32、ome animals apparently can resist cancer by strengthening their immune system in preparation for winter, Johns Hopkins researchers said on Wednesday. The scientists said their study is the first to show that the central nervous system, reacting to environmental changes, may spark changes in the body

33、s immune system that control the growth of tumors. They said if that is the ease, a better understanding of how the process works eventually could lead to new cancer treatments. Dr. Randy Nelson, an associate professor of psychology at Hopkins, stressed at a meeting of the Society of Neuroscience th

34、at further study would be needed to confirm a connection between the length of the day, the animals immune system and cancer. More work also would be needed to show that the findings could be applied to human cancer. Dr. Faye Austin, an immunologist with the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, sa

35、id: “Its a very intriguing observation that the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumour. But I think that the draws really need further work to clarify the mechanics.“ But Austin said the findings were surprising and important, only because they open up a new approach for resea

36、rch. Studies showed that stress weakened the immune system in animals. They figured that because winter is stressful, the season probably causes exertion (影响 ) on the immune system. The researchers reasoned that animals that compensated by boosting (促进 ) their immune systems as winter approached wou

37、ld have a better chance of surviving and producing offspring. “In the same way that animals have evolved to select the best time to breed, it struck me that animals ought to be able to predict when conditions would be challenging immunologically.“ Nelson said. 46 Dr. Nelson has drawn a conclusion th

38、at _. （ A） the findings of animals resistance to cancer can be applied to human cancer treatments （ B） the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumor （ C） there is a relation between the length of the day, the animals immune system and cancer （ D） there is a new approach for studyi

40、nervous system. （ B） The treatment of cancer. （ C） The ability to produce offspring. （ D） The control of the growth of tumors. 49 Animals can strengthen their immune system in preparation for winter because _. （ A） when season changes, the central nervous system reacts to environment and that sparks

41、 changes in the bodys immune system （ B） animals have shorter exposure to light in winter than in summer （ C） animals have evolved to select the best time to breed and be able to predict the change of conditions （ D） all of the above 50 Which statement can be the best title for this article? （ A） Dr

Randy Nelson and His New Findings. （ B） Animals Resistance to Cancer. （ C） Winter and Animals Immune System. （ D） A Light in the Cancer Darkness. 50 Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors (流星 ) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our

43、 protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation (辐射 ) from the sun are screened off. As soon

44、 as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage. Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem“. Scientists have reason

45、 to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damage

46、d, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的 ) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are

47、 going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in space laboratory. Rugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far. 51 According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to

48、man in that _. （ A） it protects him against the harmful rays from space （ B） it provides sufficient light for plant growth （ C） it supplies the heat necessary for human survival （ D） it screens off the falling meteors 52 We know from the passage that _. （ A） exposure to even tiny amounts of radiatio

49、n is fatal （ B） radiation is avoidable in space exploration （ C） astronauts in spacesuit neednt worry about radiation damage （ D） the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming 53 The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members _. （ A） remains unknown （ B） is insignificant （ C） seems overestimated （ D） is enormous 54 It can be inferred from the passage that _. （ A） radiation is not a threat to well-p
