24、   Research proves that nearly half of the cancers diagnosed(诊断) in the UK each year—over 130,000 in total— are caused by life choices that include smoking, drinking and eating the wrong things.

Tobacco(烟草) is the biggest factor, causing 23% for cases in men and 15.6% in women, says the Cancer Research UK report. Next comes a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in men’s diets, while for women it is being overweight. Lead author of the report, Professor Max Parkin, said: “Many people believe cancer is related to fate(命运) or ‘in the genes(基因)’, and that it depends on luck whether they get it or not. Looking at all the evidence, it is clear that around 40% of all cancers are caused by things we mostly have the power to change.”

For men, the best advice appears to be: stop smoking, eat more fruit and vegetables and cut down on how much alcohol you drink. For women, again, the best advice is to stop smoking, but also watch your weight.

In total, 14 lifestyle and environmental factors, such as where you live and the job you do, cause 134,000 cancers in the UK each year.

Some risk factors are well founded, such as smoking’s link with lung(肺) cancer. But others are less well realized. For stomach cancer, a fifth of the risk comes from having too much salt in the diet, data suggests. Some cancers, like mouth and throat cancer, are caused almost mainly by lifestyle choices. But others, like gall bladder cancer(胆囊癌), are largely not related to lifestyle.

Public Health Minister, Anne Milton, said: “By making small changes you can cut your risk of serious health problems—giving up smoking, watching you drink, getting more exercise and keeping an eye on your weight.”

【1】The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to________.

A.change B.lifestyle C.cancer D.weight

【2】According to Professor Parkin, he thinks that________.

A.cancers are caused because of genes

B.some cancers may be avoided mainly

C.most cancers are caused for no reason

D.men can keep an eye on their weight to avoid cancers

【3】According to this passage, stomach cancer can be brought on by________.

A.working overtime B.taking in too much salt

C.lack of exercise D.smoking too much

【4】Which of the following can be learnt from the passage?

A.Smoking is the only cause of lung cancer.

B.Drinking a small amount of wine is good for health.

C.Some cancers may not be caused by lifestyle choices.

D.About 134,000 people die of cancer in the UK each year.

27、A Smart Home

When you’re not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.

A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices(装置), such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the internet.

More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.

Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.

However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers(黑客),who may secretly use or change the information in the system.

Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure---smart home technology will change the way we live and work.

【1】According to the passage, nowadays a smart home can lock the door through______________.

A. electric lights   B. mirror technologies

C. mobile phones D. shopping programs

【2】The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about _________.

A. the steps to use smart systems

B. the prices of smart programs

C. the advantages of a smart home

D. the tools for setting up smart devices

【3】What’s the writer’s opinion according to the passage?

A．People will become less happy in the future.

B．People’s life style will be different in the future.

C．Mobile phones are the most important in smart homes.

D．Smart homes are much better than other smart systems.

28、   As you grow up, your parents are also getting older. "I don't want you to get old," you might say to your mom and dad. But remember, 【1】 old is a normal thing. Everyone will become old one day. What's it like to be old?

When you're with your grandparents, you might see wrinkles (皱纹) on their faces. Their hair might be gray. They need to wear 【2】 to read. They often forget things. In your neighborhood, you might see some older people around. They need people to help them.

However, old people's life can be colorful and meaningful. The old are 【3】 of wisdom (智慧). They know about lots of things and like to give advice. When people are old, they stop working. Therefore, they have a lot of time to do their favorite things, such as traveling, reading or singing. They also go back to school for further study and some of them can 【4】 get doctor degrees (博士学位) by working hard in the end. That sounds great! Besides, they have many memories of their lives, both good and bad. Do your grandparents like to 【5】 them with you?

How do you feel about getting old now?  Do you still think it's bad? 【6】 scientists made a pill (药丸) that could keep you young forever, would you take it? A student from Guangzhou said, "I wouldn't take it because it is 【7】 the laws of nature. I would feel very lonely if I stayed young forever but 【8】 didn't." Another student from Guangzhou said, "I would take it right away because I was so afraid of getting old. Getting old means getting sick and ugly. I'd like to be young and beautiful forever." How about you?
