Cancer is a disease

23、in which cells multiply without control, destroy healthy tissue, and endanger life. About 100 kinds of cancer attack human beings. The disease is a leading cause of death in many countries. In the United States and Canada, only diseases of the heart and blood vessels kill more people. Cancer occurs

24、in most species of animals and in many kinds of plants, as well as in human beings. 2. Cancer strikes people of all ages but especially middle-aged persons and the elderly. It occurs about equally among people of both sexes. The disease can attack any part of the body and may spread to other parts.

25、However, the parts most often affected are the skin, the digestive organs, the lungs, the male prostate, and the female breasts. 3. Scientists do not know exactly why cancer develops. Most experts agree that people develop cancer mainly through repeated or prolonged contact with one or more cancer-c

26、ausing agents, called carcinogens. These agents include the tars in tobacco smoke, a variety of other chemicals, and certain kinds of radiation. In many cases, cancer can be prevented if a known agent is avoided or eliminated. The elimination of cigarette smoking, for example, would prevent most cas

27、es of lung cancer and about a third of all cases of cancer. Scientists also believe that some people may inherit a tendency to develop cancer. 4. Without proper treatment, most kinds of cancer are fatal. Only a doctor can diagnose cancer. But in many cases, a doctor is consulted only after the disea

28、se is far advanced. A person should therefore be alert to any physical change that may be a symptom of cancer. Early detection greatly increases the chances of a cure. 5. Cancer shows no symptoms in its beginning stages. But symptoms may appear before the disease spreads. The American Cancer Society

29、 lists seven such warning signals. They are: (1) Change in bowel or bladder habits; (2) A sore that does not heal; (3) Unusual bleeding or discharge; (4) Thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere; (5) Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing; (6) Obvious change in wart or mole; (7) Nagging cough or h

Australian-born U.S. citizen Elizabeth Blac

35、kburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for their enzyme research and experts say they could be among the front-runners for a Nobel. Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U.S.

36、 researcher Linda Buck in 2004, who shared the prize with Richard Axel. Among the pairs possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans Ronald Evans and Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors. As usual, the award committee is giving no

37、 hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholms Karolinska Institute. Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace. The economics prize is

38、 technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Swedens central bank. Nobel left few instructions on how to select winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research. Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 mil

39、lion kronor (US $1.3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists. “Individual researchers probably dont look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when theyre at work,“ Jornvall told The Associated Press. “They get th

40、eir kicks from their research and their interest in how life functions.“ In 2006, Blackburn, of the University of California, San Francisco, and Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their wo

41、rk set the stage for research suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growth. 31 Who is NOT a likely candidate for this years Nobel Prize in medicine? （ A） Elizabeth Blackburn. （ B） Carol Greider. （ C） Linda Buck. （ D） Pierre Chambon. 32 Which is NOT true of Alfred

42、Nobel? （ A） He was from Sweden. （ B） He was the inventor of dynamite. （ C） He established the prizes in his will. （ D） He gave clear instructions on how to select winners. 33 Which was NOT originally one of the Nobel Prizes? （ A） The medicine prize. （ B） The literature prize. （ C） The peace prize. （

43、 D） The economics prize. 34 The word “kicks“ in line 6 from the bottom probably means_. （ A） excitement. （ B） income. （ C） motivation. （ D） knowledge. 35 The research by Blackburn and Greider helps suggest the role of_. （ A） money in medical research. （ B） proteins in cancer treatment. （ C） hormones

44、 in the functioning of life. （ D） telomerase in the growth of cancer cells. 35 The genes that help determine a persons individual characteristics from the color of his eyes to the score he makes on an IQ test are located on chromosomes within the cells of his body. Half of a persons chromosomes come

45、 from his father, half from his mother. Many diseases are the result of a single defective gene on one of the chromosomes. Achondroplastic dwarfism, for example, is caused by a dominant gene and any child who inherits it will have the disease. A genetic counselor confronted by a parent with such a d

46、isease could warn that half of his children risk the disease. More often, genetic diseases are caused by recessive genes. The most common is cystic fibrosis, a disorder that affects at least one in every 1600 babies and causes their lungs and other body organs to become congested with mucus. Some di

47、seases, such as the blood-clotting disorder, hemophilia, are sex-linked recessive defects carried on the female X chromosome. Many genetic defects, such as the hemophilia of European royalty, can be traced back through the family tree. And a genetic counselor can calculate probable risks for couples

48、 even before they have defective children. But faulty genes may also occur without warning by mutation in any generation. In recent years, researchers have detected a number of disorders caused by an extra chromosome, or lack of part of a chromosome. Mongolism, a form of retardation accompanied by s

49、hort stature, a flattened nose and broad hands and feet, is caused by an extra chromosome. The parents of such a child have little increased risk of having another Mongoloid. There are blood, urine and other tests which show promise in detecting more than 100 genetic diseases, including cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and some forms of muscular dystrophy. Researchers are also detecting genetic defects even before a child is born. “Intrauterine detection,“ notes Dr. Henry L. Nadler of Northwestern University M
