People often fall ill because of me. 36 , they can hardly blame me; it is largely their own 37  . A tired person may get 38  , especially when he goes to crowded places with polluted air. A sudden change in 39  is another factor. In hot summer, people turn on the air-conditioner upon returning home. They will catch a cold easily.
My latest victim is an energetic student. After school, he played football hard for two hours. Though 40 , he still went to the cinema .Then he got back home and took a cold shower immediately.
I seized this golden chance to 41  him .He reacted, trying to 42  me , but I was already 43  deep in his throat. He kept sneezing(打喷嚏) and his nose was running. 44  he put on some warm clothes, it didn’t work, for there were too many of us. Besides, his sore throat kept 45  him, and he developed a cough to force me and my family out, but   46  .
The next day he couldn’t go to 47 . He had lost his appetite and was not as 48  as before. His mother made him orange juice every few hours for more vitamin C, which would help his 49
For two days he was   50  by his mother. As he rested more, his defense strengthened and I began to feel the   51 . I knew I had to   52  him before long. But I am not the one who gives up easily, and I made every effort to fight back. 53 , it was my turn to feel   54 now, for his defense system was starting an all-out attack against me. I became  55  and finally my time was over.

试题分析:本文使用了拟人的手法,从第一人称“我”的角度讲述了人体感冒的起因以及发病过程等。从文中讲述的事例可以看出,人体感冒大多数情况下是由于自身不正确的做法所造成的,所以为了健康我们必须养成好的生活习惯。
小题1:C副词辨析。A 因此;B此外;C 然而;D然后。上句讲人因“我”而病,下句说人们却不怪“我”,很显然此处是转折关系,故C选项正确。人们经常因为我而生病,但是很少责怪我。
小题2:D名词辨析。A 生意;B 责任;C借口;D过错。由于人们生活中错误的做法导致生病感冒,是他们自身的过错、过失,所以此处填fault,正确选项为D。那很大程度上是他们自己的过错。
小题3:C动词辨析。A惩罚;B责备;C 逮住;染疾D ***死。从上下文可知此处指人们得病,所以是受到疾病的侵袭,C选项正确。
小题4:A名词辨析。A 温度;B 季节;C 地方;D 状况,条件。从下文叙述In hot summer, people turn on the air-conditioner upon returning home.可知此处指的是温度的变化。
小题5:D形容词辨析。A 激动的,兴奋的;B 受伤的;C 迟到的;D 疲惫的。上句讲he played football hard for two hours,由情理可知卖力气得踢2个小时的足球肯定是感到累,所以D选项正确。
小题6:C动词辨析。A使。。。受伤;B 麻烦;C 攻击;袭击D 毁灭。从上下文可知此处指病毒趁机侵袭人体,所以C选项正确。
小题7:B短语辨析。A 与。。。相处;B 除掉;C 忍受;D 抓住。根据常识可知,人们患病后人体会自动产生抗体来抵制病毒,所以正确选项为B。
小题8:A动词辨析。A 繁殖;B 等待;C 隐藏;D 消失。下文讲孩子的病症加重了,由此可知是病毒迅速繁殖导致的,故A选项正确。
小题9:D连词辨析。A 既然,自从;B 一旦;C 是否,无论;D 尽管。从下文it didn’t work,判断此处应该是表示前后转折的连词,所以D为正确选项。句意:尽管他穿上暖和的衣服也不起作用了,因为体内病毒太多了。
小题10:B动词辨析。A 提醒;B 困扰;使人心烦意乱;C 安慰;D 影响。根据常识可知人体感冒后嗓子疼是让人烦,使人不舒服的事情,所以B选项正确。
小题11:D动词辨析。A 逃避,逃脱;B 成功;C 后悔;D 失败。下文叙述孩子的病情加重了,没了食欲,由此可知咳嗽等人体的正常反应没起作用。所以D选项正确。
小题12:C名词辨析。A 床;B 工作;C 学校;D 医院。从上文After school,判断应该是病厉害了不能上学。C为正确选项。
小题13:C形容词辨析。A 和平的;B 害怕的;C 积极的;D 高兴地。从常识可知人感冒后不愿活动,而且上文讲孩子没感冒前踢足球,所以此处选C选项。意思是孩子失去食欲,不如以前活跃了。
小题14:A名词辨析。A 恢复;B 发展;C 学习;D 影响。Vc是增强人体免疫力的,从常识可知服用Vc是为了人体病后尽快康复,所以A选项正确。
小题15:B动词辨析。A 保护;B 护理;C 责备;D 影响。从情理可知孩子生病后母亲应该是精心护理,所以B选项正确,母亲两天来精心照料他。
小题16:C名词辨析。A 损失;B 手术;C 压力;D 运动。上句讲人体的免疫力增强了,对病毒的抵抗力也增强了,所以病毒感到的是生存的压力,所以C选项正确。
小题17:A动词辨析。A 离开;B捉住;C 忘记;D 打,击。从常识可知人体免疫力增强后,病就慢慢好了,所以病毒也就消失了。故此处用leave ,答案选A。
小题18:D副词辨析。A不确定地;B 不公平地;C 不寻常地;D不幸地。从上下文语境可知“我”这个病毒战败了,对病毒来说是不幸的,所以填D,
小题19:A形容词辨析。A痛苦的;B 疲惫的;C 紧张的;D 感到羞愧的。从语境it was my turn 判断以前感冒时候孩子感到难受,现在是轮到“我”痛苦了,故A选项正确。
小题20:B形容词辨析。A更大;B 更弱;C 更小;D 更强壮。从上文可知人体免疫力发起全面进攻,抵制病毒,所以此处是病毒力量减弱,故B为正确选项。

