【题目】 If you were on the street in Mexico today you might think you were in an operating room, surrounded by doctors. You could see many concerned people with masks (口罩) trying their best to stop the swine flu (猪流感). And the masks aren’t only being used in Mexico. A friend of mine traveling from New York City to Florida was given a mask and a pair of gloves just after he reached the airport. And another friend went to get a haircut only to be faced with a hairdresser wearing a mask!

But do the masks really work? Is covering your nose and mouth the key to stopping the swine flu? To find out the truth, ABC’s reporter Sharyn Alfonsi talked with germ (细菌) expert Dr. Elaine Larsen. It turns out that when you sneeze (打喷嚏) the air coming out of your mouth at a speed of one hundred miles per hour carries germs which can travel anywhere around you and make people around you infected (被感染).

However, whether you become infected actually depends on the weather. As Sharyn reported, when you sneeze, the germs leave your body in small drops of water coming out of your mouth. If the weather is wet, the wet air will make the small drops bigger and heavier and they drop down towards our feet. If this happens, we won’t become infected. But if the air is dry, those small drops can float higher up, making it possible for them to touch someone else’s nose, mouth or their mask.

Larsen says the masks can stop the germs well but after a few hours, they start to get wet, holding a lot of germs they come across and causing you to breathe them in. The masks do work, but the key to stopping the germs is changing your masks often.

1According to Para.1, in Mexico you can see that ____.

A.the patients are treated in the open air

B.some doctors work in the street

C.people speak little to each other in the street

D.many people wear masks in the street

2According to the passage a patient spreads germs mainly through ____.

A.breathingB.Speaking

C.touching othersD.sneezing

3We learn from the passage that on a wet day ____.

A.sick people will be infectedB.germs can spread very far

C.germs spread very quicklyD.few people will be infected

4If you keep wearing a mask for a long time, ____.

A.the mask will be old and worn outB.you’ll love the feeling of wearing it

C.germs will be kept away from youD.it will be easy for you to be infected

5What should we pay attention to when wearing masks?

A.Keeping the masks dry.B.Changing the masks often.

C.Choosing very thick masks.D.Wearing big masks.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。墨西哥的街道就像手术室,到处是戴口罩的人。戴口罩真的能阻挡猪流感吗?答案是肯定的。但如果一个口罩戴得太久,上面附着的细菌就会变得很多,很容易被吸入体内。所以一定要经常更换口罩。

1

细节理解题。根据第一段“If you were on the street in Mexico today you might think you were in an operating roomsurrounded by doctors.”可知如果你现在在墨西哥街上,你可能会觉得你在手术室里,被医生包围,所以在墨西哥街头人们都戴口罩,故选D。

2

细节理解题。根据第二段“It turns out that when you sneeze the air coming out of your mouth at a speed of one hundred miles per hour carries germs which can travel anywhere around you and make people around you infected.”可知当你打喷嚏的时候,从你嘴里以每小时一百英里的速度飞出来的空气,携带的病菌可以到达你周围的任何地方并致使周围的人感染,所以病菌是通过打喷嚏传播的。故选D

3

推理判断题。根据第三段“If the weather is wet, the wet air will make the small drops bigger and heavier and they drop down towards our feet. If this happens, we won't become infected.”可知如果天气潮湿,潮湿的空气会让小水珠更大更重,它们会落在脚下,如果这样的话,我们就不会被感染。可推知在潮湿的天气里被感染的人会很少。故选D

4

细节理解题。根据最后一段“Larsen says the masks can stop the germs well but after a few hoursthey start to get wetholding a lot of germs they come across and causing you to breathe them in.”可知如果戴口罩时间长了,人也会由于将附在口罩上的细菌吸入体内而被感染。故选D

5

细节理解题。根据最后一段“The masks do work, but the key to stopping the germs is changing your masks often.”可知虽然口罩确实起作用,但是防止病菌的关键是要经常更换口罩,所以佩戴口罩要经常换,故选B。

【题目】What does Wi-Fi stand for?

Long gone are the days of dial-up and waiting for your turn to use the computer. It’s easier than ever to connect to the Internet in the digital world today. 1

Wi-Fi is a wireless network that uses radio frequency signals to connect to the Internet or send messages between devices without wires. Everything from your phone and laptop to tablets and printers can use Wi-Fi, thanks to these waves. 2 Two years later, a group of companies formed the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, now the Wi-Fi Alliance), a global non-profit organization created to promote the new Wi-Fi standard.

None of that history explains what Wi-Fi stands for, because the phrase doesn’t stand for anything. Wi-Fi is a trademarked term describing the device or technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) wireless communication standard 802.11, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance.3 So the Wi-Fi Alliance hired the marketing company Interbrand to come up with a shorter name: Wi-Fi, according to one of the founding Alliance members.

4 The rumor that it stands for “Wireless Fidelity (无线保证)” is thanks to the Alliance. Some members didn’t understand the branding or marketing for Wi-Fi. They felt consumers would want an explanation for the name. So the Alliance agreed to include a tagline: The Standard for Wireless Fidelity. That’s why so many people assume Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity, but the tagline came after the name.5 Don’t add to the confusion and stop miss-associating these phrases by learning the real meaning behind these acronyms (缩略词).

A. That’s a mouthful.

B. This is mostly thanks to Wi-Fi.

C. The name caused a misconception about Wi-Fi.

D. There is some debate surrounding the question what Wi-Fi stands for.

E. In 1997, a committee of industry leaders approved a common Wi-Fi standard.

F. Several years ago, a common standard of Wi-Fi was set up by several companies.

G. Plus, the Alliance removed the tag, although the confusion it brought still lives on today.

【题目】As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.

In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)".

According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

1The passage begins with two questions to ______.

A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's attitude

C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information

2In transactive memory, people ______.

A. keep the information in mind

B. change the quantity of information

C. organize information like a computer

D. remember how to find the information

3What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?

A. We are using memory differently.

B. We are becoming more intelligent.

C. We have poorer memories than before.

D. We need a better way to access information.

Dear Peter,

I'm glad to hear from you. Thank you very much for inviting me to America in this summer. I'd like to accept your warm invitation, and I'm sorry that I can't go to your hometown and visit you.

I refuse your invitation just due to the following reason. First of all, it cost a lot to travel abroad, which will add an extra burden to my family. Beside, I plan to do part-time job in the summer vacation. I can not only earn some money to cover my expenses but improving my social skills. For the reasons mentioning above, I believe you can understand how I can't accept your invitation. I hope this won't affect our friendship from the bottom of your heart.

Yours,
