Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu (流感) may make a difference in how long the misery lasts. The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu, and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That’s because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come. The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses—flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA. But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for. Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms. The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms. Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome (综合症)，a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system. There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one. According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help（）
- A、shorten the duration of the illness
- B、the patient buy medicine over the counter
- C、the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugs
- D、prevent people from catching colds and the flu

Tiny Invaders
The human body is truly amazing.It allows us to sense the world around us,to do work and have fun,and to move from place to place.In fact,the human body does its work so well that most people don't think about it very much一until they get sick.
The germs（致病菌）that make people sick are everywhere.You can't see them, but they're there.They're sitting on your desk.They're hiding on your computer's keyboard.They're even in the air that you are breathing.There are two types of germs:viruses and bacteria（细菌）.Viruses are germs that can only live inside animals or plants.Viruses cause illnesses such as flu and measles（麻疹）.Bacteria are tiny creatures.Some bacteria are good.They can help your stomach break down food.Other bacteria aren't so good.They can make you sick.Bacteria can cause sore throats（喉痛）and ear infections.
How can you stop these tiny invaders from making you sick?Your skin is the first de-fense against germs.You can prevent some illnesses simply by washing,with soap and wa-ter.But germs can still enter the body through small cuts in the skin or through the mouth, eyes,and nose.
Once germs are inside your body, your immune（免疫的）system tries to protect you.It looks for and destroys germs.How does it do that?Special cells patrol your body.Some of these cells actually eat germs!Other cells make antibodies.An antibody sticks to a germ.There is a different antibody for each kind of germ.Some antibodies keep germs from making you sick.Others help your body find and kill germs.After a germ is destroyed,the antibodies stay in your body.They protect you if the same kind of germ comes back.That way you will not get the same illness twice.
You can keep your body healthy by eating a nutritious（有营养的）diet to make your immune system strong.You can also help your immune system fight germs by getting vaccinated（接种）.Vaccines are medicines.They contain germs that have been killed or weakened.
The dead germs can't make you sick.Instead,they cause your body to make antibodies.If the same germ ever shows up again,then your antibodies attack it.All bacteria cause illnesses.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：阅读下面这篇短文，短文后列出了七个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断。如果该句提供的是正确信息，请选择A；如果该句提供的是错误信息，请选择B；如果该句的信息文章中没有提及，请选择C。
【解析】
题干意为“病毒只存活于动物或者植物的体内。”关键词为inside，在……之内；people or animals，动物或植物。根据关键词到文中找相关句为第二段第七句“Viruses are germs that can only live inside animals or plants.”，由此表明病毒是只能存活于动物或植物体内的致病菌。因此题干错误，故选B项。
题干意为“所有的细菌都会导致生病。”从常识上来讲，一般比较绝对的说法都是错误的。第二段倒数第五句“Some bacteria are good.”明确说明，一些细菌是好的。所以选B。
题干意为“清洗皮肤可以避免一些疾病。”以wash为关键词到文中去寻找关键句。由第三段第二、三句“Your skin is the first defense against germs.You can prevent some illnesses simply by washing, with soap and water.”可知可以简单地通过用水和香皂清洗来预防一些疾病。可见题干表述是正确的。故选A。
题干意为“细菌可以通过眼睛进入体内。”我们以eyes作为关键字回文中找相关表述。第三段最后一句为“But germs can still enter the body through small cuts in the skin or through the mouth, eyes, and nose.”由此可知，细菌可以通过口眼鼻等途径进入体内。所以题干表述正确，选A。
题干意为“心脏有体内最强健的肌肉。”全文根本没有提及过muscle (肌肉）的话题。所以本题选C。
题干意为“杀死细菌后，抗体留在体内。”此题可以以kill, antibodies和stay 这三个关键字中的任一个到文中查找到相关句为第四段倒数第三句：“After a germ is de-stroyed, the antibodies stay in your body.”由此可见题干表述正确，所以本题选A。
题干意为“疫苗会让你生病。”最后一段讲的是Vaccines (疫苗）的相关话题。由本段第三、四、五句“Vaccines are medicines.They contain germs that have been killed or weakened.The dead germs can't make you sick.”可知疫苗是死的或者弱化的细菌，不会致病。所以题干的表述是错的。故本题选B。 -

Warm People Likely to Keep Cold at Bay
Staying positive through the cold season could be your best defense against getting ill,new study findings suggest.In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus,researchers found that people with a generally sunny disposition were less likely to fall ill.
The findings,published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,build on evidence that a"positive emotional style"can help ward off the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness boosting immune function and subjective as in happy people being less troubled by a scratchy throat or runny nose?
"People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,"explained lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh."And when they do get a cold,they may interpret their illness as being less severe."
Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less susceptible to catching a cold,but some questions remained as to whether the emotional trait itself had the effect.
For the new study,the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality traits,self-perceived health and emotional"style".Those who tended to be happy,energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style,while those who were often unhappy,tense and hostile had a negative style.
The researchers gave them nasal drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus.Over the next six days,the volunteers reported on any aches,pains,sneezing or congestion they had,while the researchers collected objective data,like daily mucus production.Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes,happy people were less likely to develop a cold.Researchers believed that people who were happy, energetic and easy一going had stronger immune function.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：由文章第一段第二句的后半部分“…researchersfoundthatpeoplewithagenerallysunnydispositionwerelesslikelytofallill.”可知，性格阳光的人不太容易生病，但不是对疾病免疫。
由文章第四段，"…happierpeopleseemedlesssusceptibletocatchingacold…”可知，快乐的人更不易感冒。
由文章第六段最后一句可知，科恩和同事根据由鼻涕化验结果而得出的客观的测验数据而非主观测验发现，乐观的人患感冒的几率更小。
由文章第五段第二句可知，这些研究对象中既包括积极乐观的人，也包括悲观的人。
由文章第二段第一句可知，积极的情绪类型有助于预防感冒和其他疾病。
由文章第二段第二句可知，研究者相信快乐能够增强人的免疫系统。
文章中并未提及家庭和个人情绪类型的关系，因此本题答案为C。 -

