    Glaucoma（青光眼）is a major cause of blindness around the world, especially in developing countries. The World Health Organization says glaucoma is a greater public health challenge than cataracts（白内障）, because the blindness caused by the latter can be cured after operations.

    Glaucoma is a disease that makes people around the world lose their sight, and they usually don’t even know they have the disease until it has permanently destroyed at least 40 percent of their sight. The process is usually so painless and subtle（不明显的）, so people don't notice it. Actually, the simplest medical test can discover it.

    “It is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. In Hispanics and in African-Americans, it’s the second leading cause of blindness and so is the case in the Chinese and Indians.” said Dr. Alan Robin, a specialist in treating glaucoma. “The glaucoma we see in sub-Saharan Africa is a much more aggressive blinding disease than the glaucoma we see in Americans or even African- Americans in-the United States.” he said．　　 ．

    Dr. Eric Fleischer also sees these differences at Medstar Washington Hospital Center. “Pretty much anybody who has ancestors in Africa has an increased chance of developing glaucoma.” Age is another thing that may lead to glaucoma, although people of all ages can get it.

    Glaucoma is a group of diseases that commonly produce pressure in the eye. An eye is sort of like a watch. And behind the face of the watch, liquid is made. It goes through your pupil（瞳孔）and into the front of the watch between the face and the crystal．There's an area around the edge of the watch that drains（使排出）the liquid. When that drain is blocked, the liquid can't leave the eye as fast as it is produced. The rising pressure within the eye damages and eventually kills the optic（视觉的） nerve. The result is blindness.

    Fortunately, if caught early, glaucoma can be controlled. Glaucoma is not curable. But as researchers worldwide lean more about it, they grow more hopeful that glaucoma can one day be cured or even prevented.

    68. In which country is glaucoma the biggest danger to people’s sight?

    A. In China　　 B. In India　　 C. In the USA 　　 D. In Japan

    69. What do the underlined words “these differences”（in Para 4 ）refer to?

    　　　 A. The differences in regions（地区）　　 B. The cultural differences

    　　　 C. The differences in age　　　　　　 D. The physical differences

    70. From the passage, we can learn that,　　　　　 .

    　　　 A. It is hard for medical tests to discover glaucoma

    　　　 B. People in developed countries hardly develop glaucoma

    　　　 C. Glaucoma only causes blindness among old people

    　　　 D. The research on glaucoma is still going on worldwide

    阅读理解

    　　It’s not only rocket scientists and journalists who are following the course of“Shenzhou V”,or“Divine ship/vessel V”．There are also lexicographers, or dictionary compilers．The flight of the Spacecraft last week might help put some new words into orbit．

    　　One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts．It’s a combination of the Chinese pinyin“taikong”, meaning space, and the English“astronaut”, from classical Greek：“star sailor/navigator”, for people who was going into space as a career．

    　　In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15,“taikonaut”was used as a proper noun．For example：

    　　The long March 2F rocket carrying“taikonaut”Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the Gobi desert at 9 am and entered its orbit 10 minutes later．

    　　A Long March 2F rocket called the Shemhou V－“divine ship”in Chinese－carried a single“taikonaut”named Yang Liwei, 38, following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961．

    　　The word“taikonaut”is not a newly coined term．It first emerged in November, 1999, when China launched its first unmanned“Shenzhou I”spacecraft．

    　　At that lime, some English news media predicted that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word“taikonaut”for the Chinese astronauts．It was then borrowed by the Germans media．

    　　But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries, such as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Cambridge Advanced English Learner’s Dictionary．

    　　However, the launch of the“Shenzhou V”will most likely help boost its status since there is already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry．

    　　An astronaut of Russian(or the former Soviet Union)is called a“cosmonaut”, from the Russian“kosmonaut”．The word was derived from classical Greek：“kosmonaut”(universal)and“nautes”．One might argue that“cosmonaut”is a Russian variation on the earlier word“astronaut”．

    　　On March 14,1995, US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space on-board a Russian launch vehicle, arguably making him the first American cosmonaut．

    　　And if this trend of coinage continues, more English variations for astronaut will appear as more countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space, what would Western journalists call an astronaut from India or Africa?We’ll have to wait to see．

    (1)

    Which of the following best suits the passage as a title?

    [　　]

    A．

    Why to Create the Word“Astronaut”?

    B．

    Why to Make a Lot of Variations for“Taikonaut”?

    How to Tell a“Taikonaut”from an Astronaut?

    D．

    How to Call Astronauts from Different Countries?

    (2)

    Which is the right statement in the following sentence?

    [　　]

    A．

    The word“taikonaut”was born with the launch of“Shenzhou V”spacecraft．

    B．

    Yang Liwei, Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard are all excellent taikonauts．

    C．

    The American newspapers such as Reuters coined the word“taikonaut”．

    D．

    Some new words have widely been put into use with the launch of the“Shenzhou V”spacecraft．

    (3)

    From the writer’s point of view, ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    lexicographers or dictionary compilers have also done a lot of things to help launch“Shenzhou V”

    B．

    the American astronaut Norman Thagard is not a cosmonaut

    C．

    the words coined or to be coined for astronauts of different countries usually have something to do with the name(s)of their countries

    D．

    the reason why there will be more variations for the word astronauts is that more and more countries will be able to send their own astronauts into space

    (4)

    What does the underlined word“coinage”mean in the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    System of coins in use．

    B．

    Invention of word．

    C．

    New meaning of a word．

    D．

    Discovery of an old word．
