A

ABC News anchor (节目主持人) Peter Jennings died on Aug.7, 2005 at home in New York after a brief battle with lung cancer. ABC News anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings’ death, it is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking.

“I want to give a message,” Barbara Walters said. “If you have kids who are smoking, tell them that we lost Peter.”

Lung cancer is the worst killer in America, taking more lives each year than any other cancer, according to the America Cancer Society. About 160,440 Americans die each year of cancer, making up 28 percent of all cancer deaths. More than 87 percent of lung cancers are smoking related.

Dr. Derek Raghavan, director of the Cleveland Clinic’s Taussing Cancer Center, said that once a person stops smoking, he starts getting better. Three to five years after quitting, the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by half.

Warning signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term smoking. The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesn’t clear up, coughing up blood and sharp chest pains.

People with those symptoms should see a doctor. Raghavan said there have been promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer, including uses of radiation and surgery and drugs. “But the fact is that stopping smoking is the most important thing we can do,” Raghavan said. “There is no treatment that even comes close.”

36. Anchor Peter Jennings died of lung cancer which was possibly caused by _____.

A. his bad eating habit B. overmuch work C. long-term smoking D. the old age

37. The first paragraph mentioned Peter Jennings’ death in order to _____.

A. make him the main character of the passage.

B. warn the smokers of the danger of smoking

C. introduce the topic to be talked about

D. make him better-known than before

38. The underlined word “quitting” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to _____.

A. doing more exercise B. giving up smoking

C. getting over lung cancer D. staying in hospital

39. To fight against lung cancer, what matters much to smokers is _____.

A. to receive the treatment of lung cancer

B. to do exercise regularly

C. to see a doctor in time

D. to stop smoking

B

British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes－the upper class，the middle class．and the lower or working class．This is known as the class system and it is important to know something about it if you mean to understand British people and society．Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if they are not very conscious（意识到的）of it．As a result，more people know which class they belong to and are able to tell which class other people come from by the way they speak，the kind of clothes they wear，their interests and hobbies or even the type of food they eat．

Social class is not only about behavior and attitudes．For example，although many upper class people are rich and may own a lot of land，having a lot of money does not necessarily make a person one member of the upper class．It is also important to come from a particular kind of family，have friends who are considered suitable，have been to a certain type of private school and speak with the right kind of accent．There are people who are poor but who do not think of themselves as working class because their family background，education，political opinions，etc．are basically different from those of most working－class people．Many people do not like the class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do not sometimes form opinions in this way．

40．The idea of the class system in Britain __________．

A．exists only in the mind of foreigners

B．is deeply rooted in the British people

C．is now under attack

D．is regarded as a long custom

41．If an Englishman has a lot of money，__________．

A．he belongs to the middle class

B．he must be a member of the upper class

C．he is not likely to be from the upper class

D．he may buy an upper class title with money

42．What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?

A．Many rich people do not belong to the upper class．

B．Toda
