blood.Blood type,like hair color and height,isinherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type,the four groups must be transfused carefully.Basically,A and Bcannot be mixed.A and B cannot receive AB,but AB may receive Aor B.O can give to any other group;hence,it is often called theuniversal recipient.However,because so many reactions can occur intransfusion,patients usually receive only salt or plasma(liquid)untiltheir blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank ofa hospital.In this way,it is possible to avoid bad reactions to thetransfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and yournationality.Among Europeans and people of European ancestry,about42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O.The rarest istype AB.Other races have different percentages.For example,someAmerican Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.31.Which type is the universal recipient?A.A B.AB C.OD.B32.How many basic types of blood?A.three B.two

every other day of the year,more than 3000 U.S.adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becomingregular smokers as adults.During their lifetime,it can be expected thatof these 3000 adolescents about 23 will be murdered,30 will die intraffic accidents,and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-relateddisease.The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweighsall other factors,whether voluntary or involuntary,as a cause of death.Since the late 1970s,when daily smoking among high school seniorsreached 30 percent,smoking rates among youth have declined.Whilethe decline is impr-essive,several important issues must be raised.First,in the past several years,smoking rates among youth have declined very little.Second,in the late 1-970s,smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent.The st-atistic is reversing.Third,several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates,as much as 75 perce-nt.Finally,though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred inthe past decade,no definite reasons for the decline exist.Within this context,the National Cancer Institute(NCI)began its current effort to deteimine themost effective measures to reduce smoking level among youth.36.According to the author,the deaths among youth are mainlycaused by.A.traffic accidents B.smoking-related disease C.murder D.all of these37.Every day there are over high school students who willbecome regular smoker.A.75 B.23 C.30 D.300038.By“dropout“the author means.A.students

youth have declined very littleB.there is now more female than male smokers among high school seniorsC.high smoking rates are due to the increase in wealthD.smoking at high school is from low socio-economic backgroundsPassage fourThe food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health.Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit toeat,it has,at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat.Someresearch has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnessesare related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet aswell,especially cancer of the colon.Different cultures are more likelyto cause certain different illnesses because of the food that ischaracteristic in these cultures.That food is related to illness is not anew discovery.In 1945,about 35 years ago,government researchersrealized that nitrates,commonly used to preserve color in meats,andother food additives,caused cancer.Yet,these carcinogenic additivesremain in our food,and it becomes more difficult all the time to knowwhich things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful orharmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct.Farmersoften give penicillin to beef and living animals,and because of this,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow.Sometimessimilar drugs are given to animals not for medical puiposes,but forfinancial reasons.The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animalsin order to obtain a higher price on the market.Although the Food andDrug Administration(FDA)has tried repeatedly to control theseprocedures,the practices continue.41.What is the best possible title of the passage?A.Drug and Food B.Cancer and HealthC.Food and Health D.Health and Drug42.Which of the following statements is

substanceshave been added to food.D.The scientists have preserved the color of meats,but not ofvegetables.44.What are nitrates used for?A.They preserve flavor in packaged foods.B.They preserve the color of meats.C.They are the objects of research.D.They cause the animals to become fatter.45.The word carcinogenic most nearly means A.trouble-making B.color-retaining C.money-making D.cancer-causingin.Cloze(10%)Directions:Choose the best one of the four answers given to fillin each blank according to the text youve learned.Remember to mark your choices on the AnswerSheet.On his

of revoltagainst the moral values that had been the stength and pride of the pastgenerations.They didint want to be hard-working and thrifty as theirancestors had been.They rejected the idea that duty
