解析

举一反三

B
When I was a boy, my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city. And so he did.
When I was 16，Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he want to make one. He read about violinmaking，and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43. He bought the tools and materials，opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper，while he worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.
Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish(油漆)that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish—if that were the answer.
One of Dad’s friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce(云杉)，his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in.
He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad’s masterpiece. He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.
Later，the instrument was stolen. Dad’s spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.
My father has been gone for 14 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like Stradivarius.
45. The author mentions his father’s developing color prints____________.
A. to show that his father’s real interest was not in making violins
B. to prove that his father could do anything he wanted to
C. to give an example proving that his father was an inventor
D. to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father
46. What did the author"s father think about Stradivarius violins?
A. The varnish was different from the others.
B. The way of making them was special.
C. The wood of the violins was special.
D. They could only be analyzed by chemists.
47. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that the author’s father________.
A. 1iked the violin very much
B. got crazy after this happened
C. 1ost interest in instruments
D. didn"t want to become famous
48. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author __________ .
A. really hates the thief
B. misses his father a 1ot
C. really wants to play the violin
D. wonders who’s playing the violin now

A．The effects of flu and its symptoms
B．Types of virus to cause flu
C．People’s attitudes toward flu
D．The cause of flu
E．The way that flu spreads
F．The methods to fight flu

61.
Flu (which is short for influenza) is a highly infectious disease，the cause of which is a very tiny organism known as a virus．Several types of flu are recognized，depending on the type of virus that causes the disease．

62．
Flu Can often cause problems in breathing，and general infection of the lung．With elderly and weak people，these added complications often produce serious results．The virus, if not properly treated, can weaken the body so that patient may develop more serious illnesses，such as pneumonia and bronchitis．When people catch flu，they often complain of a headache or a sore throat．They usually have a fever and their temperature rises from the normal 37℃ (98.6℉) to about 39.5℃ (103℉)．Sometimes a person has a dry hacking cough and aching joints．

63．
Today many doctors use drugs that fight the disease．And scientists have also developed vaccines that help to prevent it．If the patient has proper treatment，and complete rest in bed，the virus is normally beaten within a week to ten days．

64．
How does flu spread so quickly? When the infected person breathes out．sneezes or coughs，he gives out droplets of moisture in the breath from his mouth or nose．These remain in the air for some time．Flu viruses are present in these droplets．If a person sneezes in a crowd or poorly ventilated place，such as a lift，viruses can easily be carried from all infected person to a healthy person．This is known as droplet infection．The healthy person will breathe in the viruses given out by the infected person．

65．
There are three main types of virus that cause flu，which are called type A, B and C. Type A is the most powerful of the three，and undergoes minor changes in its genetic material every few years．The new form of the virus is called a strain．The new strain is not affected by the current vaccines. It is said to be“resistant”to them．So doctors must be continually producing new vaccines to combat the new strains of virus．

Oprah Winfrey, the queen of American daytime talk TV, is considered one of the most powerful women in the world. Now, after 25 years’ hosting The Oprah Winfrey Show, the star has announced she is calling it quits.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the move “signals the beginning of the decline for the daytime talk show.” More women are working full-time jobs, and people are turning to cable (有线电视) and pre-recorded shows for their entertainment.
It may be that Oprah isn’t quitting so much as moving on. She has created the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), and will most likely move her show to the network. If audiences around the world need Oprah, they well know where to look.
Oprah Winfrey was born to a single teenage mother in a small town in rural Mississippi, US. As a child, she lived with poverty and abuse. But she got a job at a local radio station, where her honesty, emotional style won her many fans. She quickly rose through the ranks of radio and television before launching her own production company and starting her own show.
Oprah’s talk show was not the first of its kind, but it quickly became the best and most popular. It made talk shows popular, and others jumped in to start similar shows. But while other talk shows turned ugly, featuring guests who argued and attacked each other with chairs, Oprah rose above the mess.
“Part of her power lies in the fact that her life story resonates (产生共鸣) with her audience, as a kind of version of the American dream,” writes Kevin Connolly, a reporter with the BBC.
She became a star because of the way she opened up about her problems to her audience. She shared her own struggles with relationships and weight. She focused on self-help. Connolly believes “something in her honesty and her sometimes painfully emotional directness struck home with a certain type of American”.
60. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The stop of Oprah’s show reflects the decrease of audience.
B. Oprah hosted her showfor about 25 years.
C. American talk show was pioneered by Oprah.
D. Oprah used to be a radio presenter.
61. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Oprah could deal with the guests fighting very well.
B. Oprah’s show stood out with her unique style.
C. Oprah turned a deaf ear to other people’s quarrel.
D. Oprah’s fame rose because lots of people watch her show.
62. From Kevin Connolly, we know people like Oprah’s show for all the reasons EXCEPT ________.
A. Oprah always shares people’s life stories in her show
B. the audiences are touched by Oprah’s honesty and frankness
C. Oprah’s life story reflects the truth of American dream
D. some audiences are inspired by Oprah’s show
63. According to the text, Oprah ________.
A. always volunteers to help those who need help
B. has practiced presentational skills since she was young
C. believes that one should rely on himself to solve problems
D. calls on women to work full-time jobs
