1．As one of the world's oldest holidays，Halloween is still celebrated today in several countries around the globe，but it is in North America and Canada that it maintains its highest level of popularity．Every year，65% of Americans decorate their homes and offices for Halloween．Halloween is the holiday when the most candy is sold and is second only to Christians in terms of total sales．
Austria

2．For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets．Most of these searches have been done over the radio．The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us．Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space，on the chance that someone may be receptive （善于接受的） to such messages．
Scientists are using powerful radio telescope to listen to signals from about 1，000 stars，all within 100 light years of earth．In addition，they will scan （掃視） the entire sky to"listen"for radio messages from more distant stars．Using a computer，they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time．Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise．
Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy （銀河星系），scientists find that five percent are like our sun．Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth．Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of life．Based on the inhabitable （that can be lived in） planets in our galaxy，most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life．
However，many scientists wonder whether intelligent （有智力的） life exists on other planets．Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible （可理解的） messages shows that no one is out there．They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely．
Other scientists believe that our search hasn't been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy．Although our sun family in only about five billion years old，our galaxy is about 20 billions years old．In that time，some scientists think it is likely that civilizations are much more advanced than ours．Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals；perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us．If we hope to find intelligent life，these scientists believe that we have to keep looking．
（1）According to the passage，how many planets in our galaxy might human beings live？．
A．5 billion
B．10 billion
C．15 billion
D．200 billion
（2）The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about．
A．where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
B．why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
C．how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
D．when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
（3）The underlined word"monitor"in the passage means""．
A．find
B．follow
C．study
D．form
（4）Which of the statements is TRUE based on the information in the passage？．
A．The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy．
B．Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planet．
C．Scientists don't believe that there might be life on other planets．
D．Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planet．組卷：2引用：1難度：0.7 -
3．Drinking more than two alcoholic drinks daily in middle-age may raise your stroke（中風(fēng)） risk more than traditional factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes（糖尿?。?，according to new research in the American Heart Association journal Stroke．
In a study of 11，644 middle-aged Swedish twins who were followed for 43 years，researchers compared the effects of an average of more than two drinks daily （"heavy drinking"） to less than half a drink daily （"light drinking"）．
The study showed that：
?Heavy drinkers had about a 34 percent higher risk of stroke compared to light drinkers．
?Mid-life heavy drinkers （in their 50s and 60s） were likely to have a stroke five years earlier in life irrespective of genetic and early-life factors．
?Heavy drinkers had increased stroke risk in their mid-life compared to well-known risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes．
?At around age 75，blood pressure and diabetes appeared to take over as one of the main influences on having a stroke．
Past studies have shown that alcohol affects stroke risk，but this is the first study to pinpoint differences with age．"We now have a clearer picture about these risk factors----how they change with age and how the influence of drinking alcohol shifts as we get older，"said Pavla Kadlecova，M．Sc．，a statistician at St．Anne's University Hospital's International Clinical Research Center in the Czech Republic．
Researchers analyzed results from the Swedish Twin Registry of same-sex twins who answered questionnaires in 1967-1970．All twins were under age 60 at the start．By 2010，the Registry had provided 43 years of follow-up，including hospital discharge（出院） and cause of death data．
Researchers then sorted（整理） the data based on strokes，high blood pressure，diabetes and other cardiovascular （心血管）incidents．Almost 30 percent of participants had a stroke．They were categorized（將…分類） as light，moderate，heavy or non-drinkers based on the questionnaires．Researchers compared the risk from drinking and health risks like high blood pressure，diabetes and smoking．Among identical twin pairs，siblings（兄弟姐妹） who had a stroke drank more than their siblings who hadn't had a stroke，suggesting that mid-life drinking raises stroke risks regardless of genetics and early lifestyle．
The study is consistent （一致）with the American Heart Association's recommended limit of two drinks a day for men and one for women．That's about 8 ounces of wine for a man and 4 ounces for a woman．
Regular heavy drinking of any kind of alcohol can raise blood pressure and cause heart failure or irregular heartbeats over time，in addition to stroke and other risks．"For mid-aged adults，avoiding more than two drinks a day could be a way to prevent stroke in later productive age，"Kadlecova said．
（1）Who might be the target readers of the passage？．
A．People who have suffered a stroke
B．People who like drinking
C．People who have high blood pressure
D．People who have twin siblings
（2）What do we know about the study in the passage？．
A．It revealed five related results
B．It lasted for a period of over 50 years
C．It involved the age factor in the causes of strokes
D．It included 11，644 Australian twins as participants
（3）The underlined part"irrespective of"in the passage can best be replaced by""．
A．in favor of
B．in terms of
C．instead of
D．regardless of
（4）What does the passage mainly tell us？．
A．People without a stroke can drink more alcohol than those having a stroke in middle age
B．There is a higher possibility that heavy drinkers will have a stroke in middle age
C．Drinking alcohol has been regarded as the most dangerous factor in strokes
D．The amount of alcohol taken by men should be twice than that taken by women．組卷：1引用：1難度：0.7
