LOUIS, MO JULY 4, 20165I eat a guacamole sandwich everyday on pumpernickel bread and it’s not only delicious but Ifeel it’s healthy and I have gained NO weight.1.

What advice can you find in Recipes & Remedies?A. how to go on a diet to keep healthyB. how to keep fit through good dietC. how to use food to cure cancerD. how to take drugs to relieve pains3. Where does the passage come from?A. A webpageB. A guideC. A reviewD. A newspaperBA couple of weeks ago, my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” The following day, as I tried to complete my day’s work, I happened to notice a bumblebee (大黄蜂) on the skylight (天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.It is not only time that we tend to underestimate –we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged – even at a task you thought was simple – because that is part of life.If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable. In middle school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule (计划) best suited for myself. Yet each time, I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be easy, I found mysel f with a more positive attitude and improved results.Of course, there should be preparations made to account for expenses or time. Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.4. Why did the author mention his experience of removing a bee?A. To share something unforgettable with us.B. To lead us to what the author learned from it.C. To show the unexpected costs it caused.D. To tell us how easy it is to waste our time.5. Why do things often turn out to be different from what we expect?A. We often don’t take time seriously.B. We tend not to have enough money.C. Unexpected things can happen.D. It is easy to feel challenged.6. According to the text, what does the underlined phrase “beat ourselves up” mean?A. to hit or kick ourselves hard, many timesB. to blame ourselves too muchC. to encourage ourselves to work hardD. to give up ourselves7. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?A. To encourage people to make greater efforts.B. To explain how to make preparations.C. To tell us what to do when something gets in our way.D. To persuade us not to expect things to be easy.CDue to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), people all over the world are wearing masks to reduce the risk of infection. It’s a very simple but incredibly effective method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Let’s take a look at some mask-related history.1st centuryIn that era, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses. To address this problem, Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), a Roman philosopher and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder (膀胱) skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Although primitive, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.16th centuryEarly inventions did not stop with Pliny. Many centuries later, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), proposed using a woven cloth dipped in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals.19th centuryThe design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent (注册专利) a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz-Radecki designed a simple mask composed of one layer of gauze (纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. That was the first recorded use of a surgical mask.20th centuryIn 1910, an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”. Made of two layers of surgical g auze, it could be wrapped around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple to manufacture (制作) and had a low production cost. Modern explorationWith several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu, and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better protect its wearer. For example, in 2012 when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can filter out this fine particulate (微粒) matter, became highly popular. In the future, masks will continue to improve, hopefully so will the habits of humans.8. According to the text, why were masks invented?A. To reduce the risk of infection.B. To protect miners from dust.C. To indicate patients with respiratory illnesses.D. To protect workers from harmful chemicals.9. What was considered a milestone in face mask history?A. Using a woven cloth instead of animal skins.B. Getting a patent on protective masks for miners.C. The invention of surgical masks in 1897.D. Using more than one layer of surgical gauze.10. “Wu’s mask” grew popular around the world because _____.A. it could be used multiple timesB. it was simple for people to wearC. it was cheap and easy to manufactureD. it could better protect people from smog11. What is the text mainly about?A. The evolution of masks.B. The benefits of using masks.C. A comparison of different masks.D. The roles masks played at different times.DDuring the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (测定序列) the DNA of the virus. But they didn’t keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.Due to this openness, pharmaceutical companies across the globe are now able to work at the same time to develop a vaccine (疫苗). “There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different a ge groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. “The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient (有适应力的) we’ll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future.”Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.This openness in science is going to be even more important in the future. “With climate change, increasing globalization, and population shifts, epidemics will not go away, and might even become more frequent,” Dan Barouch, a Harvard Medical School professor, told Harvard Magazine.He said, “No one group can do everything. It has to be a coordinated approach. But I do think that the world has a greater sense of readiness this time to develop knowledge, drugs,and therapeutics (疗法) very rapidly.”Every epidemic is indeed a crisis, but it can also be a learning opportunity. One redeeming (补偿的) factor of the COVID-19 outbreak is that it is helping science adapt for the better.12. