16、ced just over 30 years ago. Its too soon to tell just how harmful cell phones are. In February 2011, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association recorded changes in brain glucose metabolism (葡萄糖代谢) during cell phone use. The study became the first to prove that cell phone us
17、e changes brain activity by monitoring 47 healthy volunteers seated and on the phone for 50 minutes. The volunteers brains were monitored by special scanners to measure glucose metabolism. Then in May 2011, the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) added radia
18、tion from cell phones to its list of substances that possibly cause cancer in humans. The IARCs research found that most cell phone use did not lead to more risk of glioma, a dangerous type of brain cancer, or meningioma, a more common, but typically not 5 5 harmful cancer. However, the study did fi
19、nd enough evidence that using cell phones for long periods of time on the same side of the head could mean an increased risk of glioma. In a contrasting report released in July 2011, a British Institute of Cancer Research study found little evidence of cancer risk in 10 to 15 years of use. The study
20、 showed that there have been no increases in brain tumors (肿瘤) in several countries over the last 30 years since cell phones were introduced or even in the last 20 years since their use became more widespread. With no long-term research available yet, limiting exposure to cell phone radiation by tex
21、ting more and talking less is recommended. Stay off the phone when you have a weak signal, as it will need more radiation to contact the tower. Phone use for children should also be limited because their brains absorb twice as much cell phone radiation. 24. We cant be sure whether cell phones cause

C Like you and your pet dog, plants are living things: they eat, drink, and grow. Unlike you and your dog，they cant run away, use fists or teeth, or hide under the co
26、vers when they re threatened. But they can fight back. Why would a plant need to fight back? To avoid being eaten, of course! Plants have several ways of protecting themselves. A plant can grow in a hidden or hard-to-get-to place. Think of plants youve seen growing on steep, rocky cliffs(悬崖). Or, a
27、plant could make only some parts of itself attractive to hungry insects and animals. For instance, if a plant produced really tasty leaves, herbivores ( creatures that eat only plants) might eat the leaves instead of the seeds， which the plant needs for making more plants. Some plants have sharp or
28、slippery(滑的) parts that discourage insects and other animals from getting too close, like the thorns(刺) on a rosebush. But the most interesting way that plants fight back is by using chemicals. Plants take minerals from the soil and combine them into chemicals that do a lot of work. For example, pla
29、nts produce chlorophyll(叶绿素)，which helps convert sunshine and water into the sugars that plants eat. They also produce chemicals to help protect themselves. One kind of tobacco plants releases a chemical into the air whenever small bugs begin to eat it. The chemical signals large bugs, saying “Dinne
30、rs ready! The big bugs come to eat the little ones and save the plant. Most plants use chemicals in a more direct way against their enemies. In other words, plants make poison. 28.

33、ns D.Plant information D Losing a baby tooth can be fun for a kid. You can put it under your pillow and look forward to finding some money there in the morning. And then you can watch your new permanent(永恒 的) tooth grow in its place. But if a permanent tooth falls out, thats a problem. There isnt an
34、other one under the gum(齿龈)that can replace it. Unfortunately, this happens to some older people. And if permanent teeth fall out or need to be pulled, an older person might need dentures. Dentures, known as false teeth, are a set of replacement teeth for any teeth that are missing. There are partia
35、l dentures, which take the place of only a few teeth and prevent the others from changing position. If all the teeth are gone, the person would need complete dentures, which replace every tooth in the mouth. Dentures can cause pains at first and take little time to get adjusted to. They also need sp
36、ecial care. They should be brushed daily with a special denture brush and cleanser and soaked （浸泡） in denture solution when not in the mouth. Dentures are important for the old because, without teeth, its hard to smile, talk, and eat properly. But it can be a little weird if you see someone take out
37、 his or her dentures. It can also be strange to see someone, like a grandparent, without dentures in because he or she wont have any teeth. Try not to make fun of the person because this could cause hurt feelings. People usually lose their permanent teeth due to periodontal disease（牙周炎）, or gum dise
38、ase, which is caused by bacteria that attacks the gums. Diseased gums arent strong and healthy, so teeth can get loose and fall out. Older people often have many cavities(洞)that have been filled over the years, and these fillings can weaken over time, leading to more tooth problems. 8 8 32. If one o

45、view because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you dont try and then you fail, you wont feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard. So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm b

47、 things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating(分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started.
