28、 around industrial sites are the result of population mixing that increases exposure. The research published in the British Journal of Cancer backs up a 1988 theory that some as yet unidentified infection caused leukaemia-not the environmental factors widely blamed for the disease.“Childhood leukaem

29、ia appears to be an unusual result of a common infection,“ said Sir Richard Doll, an internationally-known cancer expert who first linked tobacco with lung cancer in 1950. “A virus is the most likely explanation. You would get an increased risk of it if you suddenly put a lot of people from large to

30、wns in a rural area, where you might have people who had not been exposed to the infection. “ Doll was commenting on the new findings by researchers at Newcastle University, which focused on a cluster of leukaemia cases around the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in Cumbria in northern England.

31、 Scientists have been frying to establish why there was more leukaemia in children around the Sellafield area, but have failed to establish a link with radiation or pollution. The Newcastle University research by Heather Dickinson and Louise Parker showed the cluster of cases could have been predict

32、ed because of the amount of population mixing going on in the area, as large numbers of construction workers and nuclear staff moved into a rural setting. “Our study shows that population mixing can account for the (Sellafield) leukaemia cluster and that all children, whether their parents are incom

33、ers or locals, are at a higher risk if they are born in an area of high population mixing,“ Dickinson said in a statement issued by the Cancer Research Campaign, which published the British Journal of Cancer.Their paper adds crucial weight to the 1988 theory put forward by Leo Kinlen, a cancer epide

34、miologist at Oxford University, who said that exposure to a common unidentified infection through population mixing resulted in the disease.（分数：5.00）(1).Who first hinted at the possible cause of childhood leukaemia by infection?A. Leo Kinlen B. Richard DollC. Louise Parker D. Heather Dickinson（分数：1.

35、00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which statement can be supported by Heather Dickinson and Louise Parkers new findings?A. Radiation has contributed to the disease.B. Putting a lot of people from rural area in large towns increases the risk of childhood leukaemia.C. Population mixing is the most important reason for l

36、eukaemia cluster.D. Childhood leukaemia is caused by an unusual infection.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Most people believe childhood leukaemia is due to environmental factors.B. Population mixing best explains the cause of childhood leukaemia.C. Ra

37、diation has nothing to do with childhood leukaemia.D. Children born in a large town are at higher risk of leukaemia.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Cancer Research Campaign is most possibly a _.A. medical journal B. research instituteC. private companyD. governmental agency（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).This passage is

38、mainly about _.A. the cluster of leukaemia cases around the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing partB. the kind of infection that causes childhood leukaemiaC. the causes of childhood leukaemiaD. a new finding by British scientists（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)For me, scientific knowledge is di

39、vided into mathematical sciences, natural sciences or sciences dealing with the natural world (physical and biological sciences), and sciences dealing with mankind (psychology, sociology, all the sciences of cultural achievements, every kind of historical knowledge). Apart from these sciences is phi

40、losophy, about which we Will talk later. In the first place, all this is pure of theoretical knowledge, sought only for the purpose of understanding, in order to fulfil the need to understand what is intrinsic and consubstantial to man. What distinguishes man from animal is that he knows and needs t

41、o know. If man did not know that the world existed, and that the world was of a certain kind, that he was in the world and that he himself was of a certain kind, he wouldnt be man. The technical aspects or applications of knowledge are equally necessary for man and are of the greatest importance bec

42、ause they also contribute to defining him as man and permit him to pursue a life increasingly more truly human.But even while enjoying the results of technical progress, he must defend the primacy and autonomy of pure knowledge. Knowledge sought directly for its practical applications will have imme

43、diate and foreseeable success, but not the kind of important result whose revolutionary scope is in large part unforeseen, except by the imagination of the Utopians. Let me recall a well-known example. If the Greek mathematicians had not applied themselves to the investigation of conic sections, zea

44、lously and without the least suspicion that it might someday be useful, it would not have been possible centuries later to navigate far from shore. The first man to study nature of electricity could not imagine that their experiments, carried on because of mere intellectual curiosity, would eventual

45、ly lead to modern electrical technology, without which we can scarcely conceive of contemporary life. Pure knowledge is valuable for its own sake, because the human spirit cannot resign itself to ignorance. But, in addition, it is the foundation for practical results that would not have been reached

46、 if this knowledge had not been sought disinterestedly.（分数：5.00）(1).The most important advances made by mankind come from _.A. apparently useless information B. the natural sciencesC. philosophy D. technical applications（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The author does not include among the science the study of

47、A. Astronomy B. LiteratureC. Chemistry D. Economics（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In the paragraph that follows this passage, we may expect the author to discuss _.A. unforeseen discoveries B. philosophyC. the value of pure research D. the value of technical research（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The author points ou

48、t that the Greeks who studied conic section _.A. were unaware of the value of their studiesB. were mathematiciansC. resignedD. were interested in navigation（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The practical scientist _.A. is a philosopher B. is interested in the unknownC. knows the value of what he will discoverD. knows that the world exists（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.十、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Opinion polls are now beginning to show an unwilling general agreement that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now
