Then, most Americans had little interest in 1,500,000 squ
16、are kilometers “of icebergs and polar bears“beyond Canada“s western borders, far from the settled areas of the United States. 2 In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle, Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bears. Ice masses lie buried in the earth, which is permanent
17、ly frozen to a depth of 90 or more meters. From early May until early August, the midnight sun never sets on this flat, treeless region, but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two-thirds of a meter down. 3 Alaska is America“s largest state, but only about 325,000 people live there. According
18、 to estimates, 800,000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only about 640,000 hectares are being cultivated. 4 Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries. It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia, probably crossing Bering Strait, name
19、d for Vitus Bering, the Danish sea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in 1741. The Eskimos are the state“s earliest known inhabitants. Russian fur traders established settlements but, by the time Alaska was sold to the United States, most of the traders had departed. 5 In 1896 go

Alaska was never completely cut off again, although even today transportation is a major problem. There are only two motor ro
21、utes from the U. S. mainland, and within the state, every town has its own airfield. Planes fly passengers, mail and freight to the most distant villages. 6 The gold that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended, and although many stories about mining camps have become part of American lit
22、erature, the gold from Alaskan earth contributed less to economic progress than the fish from Alaskan waters. The fish caught in a single year range in value from $ 80 million to $ 90 million. Fur-bearing animals are plentiful in the forests and streams, and valuable fur seals inhabit the waters. Af

27、or, it will not surprise you to learn that travel writing has a long and venerable history. Almost from the earliest annals of recorded time individuals have found ready audiences for their accounts of journeys to strange and exotic locales. One of the earliest travel writers, a Greek geographer and
28、 historian named Strabo, lived around the time of Christ. Though Strabo is known to have traveled from east of the Black Sea west to Italy and as far south as Ethiopia, he also used details gleaned from other writers to extend and enliven his accounts. His multivolumed work Geography provides the on
29、ly surviving account of the cities, peoples, customs, and geographical peculiarities of the whole known world of his time. Two other classic travel writers, the Italian Marco Polo and the Moroccan Ibn Battutah, lived in roughly the same time period. Marco Polo traveled to China with his father and u
30、ncle in about A. D. 1275 and remained there 16 or 17 years, visiting several other countries during his travels. When Marco returned to Italy he dictated his memoirs, including stories he had heard from others, to a scribe, with the resulting book Il milione being an instant success. Though difficul
31、t to attest to the accuracy of all he says, Marco“s book impelled Europeans to begin their great voyages of exploration. Ibn Battutah“s interest in travel began on his required Muslim journey to Mecca in 1325, and during his lifetime he journeyed through all the countries where Islam held sway. His
32、travel book the Rihlah is a personalized account of desert journeys, court intrigues, and even the effect of the Black Death in the various lands he visited. In almost 30 years of traveling it is estimated that Ibn Battutah covered more than 75,000 miles.（分数：15.00）(1).This passage is mostly about _.

36、at mobile phone radiation can cause changes in human cells that might affect the brain, the leader of the research team said. But Darius Leszczynski, who headed the 2-year study and will present findings next week at a conference in Quebec(魁北京), said more research was needed to determine the serious
37、ness of the changes and their impact on the brain or the body. The study at Finland“s Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority found that exposure to radiation from mobile phones can cause increased activity in hundreds of proteins in human cells grown in a laboratory, he said. “We know that there is
38、some biological response. We can detect it with our very sensitive approaches, but we do not know whether it can have any physiological effects on the human brain or human body,“ Leszczynski said. Nonetheless the study, the initial findings of which were published last month in the scientific journa
39、l Differentiation, raises new questions about whether mobile phone radiation can weaken the brain“s protective shield against harmful substances. The study focused on changes in cells that line blood vessels and on whether such changes could weaken the functioning of the blood-brain barrier, which p
40、revents potentially harmful substances from entering the brain from the bloodstream, Leszczynski said. The study found that a protein called hsp27 linked to the functioning of the blood-brain barrier showed increased activity due to irradiation and pointed to a possibility that such activity could m
41、ake the shield more permeable(能透过的), he said. “Increased protein activity might cause cells to shrinknot the blood vessels but the cells themselvesand then tiny gaps could appear between those cells through which some molecules could pass.“ he said. Leszczynski declined to speculate on what kind of
42、health risks that could pose, but said a French study indicated that headache, fatigue and sleep disorders could result. “These are not life-threatening problems but can cause a lot of discomfort,“ he said, adding that a Swedish group had also suggested a possible link with Alzheimer“s disease. “Whe
43、re the truth is do not know,“ he said. Leszczynski said that he, his wife and children use mobile phones, and he said that he did not think his study suggested any need for new restrictions on mobile phone use.（分数：15.00）(1).According to Leszczynski, how does mobile phone affect one“s health?（分数：3.00
44、）A.Mobile phone radiation can increase protein activities and such activities can make the protective shield more permeable.B.Mobile phone radiation can shrink the blood vessels and prevent blood from flowing smoothly.C.Mobile phone radiation will bring stress to people exposed to it.D.Mobile phone
45、radiation kills blood cells at a rapid speed.(2).What“s the result of the French study?（分数：3.00）A.The harm of mobile phone radiation is life-threatening.B.Mobile phone may affect one“s normal way of thinking.C.Sleep disorders could result from mobile phone radiation.D.A protein called hsp27 is kille
46、d by mobile phone radiation.(3).What kind of disease is not caused by the use of mobile phone?（分数：3.00）A.Fatigue.B.Headache.C.Alzheimer“s disease.D.Tuberculosis.(4).According to the passage, what would be the future of the use of mobile phone?（分数：3.00）A.People will be forbidden to use mobile phone.B
47、.People dare not use mobile phone because of its radiation.C.People will continue to use mobile phone.D.There will be new restrictions on the use of mobile phone.(5).Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：3.00）A.The research in Finland found that mobile phone radiation will

49、tion of works cut for the cinema in Britain dropped from 40 per cent when I joined the BBFC in 1975 to less than 4 per cent when I left. But I don“t think that 20 years from now it will be possible to regulate any medium as closely as I regulated film. The Internet is, of course, the greatest problem for this century. The world will have to find a means, through some sort of international treaty of United Nations initiative, to control the material that“s now going totally unregulated into people“s homes. That said, it will only take one little country like Paraguay
