Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍 )to transportation and communication. In many countries, laws stop their citizens from moving fre

15、ely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africas government used to require b

Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that t

18、ravellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay. Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often tr

19、y to keep military or industrial information secret. Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that p

Plan for Disease Prevention Urging Americans to take responsibility for their health, Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a $ 15 million program to try to encourage communities

24、 to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes. The initiative highlights the cost of chronic diseasesthe leading causes of death in the United Statesand outlines ways that people can prevent them, including better diet and increased exercise. “In the United States t

25、oday, 7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness, disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases,“ the Health and Human Services Department said in a statement. The causes are often behaviorsmoking, poor eating habits and a lack of exercise. “I am convinced that prevent

26、ing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future,“ Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative. “Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the escalating costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our life

27、style choices. “ Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $ 351 billion in 2003. “These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable, yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for US to lead healthier, longer lives,“ he said. The $ 15 m

28、illion is slated to go to communities to promote prevention, pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more. Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes, and prevent cancer and strokes. The money will also go to communi

29、ty organizations, clinics and nutritionists who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening. The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening, including P

30、ap tests for cervical cancer, mammograms for breast cancer, colonoscopies, and prostate checks. If such cancers were all caught by early screening, the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent. 31 Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US? （ A

31、） They account for 70% of all deaths. （ B） They are responsible for most of the health care costs. （ C） They often result in unhealthy lifestyles. （ D） They are largely preventable. 32 The author mentions all the following as ways of disease prevention EXCEPT_. （ A） better diet （ B） increased exerci

32、se （ C） reduction on smoking （ D） higher survival rate for cancer 33 The article indicates that more money spent on disease prevention will mean_. （ A） greater responsibility of the government （ B） much less money needed for disease treatment （ C） higher costs of health care （ D） more lifestyle choi

33、ces for people 34 The $ 15 million program is aimed at_. （ A） promoting disease prevention （ B） building more sidewalks （ C） helping needy communities （ D） wiping out chronic diseases 35 Early cancer screening can help reduce significantly_. （ A） the death rates for all chronic diseases （ B） the kin

34、ds of cancer attacking people （ C） the cancer incidence rate （ D） cancer death rate 35 Batteries Built by Viruses What do chicken pox, the common cold, the flu, and AIDS have in common? Theyre all disease caused by viruses, tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. Its no wonder that

35、when most people think about viruses, finding ways to steer clear of viruses is whats on peoples minds. Not everyone runs from the tiny disease carriers, though. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, scientists have discovered that some viruses can be helpful in an unusual way. They are putting viruses to wo

36、rk, teaching them to build some of the worlds smallest rechargeable batteries. Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair, but theyre not so strange for engineer Angela Belcher, who first came up with the idea. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)in Cambridge, she and her colla

37、borators bring together different areas of science in new ways. In the case of the virus-built batteries, the scientists combine what they know about biology, technology and production techniques. Belchers team includes Paula Hammond, who helps put together the tiny batteries, and Yet-Ming Chiang, a

38、n expert on how to store energy in the form of a battery. “Were working on things we traditionally dont associate with nature,“ says Hammond. Many batteries are already pretty small. You can hold A, C and D batteries in your hand. The coin-like batteries that power watches are often smaller than a p

39、enny. However, every year, new electronic devices like personal music players or cell phones get smaller than the year before. As these devices shrink, ordinary bakeries wont be small enough to fit inside. The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package. Right now, Belchers model bat

40、tery, a metallic disk completely built by viruses, looks like a regular watch battery. But inside, its components are very smallso tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope. How small are these battery parts? To get some idea of the size, pluck one hair from your head. Place your hair on

41、 a piece of white paper and try to see how wide your hair is pretty thin, right? Although the width of each persons hair is a bit different, you could probably fit about 10 of these virus-built battery parts, side to side, across one hair. These microbatteries may change the way we look at viruses.

42、36 According to the first paragraph, people try to_. （ A） kill microorganisms related to chicken pox, the flu, etc （ B） keep themselves away from viruses because they are invisible （ C） stay away from viruses because they are causes of various diseases （ D） cure themselves of virus-related diseases

43、by taking medicines 37 What is Belchers team doing at present? （ A） It is finding ways to get rid of viruses. （ B） It is mass-producing microbatteries. （ C） It is making batteries with viruses. （ D） It is analyzing virus genes. 38 What expression below is opposite in meaning to the word “shrink“ app

44、earing in Paragraph 5? （ A） Broaden. （ B） Spread. （ C） Extend. （ D） Expand. 39 Which of the following is true of Belchers battery mentioned in Paragraph 6? （ A） It is made of metal. （ B） It is a kind of watch battery. （ C） It can only be seen with a microscope. （ D） It is a metallic disk with viruse

45、s inside it. 40 How tiny is one battery part? （ A） Its width is one tenth of a hair. （ B） It equals the width of a hair. （ C） It is as thin as a piece of paper. （ D） Its width is too tiny to measure. 40 Perfect Crime Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of steal

46、ing or an even cleverer cheat(诈骗 ). Either way, it could be the perfect crime(犯罪 ), because the criminals are birdshorning pigeons! The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up then. The car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a

47、 bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off. There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an ev

48、en lazier and more inventive criminal mindone that avoids(避免 )not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he l

49、ets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad(启事 )in the newspaper asking for help. The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded- under 3,000 Taiwanese dollarsseems too little for a car worth many times more. Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds
