[单项选择] Vending
Vending is such an up-to-date concept, in providing products where and when customers want them, that it is hard to believe that it made its first appearance in Egyptian Temples back in 215 B. C.
Vending has benefited from that long history and is now poised to meet the needs of the 21st century consumer.
Current day pressures mean that we are all time-starved and the ready availability of a drink and a snack at the right temperature just where we want. It is the convenient luxury that helps to keep stress at bay and provides a few more minutes at the desk or in the gym.
At work, those extra minutes spent making tea or coffee by hand really add up. Research conducted by the NOP ( National Opinion Poll) for the Association showed that the average time spent on this by employees over and above formal lunch and tea breaks is 45 minutes per day. That equates to a firm employing 50 people losing up to 37 man everyday, a real h

[单项选择] The Attitude For Computers
As Dr. Samuel Johnson said in a different era about ladies preaching, the surprising thing about computers is not that they think less well than a man, but that they think at all. The early electronic computer did not have much going for it except a marvelous memory and some good math skills. But today the best models can be wired up to learn by experience, follow an argument, ask proper questions and write poetry and music. They can also carry on somewhat puzzling conversations.
Computers imitate life. As computers get more complete, the imitation gets better. Finally, the line between the original and the copy becomes unclear. In another 15 years or so, we will see the computer as a new form of life.
The opinion seems ridiculous because, for one thing, computers lack the drives and emotions of living creatures. But drives can be programmed into the computer’’s brain just as nature programmed them into our human brains

[单项选择]Body Cells
People are the most complex of all organisms._________(46). The specialized cells of the body depend upon each other for such things as nourishment and the removal of the waste matter._________(47). Or if the excreting cells did not take away poisonous waste, the cells of the body would be poisoned and die.
Under a microscope, a cell looks like a bit of clear jelly with a thin wall round it._________(48 ). In every cell there is a part like a little ball. This is the nucleus, which organizes the work of the cell. Though cells were discovered two and a half centuries ago, it is only in the last hundred years that knowledge of the work of the nucleus has developed._________ (49).
All cells reproduce their own kind and grow. In performing their work, cells become tired, worn-out and die. If the tissue of the organ is to maintain its health, new cells are required to replace the old ones. The healthy cells accomplish this by splitting their bodies so that one cell

[单项选择]Health Education
1. Health education is the part of health care that is concerned with promoting healthy behavior. A person’’s behavior may be the main cause of a health problem, but it can also be the main solution. This is true for the teenager who smokes, the mother with the poorly nourished (营养) child, and the butcher (屠夫,卖肉的人) who gets a cut on his finger. By changing their behavior these individuals can solve and prevent many of their own problems.
2. Health education does not replace other health services, but it is needed to promote the proper use of these services. One example of this is immunization (免疫) : scientists have made many vaccines (疫苗) to prevent diseases, but this achievement is of no value unless people go to receive the immunization.
3. Health education encourages behavior that promotes health, prevents illness, cures disease, and contributes to recovery. The needs and interests of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities are at the

[单项选择] On Antibodies
Substances foreign to the body, such as disease-causing bacteria and viruses and other infectious agents, are recognized by the body s immune system as invaders. Our natural defenses against these infectious agents are antibodies, proteins that seek out the antigens (抗原) and help destroy them.
Antibodies have two very useful characteristics. First, they are extremely specific; that is, each antibody binds to and attacks one particular antigen. Second, some antibodies, once activated by the occurrence of a disease, continue to confer resistance against that disease. Classic example are the antibodies to the childhood diseases of chickenpox(水痘) and measles.
The second characteristic of antibodies makes it possible to develop vaccines. A vaccine (痘苗) is a preparation of killed or weakened bacteria or viruses that, when introduced into the body, stimulates the production of antibodies against the antigens it contains.
It is
A. disease-causing bacteria
B. disease-causing viruses
C. antigens
D. protein

[单项选择] Language
When most of us think about language, we think first about words. Thus, the hardest part of learning a foreign language may seem to be memorizing 【51】 vocabulary; when we observe a child first acquiring speech, we talk of his progress 【52】 a matter of learning new words. We are also 【53】 to feel that the adult speaker with the largest vocabulary has the best 【54】 of English. To think 【55】 a language as just a stock of words is 【56】 , quite wrong. Words alone do not 【57】 a language; a grammar is 【58】 to combine them in some intelligible way. Moreover, words are relatively easy to learn, and indeed all of us go 【59】 learning them all our 【60】 . They are also the 【61】 stable part of language. Words come into 【62】 , change their pronunciations and meanings, and disappear completely all with comparative ease. Yet it is true that the 【63】 is focus of language. It is in words 【64】 sounds and meanings interlock to allow us to 【65】 with one anothe
A. make
B. produce
C. create

[单项选择] Old Mothers’ Children Have Higher Diabetes (糖尿病) Risk
Children of older mothers run a higher risk of developing insulin-dependent (胰岛素依赖型的) diabetes, the British Medical Journal said. "A strong association was found between increasing maternal (母亲的) age at delivery and risk of (insulin-dependent) diabetes in the child. Risk was highest in firstborn children and decreased progressively with higher birth order," Professor Edwin Gale and colleagues at Southmead Hospital in Bristol said. Diabetes is a serious, incurable, lifelong disease characterized (以......作为特性) by all inability to control the amount of sugar in the blood. Insulin-dependent diabetes, which mainly affects children, is treated by administering the hormone insulin. Gale looked into 1,375 families in the Oxford area where one or more children had diabetes and found that the risk of a child developing insulin-dependent diabetes increased by 25 percent for each five-year band of the mothers age.
