CIreland. DFrance.B In 1977, a University of Oxford statistician named Richard Peto poin

17、ted out a simple yet puzzling biological fact: we humans should have a lot more cancer than mice, but we dont.Dr. Petos argument was simple. Every time a cell divides, theres a small chance it will gain a mutation(突变) that speeds up its growth. Cells that accumulate (聚集) several of these mutations m

18、ay become cancerous. The bigger an animal is, the more cells it has, and the longer an animal lives, the more times its cells divide. We humans undergo (经历) about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as miceand thus should be far more likely to get cancer.A number of scientists have assumed that larg

19、e, long-lived animals must have evolved extra cancer-fighting weapons. Otherwise, these species would die out.Dr. Joshua DSchiffman, an oncologist (肿瘤学家）at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, reviewed zoo records on the deaths of 644 elephants and found that less than 5 percent died of cancer. By contras

20、t, 11 percent to 25 percent of humans die of cancer.To understand the elephants defenses, the scientists investigated a gene that is vital to preventing cancer called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNA they contain. Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that e

21、lephants have evolved new copies of the p53 gene. While humans have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants.To see whether these extra copies of p53 made a difference in fighting cancer, they ran experiments on elephant cells. They treated elephant cells with dama

22、ging radiation, chemicals and UV light.“In all cases, instead of trying to repair the damage, the elephant cells simply committed suicide” said Dr. Schiffman. He said he thought the way the elephant cells responded was a very effective way to block cancer.Patricia Muller, an oncologist at the MRC To

23、xicology Unit at the University of Leicester, who was not involved in the studies, said the results, though convincing, didnt firmly establish exactly how elephants use p53 to fight cancer. One possibility is that the extra copies dont actually cause cells to commit suicide. Instead, they may act as

24、 decoys (诱饵) for enzymes (酶) that destroy p53 proteins.Dr. Muller said it was especially important to understand precisely how elephants fight cancer before trying to copy their strategies with drugs for humans.24What does the 2nd paragraph want to tell us?AHuman should be more likely to develop can

25、cer than mice.BCell division can increase the speed of growth of mutations.CThe bigger an animal is, the smaller chance of getting cancer it has.DDr. Petos argument was not simple.25According to the passage, p53 is _.Aa protein to prevent cancer Ba gene to defend against cancerCa protein to destroy

26、damaged cells Da gene to change cells26What does Dr. Schiffman say about the extra copies of p53 fighting cancer?AThey cause the cells to repair the genes.BThey stop cells from dividing further.CThey act as decoys for enzymes that destroy p53 proteins.DThey cause the cells to commit suicide.27Which

27、of the following is TRUE?ADr. Schiffman pointed out that we humans dont have more cancer than mice.BThe cancer death rate of humans is five percent higher than that of elephants.CThe scientists found there are 20 pairs of p53 genes in elephants.DDr. Muller also took part in the studies.C Businesses

28、are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers, desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago,

29、while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is i

30、mportant to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a companys environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive (主管) of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes: “I understa

31、nd this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is tickingwe dont have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which compani
