Two major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the last few decades. Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercise, which are the potential factors for the disease.(1)The author gives the example of the house we live in to indicate that ________. A. s main job is to remove toxins (毒素) and unwanted water from our blood. Every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood. Kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no apparent pain. s not unmon for people to lose up to 90 percent of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection(診察) difficult. t work efficiently. Your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products. Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins. Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected. You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week. The following week you put out another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week. But again, only two bags are collected. Imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks. 3.閱讀理解 故選C。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的”We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly.“我們不能指望解決工業(yè)生活中更明顯的問題,其中許多問題是由工作中的不平等造成的挫折引起的,除非我們堅決地處理它,可知,我們的工作存在很多不公平的現(xiàn)象,除非我們堅決抵制。故選A。 (1)考查推理判斷。They have plete control over themselves.【答案】 (1)A(2)B(3)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文,工作是人們生活的中心和主導(dǎo),工作也給人們帶來很多的問題。They can work at what interests them.B.They won39。had better cancel all managing positions in a panyD.should create more working opportunities for the poorB.D.the place where they workC.the type of work they do working lives. Most important of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It provides them with no opportunity for personal development.
