17．Many people have never heard of Mesothelioma and are unaware of its symptoms．Although considered a rare form of cancer，each year the number of cases grows．With the prevalence（流行）of this disease on the rise，it is critical to understand why and how Mesothelioma develops and what courses of action can be taken in the event of diagnosis．The following is a list of frequently asked questions and answers that will provide you with some information on Mesothelioma，and the legal issues surrounding it．
What is Mesothelioma？
Mesothelioma is the term used to describe a cancerous tumor found in the mesothelial cells of an organ．The organs where this form of cancer is most commonly found are the lungs，heart and abdominal organs．Pleural Mesothelioma is cancer of the lung lining（组织膜）and is the most common form of Mesothelioma．
What causes Mesothelioma？
Mesothelioma is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos（石棉）．Asbestos is often found in building materials used before the mid 1970's．In addition，materials such as pipes，boiler insulation，floor，ceiling and roof tiles may contain asbestos．
How much asbestos exposure will cause Mesothelioma？
Generally，the probability of developing this form of cancer is in accordance with the length of time you are exposed to asbestos．Also，your health is at risk if your exposure to asbestos is intense．It should be noted that Mesothelioma has a latency（潜伏）period of 20to 50years．This means that you may develop the disease long after your exposure to asbestos．On average，people tend to develop Mesothelioma somewhere between 35and 40years after exposure．
How quickly does Mesothelioma progress？
The onset of Mesothelioma is quite slow．Patients will begin to experience symptoms such as lower back pain and chest pain．These symptoms may also be accompanied by weight loss，fever and difficulty breathing．Unfortunately，once Mesothelioma develops，it quickly becomes aggressive and treatment must be sought immediately．
Can Mesothelioma be treated？
Doctors are able to use several traditional methods of cancer treatment for Mesothelioma，including surgery，chemotherapy and radiation．Like all forms of cancer，detecting the disease at the earliest stage possible greatly increases the patient's chances for survival．If you have worked in an industry such as construction or suspect that you may have been exposed to asbestos，be alert for symptoms and contact your doctor immediately．
What legal courses of action can be taken？
Anyone suffering from Mesothelioma is entitled to compensation from asbestos manufacturers．Additionally，if you are the spouse or child of someone who has died from Mesothelioma，you are entitled to file a claim and seek compensation．
29．The following are the symptoms of Mesothelioma EXCEPTA．
A．frequent headache
B．lower back pain
C．chest pain

C．Frequently Asked Questions About Mesothelioma
D．Mesothelioma in on the rise
32．If you work in an industry exposed to asbestos，you shouldD．

7．Let children learn to judge their own work．A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time：if corrected too much，he will stop talking．He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use．Bit by bit，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．In the same way，children learn to do all the other things：they learn to do without being taught to walk，run，climb，whistle，ride a bicycle，compare their own performances with those of more skilled people，and slowly make the needed changes．
But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself．We do it all for him．We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him，or correct it unless he was made to．Let him work out，with the help of other children if he wants it，what this word says，what the answer is to that problem，whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not．
If it is a matter of right answer，as it may be in mathematics or science，give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers．Why should we teachers waste time on such routine （常规） work？Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer．Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn，how to measure their own understanding，and how to know what they know or do not know．
24．According to the passage，the best way for children to learn things is byD．
A．listening to skilled people's advice

2．Those accustomed to browsing through thousands of books in large bookstores may find Japan's Morioka Shoten a little strange．That's because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza，Tokyo sells only a single book at a time．
Opened in May 2015，Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka．He began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo's Kanda district before branching out to open his own store．It was here while organizing book reading and signing that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind．Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling multiple copies of just one single book．In November 2014，he partnered with Masamichi Toyama to establish a unique bookstore with the philosophy of"A Single Room with a Single Book"．
The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests．Recent choices include The True Deceiver，an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson，Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales，and a collection of Karl Blossfeldt's photography of plants．Morioka has also selected books written by a famous Japanese author Mimei Ogawa．
To highlight his only offering，Morioka often uses clever tricks．For example，when selling a book about flowers，the storekeeper decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book．He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers．Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book，not just a bookstore．
Risky as the idea might seem，things appear to be going well．The storekeeper says he has sold over 2，100books．Things can get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors form other countries．
12．What inspired Morioka to open such a bookstore？D
A Swedish novel．
B．His present partner．
C．A bookstore clerk．
D．His working experience．
13．Why is Morioka Shoten unique？D
A．It is popular with foreigners．
B．It sells books of different topics．
C．It is decorated with colorful flowers．
D．It sells various copies of a book in a week．
14．Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks？D
A．To introduce his bookstore．
B．To advocate his philosophy．
C．To make books better understood．
D．To help readers make more friends．
15．What's the author's opinion about the bookstore's future？B
A．Risky．B．Promising．C．Unpredictable．D．Hopeless．

