The term benign prosta c hypertrophy (BPH) just simply means an enlarge prostate. It is generally believed to affect most
men over the age of 45 (with various levels of severity). Overall, the number of men with BPH increases progressively with
age. By age 60, 50 percent of men will have some signs of BPH. By age 85, 90 percent of men will have signs of the condit ion.

About one-third of these men will develope symptoms that require t reatment. Prostate enlargement, or BPH, is not a
malignant condi on,but it does put pressure on the urethra and can cause a number of urinary symptoms such as frequent
urina on, urinary urgency, the need to get up at night to urinate, difficulty star n g urina on, a reduc on in the force of the
urine stream, terminal dribbling, incomplete emptying of the bladder, and even the inabiity to urinate at all. The prostate ,
a small gland that produces fluid for semen, is in an ideal posi on to cause troubl e. The gland wraps snugly around the
urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder. It’s a ght squeeze -and it only gets ghter as men grow older. As
symptoms progress, a man may also be at higher risk of bladder stones and bladder infec on. The kidneys may be damaged
from back pressure caused by the reten on of large amounts of urine in the bladder. There may be sudden blockage of the
urinary tube, making urina on impossible, and not infrequently, blood may be detected in the urine. The exac t mechanism
for the enlargement of the prostate gland remains unclear; however, there are certain factors that are obviously involved.
As men age, the male sex hormone dihydrotestosterone(DHT) starts to build up in the prostate, which causes the prostate
to slowly enlarge.
The Vahlensieck, AUSI and I-PSS ra ng systems are used to evaluate the severity of symptoms associated with BPH. All these
methods are based on a limited number of ques ons associated with a numbered score: the total score is an evaluat ive index
of BPH-associated severity, which can be from “mild” to “moderate” or “severe”. Severe symptoms that are associated with
a very large prostate may require surgery.

Narwhal, robust-bodied, toothed whale, occuring only in deep waters of the high arc c, almost always close to floa ng ice.
It is closely related to the beluga whale. Narwhals are mo led black and white, with more dark mo ling on the back than on
the belly. Females grow to 4.2 m(14 ) in length, and males to 4.7m(15 ). Narwhals have only two teeth, both in the upper
jaw. The le tooth of the adult male continues to grow, spiraling forward from the head, un l the tusk is up to 3m(up to 10 )
long. Including this tusk, the overall body length of an older male may be nearly 8m(nearly 26 ).
Narwhals o en occur in small pods of 2 to about 12 animals, which are parts of larger herds. They migrate seasonally as the
ice edge moves, and they can be found in remarkably thick ice. Fish, squid, and shrimp make up their diet. The members
of a herd may segregate themselves according to age and sex, especially during migra on. In such cases, subadult male or
adult male groups can be easily dis nguished by the size of their tusk.
The social systems of narwhals is not known, although researches believe that males may display or fight one another for
access to females. Males have been observed to use their tusks for sparring with other males at or above the surface of the
water, and males may occasionally be seen with their tusks par ally broken off or with tusks embedded in their bodies.
Actual spearing of one male by another, however, is probably less common. A mature female may give birth once every three
years. Gesta on lasts about 15months, and a single calf is born in the summer.
Narwhals are hunted by Inuits and some northen Europeans for their skin, meat, blubber, and especially for their tusks. The
tusk is used as an ornament, both whole and carved, and is some mes ground into a powder for reputed medicinal purposes.
Although the existence of the species does not appear to be threatened, local overhun ng of indiv idual narwhals and their
food supply may be limi ng popula ons.

A. female narwhals C. subadult narwhals

Police in New Jersey believe they have solved one of the longest running murder cases in the state’s history: the
disappearance of five Newark teenagers in 1978. A er tracking leads for 32 years, two men were arrested March 22 and
charged with harding the teens at gunpoint into an abandoned row house, tying them up and torching the building, se ng
a blaze so fierce police say the bodies were incinerated, destroying any evidence. Now prosecutors have a difficult task: pro ve
the teens were murdered when their bodies were never found.
Murders without bodies were long considered one of the most complex challenges in the legal profession, but advances in
technology have made the once-unthinkable prospect more common. The absence of the key piece of evidence -the
corpse-poses unique problems for both prosecutors and defense a orneys, according to Thomas “Tad” DiBiase, a
Washington-based lawyer who runs a website chronicling “no body” murders. He said the majority of such cases end in
convic ons or guilty pleas. “The body can tell you how the murder occured,” he said. “It can be tell you when the murder
occured, it can tell you where the murder occured, so by taking away the body you take away all those elements from a case -
that makes it enormously difficult.”
The new jersey case was ini ally treated as a missing person’s case and no connec on was made between the fire and the
teens disappearance. In the decades since, any clues have been all but obliterated. The site of the fire is now a housing
complex and addi onal case files were reportedly lost in a courthouse flood.

175. The word their in line 6 refers to ... B. the weapon of the murders has a significant role
A. the teens C. the bodies were the key piece of evidence
B. the murderers D. the prosecutors were the key elements of a
C. the police case
D. the prosecutors 179. When was the murder of five Newark teenagers
176. In line 17, the world obliterated is closest in meaning to solved?
... A. in 1978
A. Eliminated B. in 2000
B. Preserved C. in 2010
C. Terminated D. in 2011
D. Sca ered 180. The author men ons all of the following about the New
177. what can be inferred from the passage about the New Jersey cases EXCEPT ...
Jersey case? A. it was the longest running murder case in the US
A. the prosecutors have enough evidence B. the site of the fire is now a housing complex
B. the convicts need to find a good lawyer C. the case files were lost in a courthouse flood
C. the case needs to be closed D. it was originally treated as a missing person’s case
D. the murderers will never be put into trials