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Coordinated efforts to fight the epidemic.B. Something positive we’ve learned from the epidemic.C. The significance of openness and sharing of scientific knowledge.D. What needs to be done to prevent future epidemics.13. What is the positive effect of the research team from Fudan University placing the genetic sequence of the virus onto GenBank?A. They alerted the world to the danger of the virus.B. They helped remo ve people’s fear of the virus.C. They showed the world how to produce a vaccine.D. They invited collective efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine.13.What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Remdesivir in the text?A. To introduce a possible cure for the epidemic.B. To compare the treatment of Ebola and the novel coronavirus.C. To prove that many drug companies readily share their discoveries.D. To show that the novel coronavirus will soon be contained.14.Which of the following would Dan Barouch probably disagree with?A. Epidemics will be less frequent thanks to scientific development.B. The world is becoming better prepared to deal with epidemics.C. No single group can fight against the epidemics independently.D. The increase in globalization may worsen future epidemics.第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Write ONE WORD for each answer.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.II. Grammar and VocabularySection A 17’Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.( A )Health Is a Laughing MatterIf you think back to an occasion when something made you laugh out loud, you’ll probably find your lips starting to twitch (抽动) again and that same positive feeling invading your body.25 you may not realize, though, is that this good for you. Both smiling and laughing have a beneficial effect on your health. Laughter, the physical sign which indicates you are enjoying your life, is one of 26 (cheap) beauty treatments. It reduces stress, nourishes the spirit and is a natural antidepressant.Laughing produces a chemical effect in the body. 27 makes the body produce biochemical substances such as serotonin (止清素) and adrenaline (肾上腺素). These boost the immune system (免疫系统), activating the cells and stimulating their division.There is also a physical effect. A full-blown laugh-out-loud session mobilizes and strengthens over 400 muscles; it gets the heart and abdomen (腹部) working. Laughing out loud also aids digestion, reduces fatty acids, decreases pain and benefits breathing. When you laugh, your blood bees 28 (charge) with electomagentic (电磁的) energy, 29 can improve circulation.Laughing 30 you cry, in addition, could improve your ability 31 (see) clearly and make you see colors more vividly. But a good laugh clears not just the eyes but the ears and nose, too.Actually, the health benefits of laughter 32 (recognize). There is even a World Laughter Organization, based in Spain. Mari Cruz Garcia, the president and a laughter therapy expert, says, “Laughter develops imagination and creativity, reduces anxiety, and produces a facial massage (按摩). Five minutes of laughter acts as a pain reliever; laughing 100 times is equivalent to 33 (do) ten minutes of aerobic exercise, and 20 seconds of laughter is equivalent to a three-minute workout at the gym!”( B )It’s another Oscar season. This year, Leonardo Dicaprio, Brie Larson and many other lucky winners accepted their Oscars and thanked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts (美国电影艺术与科学学会), their families and colleagues. So, 34 linguistic(语言的) terms, what makes an acceptance speech succeed where others fail?To explore this, let’s take a look at a few thank-yous from the best actresses, some from the mid-twentieth century and some from recent years.The first is English actress Vivien Leigh (费雯丽), 35 (receive) the Academy Award for Gone with the Wind in 1940. “Ladies and gentlemen,”she said, “please forgive me if my words are inadequate in thanking you for your very great kindness. If I were to mention all those who have shown me such wonderful generosity, I should have to entertain you with a speech as long as Gone with the Wind itself.”Leigh begins with a humble apology 36 (emphasize) the depth of her appreciation. It’s 37 words-fail-me approach.British- American actress Olivia de Havillland received her first Oscar in 1947, going on a bit to explain her pride in the award. “Since I value highly the profession which 38 (instruct) me, rewarded me and permitted my share of the world’s work, it will understand and forgive me, I know, for the very great pride I feel in receiving this award,” she said.In the 21st century, the language has changed, but we find the same strategies：pride, humor and some references to childhood. Kate Winslet, for example, 39 (mention) her youthful dreams 40 receiving her Academy Award for The Reader（《生死朗读》）in xx. “I’d be lying if I haven’t made a version of this speech before. I think I was probably eight years old and staring into the bathroom mirror and this would have been a shampoo bottle. Well, it’s not a shampoo bottle now!” she said in a humorous tone.These are just a sample. If we were to look at the full range of acceptance speeches, who knows what we 41 find. After all, in order not to make for a pretty boring ceremony, successful acceptance speeches are often indirect and they often go beyond a simple “thank you.”Section B 10’Directions: plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only beWhether you have 5,000 friends on Facebook or 50, chances are