But when the sneezes continued for hou
29、rs, they called in a doctor. Nearly two months later the girl was still sneezing, thousands of times a day, and her case had attracted worldwide attention.Hundreds of suggestions, ranging from “put a clothes pin on her nose“ to “have her stand on her head“ poured in. But nothing did any good. Finall
30、y, she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr. Leo Kanner, one of the worlds top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling (难以理解的) problem with great speed.He used neither drugs nor surgery, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in an ancient superstition about the amazing
31、bodily reaction we call the sneeze. It was all in her mind, he said, a view which Aristotle, some 3,000 years earlier, would have agreed with heartily.Dr. Kanner simply gave a modern psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too much sneezing was an indication that the spirit was troub
32、led; and he began to treat the girl accordingly.“Less than two days in a hospital room, a plan for better scholastic and vocational adjustment, and reassurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer to an ex-sneezer,“ he reported.Sneezing has always been a sub
33、ject of wonder, awe and puzzlement. Dr. Kanner has collected thousands of superstitions concerning it. The most universal one is the custom of begging for the blessing of God when a person sneezesa practice Dr. Kanner traces back to the ancient belief that a sneeze was an indication that the sneezer
34、 was possessed of an evil spirit. Strangely, people over the world still continue the custom with the traditional, “God bless you“ or its equivalent.When scientists look at the sneeze, they see a remarkable mechanism which, without any conscious help from you, takes on a job that has to be done. Whe
35、n you need to sneeze you sneeze, this being natures clever way of getting rid of an annoying object from the nose. The object may be just some dust in the nose which nature is striving to remove.（分数：10.00）(1).The girl sneezed continuously because she _. A. was ill B. was mentally ill C. had heavy me

A. they are ill B. to sneeze is human nature C. they do not need any conscious help D. there are unwanted things in their noses（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、BText 2/B
39、(总题数：1，分数：10.00)There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions
40、 over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some s
41、cientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect“conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds tem
42、perature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperaturea res
43、ult that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent governme
44、nt report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profit, people neglect the damage on our e
45、nvironment caused by the “advanced civilization“. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?（分数：10.00）(1).As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _. A. Caused widespread damage
46、in the countryside B. affected the entire eastern half of the United States C. had damaged effect on health D. existed merely in urban and industries areas（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).As to the greenhouse effect, the author _. A. shares the same view with the scientists B. is uncertain of its occurrence C.
47、rejects it as being ungrounded D. thinks that it will destroy the world soon（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The word “offset“ in the second paragraph could be replaced by _. A. slip into B. make up for C. set up D. catch up with（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be concluded that _. A. raising the worlds temperature only a few degrees would not do
