For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping watching TV and buying things by phone. (66)  In a number of Europe countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.

(67)   For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 Europe countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.

In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. (68)

Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. (69) Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.

(70) They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

E. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.

F. Teleshopping is popular among people.

For several years, scientists have been testing a substance called interferon(干扰素), a possible wonder drug that is proving to be effective in treating a variety of diseases, including virus infections, bacterial infections, and cancers. To date, the new drug has no side effect of great influence to discourage its use.  But in spite of its success, last year only one gram was produced in the entire world.

The reason for the shortage lies in the structure of interferon. A special protein, the interferon produced from one animal species cannot be used in treating another animal species. In other words, to treat human beings, only interferon produced by human beings may be used. The drug is produced by infecting white blood cells with a virus. Fortunately, it is so effective that the amount given to each patient each time is very small.

Unlike antibiotics (抗生素), interferon does not attack germs directly. Instead, it protects healthy cells from being infected, and prevents the reproduction of viruses within cells.

As you might conclude, one of the most special uses of interferon has been in the treatment of cancer. Dr. Hans Strander, a research physician at Sweden’s famous Karolinska Institute, has treated more than one hundred cancer patients with the new drug. Among a group of selected patients who had received operations for advanced cancer, half were given  traditional treatments and the other half were given interferon. Among those treated with interferon 70 percent of them remained alive over three years, as compared with only 10 to 30 percent among those who had received the traditional treatments.

In the United States, a large-scale project supported by the American Cancer Society is now under way. If the experiment were successful, interferon could become one of the greatest medical discoveries of our time.

1.What is the difference between antibiotics and interferon?

A. Interferon has serious side effects, while antibiotics do not.

B. Antibiotics kill germs by attacking them directly, while interferon does not.

C. Antibiotics are very effective, while the effect of interferon is limited.

D. They are different in structure, although they are both proteins.

2. According to the passage, if 170 cancer patients received interferon treatment, how many of them would remain alive over three years?

A. About 30.

B. About 50.

C. About 120.

D. About 70.

3. The passage tells us that ________.

A. it is difficult to produce interferon in large quantities because of its special structure.

B. interferon is produced widely in lots of countries.

C. few of the patients who had received traditional treatments remained alive.

D. most of the patients who received interferon also needed traditional treatments.

UGG boots have been a winter­weather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. What many UGG­enthusiasts don't know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.

Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.

Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. “These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right，” he said. “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It's a slipper. You wouldn't normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that's indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say it's not a good idea.” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. “If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way，” he said，“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”

Mike O'Neill, a consultant surgeon, said，“As the foot slides around, you get wear and tear　 (磨损) on the joints on the inside of the foot. The ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.”

UGG Australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Wirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs (仿制品)” which lack reinforced heels in their boots.

1.Teenage girls prefer to wear UGG boots because of the following EXCEPT ________.

A．design 　　 B．comfort　　 C．quality　 D．warmth

2.According to Dr. Ian Drysdale, ________.

A．there is a possibility that bacteria will multiply in UGG boots

B．wearing UGG boots will lead to more ankle and toe problems

C．it's not a good idea to wear boots like UGG outside all the time

D．teenage girls' bones are plastic enough to wear UGG boots

3.The underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to ________.

A．shaped　　 B．strengthened　　 C．reformed　　 D．damaged

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Potential Harm of UGG Boots

B．The Popularity of UGG Boots

C．The Unique Design of UGG Boots

D．Benefits of UGG Boots

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

For years I have been asked by several people how and why I came to translate a novel by Virginia Woolf in 1945. I graduated from the University of Ankara in 1941 and my four teachers, including Orphan Burian, are members of the Translation Bureau who prepared a list of works to be translated into Turkish and set themselves to translating some of these, besides shouldering the heavy work of correcting or editing the translations submitted to the Bureau. Orphan Burian, now mostly known for his translations of Shakespeare, had started to translate To the Lighthouse for the Translation Bureau, but at the same time he wanted to do something from Shakespeare. So he transferred it to me.

For me, To the Lighthouse was love at first sight or rather at first reading. To translate a book, I first read it from the beginning to the end. Then I started writing each sentence by hand. When I finished the whole book I read my translation from the beginning to the end, checking it with the original, and making corrections. Then I typed it, and read the typed copy, making changes again. All in all that added up to five readings. I started translating the novel in 1943 and submitted it to the Bureau in 1944. It was published in 1945 under the general title of “New English Literature” in the series called “Translations from World Literature” known as the “Classical Series”.

So, the first book by Virginia Woolf in Turkish appeared in 1945, and it was To the Lighthouse. This was eighteen years after its publication in England in 1927. To me the book itself was pure poetry; I read it as if in a dream. Not trying to dive very deeply into it, I sort of swam on it or over it. Now, years later, I swim in it. Even after so many years, in each reading I become conscious of new layers of which I haven’t been aware before. It keeps pace with my experiences in life as years go by, and each reading is a new reading for me.

In 1982 and again in 1989 I revised it for two new editions and I again did it sentence by sentence checking it with the original. In those years I had thought it was necessary to revise my translations every ten years, but now I think I must do it every three or four years. In a country like Turkey, where we work very hard to clear our language from old and new foreign words, we should try to be up to date as to the words we are using, and of the same importance are the studies being made on the methods or techniques of translation, and new approaches in translation.

While translating, I usually have both the writer and the reader in mind. The novels she wrote after 1920 were especially new for most of the readers. She usually uses very short sentences, followed by rather long ones. I remember sentences of more than ten lines which weren’t easy for me to translate as they were. And in Turkish our having only one word, the word “O”, for “he”, “she”, “it” in English, made me repeat the names of the characters more often than Woolf did. And I changed some long indirect sentences in the original into direct sentences in my translation, thinking it would make an easier reading in Turkish.

When translating, I make use of all kinds of dictionaries. A difficult English word for me is the word “vision”. In To the Lighthouse, the artist Lily Briscoe is trying to finish the picture she has been drawing for some time and the novel ends with the following sentences: “Yes, she thought, laying down her brush extremely tired, I’ve had my vision.” And I’m still thinking about how to translate this remark into Turkish.

1.How and why did the writer come to translate To the Lighthouse?

A. It was really a piece of good luck.

B. She was the only qualified person for it.

C. Virginia Woolf was very familiar to her.

D. She was a member of the Translation Bureau.

2.What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?

A. The writer prefers the work very much.

B. The writer likes the sport swimming.

C. The writer is aware of her advantages.

D. The writer has digested the book very well.

3.Why does the writer revise her translations more often now?

A. Readers make new demands.

B. Turkish is a language of mobility.

C. Many mistakes are spotted in the old edition.

D. She wants to make it more popular in the market.

4.While translating, the writer repeated the names of the characters to_________.

A. make full use of the direct sentences

B. emphasize all of these characters

C.make her translation clearer in Turkish

D. make her translation much briefer

5.The last paragraph mainly implies that_________.

A. the writer is taking up a difficult job

B. the writer’s translation needs improving

C. English is a difficult language in the world

D. remarks from characters are difficult to translate