at least some of them are not really your friends. The majority of them cannot develop a 42 friendship with you.And it doesn’t 43 , of course, some of your friends are robots. According toa newly published University of Oxford study, the average Facebook user may have just four“close” friends to depend on in times of crisis. The number was found to be almost 44 across all age groups, in both men and women, 45 of how many friends they could boast online.To carry out the study, Oxford psychology professor Robin Dunbar 46 two large, separate groups of adults across the U.K. The first group had 2,000 men and women between ages 18 and 65 who “made regular use of social media,” while the second included1,375 “adults who worked full time” and were not necessarily social media users.Both groups were asked a series of questions about their online and offline behavior, as well as the size of their social networks in both spaces. When asked how many 47 friends they had on Facebook, they offered an average answer of 41.4. When asked, however, how many Facebook friends they could depend on during an emotional or social crisis, those people said the number was 4.1. Around 13.6, they 48 , would express sympathy.“So, in the end, all we have is time,” said Professor Dunbar. “Your brain can only take so much friendship. Your emotions can only be 49 with a few people. Facebook is, indeed, a time-sink（耗费时间的东西）, not a glorious new syncing （同步）of souls.”But Dunbar did offer a solution as to how to 50 true friendships.“Friendships, in particular, have a natural decay rate in the absence of contact, and social media may well function to slow down the rate. However, that alone may not be enough to prevent friendships from eventually dying if they are not occasionally 51 by face-to-face interaction,” he said.So, maybe we ought to make more calls and pay more visits to the people we love----there aren’t that many, after all.III. Reading prehensionSection A 15’Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Napping for a while at daytime is a very smart and healthy move. The Mayo Clinic says naps 52 relaxation, better mood and alertness, and a sharper working 53 . A xx British study found that pared to getting more nighttime sleep, a mid-day nap was the best way to 54 the mid-afternoon sleepiness.According to the Harvard Health Letter, several studies have shown that people 55new information better when they take a nap shortly after learning it. And, most 56 , a xx study of nearly 24,000 Greek adults in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who napped 57 had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease pared to people who didn’t nap.Of course, napping isn’t58 for everyone. If you’re suffering from inability to sleep, naps that are too long or taken too late in the day can 59 with your ability to fall or stay asleep at night.But for most, naps can make you feel sharper and happier. Naps provide different benefits 60 on how long they are.

That same rocking motion that puts babies to sleep works wonders for grown-ups, too.52. A. relieve B. promote C. operate D. support53. A. feeling B. frame C. sense D. mind54.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist－high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons．We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize thata detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.67.The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________．A. relax in the fresh airB. take a deep breathC. take care of the lambD. let the kids play with Banner68. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A. Freeways are where beauty hides.B. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.69. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Charm of the DetourB. The Road to BraveryC. Creativity out of NecessityD. Road Trip and Country Life(B)Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed herself as she did nowhere else.After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline's close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher's editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing a late life career longer than her two marriages bined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to bee an international best seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography (自传)，Moonwalk.Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote.Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.70. We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline ________.A. became fond of reading after working as an editorB. was in charge of publishing 100 booksC. promoted her books through social relationsD. gained a lot from her career as an editor71. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ________.A. Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather than as First LadyB. Jacqueline's life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editorC. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First LadyD. Jacqueline's role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor72. