Yet it is women who are told to stop drinking and smoking and to look after their health when they are pregnant. And it is women who find that they are banned from jobs where they are exposed to harmful chemicals or radiation.57) Despite a growing body of scientific evidence that a man' s exposure to damaging substances can. affect his offspring, pregnant women are still charged with the responsibility of keeping their infants healthy, said Gladys Friedler, of the Boston university School of Medicine. "This is puzzling", she said. "Most of the workforce is still male, so why do we still spend so much time looking at women? The health of men as well as women should be of concern. "In the US,2,500,000 children are born with birth defects each year. In 60 percent of cases the origin of the defect is not known.58) These figures do not include less obvious problems that appear later in development, such as biochemical malfunctions and behavioral problems.Many researchers still seem reluctant to contemplate that a man' s environment can influence the health of children. "If the effects had not been so obvious, we might still be reluctant to acknowledge the effect of environmental agents on women. " Despite this, there is a reluctance to accept the accumulated evidence of men' s effects on development, she said.59) Some companies have already taken steps to "protect the unborn child" by excluding women from jobs where they teps to "protect the unborn child" by excluding women from jobs where they might be exposed todangerous substances. This has led to some bitter disputes between the women and their employers in the US. The most famous case, now before the Supreme Court, pits a group of women and their union against Johnson Controls, a company which makes batteries.60) The company transferred women from higher-paying jobs where they were exposed to lead on the grounds that it had to protect unborn children.

全国公共英语测试四级(PETS4)全真考卷下以下是笔者为大家整理的关于公共英语等级考试的文章，供大家学习参考！section iii reading comprehensionpart aread the following four texts. answer the questions below each text by choosing a, b, c or d. mark your answers on answer sheet 1.textit was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. after six months of arguing and a final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, australia’s northern territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. the measure was passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. almost immediately word flashed on the internet and was picked up, half a world away, by john hofsess, executive director of the right to die society of canada. he sent it on via the group’s on-line service, death net. sayshofsess: “we posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn’t just something that happened in australia. it’s world history.”the full import may take a while to sink in. the nt rights of the terminally ill law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. some have breathed sighs of relief; others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the australian medical association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. but the tide is unlikely to turn back. in australia ? where an aging population,life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part ? other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. in the u.s. and canada, where theright-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.under the new northern territory law, an adult patient can request death ? probably by a deadly injection or pill ? to put an end to suffering. the patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. after a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient cansign a certificate of request. after 48 hours the wish for death can be met. . for lloyd nickson, a 54-year-old darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the nt rights of terminally ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “i’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what i was afraid of was how i’d go, because i’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.1. from the second paragraph we learn that[a] the objection to euthanasia is diminishing in some countries.[b] physicians and citizens have the same view on euthanasia.[c] technological changes are chiefly responsible for the new law.[d] it takes time to appreciate the significance of laws passed.2. by saying that “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling”, the authormeans that[a] observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia.[b] there is a possibility of similar bills being passed in the u.s. and canada.[c] observers are waiting to see the movement end up infailure.[d] the process of the bill taking effect may finally come to a stop.3. when lloyd nickson is close to death, he will[a] undergo a cooling off period of seven days.[b] experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient.[c] have an intense fear of terrible suffering.[d] face his death with the calm characteristic of euthanasia.4. what is the author’s attitude towards euthanasia?[a] hostile.[b] suspicious.[c] approving.[d]indifferent.5. we can infer from the text that the author believes the success of theright-to-diemovement is[a] only a matter of time.[b] far from certain.[c] just an illusion.[d] a shattered hope.part bread the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into chinese. your translation should be written clearly on answer sheet 2.do animals have rights? this is how the question is usually put. it sounds like a useful,ground-clearing way to start.61) actually, it isn’t, because it assumes thatthere is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have.on one view of rights, to be sure, it necessarily follows that animals have none.62) some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements. therefore, animals cannot have rights. the idea of punishing a tiger that kills somebody is absurd; for exactly the same reason, so is the idea that tigers have rights. however, this is only one account, and by no means an uncontested one. it denies rights not only to animals but also to some people ? for instance, to infants, the mentally incapable and future generations. in addition, it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never consented to it: how do you reply to somebody who says “i don’t like this contract”?the point is this: without agreement on the rights of people, arguing about the rights of animals is fruitless.63) it leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend toother humans, or with no consideration at all. this is a false choice. better to start with another, more fundamental, question: is the way we treat animals a moral issue at all?many deny it.64) arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice. any regard for the suffering of animals is seen as a mistake ? a sentimental displacement of feeling that should properly be directed to other humans.this view, which holds that torturing a monkey is morally equivalent to chopping wood, may seem bravely “logical”. in fact it is simply shallow: the confused center is right to reject it. the most elementary form of moral reasoning ? the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl ? is to weigh others’ interests against one’s own. this in turn requires sympathy and imagination: without which there is no capacity for moral thought. to see an animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy.65) when that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind’s instinct for moral reasoning in action,an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.section iv writingwidespread tobacco consumption has led to grave consequences, yet the tobacco companies are still claiming that they make a valuable contribution to the world economy.write an essay1) criticizing their view and2) justifying your stand.in your essay, make full use of the information provided in the pictures printed below.you should write approximately 160 ?

大学英语四级仔细阅读专项强化真题试卷18(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us. Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV(or a similar distraction)can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual cues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption. A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people’s hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they’d seen in front of them —in other words, how much they remembered eating. This disparity(差异)suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol. “Hunger isn’t controlled solely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal,”Brunstrom says. “This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought.”These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance)people who drank the same 380-calorie(卡路里)milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones(荷尔蒙), depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they’d consumed a higher-calorie shake. What docs this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating. The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.1．What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake?A．How we perceive the food we eat.B．What ingredients the food contains.C．When we eat our meals.D．How fast we eat our meals.正确答案：A解析：事实细节题。

It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods deriveslargely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine， it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance， price， etc.， from an advertisement.We must not forget， either， that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers， mercial radio and television panies couldnot subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper， or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!1. What is main idea of this passage?A. Advertisement.B. The benefits of advertisement.C.