问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in as few words as possible (not more than 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage. Many people today are worried about bird flu. They are afraid that it will pass from birds to humans and that thousands of people will die in a pandemic. In 1918 a flu virus killed about 50 million people around the world. The virus was called Spanish influenza (or Spanish flu, for short) because Spanish newspapers first described the disease. Now, after nine years of work, scientists in an American laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia, have produced a copy of the Spanish flu virus. They are also going to publish the genetic sequence of the virus on the Internet and some experts are afraid that other laboratories could copy the virus. Scientists have copied the virus because they want to understand why the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic killed so many people. In a report in the journal Science, Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger and a team of scientists in the USA show that the copied virus is extremely powerful. The scientists injected the virus into mice and the mice began to lose weight very quickly. They lost 13% of their weight in two days and all of the mice died within six days. “I didn’t expect it to be as lethal as it was,”Dr. Terrence Tumpey, one of the scientists in the team, told the journal Nature. In another experiment, they injected more mice with a normal type of flu. The mice lost weight at first but then they got better and did not die. The experiments showed that the mice with the Spanish flu virus had 39,000 times more flu virus in their bodies than the second group of mice. The scientists who copied the virus say their work has already provided important information about the virus and helps to explain why it is so lethal. But other experts are worried that the virus could escape from the laboratory. “Some people will think that they have really created a biological weapon,” said Professor Ronald Atlas of the University of Louisville in Kentucky. “I am even more worried now than I was before about the possibility of a flu pandemic. The 1918 flu pandemic started with bird flu and that might happen again today with Asian bird flu.” Some scientists are worried about the publication of the genetic sequence on the Internet. They are afraid that biologists could copy the virus using the information on the Internet. This could be very dangerous. It took a long time to copy the virus. Scientists used material taken from the lungs of people who died from the flu virus in 1918. In a second report in Nature, Taubenberger and his colleagues analyzed the genetic make-up of the virus. They were surprised to find that it was completely different from all the normal human flu viruses. This probably means that Spanish flu jumped from birds to humans and did not mix with a human virus first. This is very worrying for scientists because in the past everyone believed that a pandemic was only possible if a bird flu virus mixed with a human flu virus. Taubenberger says it is very important to know what changes in the virus caused the 1918 Spanish flu virus. This will help scientists to work out which viruses might cause a pandemic. The H5N1 bird flu in Asia is already changing and it could infect humans, he said. Viruses have escaped from high-security labs before. The SARS virus escaped at least twice, once in Taiwan and once in Singapore. But some scientists believe a pandemic will not happen even if the virus escapes, because most people are naturally immune and there are now a lot of drugs which protect people from flu. Questions: 1．When was the Spanish flu pandemic? 2．How many people died in the Spanish flu pandemic? 3．Where did the scientists produce a copy of the Spanish flu virus? 4．How quickly did the laboratory mice die? 5．What is H5N1?正确答案：
1.1918年 文章第一段提到In 1918 a flu virus killed about 50 million people around the world. The virus was called Spanish influenza.
2.About 50 million. 文章第一段提到flu virus killed about 50 million people.
3.Atlanta, Georgia, USA (in a laboratory). 文章第一段提到scientists in an American laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia, have produced a copy of the Spanish flu virus.
4.Within 6 days. 文章第二段最后一句提到mice died within six days .
5.A bird flu virus. 文章倒数第二段最后一句提到The H5N1 bird flu in Asia.解析： 暂无解析 -

Warm People Likely to Keep Cold at Bay
Staying positive through the cold season could be your best defense against getting ill,new study findings suggest.In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus,researchers found that people with a generally sunny disposition were less likely to fall ill.
The findings,published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,build on evidence that a"positive emotional style"can help ward off the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness boosting immune function and subjective as in happy people being less troubled by a scratchy throat or runny nose?
"People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,"explained lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh."And when they do get a cold,they may interpret their illness as being less severe."
Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less susceptible to catching a cold,but some questions remained as to whether the emotional trait itself had the effect.
For the new study,the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality traits,self-perceived health and emotional"style".Those who tended to be happy,energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style,while those who were often unhappy,tense and hostile had a negative style.
The researchers gave them nasal drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus.Over the next six days,the volunteers reported on any aches,pains,sneezing or congestion they had,while the researchers collected objective data,like daily mucus production.Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes,happy people were less likely to develop a cold.The study inferred that there's no relations between positive emotional style and getting cold.

第19题：
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu (流感) may make a difference in how long the misery lasts. The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu, and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That’s because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come. The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses—flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA. But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for. Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms. The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms. Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome (综合症)，a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system. There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one. According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help（）
- A、shorten the duration of the illness
- B、the patient buy medicine over the counter
- C、the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugs
- D、prevent people from catching colds and the flu
正确答案:A -
