    Between 1953 and 1960, 110 people in Japan's Minimata Bay area died mysteriously. Studies showed that people had eaten fish in which quantities of mercury (汞) were found. Where did it come from? It was poured into the bay by a plastics plant. The Japanese government closed that plant and started strictly controlling the use and disposal (处理) of mercury compounds (化合物). But this didn't prevent another terrible event.

        In 1965, 26 people at Nigata, Japan, were struck by mercury poisoning. Five died. All of them had eaten fish with mercury in it. And again it was caused by a plastics plant.

        Events like these are not limited to agriculture or plastics plants. Because of such events, however, it is clear that we must maintain a close watch over our practices concerning poisons, foods and water. Indeed, in our industrial age close watch may forever be the price of health.

    1．According to the passage, how many people in all died in the two terrible events?

        A. 110.

        B. 136.

        C. 115.

        D. 141.

    2．Many people in the bay area died ________.

        A. of eating fish

        B. of mercury poisoning

        C. strangely

        D. mysteriously

    3．The close of the plastics plant and the control of mercury compounds ________.

        A. stopped people from being poisoned

        B. kept plants from using mercury compounds

        C. prevented plants from pouring mercury waste into the day

        D. had little effect on other plastics plants

    4．From the passage, we know that ________.

        A. other fields, besides agriculture, may cause pollution

        B. both agriculture and industry are harmless

        C. only agriculture is safe to people

        D. only plastic plants are harmful to our health

     

    答案：C;B;D;A
    解析：

    		1.       根据短文内容，第一次死了110人，第二次死了5人，所以一共死了115人。

    2.       信息句为 “Studies showed that people had eaten fish in which quantities of mercury (汞) were found.”

    3.       “But this didn't prevent another terrible event.” 根据这句以及第二段可知，本题选D。

    4.       信息句为 “Events like these are not limited to agriculture or plastics plants.”

    　　Children who suffer head trauma(创伤)call experience headaches months after the injury, with girls more likely to have them than boys, a new study finds．

    　　The researchers also found that the risk of having these headaches was greater after a mild traumatic brain injury(TBI)than after a moderate or severe one．

    　　The study, published online Dec．5 in the journal Pediatrics, included children aged 5 to 1 7 who were hospitalized with traumatic brain injury in King County in Washington State and one in Philadelphia．Three months after treatment, headaches were reported by 43 percent of children who'had a mild TBI, 37 percent of those who had a moderate to severe TBI, and 26 percent of children in a control group who'd suffered broken arms but no head trauma．

    　　The researchers also assessed the children one year after they were hospitalized and didn't find any significant differences in headaches between the groups．

    　　Teens and girls appear to have the highest risk for headache after mild TBI, and the course of recovery after such events is likely affected by age, injury severity and gender(性别), the researchers concluded．

    　　The authors noted that more than half a million children in the United States suffer a TBI each year．

    　　“Little research has focused on chronic(慢性的)headache post-TBI in children, ”Dr．Heidi Blume, of me Seattle Children'S Research Institute, said in锄institute news release(发布会)．“The common existence of headache following mild TBI appear to follow a pattern we see in primary headache disorders such as a migraine(偏头痛)．”

    　　She said the research will examine similarities betwe．en TBI and migraine, including a look at whether“migraine treatment will work for post．traumatic headaches．”

    　　In the meantime, ‘'what parents need to know is that some children with TBI may have headaches for several weeks or months after TBI, but that most recover with time, ”Blume said．“And significantly, girls and teenagers appear to be at particular risk for headaches after mild TBI．Parents should be aware of what to expect after mild TBI, and that includes TBI for sports．related injuries．”