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Jacqueline's two marriages lasted more than 20 years.B. Jacqueline's own publishing firm was set up eventually.C. Jacqueline's views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited.D. Jacqueline's achievements were widely known.73. The passage is mainly ________.A. an introduction of Jacqueline's life both as First Lady and as an editorB. a brief description of Jacqueline's lifelong experiencesC. a brief account of Jacqueline's career as an editor in her last 20 yearsD. an analysis of Jacqueline's social relations in publishing(C)As rules, laws are people’s rights and responsibilities toward society. Laws are agreed on by society and made official by governments.Some persons look on laws w ith fear, hatred, or annoyance. Laws seem to limit people’s freedom to do many things they would like to do. Though laws may prevent us from doing things we wish to do at the moment, laws make everyone’s life safer and more pleasant. Without laws we could not hold on to our property; we could not go to bed at night expecting to wake up in the morning and find that we had not been robbed; no stores in which we buy food, clothes, and other necessities could stay open and sell to us. Our banks would not be safe places to keep our money.Social life would be impossible without laws to control the way people treat one another. It is not the laws that should be feared but the trouble that es to everyone when laws are broken. Once this is understood, a citizen will not fear or hate the law. Understanding the need for good laws and the evil results of breaking laws is the first requirement of good citizenship and government.Philosophers once believed that in prehistoric time people lived without laws in a “state of nature”. People were free to do as they pleased unless someone stronger stopped them by force. As a result, life became so dangerous and unsafe that leaders had to create laws to protect life and property.This is no longer believed to be true. Scholars now think that as soon as people began living in small groups, they worked out rules for getting along with one other. In time everyone accepted and supported the rules. Manners, customs and beliefs controlled the living habits and behavior of the group. Such rules and habits of life are called folkways.Folkways are probably the real meaning of human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education. As life became more plex, folkways became more plete guides to living. After thousands of years, some of the important folkways were put into writing as the earlier laws. Andas life grew more and more plicated with faster transportation and the rise of modern industry and big cities, more human acts and interests had to be ruled by law. This led to a great increase in the number of laws.But we know that unless laws are enforced, they cannot protect us. Poorly enforced laws invite crime and violence. So we agree that the best protection against crime is planned social change and law reform -- to reduce the causes of crime and to encourage people to obey the laws. Such a solution would join a sound system of law enforcement with forces working to prevent crime. To attain this goal, all citizens must understand the need for good laws and for their enforcement.74. Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance, because_____.A. laws and rules are too plicated to understandB. they can’t do whatever they want toC. laws only protect those who worked out themD. they feel it unnecessary to have laws75. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?A.Without laws we may fail to hold on to our propertyB.Good citizens and government should be aware of the need for good laws and the evilresults of breaking lawsC. In prehistoric time people lived happily without laws in a “state of nature”.D. Human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education, are believed to originate fromFolkways.76. A sound system of law enforcement is necessary because_____.A. some citizens fear or hate the law.B. the evil results of breaking laws are getting fewer and fewer .C. we need someone stronger to stop crime by force.D. poorly enforced laws cause crime and violence.77. What’s the best title of this passage?A. The Origin of LawsB. Enforcement of LawsC. Leaders and LawsD. Laws and rules.Section C 8’Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Dog owners often talk about their pets like they’re part of the family. In fact, it often seems as though owners see their dogs as their kids. Now, scientists have found that the connection between humans and their dogs is similar to the mother-child bond, and it’s strengthened by the same thing: a loving gaze.The study was led by Takefumi Kikusi, an animal behaviorist at Azabu University (麻布大学) in Japan. When our dogs gaze into our eyes with that “you are everything to me” look, our bodies----and theirs as well----are flooded with oxytocin (催产素)，the hormone of love and care that strengthens the bond between people.Additionally, the more dog owners and their canine (犬科的) panions gazed into each other’s eyes, the more oxytocin both sides produced, Japanese researchers discovered. And themore we humans return a pet’s gaze, the more definitely we believe ours is the best dog in the whole wide world. That’s why service dogs, which are bred and trained to develop particularly powerful bonds with their owners, are proving their worth with patients.These findings, published in the journal Science, were based on 30 pairs of dog owners and their beloved pets. For the sake of parison, the researchers also analyzed the interactions between 11 wolves and the animal management professionals who had raised, fed and played with them, but they saw neither mutual (互相的) gaze nor the oxytocin increase.As the researchers put it, the experiments prove that “humans may feel affection for their panion dogs similar to that toward human family members.” They also help solve the myster y how species from very different branches of the evolutionary tree came to live together in such close harmony . The effect of eye contact between owners and their dogs is more meaningful than we thought. When your dog is gazing at you, she may not just be after your sandwich.78. In which way do the relationships between dogs and owners and the mother-child bond resemble?79. What does “that” refer to in the second line of the last paragraph?80. What is the general idea of the whole passage?81. Acco rding to the Takefumi Kikusi’s study, they saw both_____________ and ____________ between dogs and their owners when they are looking at each other.第II卷（共37分）I.

