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 -- 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（細菌）.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 defense against germs. You can prevent some illnesses simply by washing, with soap and water. 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（有營養(yǎng)的）diet to make your immune system strong. You can also help your immune system fight germs by getting vaccinated（接種）.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.

　　16. Viruses can only live inside people or animals.

　　A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

　　17. All bacteria cause illnesses.

　　A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

　　18. Washing your skin can prevent some illnesses.

　　A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

　　19. Germs can enter the body through the eyes.

　　A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

　　20. The heart contains the body's strongest muscle.

　　A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

　　21. After they kill germs, antibodies stay in the body.

　　A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

　　22. Vaccines can make you sick.

　　A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

　　第3部分：概括大意與完成句子 (第23-30題，每題l分，共8分)

　　下面的短文后有2項測試任務：(1)第23—26題要求從所給的6個選項中為第1-4段每段選擇1個最佳標題；(2)第27～30題要求從所給的6個選項中為每個句子確定1個最佳選項.

Multiple Sclerosis（多發(fā)性硬化癥）

　　1 Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the patient's immune（免疫的）system attacks the central nervous system. This can lead to numerous physical and mental symptoms, as the disease affects the transmission of electrical signals between the body and the brain. However, the human body, being a flexible, adaptable system, can compensate for some level of damage, so a person with MS can look and feel fine even though the disease is present.

　　2 MS patients can have one of two main varieties of the disease: the relapsing form （復發(fā)型）and the primary progressive form. In the relapsing form, the disease progresses in a series of jumps; at times it is in remission（減輕）.which means that a person's normal functions return for a period of time before the system goes into relapse and the disease again becomes more active. This is the most common form of MS; 80-90% of people have this form of the disease when they are first diagnosed. The relapse-remission cycle can continue for many years. Eventually, however, Ioss of physical and cognitive functions starts to take place and the remissions become less frequent.

　　3 In the primary progressive form of MS, there are no remissions and a continual but steady loss of physical and cognitive functions takes place. This condition affects about 10-15% of sufferers at diagnosis.

　　4 The expected course of the disease, or prognosis（預后）,depends on many variables: the subtype of the disease, the patient's individual characteristics and the initial symptoms. Life expectancy of patients, however, is often nearly the same as that of an unaffected person - provided that a reasonable standard of care is received. In some cases a near-normal life span is possible.

　　5 The cause of the disease is unclear; it seems that some people have a genetic Susceptibility（易感性）,which is triggered by some unknown environmental factor. Onset（發(fā)作）of the disease usually occurs in young adults between the ages of 20 and 40.It is more common in women than men; however, it has also been diagnosed in young children and in elderly people.

　　23. Paragraph 1___ ___

　　24. Paragraph 2 ______

　　25. Paragraph 3______

　　26. Paragraph 4______

　　A. The relapsing form of MS

　　B. The cause of MS

　　C. The primary progressive form of MS

　　D. The definition of MS

　　E. The development of MS

　　F. The treatment for MS

　　27. MS affects the communication of nerve cells between the body and ______

　　28. An MS patient can feel fine for years without being affected much by ______

　　29. 10-15% of MS patients are diagnosed as having ______

　　30. Young adults might have a higher chance of developing the disease than ______

　　A. the elderly people

　　B. relatives of MS patients

　　C. the progressive form

　　D. the brain

　　E. life expectancy

　　F. the disease

　　第4部分：閱讀理解 (第31-45題，每題3分，共45分)．

　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題.請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，為每題確定l個最佳選項.

Genetic Engineering

　　Genetic engineering began when the DNA molecule(分子), the most basic unit of life, was first described in 1953 by James Watson and Francis Crick. An understanding of DNA led to the altering of normal cell reproduction. Experiments with altering human cells began in 1970. In one of the first experiments, patients were injected with a virus that would produce a life-saving enzyme, but their bodies would not accept it. In 1980 patients with a rare but fatal blood disease were injected with a purified gene that was cloned through DNA technology. Another failure.

　　Genetic engineering got a legal boost(激勵) in 1980. The U.S. Supreme Court said that a patent could be granted on a genetically engineered "oil-eating" bacterium(細菌). This bacterium would help clean up oil spills. The ruling encouraged companies to invent new life forms, and three important medical products were quickly developed.

　　l Human interferon(干擾素)-- a possible solution to some cancers and viral disease. A newly engineered bacterium produced human interferon as a by-product. This new product reduced the cost of interferon.

　　l Human growth hormone-- for children whose bodies do not grow to normal height. An expensive growth hormone(荷爾蒙) was previously produced from human cadavers, but by changing the genetic make-up of the single-cell bacterium E. coli, and affordable growth hormone could be produced.

　　l Human insulin(胰島素)-- for the treatment of diabetes. People with diabetes used to rely on a beef- or pork-based product until 1982. Now insulin can be manufactured by genetically altered bacteria.

