14.In the summer of 2014,about 17million people posted videos of themselves dumping (傾倒) ice water over their heads.Even many famous people,including singer-songwriter Taylor Swift,basketball player LeBron James,and former U.S.President George W.Bush,took part.Why did they do such a strange thing?
Those in the Ice Bucket Challenge all helped raise  awareness  (意識(shí))  and money  to  fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),a deadly disease.It is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease,after a famous baseball player who had it.It destroys neurons (nerve cells) that control muscle (肌肉) movement.
Each year,about 5,600people in the U.S.a(chǎn)re diagnosed (診斷) with ALS.The disease leads to the inability to move.Many people die two to five years after learning they have it.Right now,there's no right treatment for ALS.But the Ice Bucket Challenge may help lead to one.
"Before  the  Ice  Bucket  Challenge,few people knew about this terrible disease,"Jonathan Ling said.He is one of the scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.His team was unable to complete its research without the money raised through the Ice Bucket Challenge,Ling says.
Through their research,Ling and his team discovered that a protein (蛋白質(zhì) ) is damaged in most ALS patients.The scientists also found that nerve  cells with these damaged proteins  die quickly.But when the scientists put a new protein that acted like the damaged one into the nerve cells,the neurons came back to life!
Thanks  to  the  team's  research,experts believe they may be one step closer to a treatment that slows down or even stops ALS.Still,more research needs to be done,Ling admits.With that in mind,the ALS Association is promising that the Ice Bucket Challenge will continue every August until a good treatment is found.
32.What can we learn about ALS?A
A.No one knows how to treat the disease.
B.It is also named after a singer.
C.People will die a few days after they have it.
D.It can make people lose the ability to hear.
33.What might be Ling's attitude to the Ice Bucket Challenge?D
A.Worried.
B.Doubtful.
C.Uninterested.
D.Thankful.
34.According to the text,Ling's teamC
A.knows little about ALS
B.is now short of money
C.has made some progress
D.needs more researchers
35.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.How the Ice Bucket Challenge started
B.The Ice Bucket Challenge and ALS
C.Jonathan Ling,great ALS researcher
D.Some little-known facts about ALS.

分析 本文主要講述了冰桶挑戰(zhàn)以及ALS這種疾病.科學(xué)家已經(jīng)在該疾病的治療方法上面取得了相應(yīng)的成就.

解答 32.A 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容Right now,there's no right treatment for ALS.到目前為止,仍沒有對(duì)ALS的有效治療方式.結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故選A
33.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容He is one of the scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.His team was unable to complete its research without the money raised through the Ice Bucket Challenge,Ling says.由此可知,Ling是 Hopkins 大學(xué)的科研人員之一.他表示,若沒有來自 Ice Bucket Challenge籌集的資金,他們團(tuán)隊(duì)就完不成研究工作,因此,他抱有感激之心,結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故選D
34.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容Thanks  to  the  team's  research,experts believe they may be one step closer to a treatment that slows down or even stops ALS專家們認(rèn)為,多虧了Ling的團(tuán)隊(duì)的研究,他們對(duì)于這種病的治療方法有了進(jìn)一步的進(jìn)展.由此推斷,Ling的團(tuán)隊(duì)取得了一些進(jìn)步,結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故C為正確答案.
35.B 主旨題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,主要講述了冰桶挑戰(zhàn)以及ALS這種疾。茖W(xué)家已經(jīng)取得了相應(yīng)的成就.結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故選B

2.A young person is said to have a behavior disorder when his or her behavior is noticeably different f rom that expected in the school or community.This can also be stated in simpler terms as a child who is not doing what adults want him to do at a particular time.Children with this disorder often seem to be behaving in different and socially unacceptable ways.
    Like learning disabilities,behavior disorders are hard to diagnose.There are no physical symptoms in the body that are observable or measurable.Behavior disorders are therefore identified by observing behavior patterns in the child over a period of time.If a child displays some of the following behaviors,he may be labeled with a behavior disorder:
◆Aggression and cruelty to people and animals.
◆Destruction of property-defacing or damaging things.
◆Little sympathy and concern for others.
◆Takes no responsibility for behavior.Also lies,cheats and steals easily.
◆Disregards (無視)rules and regulations.
    In addition to these general symptoms of a behavior disorder,there are other symptoms characteristic of more specific behavior disorders such as ADHD-this is the inattentive,can't-sit-still behavior.The attention can't last long and the behavior is impulsive at times.The child also seems quite distracted and forgetful.
     Behavior disorders come from brain injury,child abuse,and shock,etc.There have also been indications that it could be a genetic disorder.The behavior therefore is an involuntary response to these experiences and the child should not be blamed for his behavior.Since the child has problems controlling his behavior,it stands to reason that his performance in school will be affected.A child with a behavior disorder will feel bad about himself and that low self-esteem will be further worsened by the adults around him who do not treat his condition with understanding and willingness to help.
     Behavior disorders are best dealt with by behavior and psychological treatments.But,as with learning disabilities,accurate diagnosis is important and this must be over a length of time.It is also important in trying to modify the behavior to be clear about what is the behavior you are expecting.Make sure it is a rational expectation.For example,expecting a three-year-old to sit quietly through a long church service may not be reasonable,or demandi ng that a six-year-old does extra home work after a long day of school and extra curricular activities may be stretching the child's concentration and attention too far.Since some behavior disorders result from shocking and upsetting life experiences or brain injury,treatments should include helping the child to resolve and heal emotionally from the experience.The behavior could be corrected through emotional healing.In other words,when a human being is emotionally healthy,that is,can be aware of his intelligence and enthusiasm for life and his loving connectedness to other human beings,he automatically"behaves"rationally.

1.If you're like most students,you probably read both at home and outside your home:perhaps somewhere on your schoolyard and maybe even at work during your breaks.Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding,so give some thought to how you can create or choose the right reading environments.The right environment allows you to stay alert(專注的)and to keep all of your attention on the text,especially when it is both interesting and difficult.
When you're at home,you can usually create effective conditions for reading.You might want to choose a particular place-a desk or table,for example-where you always read.Make sure the place you choose is well lighted,and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight.Reading in a chair that's too soft and comfortable is likely to make you sleepy!Keep your active reading tools(pens,markers,notebooks or paper)and a dictionary close at hand.
Before you sit down for a reading period,try to reduce all possible interruptions.Turn off your phone,the television,and the radio.Tell your family members or roommates that you'll be busy for a while.If necessary,put a"Do not disturb"sign on your door!The more interruptions you must deal with while you read,the harder it will be to keep your attention on the task at hand.

33.The author believes that the right reading environmentB.
A.helps readers a little in their reading tasks
B.helps readers a lot in their reading tasks
C.can only be created at one's home
D.can only be created outside one's home
34.Which type of the following interruptions is mentioned in the text?D
A.Dictionaries.
B.Paper.
C.Notebooks    
D.Phone calls.
35.What would be the best title for the text?C
A.What to Read
B.The Ways to Reduce Possible Interruptions
C.Creating an Effective Reading Environment
D.How to read fast.