From the age of 8 I was allowed towalk from my home to the downtown library, housed above the police station. Once the librarian gave memy first membership card, I could enjoy a range of books, which started with Little House in the Big Woods.I was addicted instantly, and this love of libraries and reading would change my life, allowing me to oneday create a safe space for high-school kids, too.By the time I was in high school, I could read the authors that we were studying in class, including Charles Dickens, Mark Twain and Emily Bronte. During the summer months, I got caught up in Gone withthe Wind.When I studied English literature at university, I thought it was time to build my own library. For thenext 40 years, I continued to collect books. Until one day, I realized that all my books had become a partof the house, like wallpaper.Toward the end of my teaching career, I became a teacher-librarian at my old high school, where I hadfirst learned English literature. This position enabled me to regain my love and appreciation for libraries. I hada generous budget for my classes, so I searched for novels that would interest my teenage audience and hopefully spark a love of books. Fantasy, science-fiction, graphic novels -I bought almost any type of booksthat my students wanted to read. I bought sofas and comfortable chairs, turning the library into a safe public space, for everyone.In doing so, I realized that the library isn’ t just a place to do research. They are, in fact, pla an opportunity to connect with the past, present and future. All that is required is a tiny bit of curiosity.Libraries are places that should be full of life. They help us adjust to the world, and their doors must bekept open to everyone for free!CMost of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so -called disease “ spillover ” fro animals to humans.“ As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly,” said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National LaborNew Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunitiesfor disease spillover more frequent. “ Everythingis sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change,” Fair said.Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair’ s team at Los Alamos, a model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It’ s earl of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园） in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.“ We’ re going by the past data to really predict what’ s going to happen in the future,”anytime you increase that wildlife -human interface, that ’sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so,that’ s just increasing as we go forward.”Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University’ s public argues we don’ yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year.As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.DResearch indicates that some orchestral(管弦乐的 ) instruments are in danger of dying out. YouGov research, asked by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) to find the most popular instruments among schoolchildren, has revealed the increasing popularity of the ukulele ( 尤克里里琴 ),with one in eight expressing a desire to learn, making it the highest ranked instrument behind the typical rock-band groupingof the guitar, piano, keyboards, drums and bass guitar.But younger generations ’ interest in“ more complex instruments” is decreasing, with the popular being the French horn, the double bass and the trombone.James Williams, managing director of the RPO, believed the changes reflect the increasing pressure schools are under to provide music education, and went on to say that more needs to be done to interest secondary school students in the wider range of instruments. His concern was for the composition of future orchestras , should the trend towards instruments like rock-band grouping be allowed to continue. But theremay be yet another death, one that few would be quick to sorrow over: the recorder竖(笛 ).Cheap, convenient, easy to learn, and suitable for individual and group performances, the recorder was once the go-to instrument for children’ s early musical education. But in many schools it has been repla by the ukulele, which, for teachers, offers many of the same benefits with none of the lasting damage to hearing. Plus, from a student’ s viewpoint: you can play Metallica on one.Not all hope is lost for the cream -colored, 10-pound Yamaha recorder with a long history, however.About 13% of girls and 4% boys surveyed by YouGov said they wanted to learn the recorder. Surprisinglyhigh! Unlikely as it may be, these children’ s interest in the recorder must be inspired.三．七选五(5小题每题 2分计10分)How to keep yourself safe from new virus?After a new -type coronavirus was detected in viral pneumonia cases in Central China's Wuhan city amonth ago, more cases have been reported in recent days. _____46_____:1.Wear masks outdoors●Wearing a mask is one of the most effective ways to protect you from getting infected.●Make sure to wear it properly by tightening up the nose clip and pulling the bottom of it over your chin.●_____47_____, a mask is also needed to prevent you from spreadingerms to others.2.Cover your coughs and sneeze with tissue（纸巾）Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or you can cough or sneeze into yoursleeve, but avoid covering with your hands directly.3. _____48_____Wash your hands with soap and running water thoroughly for at least 15 seconds.●Before eating and after using the toilet●After returning home●After touching trash or garbage●After contacting with animals or handling animal wastes4.Strengthen your immune system and exercise regularly●Exercise regularly is one of the most important ways to help you stay away from catching any infections.● Make sure that shared spaces have good air flow and avoid going to crowdedplaces such ashospitals, railway stations and airports._____49_____.●Seek prompt(及时的 medical attention if you have symptoms of fever and respiratory infection.●Avoid close contact with people who have flu or cold-like symptoms.●_____50_____.

They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation.

The virtual life becomes more important than their real life.

Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said: “The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.”The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005. However, almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.29. From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are .A. a kind of medicineB. a kind of proteinC. a kind of illnessD. a kind of food30. According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs .A. are the most nutritious food.B. have no effect on blood cholesterolC. can be included in a healthy dietD. are forbidden to be eaten in the UK31. We can infer from the text that .A. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggsB. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseasesC. most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be droppedD. about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health32. The text is meant to .A. introduce scientific findings about eggsB. introduce a medicine made from eggsC. tell people how to lower their blood pressureD. advise people to eat as many eggs as possibleDWhether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.Effective leadership is one of the most important factors of good teamwork. The team’s leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s opinions.Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that settles them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself needs toshow these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative wo rds or behaviors on the leader’s part can be disastrous.Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.33.