3．Scientists added a record of 715more planets to the list known to the world beyond the solar system，astronomers said on Wednesday，in February 2014．The additions include four planets about 0.5-2times as big as Earth that are the right distance from their parent stars for liquid surface water，which is believed to be fit for life．
The discoveries were made with the NASA's planet-hunting Kepler space telescope．The telescope，launched in 2009，spent four productive years observing 160，000target stars for signs of planets passing by，within the telescope's sight．
The numbers of planets announced at a NASA press conference on Wednesday increased Kepler's confirmed planets from 246to 961．Combined with other telescopes'results，the total number of planets beyond the solar system now is nearly 1，700．"We almost doubled，just today，the number of planets known to humans，"astronomer Douglas Hudgins，head of planet exploration at NASA Headquarters in Washington，told reporters on a conference call．
Many planets'discovery is due to a new technique that analyzes potential planets in batches rather than one at a time．The method was developed after scientists realized that most planets，like those in the solar system，have similar worlds orbiting a common parent star．
The newly found planets strengthen the evidence that small planets，two to three times the size of Earth，are common throughout the galaxy（银河系）．
"Generally，wherever （Kepler） can see them，it finds them，"said astronomer Sara Seager，with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．"That's why we have confidence that there will be planets like Earth in outer space．"
Like the solar system，which has eight planets plus Pluto and other so-called"dwarf planets，"the newly found planets belong to families．But unlike the solar system's planets，which are about 150times farther from the sun than Earth．Most of the planets fly nearer to their parent stars than Venus（金星） orbits the sun，a distance of about 67million miles （108million km．）
NASA and other space agencies are designing new telescopes to discover planets in so-called"habitable zones"around their parent stars where temperatures would be suitable for liquid surface water．Two papers on the new Kepler research will appear in an upcoming issue of‘The Astrophysical Journal'．

62．The underlined word‘batches'in the fourth paragraph probably meansC here．
A．continentB．programC．groupD．association
63．Through Kepler，Scientists have found more planetsD throughout the galaxy．
A．the same size as EarthB．about 0.5-2times as big as Earth
C．twice the size of EarthD．two to three times the sizeof Earth
64．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．All the planets known to the world are believed to be fit for life．
B．There may be liquid surface water on some of the newly found planets．
C．Kepler space telescope spent four years observing 160，000target planets．
D．The orbits of the newly found planets are just like those of the solar system
65．Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage？A
A．US space telescope discovers more planets
B．Kepler observes many new target stars
C．Scientists believe 715planets fit for life
D．NASA finds liquid surface water on the planets．

20．For the last couple of weeks，I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me．My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project，I was confused to find that instead，I was feeling rather depressed．I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up．I had a relaxing bath，cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie，but to no avail．It was only when I turned to meditation for a solution that the answer came to me：turn to nature!
The very next day，I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve，even though it was pouring with rain．Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again．To be honest，I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing，"I'm singing in the rain"，a song I used to sing when I was a child．I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits，which only leads to depression and stress．
Interestingly，it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels，but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city center．
If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors，relax completely，remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play．

33．What can we learn from the passage？B
A．The author gave up his work．
B．The author had completed his work．
C．The author had some difficulties in his work．
D．The author was a young girl．
34．In the author's opinion，A．
A．it's good for adults to wake up their inner children when they are in low sprit
B．depression is usually caused by hard work
C．walking in a busy city center harms people's health
D．a bath can make people relaxed
35．The last paragraph mainly serves as a（n）C．
A．explanation B．introduction
C．suggestion D．reminder．
