Transportation Security Administration, which has used hundreds of the scanners as a way to screen millions of airline passengers for explosives hidden under clothing.The European Commission, which enforces common policies of the EUs 27 member countries, adopted the rule "in order not to risk doing harm to citizens' health and safety."As a ProPublica/PBS NewsHour investigation detailed earlier this month, X-ray body scanners use ionizing radiation (电离辐射)，a form of energy that has been shown to damage DMA and cause cancer. Although the amount of radiation is extremely low, equal to the radiation a person would receive in a few minutes of flying, several research studies have concluded that a small number of cancer cases would result from scanning hundreds of millions of passengers a year.European countries will be allowed to use an alternative body scanner relying on radio frequency waves, which have not been linked to cancer. The U. S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has also used hundreds of those machines known as millimeter-wave scanners in U. S. airports. But unlike Europe, it has decided to use both types of scanners.The TSA would not comment specifically on the EU 's decision. But in a statement, TSA spokesman Mike McCarthy said, "As one of our many layers of security, TSA uses the most advanced technology available to provide the best opportunity to detect dangerous items, such as explosives.“ We strictly test our technology to ensure it meets our high detection and safety standards before it is placed in airports," he continued. "Since January 2010, advanced imaging technology has detected more than 300 dangerous or illegal items on passengers in U. S. airports nationwide."Body scanners have been controversial (有争议的）in the United States since they were first used in prisons in the late 1990s and then in airports for tests after 9/11.28. Why did the European prohibit the use of X-ray scanners in European airports?A. Because they are made in the USA. B. Because they are not effective in use.C- Because they might do harm to passengers. D. Because their radiation is extremely low.29. Which of the following is true about the new body scanners to be used in Europe?.A. They will risk doing harm to passengers. B. They use ionizing radiation heavily.C. Their radiation is extremely high. D. They won't risk causing cancer.30. What can we infer from TSAs statement?A. The TSA will stop using the X-ray scanners. B. The TSA won't use EUs alternative scanners.C. The EUs alternative scanners are not advanced.D. The X-ray scanners are safe and effective.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. EU and the US have a different opinion.B. Europe Bans X-Ray Body Scanners Used at US Airports.C. Different scanners will be used in American.D. Body scanners have been controversial.DIf drinking coffee or tea has become part of your daily routine, you might wonder what it's doing to your long-term heart health. New research from Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, a journal (期刊）of the American Heart Association, found that high tea consumption and proper coffee consumption may be associated with decreased rates of death from coronary heart disease ( CHD)(冠心病).The study followed more than 37,000 tea and coffee drinkers over 13 years. Participants completed food recalls to document their typical intake of tea and coffee, and were divided into groups that ranged from light to heavy consumption. Researchers accounted for variables(变量）such as health histories, height, weight, and waist circumference (腰围）and recorded the number of deaths from cardiovascular (心血管的）disease and stroke during the study period.Overall results showed that consuming more than six cups of tea per day was associated with a 36% lower risk of death from heart disease compared to consuming less than one cup of tea per day. There appeared to be no such protective effect of tea-drinking at any amount for risk of death from stroke. Among coffee drinkers, more proper consumption levels (2-3 cups per day) were associated with the greatest risk reduction for death from heart disease (21% ) compared to drinking less than one cup of coffee per day.Researchers acknowledged certain inconclusive variables within their findings. For example, the difference between decaffeinated(去咖啡因的）and regular coffee could not be accurately accounted for, nor could specific recommendations be made for type of tea, though due to its popularity in the Netherlands where the study took place, researchers assumed most tea consumption to be black tea.Furthermore, researchers found that tea and coffee drinkers had opposite lifestyles, with tea drinkers tending to engage in healthy lifestyle habits and coffee drinkers being more likely to eat less healthy and smoke. It was difficult to say with certainty what impact these other lifestyle variables may have contributed to the overall results.32. What's the conclusion of the study?A. People should drink tea and coffee as much as possible.B. Drinking more tea may benefit people with CHD.C. High tea consumption may reduce the rate of stroke.D. Coffee consumption has nothing to do with heart disease. 33. Which of the following variables havent been considered?A. Health histories. B. Height and weight.C. Waist circumference. D. The type of tea and coffee.34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. All people in the Netherlands like black tea.B. Tea and coffee drinkers had a similar life style,C. Other variables have no effect on the results.D. There are still something uncertain about the study.35. Which of the following might be the best title?A. Why our heart loves coffee and tea, B. Drink more tea and coffee.C. Heart disease will be reduced. D. An amazing findings about heart diseases.第二节（共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Watermelon is one of the most popular and delicious summer fruits that almost everyone loves. 36 Watermelon is also rich in dietary fiber and potassium(钾），While theres a strong debate over whether watermelon is a vegetable or a fruit, many of us consider watermelon to be both.
