If a super-flu strikes, face masks may not protect you. Whether widespread use of masks will help, or harm, during the next worldwide flu outbreak is a question that researchers are studying furiously. No results have come from their mask research yet. However, the government says people should consider wearing them in certain situations anyway, just in case.2. But it's a question the public keeps asking while the government are making preparations for the next flu pandemic. So the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) came up with preliminary guidelines. "We don't want people wearing them everywhere," said the CDC. "The overall recommendation really is to avoid exposure."3. When that's not possible, the guidelines say to consider wearing a simple surgical mask if you are in one of the three following situations. First, you're healthy and can't avoid going to a crowded place. Second, you're sick and think you may have close contract with the healthy, such as a family member checking on you. Third, you live with someone who's sick and thus might be in the early stages of infection, but still need to go out.4. Influenza pandemics can strike when the easy-to-mutate flu virus shifts to a strain that people never have experienced. Scientists cannot predict when the next pandemic will arrive, although concern is rising that the Asian bird flu might trigger one if it starts spreading easily from person to person.5. During the flu pandemic, you should protect yourself. Avoid crowds, and avoid close contract with the sick unless you must care for someone. Why can't mask added to this self-protection list? Be- cause they help trap virus-laden droplets flying through the air with a cough or sneeze. Simple surgical masks only filter the larger droplets. Besides, the CDC is afraid? masks may create a false sense of security. Perhaps someone who should have stayed home would don an ill-fitting mask and hop on the subway instead.6. Nor does flu only spread through the air. Say someone covers a sneeze with his or her hand, then touches a doorknob or subway pole. If you touch that spot next and then put germy hands on your nose or mouth, you've been exposed. It's harder to rub your nose while wearing a mask and so your face may get pretty sweaty under masks. You reach under to wipe that sweat, and may transfer germs caught on the outside of the mask straight to the nose. These are the problems face masks may create for their, users.7. Whether people should or should not use face masks still remains a question. The general public has to wait patiently for the results of the mask research scientists are still doing.

填空题Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pigeon--can learn to recognize faces. (46) . We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone's personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that individual different from others. (47) . But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe a "nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person", you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. (48) . Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people's behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types--people are described with such terms. (49) . Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain's (坏人)or the hero's role. In fact, the words "person" and "personality" come from the Latin persona, meaning "mask". (50) . But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.A. There are many words to describe how a person thinks feels and acts.B. Like the human face, human personality is very complex.C. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks.D. We recognize a person by his or her appearance.E. We all take this ability for granted.F. People have always tried to "type" each other.

填空题Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains?A. Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity.B. This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.C. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man.D. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.E. But it is no unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.F. If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game".

填空题 阅读下面这篇短文，短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第23～26题要求从所给的6个选项中为规定段每段选择1个正确的小标题；(2)第27～30题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确选项，分别完成每个句子。 1. More efforts are being made toward environmentally safe work places. An environmental policy research organization has done that in Washington, D.C. The World Resources Institute re-designed its office to make it safer for people and the environment. This newly-designed office is called a "green" office. 2. The newly designed office was made with environmentally safe building materials instead of building products that are harmful to the environment. For example, the floor of the office is made of bark(树皮)from a cork tree. The bark of a cork tree will renew itself so the tree does not die. The cork floor also feels good to stand on. 3. The floor in another part of the office is made of bamboo(竹子). Bamboo is a fast-growing grass that quickly replaces itself. Other areas of the floor are covered with carpeting. However, unlike many offices, the carpet was made without harmful chemicals. 4. Storage areas in the office are made from the crushed shells of sunflower seeds. The office doors are made from pressed wheat straw. Wheat straw is an agriculture waste product that would normally be burned. That process adds chemicals to the atmosphere. 5. World Resources Institute officials also chose lighting and other electrical equipment that use less energy. And, they improved their communication systems. New video communication equipment lets workers see and talk to people in other cities. The new equipment was added to reduce the amount of travel by office workers. That reduces the amount of harmful gases that are released into the atmosphere by cars or planes. 6. The organization's officials also announced a plan that would reduce harmful carbon dioxide gases from their office by the year 2005. 7. World Resources Institute officials say the cost of building a "green" office is similar to that of a traditional office. They say building more "green" offices could lead to a healthier environment. They say a healthy environment and a strong economy can exist together. The organization says it is creating a work environment that is better for people.

填空题The Door Has Never Been Locked In Glasgow, Scotland, a young lady, like a lot of teens, got tired of home. The daughter objected to her family's religious lifestyle and said, "I don't want your God I am leaving!" She left home. Before long, she was disappointed and unable to find a job, (46) to earn money.

As she stood in front of the picture, she wept. (49) . It was night, but she was so touched by the message that she started walking home. By the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and made her way timidly. As she knocked, the door flew open on its own. She thought someone must have broken into the house. (50) , the young woman ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, "It's me! It's me!" The mother couldn't believe her eyes. They fell into each other's arms.

