Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 46 When a 13-year-old Virginia girl started sneezing, her parents thought it was merel

28、y 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 “put a clothes pin on her nose“ to “have her stand on her

29、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 surgery for, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment

30、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 modern psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too m

31、uch sneezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled; and he began to treat the gift 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 a

32、n 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 sneezes-a practice Dr. Kanner traces back to the anci

33、ent belief that a sneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit. Strangely, people the world over 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 cons

34、cious 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. 46 The girl sneezed continuously because she

35、 _. （ A） was ill （ B） was mentally ill （ C） had heavy mental burden （ D） had attracted world-wide attention 47 When the girl began to sneeze continuously, _. （ A） a lot of people offered their advice （ B） she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital （ C） she was given a treatment found in ancient superst

36、ition （ D） many doctors treated her in different ways 48 Dr. Kanner cured the girl by _. （ A） using Aristotles method （ B） giving her psychological treatment （ C） practicing superstition （ D） treating her tuberculosis 49 When a person sneezes, we say “God bless you“ because _. （ A） its a tradition （

37、 B） the person is possessed of an evil spirit （ C） the person is ill （ D） God will bless those who sneeze 50 According to scientists, people sneeze because_. （ 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 51 The

38、re 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 over the past deca

39、de, 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 scientists consider

40、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 temperature is raised

41、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 temperature-a result that would be

42、 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 government report drafted

43、 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 environment caused

44、 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? 51 As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _. （ A） caused widespread damage in the countryside （ B） a

45、ffected the entire eastern half of the United States （ C） had damaged effect on health （ D） existed merely in urban and industries areas 52 As to the greenhouse effect, the author _. （ A） shares the same view with the scientists （ B） is uncertain of its occurrence （ C） rejects it as being ungrounded

46、 （ D） thinks that it will destroy the world soon 53 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 54 It can be concluded that _. （ A） raising the worlds temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on

47、 earth （ B） lowering the worlds temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster （ C） almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade （ D） the worlds temperature will remain constant in the years to come 55 This passage is primarily about _. （ A） t

48、he greenhouse effect （ B） the burning of fossil fuels （ C） the potential effect of air pollution （ D） the likelihood of a new ice age 56 My 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 fa

49、cts 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 serious about this.
