Some take over-the- counter (非非非非) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (非非) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral (非非非非) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (非非), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus (非非非) A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.(1)What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They still need to be improved.D.They actually have no effect.(2)How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.(4)What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses13.（6分）Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material.It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher rs Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light withoutsacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1.What does the underlined part“that feature”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Cheap.B.Durable.C.Sustainable.D.Transparent.2.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B.Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.C.The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D.The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The bright future of the transparent wood.B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）14.（10分）When big news breaks,it's easy to get caught up in following the story online.The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 1 Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.Here’s some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.2 In the rush to cover stories,reporters make mistakes,officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(八卦新闻）that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.Use social media wisely.Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 3 On the other hand,Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.Be skeptical. 4 After the Boston Marathon bombing,NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims.Not true.There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories.The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians.Visit them to find out if a story is true.Keep it age-appropriate.Kids aren’t always ready to digest big tragic news--especially if the news is about kids,such as school shootings or abuses.The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids,and at the beginning of a news event,parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 5A.Remember,breaking news is often wrong.B.It also can be the source of misinformation.C.If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is.D.The government should take measures to prevent false news.E.However,after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.F.With social media at your fingertips,it's convenient to express your opinion.G.Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）15.（20分）In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night. It’s a story about Jennings, a boy living in various orphanages（孤儿院）with only his stuffed animal（毛绒玩具）, Doggie, for companionship.

No matter what you answer, you are partially right.A recent Gallup Poll show that both man and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of this is challenged in research published in the November issue of “Personality and Social Psychology Review”.In recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.They found a small but reliable tendency for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.The type of speech was also explored in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while men’s speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.46. This passage mainly talks about research conducted by ___________.A. Gallup PollB. “Personality and social Psychology Review”C. Campbell Leaper and Melanie AyresD. The author47. According to the passage which statement is true?A.

Men are born more talkative than womenC. Women and men are talkative in different cases.D. Women are no more talkative than men.49.

Talking with strangers, _____________.A. women are more talkative than with people they knowB. men are more talkative than with their wivesC. women prefer to listen more rather than speak moreD. men speak a lot to have their opinions acceptedBLocal businessmen are increasingly facing competition from on line retailers. Larry Pollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues, which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage.“Their overhead is lower, but they don’t offer a service like we do,” Pollock said.Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales.“We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it online,” he said.According to the state comptroller’s office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses.In spite of how fair or unfair online shopping may be to the local businessmen, consumers will continue to turn to the Internet for its variety and accessibility, said Mitch Wilson, an online shopper. “You have a larger selection and it’s easier to compare prices.”Wilson said he built his personal computer and paid a third of the price by shopping online.“Before the Internet, I would have had to go and buy an assembled computer from somebody like Dell,” he said. “Before I started shopping online I could never find all the pieces I wanted. No single store had everything needed, so shopping online saved me from having to buy from Dell.”Janny Brazeal, a psychology freshman, said online shopping is too impersonal.“I’d rather see it in person, touch it, know that I’m getting it,” she said.Brazeal also said she would not give out her credit card number or other personal information online no matter how safe the site claims it is.51. Larry Pollock has been facing the problem __________.A. before longB. after the InternetC. since there were mail-order cataloguesD. since he worked as a businessman52.

