Unit 2 Growing pains一、阅读理解A new study has found the amount of antibiotics given to farm animals is expected to increase by two­thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to rising demand for meat, milk and eggs. The researchers warn the drugs could quicken the development ofantibiotics­resistant (耐抗生素的)infections. Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better,rather than earn more money. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat. Increasing prosperity in Asia has meant people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and dairy products as they did 50 years ago.To meet that demand, farms have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together, often the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. It’s clear that antibi otics help animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually, and the antibiotics-resistant bacteria can spread to people.Doctors find that antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer do. The bacteria have learned ways to fight the medicine. Doctors say the heavy use of antibiotics in animals is one of several reasons for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year. At least 23,000 die from an infection.Ramanan Laxminarayan heads the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy. He says the problem is expected to get worse. He believes the use of antibiotics in animals will soon increase sharply. He says that will not be good for human health. He and other researchers wrote a report on the study, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They used datafrom the United Nations that tell how and where livestock(牲畜) are raised today. They then predicted how such production would change by 2030.Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And she adds the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to keep farm animals healthy.B.The abuse of antibiotics in human beings.C.A new way of raising farm animals.D.The disadvantages of using antibiotics.2.From he passage, we can infer that using antibiotics too often in farm animals ______.A.will lead to animals' being less activeB.causes animals to get infected more easilyC.makes antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to peopleD.has a negative effect on the growth of animals3.What accounts for the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals?A.The increasing need for meat.B.The need for eating diversely.C.The less effective antibiotics.D.The limited farm technology.4.How will the use of antibiotics in animals according to Ramanan Laxminarayan?A.It will soon stop rising.B.It will soon increase sharply.C.It will soon rise steadily.D.It will soon increase slowly.参考答案： 1.D; 2.C; 3.A; 4.B解析： 1.[纵观全文便知,文章主要介绍了人们使用抗生素来饲养家畜带来的缺点。

Unit 2 Growing pains一、阅读理解My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that com fort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon（三项全能）.On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soo n and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.1.Kelly is nervous when ________.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that______.A. the race began in the early morningB. Kelly was eager for her turn in the raceC. the whole family gave Kelly supportD. her brother’s birthday party w as delayed.3.In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day” becauseKelly________.A. Took part in the sportB. Expressed love to herC. Won the gold medalD. Changed completely4.What kind of person do you think Kelly is?A. Timid and determinedB. Cute and confidentC. Fearful and energeticD. Sociable and brave【文章大意】本文讲述了“我”的女儿Kelly是个慢热型的人，和陌生人在一起她会很紧张很害羞，看到女儿赢得奖牌是作为父母最大的荣耀。
