Researchers have found ore evidence that suggests a relationship between races and rates(率) of lung cancer aong sokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are ore likely to develop lung cancer fro soking. It copared their risk to whites, Japanese-Aericans and Latinos.
Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of edicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied ore than 180,000 people. They included present and forer sokers and people who never soked. Alost 2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer.
Researchers say genetics(遗传学) ight help explain the racial and ethnic（种族的） differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to soke. But environental influences, including the way people soke, could also ake a difference.
African-Aericans and Latinos in the study are reported soking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest sokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette soke ore deeply than white sokers. This could fill their lungs with ore of the cheicals in tobacco that cause cancer.
Scientists know that soe diseases effect different groups differently. And soe drug copanies have begun to develop racially targeted(针对) edicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Adinistration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The nae is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the proise of personalized edicine."
61．Which of the following orders is fro higher to lower risk of having lung cancer?

C．the depth of cigarette soke into their lungs
D．the physical strength to react to cigarette soke
63．People in the new study are ade up of .
A．heavy sokers in AericaB．the black and white people
C．the Asians and HawaiiansD．sokers and non-sokers
64．The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to .
A．explain different races react to soe diseases differently
B．tell the readers that racial differences exist in sokers
C．show a big step people have taken in the edicine area
D．support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers
65．Which of the following stateents is TRUE according to the author?

"The world's oceans are slowly getting ore acidic．”say scientists．The researchers fro California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atosphere.
The lowering of the waters’pH value is not great at the oent but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and ichael Wickett, fro the Lawrence Liverore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.
Increasing use of oil fuels eans ore carbon dioxide is going into the air, and ost of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to for carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already becoe slightly ore acidic over the last century.
These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by cobining what we know about the history of the oceans with coputer odels of cliate change．"This level of acidity will get uch ore extree in the future if we continue releasing COZ into the atosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we predict the aount of future acidity will exceed（超过）anything we have seen over the last several hundred illion years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid（小1j-%+.'_) ipacts．”
However, it is not absolutely clear what that eans for ocean life．ost organiss live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life fors ay be ore sensitive to pH changes．Coral reefs and other organiss whose shells contain calciu carbonate（小行星) ay be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the tea predict. They could find it uch ore difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.
In recent years soe people have suggested storing carbon dioxide fro power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global waring．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, ost experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing一because in releasing CO2 into the atosphere we war the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the aount of greenhouse waring.”
66 ．The ocean is becoing ore acidic due to＿．
A，the lower water pH value B．the waring atosphere
C ．the higher level of COZ in the air D．the increasing use of oil fuels
67． According to Dr Caldeira,＿．
A ．ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing
B ．ore oil fuels will be used in the near future
C ．scientists ay predict cliate changes with coputer odels
D ．the future situation of the aount of acidity is extreely serious
68．If the water's acidity level keeps rising,＿．
A ．ocean life whose structures contain calciu carbonate ay be affected
B ．the waters’pH value will becoe higher and higher
C ．organiss living near the surface are ore sensitive to pH changes
D ．soe disastrous events will occur ore often than before
69．ost experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduce＿．
A ．the COZ absorbed by the ocean
B ．the aount of greenhouse waring
C ．the acidity of the ocean
D ．the gradul release Of CO2
70．The purpose of this passage is to＿．
A ．show people the findings of a research tea
B ．infor people of how acid the ocean is now
C ．introduce Dr Caldeira and his tea's research
D ．warn people of the higher level of COZ

Good afternoon, everyone,
Hundreds of illions of students fro priary, iddle schools and universities all over China joined in a national student sports progra. Eleven illion students in Shandong took an active part in this progra.
The inistry of Education calls on students to exercise for an hour every day, in the hope that they will have good health to work fifty years and enjoy the whole life.
Personally, I think it a good idea for us senior students to have daily exercise. Although we take an hour a day for exercise, it is well worth it. Taking exercise helps us build up our body and keep a clear ind. Therefore we can work ore efficiently.
Thank you!
