　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　In the past decade the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased, and so has the number of injuries. It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US each year. Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991 and 2008.

　　The study, published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that about 40,000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991 and 2008. The most common types of rock climbing-related injuries were fractures (骨折) and sprains (扭傷). The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent). Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74, with an average age of 26. The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries.

　　Falls were the primary reason for injury with over three-quarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall. The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall. Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower.

　　“We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 7 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbing-related injury，”explained the study author Lara McKenzie，PhD, director at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital. “This trend，combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries, demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers.”

　　1．Which body part is most likely to get injured for a climber?

　　A．The arm.

　　B．The ankle.

　　C．The knee.

　　D．The hand.

　　答案：B　細節理解題。根據第二段“The ankle was the most common body part to be injured(40 percent)．”可知踝關節是最容易受傷的部位，因此答案是B。

　　2．How many women climbers in America got injured while climbing a rock between 1991 and 2008?

　　A．About 40,000.

　　B．About 30,000.

　　C．About 20,000.

　　D．About 10,000.

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。第二段首句說從1991到2008年間，美國大約有4萬人因為爬山時受傷而接受治療，本段最后一句又提到“women took up a quarter of the injuries”，可知答案是D。

　　3．The severity of climbers'

　　fall-related injures is mainly related to ________.

　　A．the height of the fall

　　B．the climber's age

　　C．the climber's health conditions

　　D．the climber's climbing experience

　　答案：A　細節理解題。根據第三段“The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall.”可知摔下來的高度是決定受傷程度的主要因素，因此A項正確。

　　4．The underlined word “demonstrates” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ________.

　　A．demands

　　B．prevents

　　C．proves

　　D．describes

　　答案：C　詞義猜測題。根據語境，爬山者住院率高于參加其他體育和娛樂活動的人，這“證明”了爬山者要更加注意預防受傷。C項意思最合適。

　　B

　　Should e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed. More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e-cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration, but 47 percent believe the e-cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.

　　“In the hunt for a safer cigarette，e-cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer，” Zogby International, which conducted the survey, said in a statement.

　　About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e-cigarettes，which are bettry-powered，or vechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution. They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell. Sold mostly on the Internet, e-cigarettes were first made in China.

　　Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e-cigarettes, saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. The WHO said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.

　　Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden, because they don't produce smoke, but 46 percent disagree. Men who were aware of the availability of e-cigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit. Young people，aged 18－29 ，and singles were the groups most open to trying e-cigarettes. Smoking is the single largest cause of prerentable death worldwide，according to the WHO.
