   Washington(Reuters)-People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher
risk of pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌),an unusual but deadly cancer,researchers reported on Monday.
   People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of  sodas did not have the same risk, the study of  60,000
people in Singapore found.
   Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other poor health
habits,said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota,who led the study.
   "The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin(胰岛素)in the body,which
we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell's growth,"Pereira said in a statement.
   Writing in the journal Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers & Prevention,Pereira and his colleagues said
they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for 14 years.
   Over that time,140 of the volunteers developed  pancreatic cancer. Those who drank two or more
sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got pancreatic
cancer.
   Pereira said he believed the findings would apply elsewhere.
   "Singapore is a wealthy country with excellent healthcare . Favorite pastimes (消遣) are eating and
shopping,so the findings should apply to other Western countries,"he said.
   But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious.
   "Although this study found a risk,the finding was based on a relatively small number of cases and it
remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not,"said Mayne,who serves on the board
of the journal,which is published by the American Association for Cancer Research.
   Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, with 230,000 cases globally. In the United
States,37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die of it.
1.According to the text,who is in control of the health study?
A.Mark Pereira.
B.Scientists from Singapore.
C.Researchers in Yale.
D.Susan Mayne.
2.We can infer from Pereira's words that __________.
A.the healthcare in Singapore should be greatly improved
B.2 soft drinks a day are considered harmful to health
C.87 out of 140 volunteers developed pancreatic cancer
D.sugar might not be the only cause of pancreatic cancer
3.How does Susan seem to feel about the findings of the study?
A.Satisfied.  
B.Doubtful.
C.Worried. 
D.Hopeful.
4.The best title of the text might be __________.
A.The Deadliest Forms of Cancer
B.Drink Fruit Juice Instead of Sodas
C.A Study in University of Minnesota
D.Sugary Soft Drinks Lead to Cancer

  Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Interact forum(论坛)asking what “PK” meant.

  “My family has been watching the ‘Super Girl' singing competition TV program.My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.

  To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term.In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.

  In the case of the “Super Girl” singing competition.“PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.

  Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand.A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand.

  “My ‘GG' came back this summer from college.He told me I've grown up to be a ‘PLMM'.I loved to ‘FB' with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM',” went one composition.

  “GG” means Ge Ge(Chinese pinyin for brother).“PLMM” refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei(beautiful girl).“FB” means Fu Bai(corruption).“KPM” is short for KFC.Pizza Hut and McDonald's.

  Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.

  If you do not even know what a Kong Long(dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female)ora Qing wa(frog, referring to an ugly looking male)is, you will possibly be regarded as a CaiNiao!

(1)

By writing the article,the writer tries to ________

[  ]

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

In this age of ours, I find that almost all of my friends are becoming mere voices.

Not too long ago when friends came, they would fill half the drawing room and their voices would penetrate the four walls and disturb all the neighbors. Now they have all become, step by step, into invisible and untouched beings, whose tiny voices can only be heard by one ear through the telephone, no louder than the mosquitoes(蚊子).

Since this has become a necessary part of modern life, I too have learnt to live with this “ear language”. Many friends have become more distant because they are not very good at this way of communication(交流), others have become closer through ear language, and there are some friends I know by voice only. There is one particular voice friend I got to know through a very curious incident.

One day my telephone rang. When I lifted the receiver- a young lady’s voice informed me that she was phoning in answer to an advertisement for a night club program hostess. Obviously she had got the wrong number. The incident should have ended there and then. Actually, it was a sweet voice, only her poor imitation(模仿)of Hong Kong pronunciation and intonation got on my nerve and especially the “wa!” gave me the goose flesh. I told her that if I were the boss of the club, I wouldn’t give her a second thought because of her poor pronunciation. The young lady at the other end of the phone immediately came up with a surprising suggestion that, of course in her true local accent, she wanted to learn proper standard spoken Chinese speech from me, because she valued every chance very much. To my great surprise, we became “phone” friends. Every day, at the agreed time, she would ring me up and our “lesson” would begin. And she was tested and interviewed by a radio station in the south and got acceptd. She phoned me for the last time to thank me and to say good-bye. We had already formed a very deep “voice” friendship and have left deep unchangeable vocal(听觉的) impressions in each other’s mind. Any sudden appearance of visual images(视觉印象), good or bad, could only be destructive.

56.The underlined word penetrate in the first paragraph means _____.

A.pass quickly by              B.force a way through 

C.hear accidentally       D.make a hole in

57.The passage suggests us that _____.

A.they would be friends forever

B.they would meet in the future

C.they hadn’t had and wouldn’t have any interview

D.the young lady was able to sing sweet songs in standard Chinese

58.We know from the passage that _____.

A.in modern times people get in touch less than before

B.young people enjoys getting together very much

C.people are more ready to help others

D.people can earn a lot of money in the night club

59.Which is wrong according to the passage?

A.The writer taught the young lady without pay.

B.The young lady can’t be a native of Beijing.

C.The writer is not fond of getting in touch with others

D.Neither of the two is ready to see each other.

    Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum asking what "PK" meant.
    "My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked
me what 'PK' means, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.
    To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know that

    In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life
of the other. 
    In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers

    Like this puzzled father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' composition

"FB" means "to corrupt". "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds.
    While some specialists welcome Internet jargon as a new development in language, teachers are worried
that too much use of such language might lead students away from the "right" usages. Parents especially
worry that their children might not do well in language tests because of the use of Internet language. 
    Such as those mixed feelings are, the conciseness and liveliness of Internet language continues to attract
Internet users for making convenient communications.
    If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to ugly-looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog,
referring to ugly-looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
