二、新的题型
17. 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless.
The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may become jobless, then unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always.
Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step parent.
Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused, whether rightly or wrongly, of forceful begging. There are many who disrespect homeless people.
Some cynics (愤世嫉俗的人) declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?
参考答案：
76. attitudes77. poverty78. ill79. care80. disagreement
81. action82. refuse83. police84. disrespect 85. declare

20. Venom (毒液) from a local scorpion (蝎子) in Cuba is being used by Cuban scientists as an effective weapon to fight cancer. The venom, with stopping pain, anti-inflammatory (炎症) and anti-cancer properties, i s the active ingredient in the medicine “Vidatox 30 CH,” which can be used to treat liver, brain, lung and other cancers. The treatment has been successfully used for more than four years in humans after being first tested in biological models. Labiofam, a Cuban laboratory, has breeding (繁殖) centers for both the Red Scorpion and Blue Scorpion. Each month, some 30,000 scorpions in Las Minas town, 270 km east of Havana are made to give the venom. After two years, the scorpions are released back into their natural habitat.
Denyer Sanchez, a biologist from Labiofam, explained that the conditions are adjusted for reproduction, proved by the high number of breeding female scorpions. He said when the offspring (后代) becomes able to live in the environment, we release them because they do not have the necessary size yet to remove their venom, said Sanchez. Sanchez also said that there is still much to research on the exploitation process of scorpions, such as female death rate or the ability to survive of the released scorpions.
Cuban research on the scorpion’s venom began at the end of 1980s in Guantanamo province, the island’s eastern tip, where a group of biologists and doctors became interested in the stories told by the peasants about the venom’s benefits. However, the first discovery was
made by Cuban biologist Misael Bordier. In 2001, Bordier visited Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM) and presented the research progress in a professional journal. Bordier died in 2005, one year before Cuba’s Industrial Property Office gave Labiofam the rights to exploit the patent related to the venom.
28. How are the scorpions dealt with after their venom has been taken for two years?
A. Their bodies are used to make medicines.
B. They are bred in the laboratory for research.
C. They are raised to give birth to the offspring.
D. They are set free into their natural habitat.
29. What can we infer from the passage about the research on scorpions?
A. The UN provided fund for the research team.
B. There is still much to study in detail.
C. The achievements will benefit animals.
D. Many scientists doubt about the result of the research.
30. What can we learn about Bordier in the last paragraph?
A. He was given the rights to exploit the patent.
B. He began his research at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
C. He put forward the research progress in a professional journal.
D. He was a peasant who told the stories about the venom’s benefits.
31. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The various uses of scorpions in Cuba.
B. Cuban biologists’ research on strange diseases.
C. Suitable conditions for Cuban scorpions to breed.
D. Cuban scorpion venom’s effect on fighting cancer.