The computer keyboard helped kill shorthand---a system of rapid handwriting, and now it"s threatening to finish off handwriting as a whole. When handwritten essays were introduced on the SAT exams for the class of 2011, just 15% of the most 1.5 million students wrote their answers in cursive (草写字母).The rest? Block letters.
And those college hopefuls are just the first edge of a wave of US students who no longer get much handwriting instructions in the primary grades, frequently 10 minutes a day or less. As a result, more and more students struggle to read and write cursive.
At Keene Mill Elementary School in Springfield, all their poems and stories are typed. Children in Fairfax County schools are taught keyboarding beginning in kindergarten. Older students who never mastered handwriting say it doesn"t affect their grades.
There are those who say the culture is at a crossing, turning from the written word to the typed one. If handwriting becomes a lost form of communication, does it matter?
It was at University of Virginia that researchers recently discovered a previously unknown poem by Robert, written in his unique script. Handwritten documents are more valuable to researchers, historians say, because their authenticity (真实性)can be confirmed. Students also find them more fascinating.
The loss of handwriting also may be a cognitive (认知的)opportunity missed. Several academic studies have found that good handwriting skills at a young age can help children express their thoughts better-a lifelong benefit.
It doesn"t take much to teach better handwriting skills. At some schools in Prince George"s County, elementary school students use a program called Handwriting Without Tears for 15 minutes a day. They learn the correct formation of manuscript letters through second grade, and cursive letters in third grade.
There are always going to be some kids who struggle with handwriting because of their particular neurological (神经系统的)wiring, learning issues or poor motor skills. Educators often point to this factor in support of keyboarding.
小题1:What is the author concerned about after 2011 SAT exams?
A.Keyboarding.B.Shorthand
C.Handwriting.D.Block letters.
小题2:A poem by Robert mentioned in the passage is used to _________.
A.prove how valuable handwriting is
B.explain what a famous poet he is
C.show how unique his poem is
D.stress how fascinating the documents are
小题3:The example of Handwriting Without Tears helps to argue that_________.
A.the schools are responsible for the loss of handwriting
B.the loss of handwriting is a cognitive opportunity missed
C.it doesn"t take much to teach better handwriting skills
D.the culture is turning from the written word to the typed one
小题4: According to the author, when is a perfect time to learn handwriting?
A.Kindergarten.B.Primary school.C.High school.D.College.
小题5:What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A.Devotion.B.Encouragement.C.critical.D.Objective.

