Air pollution is a leading cause of cancer and classified among Group 1,or top, human carcinogens (致癌物质), said the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer agency, on Oct 17,2013.
The most widely used system for classifying carcinogens comes from the IARC, which places them into five groups. Group 1 carcinogens definitely cause cancer in humans. Group 2A is probably carcinogenic to humans, Group 2B is possibly carcinogenic, the carcinogenicity of Group 3 in humans is unclassifiable, and Group 4 is probably not carcinogenic to humans. Only a little more than 100 are classified as Group 1 cancer-causing substances, including ultraviolet radiation and tobacco smoke.
“Our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air pollutants,” the lARC's Dana Loomis said in a statement. “The results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction: the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution.”
In 2010, lung cancer resulting from air pollution killed 223,000 people worldwide, and there was also convincing evidence that it increases the risk of bladder (膀腕) cancer, according to the IARC.
Air pollution is already known to raise risks for a wide range of illnesses, including respiratory and heart diseases.
Air pollution is global, although the levels of it vary over space and time.
Loomis said people in Asia, eastern North America, some places in Central America and Mexico, as well as North Africa have relatively high exposure. Developing countries with large populations and booming manufacturing sectors, such as China, are particularly at risk.
Many cities in China, such as Beijing, frequently see smog. This week, Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang province, became the first Chinese city to officially suspend classes due to serious smog
Many developed countries face similar problems, although to a lesser degree than most developing nations. In Europe, levels of many pollutants have fallen. But between 91 and 96 percent of Europeans living in cities are exposed to levels of PM2.5—tiny particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers—that are higher than the WHO safety limits, says a report published by the European Environment Agency on Oct 15.
Although both the composition and levels of air pollution can vary dramatically from one location to the other, the 1ARC said its conclusions apply to all regions of the world. “Given the scale of the exposure affecting people worldwide, this report should send a strong signal to the international community to take act ion without further delay,” said Christopher Wild, director of the IARC.
1、What might be the best title of the passage?
A．Signals of air pollution
B．Safety limits of air pollution
C．Air pollution, cancer risk
D．Air pollution, smog risk
2、What’s the mai n task of IARC?
A．To focus on cancer-causing substances.
B．To evaluate the air quality.
C．To study the developing risk of cancer.
D．To send signals to the international community.
3、Why should the international community take action without further delay?
A．The composition and levels of air pollution vary from place to place.
B．More and more people in developing countries are exposed to air pollution.
C．Developed countries face air pollution, the level of which is higher than the
safety limits.
D．A large number of people worldwide are exposed to air pollution.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
When I started a novel when I was younger, I wanted to finish it the next day. When I started a business, I wanted to sell it a day later. When I started graduate school, I was already planning how I was going to be the fastest PhD in history.
Around the time that I had planned on receiving that PhD, I ended up getting thrown out. “Lack of maturity (成熟),” the letter said.
I don’t believe that “life is short”. Sometimes it feels very long. I wish every day was already over just so I could get to the next. And the next. An imaginary tomorrow always seems to be better than today in my head. This makes me think of my hero, Gene Wolfe, a great inventor and writer. Gene Wolfe was given the task of taking a baked potato, pressing it down, and slicing it up so that it could fit into a tennis ball can. Well, he did it. He invented Pringles (品客薯片).
Many normal human beings, not as devoted to status and creativity as Gene was, might say: “OK, that’s my life’s achievement. I’ve created an easily storable food based on a vegetable that will please children and adults for decades, maybe centuries.”
If I were Gene I would have rested on what I have achieved and played golf with friends. But Gene knew the magic secret: one page a day.
He writes a page a day. A page is about 300 words. A paragraph or two. Can you do that? Gene ended up writing 50 published novels, including many bestsellers and award-winners.
He didn’t get stereotyped and put in that Pringles can. He did what he loved to do. That’s what keeps you alive every day. Life is too long, but you shouldn’t reject the opportunities in front of you every day.
I was talking to James Manos, the creator of Dexter. He said: “My definition of success is not being able to tell the difference between work and pleasure.”
It’s OK if right now the two are separate for you. Today is a new day. This is my page today.
25. When the author started graduate school, _____.
he made up his mind to finish a novel before graduation
he decided to follow his hero’s example and start a business
he didn’t expect to end up being thrown out
he realized that life is too short to be wasted
Which of the following about Gene Wolfe is NOT true?
He is the person who invented Pringles.
He is the author’s role model.
Some of his novels are very popular.
He usually finishes his books in just a few days.
With the article, the author mainly wants to tell us that _____.
work and pleasure are equally important in life
opportunities play a big part in success
we should make the most of every day
we should always be hopeful about tomorrow

