1、江苏省洪泽中学 09-10学年高二下学期期中考试（英语） 其他 任务型阅读（每小题 1分，满分 10分） 认真阅读短文，根据所读内容在下面表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格 1个单词。 Could your cellphone give you cancer Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, powerlines and wi-fi (路由器 ) could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from
2、 rashes to brain tumours. For example, Camilla Rees, 48, a former investment banker in the US, moved out of her apartment in San Francisco because of the radiation coming from next door. Rees told the Los Angeles Times that when her neighbors moved in and installed a wi-fi router she lost her abilit
3、y to think clearly. “I would wake up dizzy in the morning. Id fall to the floor. I had to leave to escape that nightmare,” she said. Since then, shes been on a campaign against low-level electromagnetic fields, or EMFs (低频电磁场 ). And shes not alone. Millions of people say they suffer from headaches,
4、depression, nausea and rashes when theyre too close to cellphones or other sources of EMFs. Although the World Health Organization has officially declared that EMFs seem to pose little threat, governments are still concerned. In fact, last April, the European Parliament called for countries to take
5、steps to reduce exposure to EMFs. The city of San Francisco and the state of Maine are currently considering requiring cancer-warning labels on cellphones. If these fears are reasonable, then perhaps we should all be worried about the amount of time we spend talking on our phones or plugging into wi
6、-fi hotpots. Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the University at Albany, in New York, thinks theres a greater than 95% chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia. Also theres a greater than 90% chan
7、ce that cellphones can cause brain tumours. But others believe these concerns are unreasonable paranoia (猜疑 ). Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I dont support
8、 warning labels for cellphones,” said Linet. “We dont have the evidence that theres much danger.” Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs and illness so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, ha
9、s been underway for several years. Its funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. According to Robert Park, a professor of physics at the University of Maryland in the US, the magnetic waves arent nearly powerful enough to break apart DNA, which is how known threats
10、, such as UV rays and X-rays, cause cancer. Perhaps its just psychological. Some experts find that the electro-sensitivity syndrome seems to be similar to chemical sensitivity syndrome, which is a condition thats considered to be psychological. Whether EMFs are harmful or not, a break in the country

32、prise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (发动机防盗系统 ), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again. The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a mic
33、ro-processor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicles engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted. In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for
34、car thieves. “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools, but only if the car is more than ten years old. Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as
35、their engine management computer wont allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition key (汽车等的点火开关 ). In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997. But determined criminals are still managing to find other w
36、ays to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owners keys .And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system. If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stol
37、en. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal. Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicles movements via the cars GPS unit. 56. Whats the function of the remote immobili
38、zer fitted to a car A. To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen B. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops C. To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief D. To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner 57. By saying “The pattern of vehicl
39、e crime has changed” (Lines1-2,Para.3) Martyn Randall suggests that _. A. Self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft B. the thief has to make use of computer technology C. it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealing D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10
40、years old 58. What is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal A. A GPS satellite positioning receiver B. A unique ID card C. A special cellphone D. A code ignition key 59. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre A. To give the d
41、river time to contact the operation centre B. To allow for possible errors in the GPS system C. To keep police informed of the cars movements D. To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm 答案： 59 BCBB Did you get a flu shot this year For the first time, the Centers for Disease Control a
42、nd Prevention in the US is recommending that all children ages 6 months through 18 years receive the flu vaccine. Vaccines battle diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. A weakened form of the germ is introduced into the body. The body makes special substances called antibodies to fight the germs.
43、If the actual germs were to attack, the antibodies would fight them. Because there are many kinds of flu viruses, scientists must create a new vaccine formula (配方 ) each year. Researchers must make a prediction. “The flu vaccine is not as effective as the polio (小儿麻痹症 ) vaccine or the measles(麻疹 ) v
44、accine,” says Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. “Its not a great vaccine, but it is quite a good vaccine.” But a flu vaccine doesnt work for everyone. There are certain people who should be careful about taking it. Because the vaccine is produced from eggs, those who
45、 are allergic (过敏的 ) to eggs should not take it. If you have a fever, you should wait until you recover. Some people are afraid that they might get the flu from the flu shot. Scientist say that it is not possible, because the viruses in the flu shot are inactivated (灭活的 ). But some minor side effect
46、s such as low-grade fever and body aches could occur. If they do, they begin soon after the shot and usually last only one to two days. 60. What is an antibody A. An antibody is a vaccine formula B. An antibody is a germ that is introduced into the body C. An antibody is a vaccine that fights diseas
47、es. D. An antibody is a special substance to fight germs. 61. Which of the following statements is NOT true A. Not everyone is suitable for the flu vaccine. B.
