I often ask myself, when wi
29、ll I ever need to use this stuff when I grow up? The answer is clearly, probably never. I doubt that I will ever need to know the chemical formula of dichromate, or how to correctly identify a combustion reaction.However, where would we be today, without science? Without the great minds of Einstein
30、and Newton, where would we be? How would I be able to write this essay on the computer, if there was no science? Would I be alive today? Would humankind survive through the year and still be around today? Or would dogs be the masters of humans? Would we still be the dominant species on the Earth?So
31、many questions arise because the human race depends on the advancement of science. We are dependent on Nabisco to make that cookie you love, 99. 99% fat free, that video game company to come out with the anniversary game cartridge you want to play so badly, and that car company to alter the headligh
32、ts of the car and call it the “new“ 98 car.Where would we be without science? We depend on our researchers to make new vaccines and our doctors to make us the way we want ourselves to be. We depend on them to make us “prettier,“ to perform triple bypasses, to make sure nothing goes wrong when they o
33、perate upon us. Doctors depend on science just as much as we depend on science. Lawyers are constantly depending on doctors not knowing their science so they can get rich quick. Just look how much our society depends on the advancement of science.Science, in a way, keeps our society from falling apa
34、rt. In our society, science is everywhere. Science takes part in our everyday life more than we think. We need scientific progress so that we can simply make it through a day. When most people think of science, they think of it as a laboratory, white coats, and mixing all different-colored chemicals
35、 until something blows up. But the fact is that science is a way of life and our future.61 The author s probable answer to the question where would we be today, without science is_.（A）it is hard to imagine（B） we would be nowhere to find（C） let s see what happens（D）not every question has an answer in
36、 the world62 From the cookie to the car, the author is trying to tell us that science_.（A）would be nowhere without humans（B） is picking up its developing pace（C） raises so many present problems（D）is shaping our world63 The author implies that science_.（A）is making doctors and lawyers the richest peo
37、ple in our society（B） does not involve every profession（C） needs us as much as we need it（D）is benefiting everyone64 The author seems to draw a conclusion that science_.（A）does rather than it is（B） is ubiquitous in our life（C） does not exist in a laboratory（D）is not appreciated in the public65 The a
38、uthor is most probably_.（A）a student（B） a sociologist（C） a professor of science（D）a free-lance writer of science65 Osteoporosis used to be called “the silent disease“ because its victims didn t know they had it until it was too late and they suffered a bone fracture. Today, doctors can identify oste
39、oporosis early. Improved understanding of the disease has also led to new treatments and strategies for preventing the disease altogether.For post-menopausal women, the most common medical response to osteoporosis is hormone replacement therapy. Boosting estrogen levels strengthens the entire skelet
40、on and reduces the risk of hip fracture. Unfortunately, it sometimes causes uterine bleeding and may increase the risk of breast cancer.To bypass such side effects, researchers have developed several alternative treatments. Synthetic estrogens called Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators(SERMs)emul
41、ate estrogen with slight modifications. Another drug, alendronate, reduces spine, hip and wrist fractures by 50 percent. Researchers have even developed a nasal spray called calcitonin. Each of these alternatives has trade-offs, however. Patients must talk with their doctors to decide which therapy
42、is best for them.The ideal way to address osteoporosis is by adopting a healthy lifestyle. And the best time to do this is in childhood, when most bone mass is accumulated. Because bodies continue building bone until about age thirty, some experts believe that women in their twenties can still incre
43、ase their bone strength by as much as 20 percent.Calcium, which is available in low-fat dairy foods and dark green vegetables, is essential for preventing osteoporosis. So is vitamin D, which aides calcium absorption. Vitamin D comes from sunlight, but dietary supplements may be helpful in northern
44、climates and among those who don t get outside. The final component is regular moderate exercise because bone responds to the needs that the body puts on it. These are the simple steps that can help make “the silent disease“ truly silent.66 Hormone replacement therapy for osteoporosis_.（A）used to be
45、 effective in post-menopausal women（B） is most frequently prescribed by doctors（C） works perfectly on post-menopausal women（D）is most likely to be avoided for its side effects67 The best treatment for osteoporosis, according to the passage, _.（A）is Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators（B） is chosen
46、 by the patient（C） possesses no side effects（D）is of individuality68 To prevent osteoporosis, a healthy lifestyle should be adopted_.（A）as early as in childhood（B） when one is in his twenties（C） after bone mass accumulation stops（D）as soon as osteoporosis is diagnosed69 By making “the silent disease
47、“ truly silent, the author means that the actions suggested_.（A）can be the best therapy for osteoporosis（B） can help eradicate osteoporosis（C） can help prevent osteoporosis（D）all of the above70 The author of this passage focuses on the_of osteoporosis.（A）alternative treatment（B） early diagnosis（C） t
48、reatment and prevention（D）resulting damages70 If you are caught in a downpour, it is better to run for shelter than walk, researchers in the US advise. This may sound obvious, but an earlier study in Britain suggested that you would get just as wet running as walking.In 1995, Stephen Belcher of the
49、University of Reading and his students calculated how much water falls on top of your head and how much you sweep up on your front as you move forward. Obviously, you would get wettest standing still, and less wet the faster you moved. But the Reading team found that the benefits of running faster than about 3 metres per secondwhich they described as a walking pacewere tiny.Thomas Peterson and Trevor Wallis, met
