24、nia girl started sneezing, her parents thought it was merely a cold. But when the sneezes continued for hours, 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“
25、 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 the worlds top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling (难以理解的) problem with great speed.He used neither drugs nor sur
26、gery, 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, a view which Aristotle, some 3,000 years earlier, would have agreed with heartily.Dr. Kanner simply gave a modem psychologica
27、l interpretation to the ancient belief that too much sneezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled; 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 tube
28、rculosis 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 thousands of superstitions concerning it. The most universal one is the custom of begging for the blessing of God when a person sneeze
29、s-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 over the world still continue the custom with the traditional, “God bless you“ or its equivalent.When scientists look at the sneeze, they see
30、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 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

34、ngs in their noses（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.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 traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem i
35、s 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 major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire ear
36、th 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 “greenhouse effect“-conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature,
37、 ff 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.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlig
38、ht 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 or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these condit
39、ions 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 will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economi
40、c 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 really worthwhile?（分数：10.00）(1).As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think hat ai
41、r pollution _.Acaused widespread damage in the countrysideBaffected the entire eastern half of the United StatesChad damaged effect on healthDexisted merely in urban and industries areas（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).As to the greenhouse effect, the author _.Ashares the same view with the scientistsBis uncert
42、ain of its occurrenceCrejects it as being ungroundedDthinks 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 _.Aslip into Bmake up for Cset up Dcatch up with（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be concluded that _.Araising the worlds tempe
43、rature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earthBlowering the worlds temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disasterCalmost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decadeDthe worlds temperature will remain constant in the years to come（
44、分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).This passage is primarily about _.Athe greenhouse effect Bthe burning of fossil fuelsCthe potential effect of air pollution Dthe likelihood of a new ice age（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)My family and I recently returned from a trip to Alaska, a place that combines supe
45、rnatural 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 your adult life.WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THAT WILL TRY TO KILL YOU:Bears.I am quite serio
46、us about this. Although Alaska is now an official state in the United States with modern conveniences such as rental cars and frozen yogurt, it also allows a large number of admitted bears to stride freely, and nobody seems to be the least bit alarmed about this. In fact, the Alaskans seem to be pro
47、ud 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-bear hotel“. Both bears were standing on their hind legs and striking a pose that s
48、aid: “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 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 the chapter titles, which I am not making up:“Theyll Attack
