【题目】Fatu Kekula is a hero. The 22-year-old Liberian nursing student, in her final year, managed to save the members of her immediate family from the Ebola virus, all without the help and convenience of a hospital.
Kekula reduced the rate to 25 percent. Four of her family members were infected with the virus. Her father, Moses, her mother, Victoria, her sister, Vivian and her 14-year-old cousin, Alfred Winnie. Sadly, Kekula’s cousin succumbed to the virus. It’s also impressive to note that while Kekula was treating her family members she managed to avoid Ebola entirely.
On July 27, Kekula’s father, Moses, went to a hospital in Kanata, after his blood pressure rose sharply. The only reason the hospital had a bed to offer him was because someone had just died. But the staff in the hospital didn’t realize the patient died from an Ebola infection. Shortly, after he was admitted to the hospital, Moses developed a fever, started vomiting and was suffering from diarrhea. Once nurses started dying of Ebola, the hospital shut down and Moses had to leave. Kekula drove 90 minutes to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, to seek treatment. Three hospitals turned them away because there is no spare bed for patients at all.
Kekula made the drive back to Kanata to another hospital. They told Moses he had typhoid fever and did very little to treat him. So Kekula took him home. Once he was there, he infected three other family members. Her mother, sister and their cousin who was living with them.
Kekula only lost one patient, her cousin. Her method proved so effective that international aid workers, including UNICEF, began teaching it to others in West Africa who may not be able to get to hospitals for treatment.
Her father, mother and sister were already recovering when space became available at the JFK Medical Center on August 17. Alfred passed away at the hospital the next day. Kekula’s father, Moses said, “I’m very, very proud. She saved my life through the almighty God.”
【1】What is the best title for the passage?
A. A courageous and selfless nurse.
B. Give her a medal: Woman saves family members from Ebola.
C. A family survived Ebola with the help of government.
D. The dreadful disease Ebola.
【2】What does the underlined word “succumbed to” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. was affected with B. survived
C. died of D. fight against
【3】Why Kekula took her father home?
A. Because a patient died from an Ebola infection in the hospital in Kanata.
B. Because they were turned down by hospitals and little can be done to her father.
C. Because Moses were already recovering when he was admitted to the JFK Medical Center.
D. Because nurses started dying of Ebola and many hospitals were shut down.

【题目】Dolphins call out the specific names of loved ones when they become separated, a study finds.Other than humans, they are the only animals known to do this, according to the study.The big difference with dolphins is that these communications consist of whistles(鸣叫), not words.
Earlier research found that dolphins have a “signature whistle” that would be somewhat like human shouting, “Hey everybody! I’m an adult healthy male named George, and I mean you no harm.”
The new finding is that dolphins also say the names of certain other dolphins.“Animals produced copies of the same sound when they were separated from a close partner.This supports our belief that dolphins copy another animal’s signature whistle when they want to reunite with that animal,” Stephanie King, who led the study, says.
King and her colleagues collected acoustic(声音的)data from wild dolphins around Sarasota Bay, Florida, from 1984 to 2009.The researchers also studied four adult male dolphinshousedat the Seas Aquarium, also in Florida.
Those males are adults that keepers named Calvin, Khyber, Malabar and Ranier, all of whom, as well as all of the wild ones, developed their own signature whistles that served as names in communication with other dolphins.
“A dolphin uses its signature whistle to broadcast its identity and announce its presence.The signature whistles allow animals to identify one another over long distances and allow animals to recognize one another and to join up with each other,” King explains.“Dolphin whistles can be heard up to 20km away, depending on water depth and whistle frequency(频率).”
The researchers said dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones, such as a mother, when the two are separated.These “names” are always used in positive situations, and are only directed toward loved ones.
While researchers are often unwilling to apply the word language to non-human communications, dolphins clearly have a very complex communication system.
【1】The underlined word “housed” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”.
A. raised B. saved C. discovered D. hunted
【2】Which of the following plays a part in whether dolphin whistles can be heard over a distance?
A. The dolphin’s identity.
B. The water temperature
C. The whistle frequency.
D. The dolphin’s age.
【3】When do dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones?
A. When there is a fight.
B. When their keeper comes.
C. When they are apart.
D. When they are hungry.
【4】Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A magazine about scientific advances.
B. A website about various animals.
C. A report on animal acoustics.
D. An essay about the relationship between humans and animals.

【题目】My 18-month-old son, Adam, called from the front door.“Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped what I was doing and stuck my head out the door.Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old dog, was over again.“Go away!” I shouted.
Brandy’s owner had died about a month earlier.The woman’s family had emptied the house and stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind.For weeks, she’d been wandering around the neighborhood.
It wasn’t that I disliked dogs or anything like that.I just didn’t think about them very much.I never had a dog growing up and had never thought to get one.
Brandy went away and I stayed outside with Adam.Then the phone rang.I went inside to take the call.When I came back, Adam was gone.I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball court and public pool.No trace of him.I was so nervous that I ran home and called the police, then my husband.
Police searched the neighborhood.Suddenly I heard another sound: a dog barking.“It’s coming from the woods,” one of my neighbors said.We followed the barking to a wooded cliff(悬崖).There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep.Brandy was beside him, leaning(倚靠)against him to keep him away from the edge.When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly.She must have been holding Adam there for hours!
I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house.She hesitated a moment on our doorstep, no doubt remembering the time I’d driven her away.
“Come on, girl,” I said.“This is your home now.” Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door.She’d done a great thing, and I wondered if she knew it .She’d certainly touched me in a way that no animal ever had.What a pity a dog like Brandy had been left behind!