填空题 阅读下面这篇短文，短文后有2项测试任务：(1)1～4题要求从所给的6个选项中为第 2～5段每段选择1个正确的小标题：(2)第5～8题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确的选项，分别完成每个句子。请将答案写在相应的位置上。 {{B}} Health Education{{/B}} Health education is the part of health care that is concerned with promoting healthy behavior. A person's behavior may be the main cause of a health problem, but it can also be the main solution. This is true for the teenager who smokes, the mother with the poorly nourished (营养) child, and the butcher (屠夫) who gets a cut on his finger. By changing their behavior these individuals can solve and prevent many of their own problems. Health education does not replace other health services, but it is needed to promote the proper sue of these services. One example of this is immunization(免疫): scientists have made many vaccines (疫苗) to prevent diseases, but this achievement is of no value unless people go to receive immunization. Health education encourages behavior that promotes health, prevent illness, cures disease and contributes to recovery. The needs and interests of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities are at the heart of health education programs. Thus there are many opportunities for practicing health education. Health education is not the same thing as health information. Correct information is certainly a basic part of health education, but health education must also address the other factors that affect health behavior such as availability (可获性) of resources, effectiveness of community leadership, social support from family members, and levels of self-help skills. Health education therefore uses a variety of methods to help people understand their own situations and choose actions that will improve their health. Health education is incomplete unless it encourages involvement and choice by the people themselves. Also, in health education we do not blame people if they do not behave in a healthy way. Often unhealthy behavior is not the fault of the individual. In health education we must work with families, communities, and even regional authorities to make sure that resources and support are available to enable each individual to lead a healthy life.

填空题Parkinson"s Disease 1. Parkinson"s disease affects the way you move. It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally, these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine. Dopamine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement. It lets your muscles move smoothly and do what you want them to do. When you have Parkinson"s, these nerve cells break down. Then you no longer have enough dopamine, and you have trouble moving the way you want to. 2. No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down. But scientists are doing a lot of research to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes, including aging and poisons in the environment. Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson"s disease in some people. But so far, there is not enough proof to show that it is always inherited. 3. Tremor may be the first symptom you notice. It is one of the most common signs of the disease, although not everyone has it. More importantly, not everyone with a tremor has Parkinson"s disease. Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the body. It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you move the limb or you are asleep. In time, Parkinson"s affects muscles all through your body, so it can lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation. In the later stages of the disease, a person with Parkinson"s may have a fixed or blank expression, trouble speaking, and other problems. Some people also have a decrease in mental skills (dementia). 4. At this time, there is no cure for Parkinson"s disease. But there are several types of medicines that can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with. You may not even need treatment if your symptoms are mild. Your doctor may wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of your daily life. Your doctor will adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse. You may need to take several medicines to get the best results.

填空题Cancer Cancer is a group of many related diseases that begin in cells, the body"s basic building blocks. The body is made up of many types of ceils. Normally cells grow and divide to produce more ceils as they are needed to keep the body healthy. Sometimes, this orderly process goes wrong. New cells form when the body does not need them, and old ceils do not die when they should. The extra cells form a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor. Benign (良性的) tumors are not cancer. They can often be removed and, in most cases, they do not come back. Malignant (恶性的) tumors are cancer. Ceils in malignant tumors are abnormal and divide without control or order. Scientists have learned that cancer is caused by changes in genes that normally control the growth and death of ceils. Certain lifestyle and environmental factors can change some normal genes into genes that allow the growth of cancer. Many gene changes that lead to cancer are the result of tobacco use, diet, exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or exposure to carcinogens (致物) in the workplace or in the environment. Some gene alterations are inherited. Cancer treatment can include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy (化疗), hormone therapy, and biological therapy. The doctor may use one method or a combination of methods, depending on the type and location of the cancer, whether the disease has spread, the patient"s age and general health, and other factors. Because treatment for cancer can also damage healthy cells and tissues, it often causes side effects. Patients and doctors generally discuss the treatment options, weighing the likely benefits of killing cancer cells and the risks of possible side effects. Having cancer does not always mean having pain. Whether a patient has pain may depend on the type of cancer, the extent of the disease, and the patient"s tolerance for pain. Most pain occurs when the cancer grows and presses against bones, organs, or nerves. Pain may also be a side effect of treatment. However, pain can generally be relieved or reduced with prescription medicines or over-the-counter drugs recommended by the doctor.

填空题How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的，实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation. Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room"s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook. In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant"s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention. Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots. Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax. So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we"re almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管)," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That"s what we"re all struggling with."

补全短文Albert Einstein _________(46). Where his father opened a business in electrical supplies. As a boy, Einstein was slow to learn to talk and in early childhood was considered backward. But by the time he was fourteen years old, he had recovered from a slow start to the extent that he taught himself advanced calculus and geometry from textbooks. By then he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. He wanted to be a physicist and devote himself to research. In 1901 ,when Einstein was twenty-two years old, he began teaching, and in 1902 he went to work as a patent office examiner in Bern. Now able to pay his own expenses, he continued his schooling at the University of Zurich, where he received a doctors degree in 1905._________(47). Einstein had an effect on science and history that only a few men have ever achieved. An American university president commented in 1929 that_________(48). It may be some generations before the average mind grasps the identity of time and space, and so on—but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something vaster than ever thought before. By 1914 Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching, and unlimited opportunities for study. It was an ideal position, but soon this peace and quiet were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. _________(49). He lost interest in much of his research. Only when peace was finally restored in 1918 was he able to get back to work. _________(50).

补全短文How to Do Well In Exam Do not underestimated(低估) the power of revision in the days and hours before and examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it._________(46). An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it. On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need ( pens, pencils, erasers, etc. ) ,then make your way to the examination hall in good time._________(47). Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as "discuss", "compare" and "evaluate". _________(48). It is always wise to allow 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical(千篇一律的) answers. _________(49). If you do need something else to focus on to help you collect your thoughts, choose a fixture(固定设施) in the room, such as the ceiling——or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.