Educating girls quite possibly gets a higher rate of return than any other deal available in the developing world.Women"s education may be unusual field for economists, but increasing women"s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social project.And economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides an explanation for why so many girls lose the chance of education.
Parents in low-income countries don"t send their daughters to school because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else"s family and bear children.Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school----the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环)of abandonment.
An educated mother, on the other hand.has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices.She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance.The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys.will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle (良性循环).
Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits.But it has enormous economic advantages as well.Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers.Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling.Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available deal, but they are just the beginning.Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
小题1:The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is _______.
A.expensiveB.troublesome
C.rewardingD.labor-saving
小题2:What does the author say about women"s education?
A.It has developed the interest of a growing number of economists
B.It is in the first place in many developing countries
C.It deserves greater attention than other social project
D.It will get greater returns than other known deal
小题3:The passage mainly discusses ______.
A.unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countries
B.the economic and social benefits of educating women
C.the major contributions of educated women to society
D.the potential earning power of well-educated women

Rene Descartes’ explanation of pain has long been acknowledged in medicine. He proposed that pain is a purely physical phenomenon – that tissue injury makes specific nerves send a signal to the brain, causing the mind to notice pain. The phenomenon, he said, is like pulling on a rope to ring a bell in the brain. It is hard to overstate how deeply fixed this account has become. In medicine, doctors see pain in Descartes’ terms— as a physical process, a sign of tissue injury.
The limitations of this explanation, however, have been apparent for some time, since people with obvious injuries sometimes report feeling no pain at all. Later, researchers proposed that Descartes’ model be replaced with what they called the gate control theory of pain. They argued that before pain signals reach the brain, they must first go through a gating mechanism in the spinal cord(脊髓). In some cases, this imaginary gate could simply stop pain signals from getting to the brain.
Their most amazing suggestion was that what controlled the gate was not just signals from sensory nerves but also emotions and other “output” from the brain. They were saying that pulling on the rope need not make the bell ring. The bell itself—the mind— could stop it. This theory led to a great deal of research into how such factors as mood, gender, and beliefs influence the experience of pain. In a British study, for example, researchers measured pain threshold and tolerance levels in 53 ballet dancers and 53 university students by using a common measurement: after immersing your hand in body-temperature water for two minutes to establish a baseline condition, you put your hand in a bowl of ice water and start a clock running. You mark the time when it begins to hurt: that is your pain threshold. Then you mark the time when it hurts too much to keep your hand in the water: that is your pain tolerance. The test is always stopped at 120 seconds, to prevent injury.
The results were striking. On average female students reported pain at 16 seconds and pulled their hands out of the ice water at 37 seconds. Female dancers were almost three times as long on both counts. Men in both groups had a higher threshold and tolerance for pain, but the difference between male dancers and male nondancers was nearly as large. What explains that difference? Probably it has something to do with the psychology of ballet dancers—a group known for self-discipline, physical fitness, and competitiveness, as well as by a high rate of chronic(慢性) injury. Their driven personalities and competitive culture evidently accustom them to pain. Other studies along these lines have shown that outgoing people have greater pain tolerance and that, with training, one can reduce one’s sensitivity to pain.
There is also striking evidence that very simple kinds of mental suggestion can have powerful effects on pain. In one study of 500 patients undergoing dental procedures, those who were given a placebo(安慰剂) injection and promised that it would relieve their pain had the least discomfort— not only less than the patients who got a placebo and were told nothing but also less than the patients who got actual drug without any promise that it would work.
Today it is abundantly evident that the brain is actively involved in the experience of pain and is no more bell on a string. Today every medical textbook teaches the gate control theory as fact. There’s a problem with it, though. It explains people who have injuries but feel no pain, but it doesn’t explain the reverse, which is far more common— the millions of people who experience chronic pain, such as back pain, with no signs of injury whatsoever. So where does the pain come from? The rope and clapper are gone, but the bell is still ringing.

B.puzzling, because it sometimes has no obvious cause
C.disappointing, because it does not improve with treatment
D.worrying, because it lies beyond the reach of medicine
