Passage 8(2013江蘇南通，七)

請認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

    It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall.It makes us wonder that since scientists can send a man to the moon,why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy.There are actually different cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get,so there isn^ a cure for each one.

    When a virus attacks your body,your body works hard to get rid of it.Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it.You feel terrible because you can5t breathe well,but your body is actually eating the virus.Your temperature goes up and you get a fever,but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells (細(xì)胞）.You may feel very uncomfortable,but actually your wonderful body is doing eveiything it can to kill the cold.

    Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries,for example,people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold. Some people lake hot baths and drink warm liquids.Other people take medicine to stop different symptoms (癥狀) of colds.

    There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you.The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn^ have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke,however,on taking medicine when you have a cold.lt goes like this： It takes about one week to get over a cold if you donH take medicine,but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.

  1. When is it easy for many people to catch a cold?

     

2. Why do you have difficulty breathing when you catch a cold?

   

3. How might Americans deal with colds?

   

4. How long does it usually take to cure the common cold?

Passage 10(2013江蘇蘇州常熟，C) 

    Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?

    Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very pop- ular.But,scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands.Be careful!Too much texting can cause swelling (腫脹) in our thumbs and wrists. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons,over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.

    We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson,who treats many pa?tients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10— 15 minutes at once,we could have problems in the future.

    We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient he had treated was a five-year- old girl.She wasnH doing well at school,so her parents took her for treatrnent.lt was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands,she couldn’t hold a pencil.

    As mobile phones develop,they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and pla?ying video games can also cause the same problem.So,more and more people couldn’t find themselves with RSI.

    Many university students and teenagers have RSI,as they do not know the risks (冒險(xiǎn)) of spending so much time using computers,video games and mobile phones.If we don't do something about this,too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.


1. What causes the problem RSI?

  A. People make too many phone calls.

  B. Texting is becoming very popular.

  C. People type too many text messages.

  D. Our thumbs were made for pushing buttons.

2. The little girl who Dr Harjeet Deepa treated couldn’t hold a pencil because   .

  A .she didn't go to school 

  B. she was only five years old 

  C. she had no thumbs at all 

  D. she suffered a lot from RSI You can probably read this passage in a .

   A. comic strip   B. story book

   C. science book   D. detective story

4. From the passage we know   .

  A. it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons 

  B. it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages 

  C. using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI

Passage 7 ( 2014 上海，D)

    根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

    Chris is not a traditional explorer —he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.

    Chris works for MSF,an organization also known as Doctors Without fiorcfers (無國界醫(yī)生) .MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programmes that help people.

    At the moment,there are over 27 ,000 trained medical staff taking part in MSF projects and tasks. Fhe organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and,of course,they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in (熱市’白勺) diseases are especially useful because most of MSF^ work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task,he has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks,they might be sent on an emergency task following a disaster,such as an earthquake.

    But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF? According to Chris,the experience you gain is a great help in your career.Besides,just like the explorers of the past,you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet.Most importantly,at the end of each task,you have made a real difference to people's lives.

  1. Does Chris work for a large organization?

        

2. When does MSF send trained doctors all over the world to help people?

   

3. How many medical staff are taking pari in MSF projects and tasks?

    Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. Cliai Jing,a former news hostess with CCTV,discussed it in her documentary Under the Dome (《彎頂之F》) .

    The 103-minute film was published on websites on Feb 28 ,2015.In the iilm,Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists.She concludes that burning too much coal and oil is the main cause of PM2. 5  and smog.

    To make things worse,according lo Chai,the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don't meet the standards of environmental protection. Therefore they have produced more harmful gas and particles (顆粒) to pollute the air.

    To solve the problem,Chai suggests that factories should clean our coal and oil,or replace them with cleaner energy.

    In her film,Chai also thought that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too.For example,we can live a greener life by using more public transportation.Or if we see something that could harm the environment,we can try to stop it.

    What can we do to help beat the smog?

  • . Take public transportation.

  • . Call the hotline 12369 for complaints about environmental problems.
