25、 Cloze(总题数：1，分数：20.00)For years, scientists have been warning us that the radiation from mobile phones is detrimental to our health, without actually having any evidence to back these【C1】_up. However research now suggests that mobile phone radiation has at least one positive side effect it can help
26、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 attached to the side of your head is almost sure to be【C3】_your brain. And tha
27、t may well be true, but Id rather wait until its proven before giving up that part of my daily life. But what has now been proven, in a very perfunctory manner, is that mobile phone radiation can have an effect on your brain. 【C4】_in this case it was a positive rather than negative effect. According
28、 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 develop beta-amyloid plagues in their brains“【C5】_they aged. These are a mark
29、er 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 the mice altered to be predisposed to dementia were protected from the disease if
30、 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 scientists dont actually know why exposed to mobile phone radiation has this effect. But
31、 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 radiation. However the fact that the radiation prevented Alzheimers means mobile phone

Faced with fierce competition, the owner has cut his costs by outsourcing some of his produ
35、ction. 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 their equipment comes from. That n
36、eeds 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 an unfair price for their crops an
37、d 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, exposed to noise, metal dust and toxic
38、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 developed world may unwittingly be enco
39、uraging 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 actually be causing harm. What ca
40、n 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 them to improve their manufacturing
41、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 health services in the IK and in Swe
42、den. Both have recently instituted ethical procurement practices. If science is truly going to help humanity, it needs to follow suit.（分数：10.00）(1).From the medical masks to the lab coats, the author is trying to tell us_.（分数：2.00）A.the practice of occupational protection in the developing worldB.th
43、e developing countries plagued by poverty and diseaseC.the cheapest labor in the developing countriesD.me human misery behind them(2).The concerning phenomenon the author had observed, according to the passage_.（分数：2.00）A.is nothing but the repetition of the miserable historyB.could have been even e
44、xaggeratedC.is unfamiliar to the wealthy westD.is prevailing across the world(3).The author argues that when researchers in the wealthy west buy tools, they should_.（分数：2.00）A.have the same concern with the developing countriesB.be blind to their sources for the sake of humanityC.pursue good bargain
45、s in the international marketD.spare a thought for how they were made(4).A proper course of action suggested by the author is_.（分数：2.00）A.to refuse to import the unethical goods from the developing worldB.to ask scientists to tell the truth as the prime value of their workC.to urge the manufacturers
46、 to address the immoral issuesD.to improve the transparency of international contracts(5).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_.（分数：2.00）A.the scientific community should stand up for all humanityB.the pri
47、me value of scientists work is to tell the truthC.laboratory goods also need to be ethically sourcedD.because of science, there is hope for humanityA 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 to spe
48、nd 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 Scientists analysis of whether public perception of companies green credentials reflect reality.
