CPeople being tested for radiation exposureThe crisis at the damaged Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station in northern Japan has raised worries about radiation risks. We spoke Tuesday with Jonathan Links, an expert in radiation health sciences. He is a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Maryland.Professor Links says workers within the nuclear plant are the only people at risk of extremely high doses of radiation.JONATHAN LINKS: Of course, we dont know what doses theyve received, but the only persons at risk of acute radiation effects are the workers.For other people, he says, there may be a long-term worry. People can get cancer from low doses of ionizing radiation, the kind released in a nuclear accident.Professor Links says scientists can use puters to quickly model where radioactive material has blown and settled. Then they measure how large an area is contaminated. He says if the situation is serious enough, officials could take steps like telling people not to eat locally grown food or drink the water.JONATHAN LINKS: But that would only be the case if there was a significant release and, because of wind direction, the radioactive material was blown over the area, and then settled out of the air into and onto water, plants, fruits and vegetables.The reactors at Fukushima are on the Pacific coast. But Professor Links says people should not worry about any radioactive material leaking into the ocean.JONATHAN LINKS: Even in a worst-case scenario accident, the sea provides a very high degree of dilution. So the concentration of radioactivity in the seawater would still be quite low.Japan is the only country to have had atomic bombs dropped on it. That memory fromWorld War Two would create a stronger psychological sensitivity to radiation exposure, Professors Links says.Next month is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the explosion and fire that destroyed a reactor at Chernobyl in Ukraine. The nineteen eighty-six event was the worlds worst accident in the nuclear power industry.A new United Nations report says more than six thousand cases of thyroid cancer have been found. These are in people who were children in affected areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The report says that by two thousand five the cancers had resulted in fifteen deaths.The cancers were largely caused by drinking contaminated milk. The milk came from cows that ate grass where radioactive material had fallen.To get the latest updates, go to unsv. Contributing: James Brooke43. The passage mainly tells us _.A. What measures the Japan Government takes to solve the nuclear crisis .B. Worries and influences caused by the nuclear crisis .C. With great efforts of scientists , the Japan Government has put the nuclear crisis under control .D. To explain that the nuclear crisis has less effect on its neighboring countries.44. Which of the following is NOT the influences caused by the leak of Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station?A. Workers at the nuclear station are suffering the risk of death .B. People can get cancer from low doses of ionizing radiation, the kind released in a nuclear accident.C. The radioactive material may be blown over the area causing the pollution to water .D. The concentration of radioactivity in the seawater can not be diluted.45. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “dilution”?A. chemical B. salt C. dissolutionD. elimination46. According to the passage which of the following is not TRUE ?A. Water people drink ,food and vegetables people eat may be polluted by nuclear radiation .B. Japan is the only country to have had atomic bombs dropped on it.C. You can go to unsv. to get the latest news .D. The nuclear accident in Japan is the worst in the nuclear power industry. DIt is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be mon for university researchers to try their luck in the mercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a mercial return, and Lees is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) pany before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”47. By “a one-way street” (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means _.A .university researchers know little about the mercial worldB. there is little exchange between industry and academiaC. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a universityD. few university professors are willing to do industrial research48. What was Helen Lees major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?A. Flexible work hours. B. Her research interests.C .Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. D. Prospects of academic acplishments.49. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to _. A. do financially more rewarding work B. raise his status in the academic worldC. enrich his experience in medical research D. exploit better intellectual opportunities50. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they e to teach in a university? A. Increase its graduates petitiveness in the job market. B. Develop its students potential in research.C. Help it to obtain financial support from industry. D. Gear its research towards practical applications.非选择题（共40分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。Have you heard or read stories about people who are sick and have been healed by listening to music? Is it a miracle or a successful form of medicine? Can listening to music relieve pain? Around the world，music therapy(疗法) is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain，such as in childbirth or during cancer treatments，or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or money loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overe disabilities. Children can move their bodies with the music and stamp along to the beat. Why is music a useful therapy? Music is soothing and relaxingbut it also stimulates our brains. Emotionally and physically, we respond to the sounds of music. But the plexity of music(the different tempos，rhythms，melodies and harmonies) provokes(激发)the biggest response. Thus，classical music is most typically used for therapies due to plex sounds and patterns. Although rap or hip hop might be fun to listen to，its unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect Playing
