The main source comes from natural sources in space, rocks,

26、 soil water and even the human body itself. This is called background radiation and levels vary from place to place, 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

27、 of radioactive materials, fallout and contamination from nuclear bomb tests, discharges from the nuclear industry, 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

28、 materials discharged by human activity are not found in nature, such as plutonium(钚 )while others which are found 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 ele

29、ments which our bodies need are produced by the nuclear industry as radioactive isotopes or variants. Some of these 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

30、and one which is not. So radioactive elements can be absorbed into living tissues, bones or the bleed, where they 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

31、 bone marrow, where the blood cells are formed, pausing leukemia. In most cases, cell death only becomes significant 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 radiatio

32、n dose, the situation is different. In many cases the effect of the cell damage may never become apparent. A few malfunctioning 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 testicl

33、es, the situation is different. Ionizing radiation can damage DNA, the molecule which acts as the cells “ instruction 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 inh

34、erited abnormality in one or many future generations. In the same way that a somatic cell(体细胞 )in body tissue is changed 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

35、 in growth over surrounding tissue. It may ultimately increase sufficiently in size to form a detectable cancer and 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 th

36、e long-term effect of low-level doses. This is complicated by the length of time it takes for effects to show up, the 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 growi

37、ng number of scientists point to evidence that there is a disproportionately high risk from low doses of radiation. 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 disprop

38、ortionately low level of risk. Questions 56 to 60Fill in the blanks below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank.50 Fanny Kemble(180993)was the niece of two Shakespearean tragedians, Sarah Siddons and Siddonss brother, John Philip Kemble.【 R1】 _In fact her w

39、hole extended family constituted the foremost theatrical dynasty of the late 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. 【 R2】 _As her friend Henry James noted: “ in two

40、 hemispheres, she had seen everyone, had known everyone“. Whats more, she recorded 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 instanc

41、e. Kembles memoirs, especially her “Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation“ , 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 t

42、o her by gender politics. 【 R3】 _She spoke her mind and thought nothing of walking into a 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

43、obliged her to try her chances. Overnight, she became the toast of London. Money flowed, 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, assumin

44、g a companionship of equals and somehow she managed to forget the slaves, she married him. 【 R4】 _ 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,

45、 she returned. The birth of children, in whom she had no legal rights, further enchained her. 【 R5】 _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 audie

46、nces. Every summer, she climbed the Alps, startling the guides by singing loudly as she went. She met 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, “reli

47、ghted 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 65 A. At a stroke she lost everything. B. The rest of Kembles life was sheer indomitability. C. The real competition for any biographe

48、r of Kemble is Kemble herself. D. She forgot the existence of slavery in American plantations. E. She never cared about such prescriptions. F. The Kemble family was once a royal family that is separated from common people. G. Her father and her French mother were also actors. 51 【 R1】 52 【 R2】 53 【
