4.WASHINGTON,Nov.25 (Xinhua)--Air pollution is a major risk factor for heart disease,and women with diabetes (糖尿。 may be more likely to be influenced by its effects than others,a long-term U.S.study said Wednesday.
The study,published in the Journal of the American Heart Association,found that women with diabetes who are exposed (暴露) to air pollution for long periods may have a much higher risk for heart disease.
"We didn't expect diabetes to be the strongest factor in determining susceptibility (敏感性),"said the lead author Jaime Hart,an epidemiologist at the Boston-based Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health.
"We looked at age,family history of heart disease,weight,smoking status and areas of the country but diabetes was the most consistent across diseases and across different size fractions of particulate matter (PM),"Hart said.
The research team explored data from more than 100,000participants in a long-term study called the Nurses'Health Study,looking at rates of heart disease,specifically rates of stroke.
They assessed long-term exposure to three different sizes of particulate matter air pollution from 1989to 2006:Fine particulate pollutant smaller than 2.5thousandths of a millimeter in diameter (PM2.5),PM10and PM2.5-10.PM10includes both PM2.5and PM2.5-10.
While all women had small increases in risk of heart events with more air pollution exposure,the increased risk was statistically significant for women with diabetes.
According to the team,an increase of 10micrograms per cubic meter of air pollution in PM2.5,PM2.5-10and PM 10will raise a woman's risk of heart disease by 44percent,17percent and 19percent,separately,if she had type 2diabetes.
The team found that these effects were greater among women 70and older and obese women.
Since the study participants were mostly white women of middle-and upper-socioeconomic status,further research will be needed to determine if these patterns are also seen in men and in racially and socioeconomically diverse populations,they added.

61.According to the study,women with diabetes may be more likely to be affected byB.
A.a(chǎn) risk factor      B.a(chǎn)ir pollution      C.heart disease      D.a(chǎn)reas
62.Which of the following was not involved in the study?C
A.Age.B.Weight.C.Height.D.Smoking status.
63.What can we learn from the passage?B
A.It is not necessary to do further research on men.
B.Air pollution puts women with diabetes at higher heart risk.
C.Most participants were women who were over 70years old.
D.The increase of PM per cubic meter has no effect on women's health.
64.In a newspaper,this passage is most probably in the part ofC.
A.Travel       B.Technology       C.Health       D.Fashion.

Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least Once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2.3 and 4of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowed area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.

Meal Plans Available

·Continental Breakfast

·Breakfast and Dinner

·Breakfast, Packed Dinner

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit,you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long -stay student . However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.

"It's hard for parents to bring up their children,(63)but many students just ignore it,"said Liu Kang,the school's director."They should (64)be taught (teach) to be grateful to their parents,who have given them life but ask for nothing in return."
Li Ming is one of the students.His egg didn't break during the month,but he felt(65)exhausted(exhaust)."I now realize that my parents have had great difficulty(66)bringing (bring) me up.I'll do all I can to make their life easier and more (67)comfortable (comfort) when I grow up,"promised the 13-year-old boy.(68)Unluckily(luck),about 450students broke their eggs.Yan Yueming broke his egg after just five days,which made him frustrated.He said,"I can't imagine (69)how sad my parents would be if there was something wrong with me,their‘egg'!"It is time I(70)did/should do(do) something in return for their love."said Yan.

16.Whether you're taking a short business flight or a dream vacation around the world,here are some smart and simple green travel tips to make any trip a little easier.
    1.Power Down
    If your green travels leave behind an empty house,power down as many appliances (電器) as possible.Don't forget to unplug (拔開) electronics like your TV,computer and others that use power even when they're turned off.

    On your way to the airport or to your hotel,and all around your traveling city,consider using trains or buses.By stepping out of a car and into the real world,you'll not only save more energy,but also meet more people,see more sights and have more fun.
    3.Go Paperless

    5.Buy Local
    Shopping?Try to buy items that are small and light,and ask if they're locally made.With a little effort,you might even be able to find something that supports local charities (慈善機(jī)構(gòu)) or schools.
    6.Pack Smart
    Airlines are charging for extra luggage.Travel light,pack only the things you know you'll need,and save money and energy.One smart thing to pack but often left behind is a reusable water bottle.

61.When we are going for a trip,what should we do?B
A.Turn off the lights but keep the water tap open at home.
B.Unplug the TV,computer and other electric appliances.
C.Take as many things as we can manage for later use.

B.We should stay in a wild hotel.
C.We should turn down the air-conditioner when you're not in the hotel.

C.support some of the local charities or schools
D.a(chǎn)dd more weight to the travelers'baggage

14.The city of Los Angeles is finally getting serious about retrofitting(翻修) the soft wood frame apartment buildings and the weak concrete ones that are at risk of collapsing during a substantial earthquake.A concrete building without adequate steel reinforcement can crumble to the ground,as some did in the 1971Sylmar earthquake,killing dozens.
The first step is to take a list of the 29,000apartment buildings that were built before 1978,when the building code was changed to require stronger wood frame and concrete buildings.The second step will be the analysis of those buildings by structural experts to see if they should be  retrofitted,which needs essential professionalism.Then comes the stage to decide who pays for the work that needs to be done,Landlords?Renters?Taxpayers?The step posed the biggest obstacle to all parties involved.
Actually Under L.A.'s rent control law,property owners can pass on 100% of the cost of‘essential'retrofitting work to renters.Some favor this pass-through move,arguing that many mom-and-pop landlords of small buildings are as cash-strapped as one can imagine,if not more so.
However,the reality is that,like many landlords,the insolvency of most renters will finally make the retrofitting an empty talk.Besides,the cost of retrofitting should not fall on any one group as this work is done to prevent people from being killed in earthquakes.Protecting buildings serves the interests of renters,property owners and the city as a whole,which qualifies it as a matter of public safety issue so that L.A.government needs to find ways to shoulder some burden of the cost.
It has been decided by the city government that the government will get involved,trying to find ways to reduce costs for landlords for the retrofitting projects,and the government is establishing a law to create a tax reduction for retrofitting for landlords.It's not clear at this point how much tax the state could afford to give up,or how much tax cut owners can get.Some even say that the actual financial assistance landlords can get is far less than is expected.However,what it's known definitely now is that Los Angeles must not allow retrofitting to be put off although the money issue poses a big problem.The bottom line is the human life rather than money.

74.According to the passage,which issue is the most essential in deciding the future of the city's retrofitting project?D
A.Having all the parties involved aware of the importance of retrofitting.
B.Making a list of all the buildings that were built before a certain date.
C.Deciding professionally on whether the listed buildings need retrofitting.
D.Working out adequate ways to provide financial support for retrofitting.
75.According to the passage,the underlined word insolvencyis closest in meaning toA.
A.not having enough money to pay debts
B.poor relationship with landlords
C.unwillingness to participate
D.unfair treatment received
76.Which of the following is implied about the retrofitting project?C
