But when the sneezes continued for hours, they called in a doctor. Nearly two months later the girl was still s
23、neezing, 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. Finally, she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr. Leo Kanner, one of t
24、he worlds top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling (难以理解的) problem with great speed.He used neither drugs nor surgery for, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in an ancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze. It was all in her mind, he said,
25、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 troubled; and he began to treat the gift accordingly.“Less than two days i
26、n 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 subject of wonder, awe and puzzlement. Dr. Kanner has collected thousand
27、s of superstitions concerning it. The most universal one is the custom of begging for the blessing of God when a person sneezes-a practice Dr. Kanner traces back to the ancient belief that a sneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit. Strangely, people the world over s
28、till 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. When you need to sneeze you sneeze, this being natures clever way of ge
29、tting 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 _.（分数：2.00）A.was illB.was mentally illC.had heavy mental burdenD.had attracted world-wide attention(2).When the girl
30、began to sneeze continuously, _.（分数：2.00）A.a lot of people offered their adviceB.she was taken to Johns Hopkins HospitalC.she was given a treatment found in ancient superstitionD.many doctors treated her in different ways(3).Dr. Kanner cured the girl by _.（分数：2.00）A.using Aristotles methodB.giving h
31、er psychological treatmentC.practicing superstitionD.treating her tuberculosis(4).When a person sneezes, we say “God bless you“ because _.（分数：2.00）A.its a traditionB.the person is possessed of an evil spiritC.the person is illD.God will bless those who sneeze(5).According to scientists, people sneez
32、e because_.（分数：2.00）A.they are illB.to sneeze is human natureC.they do not need any conscious helpD.there are unwanted things in their noses八、Text 2(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 traf
33、fic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions 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
34、 major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil)is creating a
35、 “greenhouse effect“-conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature 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.
36、Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature-a result 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
37、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 government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies w
38、ill 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 environment caused by the “advanced civilization“. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it re
39、ally worthwhile?（分数：10.00）(1).As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _.（分数：2.00）A.caused widespread damage in the countrysideB.affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC.had damaged effect on healthD.existed merely in urban and industries
40、areas(2).As to the greenhouse effect, the author _.（分数：2.00）A.shares the same view with the scientistsB.is uncertain of its occurrenceC.rejects it as being ungroundedD.thinks that it will destroy the world soon(3).The word “offset“ in the second paragraph could be replaced by _.（分数：2.00）A.slip intoB
41、.make up forC.set upD.catch up with(4).it can be concluded that _.（分数：2.00）A.raising the worlds temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earthB.lowering the worlds temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disasterC.almost no temperature variatio
42、ns have occurred over the past decadeD.the worlds temperature will remain constant in the years to come(5).This passage is primarily about _.（分数：2.00）A.the greenhouse effectB.the burning of fossil fuelsC.the potential effect of air pollutionD.the likelihood of a new ice age九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)My
43、 family and I recently returned from a trip to Alaska, a place that combines supernatural beauty with a breathtaking amount of bear risks. Ill start with some facts at a glance:WHERE ALASKA IS: Way the hell far from you. Beyond Mars.HOW YOU GET THERE: You sit in a variety of airplanes for most of yo
44、ur adult life.WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THAT WILL TRY TO KILL YOU: Bears.I am quite serious about this. Although Alaska is now an official state in the United States with modem conveniences such as rental cars and frozen yogurt, it also allows a large number of admitted bears to stride freely, and nobody
45、 seems to be the least bit alarmed about this. In fact, the Alaskans seem to be proud of it. You walk into a hotel or department store, and the first thing you see is a glass case containing a stuffed bear the size of a real one. Our hotel had two of these. It was what we travel writers call “a two-
46、bear hotel“. Both bears were standing on their hind legs and striking a pose that said: “Welcome to Alaska! Im going to tear your arms off!“This struck me as an odd concept, greeting visitors with a showcase containing a major local hazard. Its as if an anti-drug organization went around setting up
47、glass display cases containing stuffed drug smugglers(走私者), with little plaques (胸章)stating how much they weighed and where they were taken.Anyway, we decided the best way to deal with our fear of bears was to become well informed about them, so we bought a book, Alaska Bear Tales. Here are some of
48、the chapter titles, which I am not making up:“Theyll Attack Without Warning“Theyll Really Attack You“They Will Kill“Come Quick Im Being Eaten by a Bear!“They Can Be Funny“Ha-ha! I bet they can. I bet Mr. and Mrs. Bear will fight playfully over the remaining portion of a former tourist plumped up by
49、airline food. But just the same, Im glad that the only actual bears that we saw were in the zoo.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the tone of the story?（分数：2.00）A.Serious.B.Complex.C.Comic.D.Disapproving.(2).Which of the following is the author in favour of?（分数：2.00）A.Airline food.B.Drug smugglers.C.Bears.D.Bears in zoos.(3).Why does the author mention stuffed drug smugglers?（分数：2.00）A.Because they can attack without warning just like bears.B.Because they are used to give warnings to visito
