【文章內容簡介】 nd and Italy 48. Which one of the following is wrong? A. The passage tells us about some various goal records set at past World Cup. B. The youngest player was only 17 years old from Brazil. C. Poland won the match against Brazil by four goals in 1938. D. Thanks to Ernie Brandts, Holland won the match against Italy. C A recent study conducted by the Pine Street Foundation showed that a dog39。s nose might have the ability to detect cancer. A dog39。s nose, which was the “ medical device” used as part of the research, is believed to be among the world39。s most powerful olfactory(嗅覺的 ) sensors. The study was conducted with 169 subjects 55 of which had been diagnosed as having lung cancer, 31 have breast cancer and 83 control subjects—— people without cancer. During the study, five professionally trained scent dogs were used to distinguish between the breath samples of cancer patients and those who were healthy. With an average of 90% accuracy, the research was deemed a success. The Pine Street Foundation conducted its research on the belief that cancer cells give off a different type of metabolic(新陳代謝 ) waste product than normal cells. According to the study, the difference is so great that it can be detected by a dog39。s sense of smell, including both early and late stages of the disease. In the conclusion of the study the Pine Street Foundation said that even ordinary dogs might be trained to identify the presence of cancer with only a breath sample. The anization also said that dogs can recognize the disease with astonishing amount accuracy and, finally, that the dog39。s detection was not hindered(妨礙 ) by the presence of age, smoking or stage of cancer. The Pine Street Foundation plans to continue their research and is currently seeking funding to launch new studies. 49. If we want to add several different detecting examples to the passage, we should write them __________. A． between paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 B． between paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 C． between paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 D． before paragraph 1 or after paragraph 4 50. The best title for this passage might be ______. A． Dogs may smell cancer B． Why dogs can smell cancer C． A Study on dogs39。 special ability D． A study on breast cancer 51. Dogs can smell cancer because ____________. A． they can detect faster than man B． their sense of smell is very sensitive C． dogs metabolize the food slowly D． patients give off bad smell 52. People can know from the passage _________. A． all dogs can be used to smell cancer B． it39。s not easy to find out cancer in the early stage C． most of the research experiments are successful D． dogs detect cancer by breathing and feeling D In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people. The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds even thousands of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and es out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion. The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane39。s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea, the mountains of water moving toward the lowpressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore. 53. When is an ordinary tropical storm called a hurricane? A. When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas. B. When it hits he coastline. C. When it is more than 75 mils wide. D. When its winds reach 75 miles per hour. 54. What is the worst thing about hurricane? A. The destructive effects of water. B. The heat they release. C. That they last about nine days on the average. D. Their strong winds. 55. The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by . the lowpressure area in the center of the storm B. the force of waves of water. C. the trade winds D. the increasing heat 56. Apparently the word “do
