However research now suggests t
26、hat mobile phone radiation has at least one positive side effect it can help prevent Alzheimers,【C2】_in the mice that acted as test subjects. Its been suspected, though never proven, that heavy use of mobile phone is bad for your health. Its thought that walking around with a cellphone permanently a

But what has now been proven, in a very perfunctory manner, is that mobile phone radiation can have an effect on your brai
28、n. 【C4】_in this case it was a positive rather than negative effect. According to BBC News, the Florida Alzheimer Disease Research Center conducted a study on 96 mice to see if the radiation given off by mobile phone could affect the onset of Alzheimers. Some of the mice were “genetically altered to
29、develop beta-amyloid plagues in their brains“【C5 】 _they aged. These are a marker of Alzheimers. All 96 mice were then “exposed to the lector-magnetic【C6】_generated by a standard phone for two one-hour periods each day for seven to nine months. “The lucky things. 【C7 】_, the experiment showed that t
30、he mice altered to be predisposed to dementia were protected from the disease if exposed before the onset of the illness. Their cognitive abilities were so unimpaired as to be virtually【C8】_to the mice not genetically altered in any way. Unfortunately, although the results are positive, the scientis
31、ts dont actually know why exposed to mobile phone radiation has this effect. But its hoped that further study and testing could result in a non-invasive【C9】_for preventing and treating Alzheimers disease. Autopsies carried out on the mice also concluded no ill-effects of their exposure to the radiat

And its sure there are negatives as well as this one positive. 51 【C1 】（A）devices（B） risks（C） phenomena（D）claims52 【C2 】（A）at least（B） at most（C） as if（D）as well5

Faced with fierce competition, the owner has cut his cost
35、s by outsourcing some of his production. Scores of people work for him in their homes, threading elastic into masks by hand. They are paid below the minimum wage, with no job security and no healthcare provision. Users of medical masks and other laboratory gear probably give little thought to where
36、their equipment comes from. That needs to change. A significant proportion of these products are made in the developing world by low-paid people with inadequate labor rights. This leads to human misery on a tremendous scale. Take lab coats. Many are made in India, where most cotton farmers are paid
37、an unfair price for their crops and factory employees work illegal hours for poor pay. One-fifth of the worlds surgical instruments are made in northern Pakistan. When I visited a couple of a years ago I found most worker toiling 12 hours a day, seven days a week, for less than a dollar a day, expos
38、ed to noise, metal dust and toxic chemicals. Thousands of children, some as young as 7, work in the industry. To win international contracts, factory owners must offer rock-bottom prices, and consequently drive down wages and labor conditions as far as they can. We laboratory scientists in the devel
39、oped world may unwittingly be encouraging this: we ask how much our equipment will cost, but which of us asks who made it and how much they were paid?This is no small matter. Science is supposed to benefit humanity, but because of the conditions under which their tools are made, many scientists may
40、actually be causing harm. What can be done? A knee-jerk boycott of unethical goods is not the answer; it would just make things worse for workers in those manufacturing zones. What we need is to start asking suppliers to be transparent about where and how their products are manufactured and urge the
41、m to improve their manufacturing practices. It can be done. Many universities are committed to fair trade in the form of ethically sourced tea, coffee or bananas. That model should be extended to laboratory goods. There are signs that things are moving. Over the past few years I have worked with hea
42、lth services in the IK and in Sweden. Both have recently instituted ethical procurement practices. If science is truly going to help humanity, it needs to follow suit.61 From the medical masks to the lab coats, the author is trying to tell us_.（A）the practice of occupational protection in the develo
43、ping world（B） the developing countries plagued by poverty and disease（C） the cheapest labor in the developing countries（D）me human misery behind them62 The concerning phenomenon the author had observed, according to the passage_.（A）is nothing but the repetition of the miserable history（B） could have
44、 been even exaggerated（C） is unfamiliar to the wealthy west（D）is prevailing across the world63 The author argues that when researchers in the wealthy west buy tools, they should_.（A）have the same concern with the developing countries（B） be blind to their sources for the sake of humanity（C） pursue go
45、od bargains in the international market（D）spare a thought for how they were made64 A proper course of action suggested by the author is_.（A）to refuse to import the unethical goods from the developing world（B） to ask scientists to tell the truth as the prime value of their work（C） to urge the manufac
46、turers to address the immoral issues（D）to improve the transparency of international contracts65 By saying at the end of the passage that if science is truly going to help humanity, it needs to follow suit, the author means that_.（A）the scientific community should stand up for all humanity（B） the pri
47、me value of scientists work is to tell the truth（C） laboratory goods also need to be ethically sourced（D）because of science, there is hope for humanity65 A little information is a dangerous thing. A lot of information, if its inaccurate or confusing even more so. This is a problem for anyone trying
48、to spend or invest in an environmentally sustainable way. Investors are barraged with indexes purporting to describe companies eco-credentials, some of dubious quality Green labels on consumer products are ubiquitous, but their claims are hard to verify. The confusion is evident from the New Scienti
49、sts analysis of whether public perception of companies green credentials reflect reality. It shows that many companies considered “green“ have done little to earn that reputation, while others do not get sufficient credit for their efforts to reduce their environmental impact. Obtaining better information is crucial, because decisions by consumers and big investors will help propel us towards a green economy. At present, it is too