　　Advances in genetic engineering have continued, though they constantly must be weighed against the safety of procedures. There is clearly much more to discover.

　　31. This passage is mainly about

　　A. the human growth hormone.

　　B. the effects of altering cells.

　　C. insulin resistance.

　　D. U.S. Supreme Court rulings.

　　32. Genetic engineering may be defined as

　　A. the altering of normal cell reproduction

　　B. a branch of applied chemistry.

　　C. a procedure that holds little promise.

　　D. a study on life-saving enzymes.

　　33. According to the passage, human interferon

　　A. is a hormone that causes disease.

　　B. could be used to treat cancer.

　　C. is a viral disease

　　D. has been cured

　　34. In this passage, the three genetically engineered medical products are presented

　　A. as a process.

　　B. from earliest to latest.

　　C. in a simple list.

　　D. as a story.

　　35. In the last paragraph, the word "weighed" has the closest meaning with

　　A. had great influence

　　B. became a burden.

　　C. measured accurately.

　　D. considered carefully.

第二章 New Attempts to Eradicate AIDS Virus

　　An attempts to Eradicate AIDS Virus high-profile attempt to eradicatethe AIDS virus in a few patients continues to show promise.

　　But researchers won’t know for a year or more whether it will work. , scientist David Ho told journalists here Wednesday for the Fourth Conference in Viruses and infections.

　　“This is a study that’s in progress,” says Ho, head of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, New York.

　　The study involves 20 people who started combinations of anti-HIV drugs very early in the course of the disease, within 90 days of their infections. They’ve been treated for up to 18 months. Four others have dropped out because of side effects or problems complying with the exacting drug system.

　　The drugs have knocked the AIDS virus down to undetectable levels in the blood of all remaining patients. And, in the latest development, scientists have now tested lymph nodes and semen from a few patients and found no virus reproducing there, Ho says. “Bear in mind that undetectable does not equal absent，”He says.

　　He has calculated that the drugs should be able to wipe out remaining viruses—at least from known reservoirs throughout the body—in two to three years. But the only way to prove eradication would be to stop the drugs and see if the virus comes back. On Wednesday, Ho said he wouldn’t ask any patient to consider that step before 21/2 years of treatment.

　　And he emphasized that he is not urging widespread adoption of such early, aggressive treatment outside of trials. No one knows the long-term risks.

　　But other scientists are looking at similar experiments. A federally funded study will put 300 patients on triple-drug treatments and then see if some responding well after six months can continue to suppress the virus on just one or two drugs, says researcher Douglas Richman of the University of California, San Diego. Some patients in that study also may be offered the chance to stop therapy after 18 months or more, he says.

　　36. According to the passage, the attempt to eradicate the AIDS virus

　　A.hasn’t been made seriously

　　B. continues to show promise

　　C. is appreciated by California University

　　D.will be successful in two and a half years

　　37.Which is NOT true about Ho’s study?

　　A. 20 patients were involved in the study

　　B. The patients have used several anti-HIV drugs

　　C. The patients have been treated for up to 18months

　　D. 16 patients withdrew from the experiment

　　38.By saying “Bear in mind undetectable does not equal absent “.Ho means

　　A. AIDS virus may exist in the blood without being detected

　　B. AIDS virus is undetectable in the blood.

　　C. No AIDS virus can be detected in the blood.

　　D. No virus found in the blood means no AIDS.

　　39. How do we prove that the drugs have wiped out the remaining viruses?

　　A. By using up all the drugs at once

　　B. By waiting for the virus to die slowly

　　C. By analyzing the treatment record thoroughly

　　D. By stopping the drugs and see if the virus comes back

　　40. Other scientists are looking at experiments that are similar in that they are

　　A. the size of the experiment

　　B. the cost of the experiment

　　C. the time the experiment takes

　　D. the ways the patients are treated

第三篇 Gross National Happiness

　　In the last century, new technology improved the lives of many people in many countries. However, one country resisted these changes. High in the Himalayan mountains of Asia, the kingdom of Bhutan remained separate. Its people and Buddhist(佛教)culture had not been affected for almost a thousand years. Bhutan, however, was a poor country. People died at a young age. Most of its people could not read, and they did not know much about the outside world. Then, in 1972, a new ruler named King Jigme Singye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to become modern, but without losing its traditions.

