B
A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer, actually increases the risk.
Research from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma (黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.
Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence (发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.
But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.
The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer---are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.
The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.
60．The underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means _________.
A．evidences B．facts C．faults D．failures
61．People with fair skin and freckles ________.
A．seldom use sunscreen B．are more in danger of skin cancer
C．can be free from the harm of the sun D．often expose themselves to the sun
62．We can learn from the passage that _________.
A．sunscreen users get skin cancer more often
B．the volunteers have proved the effect of the sunscreen
C．the new study has based on the experiences of volunteers
D．the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America
63．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer B．Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
C．Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen D．Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles

Taravura is as beautiful as it sounds. It is everything a Pacific city should be. You might have imagined a seafront lined with palm trees, sea-washed beaches as white as the waves, a busy port trading in all the products of the South Seas; you might have dreamed about houses made of dried grass standing among tall trees, brightly painted wooden churches, and open-air markets full of happy, friendly people, dressed as colorfully as the flowers and the fruits they sell. If you have ever thought that you might find all these things in one place, you were thinking of Taravura.
Taravura is all things to all men. It is a capital city, with international hotels that will give you the warmest welcome you have ever received; with streets of buildings old and new, and of stores big and small; with shops full of bargains, and parks and gardens full of things to see and do. Government House and the President's Palace are there.
The international airport has regular and direct flghts to and from cities all over South-East Asia, Australia and the South Pacific. Yet Taravura does not feel big: few of its buildings are higher than the trees; none of its streets is so full of traffic that it is difficult to cross, even at the busiest times of the day; and from all parts of the city you can see either Mount Bari and its brothers, the Endi Mountains, to the north, or the sky-blue sea to the south. Nowhere in Taravura are you very far from nature.
But do not be deceived into thinking that because Taravura is small among capital cities, you will have done everything worth doing within a day. Taravura is a mine of golden opportunities. St. Cecilia's Cathedral, for example, contains many pieces of local art-work; and Komati Museum has a collection of paintings by South Pacific artists that is without equal in the world. For those who enjoy watching sports and games, you can be sure that somewhere in the city there is a national or an international team playing football, cricket or basketball; and for those who would rather play than watch, Taravura offers plenty of opportunities to try your hand at any sport.
Until you have been to Taravura, you have not visited the city of your dreams
truly a heaven on earth.

[ ]
A．there is nothing that you will not find there
B．everyone will find something there to suit him
C．there are as many things to do as there are men

2．Taravura “does not feel big” in spite of the fact that ________.
[ ]
A．it is a capital city with an airport and international hotels
B．its streets are full of traffic at all times of the day
C．few of its buildings are higher than the trees
D．its buildings are old and new, its stores big and small
3．Nowhere in Taravura are you very far from nature in that
[ ]
A．the open-air markets are full of flowers and fruit
B．the houses are made of grass and the churches of wood
C．there are mountains on one side and sea on the other
D．there are parks and gardens full of things to see and do
