    　　For nearly half a century, Mary Lasker, who died last week at 93, was America's leading crusader (社会活动参与者) against cancer. Yet much of the money she used to fight the disease came from a product which is now considered as a cancer cause—the cigarette.

    　　Her fortune first took shape in 1992 when advertising genius Albert Lasker was trying to raise American Tobacco Co. sales.“Get women to smoke”, a friend suggested,“and you'll double your market.”Lakser hired actresses and opera singers to support Lasker Strikes. For women worried about extra pounds, he coined the word,“Reach for a Lucky instead of a Sweet.”Lucky Strike sales increased 312 percent in a year.

    　　By the time he met Mary Woodard in 1939, Lasker was one of America's richest men, thanks to Luckier and ads that brought in orange juice, facial tissue and sanitary napkins.“What do you want most out of life?”he asked her. She replied,“To help to develop the research in cancer, tuberculosis (结核病) and the major diseases.”They got married, and in 1942 she persuaded him to retire and devote his time and money to philanthropy (慈善业), especially medical research, which then had little private funding (利息) and almost not any support from the government.

    　　Albert's 1952 cancer death left Mary with one goal: a cancer cure. She sold off several painting—Matisses, Renoirs and Van Goghs—and gave the money to researchers. For ten years, she managed to persuade to give a high position to the National Institutes of Health. Result: NIT's funding rises quickly from $ 2.4 million in 1954 to nearly $ 11 billion in 1994. Richard Nixon, moved and encouraged by Lasker, declared a $ 100 million“War on cancer”and promised a cancer vaccine (疫苗) by 1976. That proved a different goal, but research has scored advances against several cancers. And Mary Lasker's advice remains a laboratory watchword:“If there are no leads, let us make them.”

    1．The words“Reach for a Lucky instead of a Sweet”were coined by Albert Lasker for the purpose of ________.

    [　　]

    A．tempting(劝诱)women to smoke so as to lose weight

    B．persuading women not to eat sweets

    C．telling women to smoke Lucky Strikes only

    D．advertising Lucky Strikes

    2．Albert gained his fortune by ________.

    [　　]

    A．selling orange juice

    B．producing facial tissue and napkins

    C．running tobacco businesses

    D．none of the above

    3．The money Mary used to fight cancer was from ________.

    [　　]

    A．The Lucky Strikes Co.

    B．the government

    C．her husband

    D．her parents

    4．Mary Lasker died ________.

    [　　]

    A．of cancer

    B．from poverty

    C．of T. B.

    D．not mentioned in the passage

    The hospital burn unit is a popular place on the day after Thanksgiving. I found that out three years ago, when my 18-month-old daughter touched a radiator pipe while playing around our friends' farmhouse. Instead of feasting on leftover stuffing, I rushed my child as she screamed to hospital. Instead of getting a jump on my Christmas shopping, I learned how to take care of second-degree burns.     

    Our story had a happy ending. With weeks of twice-daily treatments at Mommy and Papa's kitchen-table burn clinic, my daughter's hands healed. But other children we saw at the outpatient burn clinic weren't so lucky. I saw hands _____________________, a mouth that would never smile straight, a scalp that would never grow hair. All the parents had stories of accidents as easy as ours: a cup of tea knocked from a side table, a tumble (摔倒) into a space heater. "Heaters and soup," one veteran nurse told me at the hospital. "That's all it is. Heaters and soup."

    Most of the injuries were to hands and wrists, and most came from contact with hot liquids or from touching hot objects. Not only do small children not realize the danger posed by hot objects; their skin is much thinner than that of adults. They burn more quickly, and the burns tend to be deeper and more severe.     

    Traditional fire safety education focused on preventing fires. The number of children injured by playing with fire has declined substantially when the Consumer Product Safety Commission required that cigarette lighters be child-resistant. "We know people know about smoke alarms," says Chrissy, program manager for Safe Kids USA, a nonprofit that works to reduce childhood injuries. Now, fire safety experts hope that public education efforts will turn to burns that can be just as terrible as injuries caused by flame.

    1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one? People used to be warned of the fire burns.

                                                                             

    2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence．(within 10 words)

                                                                             

    3. What is the best title for this passage? (within 10 words)    

                                                                             

    4. For what purpose does the author mention “a cup of tea” or “a tumble into a space heater” in Paragraph 2?(within 10 words)    

                                                                             

    5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese．

    When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones-the kind of modern, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines．But the US has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be incredibly         to tear them all down and         them with greener versions．

    An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses．And it would take an average of 65 years for the         carbon emissions (排放) from a(an) __     _ energy-efficient (节能) home to make up for the         lost by destroying an old one．

    So in the broadest sense, the greenest home is the one that has already been built．But at the same time,          half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering our          , offices and other buildings．"You can't deal with climate         without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust．

    With some exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the         energy-efficient．Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that         over time and let in more outside        .

          ,there are a vast number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from        ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home．And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help         property owners from rising power        .

    1.A． terrible  B．wasteful      C．wonderful   D．useful

    2.A．put  B．build   C．replace        D．take

    3.A．reduced  B．increased    C．used   D．destroyed

    4.A．old   B．fashionable C．new    D．beautiful

    5.A．magazines         B．trees   C．materials     D．resources

    6.A．nearly      B．hardly C．rarely D．mostly

    8.A．improvement   B．appearance         C．stability        D．change

    9.A．most         B．really  C．very    D．least