　　King Wangchuck looked at other countries for ideas. He saw that most countries measured their progress by their Gross Natonal Product(GNP). The GNP measures products and money. When the number of products sold increases, people say the country is making progress. King Wangchuck had a different idea for Bhutan. He wanted to measure his country’s progress by people’s happiness. If the people’s happiness increased, the king could say that Bhutan was making progress. To decide if people were happier, he created a measure called Gross National Happiness(GNH).

　　GNH is based on certain principles that create happiness. People are happier if they have health care, education, and jobs. They are happier when they live in a healthy, protected environment. They are happier when they can keep their traditional culture and customs. Finally, people are happier when they have a good, stable government.

　　Now there is some evidence of increased GNH in Bhutan. People are healthier and are living longer. More people are educated and employed. Teenty-five percent of the land has become national parks, and the country has almost no pollution. The Bhutanese continue to wear their traditional clothing and follow their ancient Buddhist customs. Bhutan has also become a democracy. In 2008, King Wangchuck gave his power to his son. Although the country still had a king, it held its first democratic elections that year. Bhutan had political parties and political candidates for the first time. Finally, Bhutan has connected to the rest of the world through television and internet.

　　Bhutan is a symbol for social progress. Many countries are now interested in Bhutan’s GNH. These countries are investigating their own ways to measure happiness. They want to create new policies that take care of their people, cultures, and land.

　　Brazil may be the nest country to use the principles of GNH. Brazilian leaders see the principles of GNH as a source of inspiration. Brazil is a large country with a diverse population. If happiness works as a measure of progress in Brazil, perhaps the rest of the world will follow.

　　41. Who was Jigme Singye Wangchuck?

　　A. A president.

　　B. A Buddhist priest.

　　C. A king.

　　D. A general.

　　42. Apart from modernizing Bhutan, what else did Wangchuck want to do for Bhutan?

　　A. To make its population grow.

　　B. To keep it separate from the world.

　　C. To encourage its people to get rich.

　　D. To keep its traditions and customs.

　　43. A country shows its progress with GNP by

　　A. spending more money.

　　B. spending less money.

　　C. selling more products.

　　D. providing more jobs.

　　44. According to GNH, people are happier if they

　　A. have new technology.

　　B. have a good, stable government.

　　C. can change their religion.

　　D. have more money.

　　45. Today many countries are

　　A. trying to find their own ways to measure happiness.

　　B. using the principles of GNH to measure their progress.

　　C. working together to develop a common scale to measure GNH.

　　D. taking both Bhutan and Brazil as symbols for social progress.

Voice your opinion: change is needed in youth sports

　　Everywhere you look，you see kids bouncing a basketball or waving a tennis racquet (網(wǎng)球拍). and these kids are getting younger and younger. in some countries， children can compete on basketball， baseball， and volleyball teams starting at age nine. (46)and swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age four， to prepare children for competition.

　　It’s true that a few of these kids will develop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of the national Olympic teams. (47) this emphasis on competition in sports is having serious negative effects.

(50) Excessive competitive away all the enjoyment.

　　We need to remember the purpose of youth sports -- to give kids a chance to have developing strong， healthy bodies.

　　A. A survey found that 79 percent of parents of young athletes wanted their children to concentrate on one sports.

　　B. Many of them completely lose interest in sports.

　　C. Very young kids don't know why their parents are pushing them so hard.

Old And Active

　　It is well—known that life expectancy is longer in Japan than in most other countries. A 51 report also shows that Japan has the longest health expectancy in the world．A healthy long life is the result of the 52 in social environment.

　　Scientists are trying to work 53 exactly what keeps elderly Japanese people so healthy, and whether there is a lesson to be 54 from their lifestyles for the rest of us. Should we 55 any changes to our eating habits, for instance, or go jogging each day before breakfast? Is there some secret ingredient is the Japanese diet 56 is particularly beneficial 57 the human body?

　　Another factor contributing to the rapid population aging in Japan is a 58 in birthrate．Although longer 59 should be celebrated, it is actually considered a social problem．The 60 of older people had doubled in the last half century and that has increased pension and medical costs．The country could soon be 61 an economic problem, if there are so many old people to be looked 62 and relatively few younger people working and paying taxes to support them．

　　63 the retirement age from 65 to 70 could be one solution to the problem. Work can give the elderly a 64 of responsibility and mission in life. It’s important that the elderly play active 65 in the society and live in harmony with all generations.
