There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cannot detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver, Similarly, we cannot sense radioactivity without a radio detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hurt anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they re-produce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.46. The author' s purpose in writing this passage is __________.A. to explain what nuclear power isB. to explain what nuclear radiation isC. to warn people of the danger of nuclearD. to list the bad points of nuclear power47. All of the following are the shared qualities of nuclear radiation and common radio waves, except__________.A. they are all around usB. they cannot be touchedC. they cannot be seenD. they cannot be detected by human senses48. The least serious damage nuclear radiation may do on a person is to __________.A. kill a few cells outright, which will be replaced with healthy onesB. damage a fen cells, which will reproduce themselvesC. kill masses of cells in vital organsD. deform some brain cells49. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can __________.A. kill large number of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of the offspringD. all of the above50. We can infer from the passage that __________.A. the danger of nuclear radiation should not be emphasizedB. only nuclear radiation can cause cancerC. some people might have been hurt by nuclear radiation without their realizing itD. nuclear radiation can cause accidentsPassage 3Telephone, television, radio, and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices (设备) , ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster (灾难) , such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided (避免). A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans (新奥尔良) was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty (条约) had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.51. Why does news spread fast?A. Because of a peace agreement.B. Because of the changes of the world.C. Because of new technology.D. Because of modem transportation.52.

She had been the director of a school before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems--mostly problems with communication.Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject; old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called "Over Sixty", which focuses on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people's music and to watch the most popular television shows."It's important to know something about your grandchildren's world," says Mrs. Douglas. "But most of all, keep your mind open. Do not close out other people. Listen to the other people in your family. Keep on talking. And above all else, keep on listening and communicating.
