22、From VOA learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report.

Next time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee, you might want to let it cool down a bit before drinking. Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help you avoid some kinds of cancer.

In fact, the United Nations' cancer research agency decided to list hot drinks with lead, gasoline and exhaust fumes as  “possibly carcinogenic.” In other words, each one could cause cancer.

Researchers at IARC(The International Agency for Research on Cancer) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65 degrees Celsius, when swallowed, can cause cancer of the esophagus(食管).

In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks. However, researchers said “this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages at very high temperatures.”

In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60 degrees Celsius. And they often add milk which lowers the temperature considerably.

The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers.

In 1991, the World Health Organization listed coffee as “possibly carcinogenic.” WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink itself.

Christopher Wild is the director of the IARC. When he spoke with the AFP news agency, he said the results “suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible.”

But how common is esophageal cancer? Worldwide, it is the eighth most common cancer. Cancer of the esophagus killed about 400,000 people in 2012.

【1】The passage is probably taken from________

A. A health magazine   B. A scientific research

C. A news report   D. A school text.

A. Drinking coffee may cause cancer.

B. Smoking and alcoholic drinks are related with esophageal cancer.

C. Esophageal cancer is the most common cancer.

D. Hot drinks have something to do with esophageal cancer.

【4】The relationship between “coffee” and “beverages” is just like________

23、Over 180 teenage girls from Lixian County No. 1 Middle School in Longnan city, Gansu province, listened carefully to a lecture about neuroscience (神经科学). It was delivered by a director of the experimental surgery department at The Second Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University in Xi’an.

The students also joined a science class to make paper rockets to launch into the sky. A plastic bottle was connected with a long pipe joined to the end of the rocket, and students stepped heavily on the middle of the bottle so hard that the air pressure shot the rocket upward.

The program started in 2016 as a one-week summer camp in Beijing that invited female students to take science courses and to interact with women in science. It aims to stir (激发) an interest in science and technology among female students.

“I’m excited to take the opportunity because it’s been my biggest wish to popularize science among students. They can broaden their eyes and hopefully some of them will devote themselves to the field of neuroscience,” the director says. “It’s necessary to bring more of these activities on campus. I’m willing to communicate with teenagers, some of whom ask deep and thoughtful questions that I would never think of.”

The key to science popularization is to imbue (灌输) others with the spirit of science. Some scientific and technological workers have devoted themselves to a job in a certain field and they enjoy the pleasure of scientific research. Female Chinese scientific and technological workers sometimes have to double their efforts to receive the same treatment or recognition as those male scientific workers. However, after years of continued effort, the situation will improve, showing the increasing number of female scientists in China.

【1】What is the purpose of the program?

A．To praise the efforts of women scientists.

B．To find out how much girls love science.

C．To develop interest in science among girls.

D．To show love for students in Western China.

【2】How does the director think of the program?

A．Important.

B．Challenging.

C．Confusing.

D．Serious.

【3】What is the most important in science popularization?

A．Enjoying the fun of scientific research.

B．Filling people with the spirit of science.

C．Holding more scientific activities on campus.

D．Forcing students to choose scientific subjects.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．One can go anywhere if he/she learns science well.

B．People have a stronger sense of science than before.

C．Male scientists are much easily recognized than female ones.

D．The director graduated from Lixian County No. 1 Middle School.

24、   Humans and elephants don’t always get along. In Africa and Asia, elephants damage equipment, farmers’ crops, and natural habitat for other species. If an elephant becomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people and animal protectionists are trying to find better ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have a good tool to prevent elephants: honeybee pheromones (信息素).

“Elephants dislike being stung(叮咬) in the trunk, because it’s an extremely sensitive organ. Imagine being stung in your nose by a bee, and multiply that a few thousand times.” said Mark Wright, a professor at the University of Hawaii.

Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives (蜂箱) around their farms, they will drive elephants away. The problem is how to manage hundreds of thousands of hives, if you have a huge area to protect. And then the idea came up to look at the alarm pheromones, which are chemicals that the bees release to launch an attack on something that’s damaging the hive.

So the researchers tested out an artificial mixture of chemicals that imitates (模仿) honey bees’ alarm pheromones. The researchers hung white socks treated with the artificial mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant watering hole, and then observed the animals’ behavior. “Elephants are really curious creatures. They’ll walk along and see something like a sock hanging on a branch. If it’s not treated with the alarm pheromones, they’ll pick it up, throw it around, and try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, they would show immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and they’d eventually back off from them.”

In order to avoid the elephants more effectively, the researchers plan to make the pheromone mixture purer. That way, elephants will stay far away from wherever they should not be going-and both elephants and humans can coexist a bit more peacefully.

【1】What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

A.Bees enjoy stinging elephants.

B.Elephants’ trunk is a sensitive organ.

C.Being stung in the trunk is unbearable to elephants.

D.Honeybee pheromones make elephants suffer great pain.

【2】Why didn’t the researchers hang live beehives to keep elephants away from crops?

A.Because it’s not practical.

B.Because it doesn’t work to elephants.

C.Because elephants like the taste of honey.

D.Because researchers prefer to invent new chemicals.

【3】Paragraph 4 mainly tells us_________.

A.how the experiment was carried out

B.elephants’ reaction to the white socks

C.how to imitate honeybee alarm pheromones

D.why the team hung two different white socks

【4】What’s the purpose of the research?

A.To cut down the number of elephants.

B.To keep elephants away with bees’ stings.

C.To prevent elephants from damaging crops.

D.To better the relation between humans and elephants.