The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much ofthe time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be – an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty–two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.His long absences – two or three months sometimes – were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague (not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone. The note read, “Robert, it didn’t work out, I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”He didn’t stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.56. Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?A. Bellingham – Washington 11 – Puget Sound – U.S Route 20 – U.S Route 2 – DuluthB. U.S. Route 2 – Bellingham – Washington 11 – Puget Sound – U.S Route 20 – DuluthC. U.S. Route 2 – U.S Route 20 – Duluth – Bellingham – Washington 11D. Bellingham – Washington 11 –U.S. Route 2 –U.S Route 20 –Duluth57. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. Kincaid’s parents wer e dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.B. Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn’t been away from home too much.C. Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.D. Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.58. Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?A. To write “memory snapshots”.B. To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.C. To avoid forgetting the way back.D. To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.59. What can you know about Marian?A. She died after five years of marriage.B. She was older than Kincaid.C. She could sing very well and earned big money.D. She was not a professional pop singer.60. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that _____A. Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.B. Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian.C. It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid’s absence and left him.D. After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hatedthe taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.51.A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong52.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the SailorA. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeyewas funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. People liked folic acid.53.A research group told people that spinach______.A. made Popeye strongB. was a green vegetableC.had less iron than other green vegetablesD.had more iron than other green vegetables54.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. ironB. folic acidC. spinachD. exercise55.Folic acid is ______.A. something in foodB. a vegetableC. dangerousD. a certain kind of spinachCBody and FoodYour body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away ”is not as silly as som e people think.The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C.Many people take extravitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on themIn the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list ofillnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening, 56.“Your body has close relations with the food you eat.”It really means that ______.A.all kinds of food you eat can be made into your bodyB.your body is made up of the food you eatC.what you eat has great effect on your healthD.the more you eat, the fitter you will feel57.The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that ______.A.eating apples regularly does lots of good to our healthB.the apple is the best among all kinds of fruitsC.apples can take the place of doctorsD. an apple is a sure cure for illness58.In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know ______.A.our bodies need food or we can’ t liveB.often eating apples is a good habitC.taking extra vitamin pills is completely uselessD.a good diet is of great importance for our health59.In the modern western countries ______.A.people don ‘t want to pay more attention to their eatingB.lots of people’ s illnesses are caused or made worse by bad eat ing habitsC.people throw everything into their stomachs without chewingD.people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves60.From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy,we should ____.A. only eat an apple a dayB. eat properlyC. take as many vitamin pills as possibleD.throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefullyDAt midnight on New Year’s Eve, people in Rome, Italy, throw out all the things they no longer want. The streets are filled with old chairs, beds, clothes and dishes. In Madrid, Spain, the new year comes in more quietly. People flock to the main square. Each holds a bagof grapes. As the clock strikes twelve, the people eat the grapes—one for each stroke.In Tokyo people eat noodles on New Year’s Eve. This food is said to bring long life. Early the next morning, some Japanese families climb Mount Fuji. There they watch the first sunrise of the new year.61. This story is about New Year’s Eve in ____.A. Italy and SpainB.

In Tokyo, people eat noodles on New Year’s Eve _____.A.because they like eating noodles very muchB.so that the daytime could be longerC.in order that they could live longerD.though they don’t eat themEWe often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. 64. How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationships with ourselvesThe problem might be worse tha n we expect. Maybe we don’t like ourselves without realizing it. Here is a simple checklist: Is there anything you don’t like about yourself from these lists Your past: Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about. 65. Even if that happened in distant past, your subconscious mind still has a reason not to like yourself.Your background: You might wish that you were born in different family, or that you have different background. 66. They seem to get whatever they want effortlessly because of their background.Your personal traits(特点): You might have some personality traits that you don’t like. For example, you may be an introvert(内向) and you don’t like it; you wish you were an extrovert.Others might have better achievements than you, and no matter how hard you tried, it might seem impossible for you to match them.67. Is there anything that resonate(产生共鸣) with you All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. That in turn makes it difficult for you to be a good friend to yourself.68 . Here are some tips:Forgive yourselfAccept things you can’t changeFocus on your strengthsWrite your success storiesStop comparing yourself with othersAlways be true to yourselfA. That is the crucial(关键) first step if we are to have good relationships with othersB.You might then think that it’s because you are not smart enough or don’t have enough talentsC.You can do something to improve the relationships with othersD. Fortunately, there are always things you can do to fix the situationE. You might be disappointed with yourself on why you make such mistakesF. Sometimes you might not believe yourselfG.
