There is a saying in France that states, "The government could fall, the Louvre (卢浮宫)could be broken into or creatures from other planets could land on earth, but if any of these things happened during the Tour de France, no one would notice." The Tour de France is the most famous cycling race in the world.It begins in July and runs for three weeks.Cyclists who race in the Tour de France ride in six legs or stages of the race, and they have between one to four days of rest between each leg of the race.The rider who completes all six legs of the race in the shortest overall time wins.

    The Tour de France began as a publicity stunt(惊人的表演) for the French sports newspaper, L’Auto.Hcnri Desgranges, who worked for L’Auto,  came up with the idea for "the greatest bike race in the world, "and on July 1,1903, the first Tour de France began.Sixty cyclists began that first leg of the race which started in front of the Alarm Clock Cafe just outside of Paris.This first leg took them 467 kilometers to Lyon.The first Tour de France received an astonishing 2,000 francs.Maurice Garin, the most popular cyclist in France at that time, won the first Tour de France.It took him 94 hours and 33 minutes to ride all 2,428 kilometers of the race.This time was three hours faster than the second -place rider.Over the weeks during which the race was run, the idea of the Tour de France slowly caught the imagination of the people of France.The race has been run every year since that time, except during the years of World War I and World War Ⅱ.

    The Tour de France has developed several special honors for which racers compete.Above all, the highest honor is the " yellow jersey".Mr.Desgranges introduced the yellow jersey in 1919 to show the leading racer each rider's total time in order to find the racer with the lowest time.That racer wears the yellow jersey during the day's race.Other honors include the "green jersey " which is given to the rider who sprints the best by riding the fastest over short distances, and the "polka dot jersey" for the best rider in the mountains along the route.

Malaria, the world’s most widespread parasitic (寄生虫引起的)disease, kills as many as three million people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't (or can’t) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.        

Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect. They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn’t kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease is passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of a parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.

For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.  

1.According to paragraph 1, many people don’t seek care because ________.

A. they are too poor                     

B. it is unusual to seek care

C. they can remain unaffected for long

D. there are too many people suffering from the disease

2.People suffering from malaria ________.

A. have to kill female mosquitoes         B. have ability to defend parasites

C. have their red blood cells infected    D. have sudden fever, followed by chills

3.Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?

A. Its resistance to global warming.     

B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.

C. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.

D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. no drugs have been found to treat the disease

B. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people

C. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites

D. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease
