25、nC.scienceD.theory三、Reading Comperhensio(总题数：5，分数：50.00)23.Part Reading Comperhension（分数：10.00）_Radioactivity occurs naturally. The main source comes from natural sources in space, rocks, soil water and even the human body itself. This is called background radiation and levels vary from place to pla
26、ce, though the average dose is fairly constant. The radiation which is of most concern is artificial radiation which results from human activities. Sources of this include the medical use of radioactive materials, fallout and contamination from nuclear bomb tests, discharges from the nuclear industr
27、y, and the storage and dumping of radioactive waste. While artificial radiation accounts for a small proportion of the total , its effects can be disproportionate. Some of the radioactive materials discharged by human activity are not found in nature, such as plutonium(钚)while others which are found
28、 naturally may be discharged in different physical and chemical forms, allowing them to spread more readily into the environment, or perhaps accumulate in the food-chain. Many of the elements which our bodies need are produced by the nuclear industry as radioactive isotopes or variants. Some of thes
29、e are released into the environment, for example iodine and carbon, two common elements used by our bodies. Our bodies do not know the difference between an element which is radioactive and one which is not. So radioactive elements can be absorbed into living tissues, bones or the bleed, where they
30、continue to give off radiation. Radioactive strontium behaves like calcium-an essential ingredient in our bones-in our bodies. Strontium deposits in the bones send radioactivity into the bone marrow, where the blood cells are formed, pausing leukemia. In most cases, cell death only becomes significa
31、nt when large numbers of cells are killed, and the effects of cell death therefore only become apparent at comparatively high dose levels. If a damaged cell is able to survive a radiation dose, the situation is different. In many cases the effect of the cell damage may never become apparent. A few m
32、alfunctioning cell will not significantly affect an organ where the large majority are still behaving normally. However, if the affected cell is a germ cell within the ovaries or testicles, the situation is different. Ionizing radiation can damage DNA, the molecule which acts as the cells “ instruct
33、ion book“. If that germ cell later forms a child, all of the childs cells will carry the same defect. The localized chemical alteration of DNA in a single cell may be expressed as an inherited abnormality in one or many future generations. In the same way that a somatic cell(体细胞)in body tissue is ch
34、anged in such a way that it or its descendants escape the control processes which normally control cell replication, the group of cells formed may continue to have a selective advantage in growth over surrounding tissue. It may ultimately increase sufficiently in size to form a detectable cancer and
35、 in some cases cause death by spreading locally or to other parts of the body. While there is now broad agreement about the effects of high-level radiation, there is controversy over the long-term effect of low-level doses. This is complicated by the length of time it takes for effects to show up, t
36、he fact that the populations being studied are small and exact doses are hard to calculate. All that can be said is that predictions made about the effects of a given dose vary. A growing number of scientists point to evidence that there is a disproportionately high risk from low doses of radiation.
37、 Others assume a directly proportionate link between the received dose and the risk of cancer for all levels of dose, while there are some who claim that at low doses there is a disproportionately low level of risk. Questions 56 to 60Fill in the blanks below with information from the passage, using
38、no more than three words for each blank. （分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_Fanny Kemble(180993)was the niece of two Shakespearean tragedians, Sarah Siddons and Siddonss brother, John Philip Kemble. 1In fact her whole extended family constituted the foremost theatrical dynasty of the late
39、18th and early 19th centuries. Handsome and gifted, they crop up in letters and diaries throughout the period, and were generally regarded as a kind of royalty: a race apart. 2As her friend Henry James noted: “ in two hemispheres, she had seen everyone, had known everyone“. Whats more, she recorded
40、it all in many volumes of vividly written memoirs, all swarming with people, criticism, social commentary, anecdote, scenery, political o-pinion and superb set-pieces: the digging of Bruneis Thames tunnel, for instance. Kembles memoirs, especially her “Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation
41、“ , are as important historically as they are engrossing. But what fascinates us now is the way that Fanny, clever and reckless as she was, broke the rules-or the way she appropriated and revised the role prescribed to her by gender politics. 3She spoke her mind and thought nothing of walking into a
42、 stream fully clothed if it was hot. It wasnt until her marriage that her gender collided with the realities of power and money. Though she was never intended for the stage, the looming bankruptcy of her father obliged her to try her chances. Overnight, she became the toast of London. Money flowed,
43、and yet more on a tour of America, where she met a seductive young man, Pierce Butler, heir to huge rice and cotton slave-plantations in Georgia. Hoping to escape the shallow emotionalism of the theatre, assuming a companionship of equals and somehow she managed to forget the slaves, she married him
44、. 4 Butler, deeply illiberal exerted his rights. He appropriated her earnings, censored her writing and when she woke to the horrors of slavery, forbade her public opposition to it. She wept, she ran away, she returned. The birth of children, in whom she had no legal rights, further enchained her. 5
45、The Butlers did divorce. She did lose the children. But on their majority, she recovered them. She made her own money again. Criss-crossing the Atlantic, she gave Shakespeare readings to packed audiences. Every summer, she climbed the Alps, startling the guides by singing loudly as she went. She met
46、 James in 1872 and he fell under her spell, fascinated by her proud idealism, her eccentric honesty and above all by her talk of “old London“. “She reanimated the old drawing rooms, “ he wrote, “relighted the old lamps, returned the old pianos. “ When at last she died, he felt it, he said, “like the end of some reign or the fall of some empire. “ Questions 61 to 65A. At a stroke she lost everything.B. The rest of Kembles life was sheer indomitability.C. The real competition for any biographer of Kemble is Kemble her