【山东省日照市第一中学2016届高三上学期期末考试】
In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practice—Eiffel Tower nose jobs (鼻整形手术). The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.
Surgeon Wang Xumin g said: “We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US$ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.
Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his private practice. They show a western-looking woman with an almost-too-perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.
Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they’ll have more chances o f finding a job,” said surgeon Xuming. “We’ve had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose; it’s helped them a lot.”
Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty “improvement”.
According to a Mr. Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xuming’s clinic, most of thei r customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well-off backgrounds.” he said.
Personally, I don’t think it so important to “improve” our appearance as long as we are skille d at our jobs. We can’t decide how we look, but we can decide how well we live and work.
28. Why do Chinese college students choose to have a nose operation?
A. To have more chances of getting a job.
B. To gain a real westerner appearance.
C. To Take good care of their family.
D. To look like the Eiffel Tower.
29. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The city of Chongqing.
B. A plastic surgery procedure.
C. The posters advertising the surgery.
D. Xuming’s private practice.
30. What can we learn from Mr. Li’s words?
A. Most families can’t afford the expensive operation.
B. Their customers are usually from wealthy families.
C. Patients can be well looked after at the clinic.
D. The number of plastic surgeons is increasing.
31. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A. Chinese employers only care about their employees’ appearance.
B. Chinese students are content with the shape of their noses.
C. A western face looks prettier than a Chinese one.
D. Skills at work speak louder than appearance.

Move over Psy. The re’s a new viral music video on the Internet that’s gett ing millions of people dancing and laughing. Psy is a singer who created Gagnam Style, a music video which featured a catchy tune and interesting dance.
The new music video called The Fox (What does the fox say?) has recently gone viral. At 123 000 000 views, it may even catch up to Gagnam Style. The video asks the question, “What does the fox say?” It’s a good question. And it seems, at least according to the music video, there is no good answer.
Actors in the video dress up like the animals th ey’re singing about. One of the brothers dresses up like a fox. There is a surprising and silly dance in the video that takes the viewer a bit off-guard. The video’s appeal is the song’s simple rhythm and catchy chorus (副歌). The makers of the video never expected the video to do well or even to be taken seriously. In fact, it started out as a joke. The song was written by two brothers from Norway, Vegard and Bard Ylvis ker. The brothers have their own late-night talk show in Norway. They thought the video would be so bad that it would give them something to talk about on their show.
On their webs ite, they say the video was “supposed to entertain a few Norwegians for three minutes —and that’s all.” But people started loving it. Some people say that o nce you listen to the delightfully silly song, you want to listen to it again and again.
The brothers hav e been guests on some major North American talk shows. They say they’re happy about the success of their video, but they know that tomorrow something else could come along and be even bigger.
32. What can be learnt about the music video invented by Psy?
A. It featured the traditional style of Korean music.
B. It was difficult for people to follow.
C. It was named after a new virus.
D. It could make people relax a lot.
33. Which of the following best describes the new music video The Fox?
A. It can cat ch the viewers’ heart easily by its amusing tune and dance.

D. Relaxed.
【答案】
32D
33A
34A
35C
33. A 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句Some
people say that once you listen to the delightfully silly song, you want to listen to it again and again.可知有些人一听到这个令人高兴的音乐就会一遍一遍地再听。说明这首歌能够抓住听众的心。故A正确。
34. A 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句The video’s appeal is the song’s simple rhythm and catchy chorus (副歌).可知这首歌的节奏很简单，说明人们很喜欢这种简单容易的风格的歌。故A正确。
35. C 猜测词义题。根据本句Th ere is a surprising and silly dance in the video that takes the viewer
a bit off-guard.前半句中surprising and silly可知视频中的舞蹈很出人意料也很愚蠢滑稽，让观众想象不到。所以“off-guard”应该与C项unexpected语义一致。
