26、Could being a little overweight help you live longer? A new international analysis (分析) shows a surprising answer: while obesity (肥胖) increases the risk of dying early, being slightly overweight reduces it. These studies included almost 3 million adults from around the world, yet the results were clearly the same, the authors of the analysis said.
“If you have a medical condition, your chances, of living are slightly better if you are a bit on the heavy side,” says study author Katherine Flegal, “Several factors may contribute to this finding.”
“Heavier people may tend to see the doctor earlier,” she says, “and may be more likely to be treated according to the doctor’s advice. Obesity itself may protect the heart, or someone who is heavier might be better able to fight against a shock to the system.”
For the study, Flegal’s team collected data on more than 2.88 million people included in 97 studies. The researchers looked at the participants’ body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat that takes into consideration a person’s height and weight.
The researchers found that, compared with people of normal weight, overweight people had a 6 percent lower risk of death. Obese people, however, had an 18 percent higher risk. For those who were the least obese, the risk of death was 5 percent lower than people of normal weight, but for those who were the most obese, the risk of death was 29 percent higher, the findings showed.
While the study found a relation between weight and the risk of early death, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Indeed, one expert warned that body weight alone cannot tell health and the risk of death.
“There are other factors that play a role in health,” says Dr. William, a professor at Louisiana State University. “BMI simply is a parameter (参数); it doesn’t take family history, smoking, fitness, and other factors into consideration.”
【1】What did Flegal’s team do for their study?
A.They interviewed almost 3 million adults.
B.They did 97 experiments with fat people.
C.They collected data on 2.88 million people.
D.They talked with doctors for medical conditions.
【2】According to the finding, the risk of death is listed from high to low as follows ________.
A.the least obese—overweight—obese—the most obese.
B.the most obese—obese—overweight—the least obese.
C.the most obese—overweight—obese—the least obese.
D.the most obese—obese—the least obese—overweight.
【3】Which of the following may Dr. William agree with?
A.Weight contributes to the risk of early death.
B.Weight has no relation with the risk of death.
C.BMI is only a factor to judge people’s health.
D.BMI alone can tell people’s health conditions.
【4】What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A.Obesity kills.
B.The thinner, the healthier.
C.BMI counts.
D.A bit overweight, a longer life.
27、You can improve your child’s hearing memory considerably. Once his hearing memory has been greatly improved, he’ll be able to use and remember what he listens to in class. The success of these suggestions depends upon your ability to use your child’s natural desire to get involved(参与) in games he finds simple and fun.
A good way to begin is to read aloud a sentence from a book suitable for your child’s reading age. Then ask your youngster to repeat the sentence back to you correctly. Next, reread the sentence, leaving out a particular word. See if your child can identify the word you left out. At the beginning use only simple sentences. Gradually, increase the length of the sentences. Make sure you don’t rush things along too quickly, or your child may become discouraged and tired of the game.
Take your child shopping with you often. He’s to remember a list of items you want to buy in the supermarket. At first, ask him to remember only a few things. Then, as he shows increased ability to remember, make the list longer and longer. Praise him often and warmly when he shows increased ability to remember things. He’ll become proud of his “good” memory and will happily play the game.
Encourage your child to learn easy and short peoms. As his ability to do this becomes stronger, encourage him to remember longer poems. Do the same with songs.
【1】The suggestions will be successful if you ____.
A. find simple and funny games for your child
B. can stimulate your child’s interest in the games
C. force your child to get involved in more practice
D. improve your own hearing memory first
【2】The purpose of asking your child to repeat what you read is _____.
A. to practice his pronunciation
B. to develop his reading skills

28、Ali Crumpacker studied the photos of two bobcat (短尾猫) kittens on her computer screen. “【1】,” said Crumpacker, director of The Fund for Animals Wildlife Centre in California.
It also looked like the kittens hadn’t been cleaned in a while—something a mother bobcat would do. Crumpacker decided to examine.
The photos had been taken by someone who saw the kittens in his backyard.【2】. So he asked the centre staff to save the two bobcat kittens. Centre staff arrived at his house, set up humane (人道的) traps and then waited for the kittens to return. To their surprise, one of the kittens was already there, drinking from the pool!
【3】. The staff hoped they would soon be on their way to recovery.
More than 380 injured and orphaned animals like this bobcat pair came through the Wildlife Centre last year.【4】.
“We always get them when they’re really down,” says Kim Spall, who looks after these animals. “But then to see them return to the wild...it’s just really beautiful.”
Some animals, however, are not able to return to the wild. For them, the centre becomes a permanent shelter.【5】. All are cared for with love.
A.They’re too young to be on their own

29、An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a host by pathogens(病原体)whose activities harm the host’s tissues and can be spread to other individuals.
Microorganisms(微生物)capable of causing disease are called pathogens. A true pathogen is an infectious agent that causes disease in any possible host. The terms “infection” and “disease” are quite different. In order to cause disease, pathogens must be able to enter the host body, stick to specific host cells, invade and multiply and do damage to host tissues.
Pathogens may be spread through either direct or indirect contact. Direct contact occurs when an individual is infected by contact with the infection source. It also includes taking in the infectious droplets released by sneezing or coughing. Indirect contact occurs when a pathogen can survive the environment outside its host for a long period of time. So lifeless objects that are polluted by direct contact with the infection source may be the indirect contact for easily infected group.
Public health measures typically involve killing the pathogen from its source or from its route of spread. Those measures include ensuring a safe water supply, effectively treating waste water, and initiating animal control and vaccination(疫苗)programs, etc. Personally, the first line of defense is to keep pathogen at bay by following good personal hygiene(卫生)habits. Prevent infection before it begins and avoid spreading it to others with some easy measures, such as washing hands, getting vaccinated and so on.
Man never stops fighting against all kinds of infectious diseases. But in the past two decades at least a dozen “new” disease have been identified, and traditional diseases that appeared to be “on their way out” are re-emerging. Globally, infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death. Clearly, the ballet has not been won. Nevertheless, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to deny the claims of science. We are continually presented with great amounts of relevant scientific and medical knowledge, which encourages us to take more responsibility for our own health.
【1】What’s the main idea of paragraph2?
A.Origin of true pathogens.
B.Strategies for avoiding tissue damage.
C.Nature of infectious diseases.
D.Differences between infection and disease.
【2】What is likely to cause disease spread through indirect contact?
A.Breathing in tiny drops from coughing
B.Embracing an infected person.
C.Getting bitten by an infected cat.
D.Using umbrella a sick man used.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “at bay” in paragragh 4 mean?
A.At risk.
B.Stay away.
C.Under control.
D.Within reach.
【4】What can we infer about the last paragraph?
A.Science plays an important in defeating infectious diseases.
B.Man is at a loss about infectious diseases.
C.Traditional infectious diseases are dying out.
D.The battle against infectious diseases is in vain.

32、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
We know it’s good to learn another language, and that it’s fun too. But to improve our language skills, many of us have to endure hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried in textbooks. It’s no wonder that technology appears to be providing a better and more accessible way of learning.
There is certainly a huge demand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to earn money on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available.
Some educational apps offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes, or at most universities. And others offer “invented” language courses in Esperanto, Elvish and Star Trek’s Klingon—lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom. Whatever you want to learn, apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around other tasks. But they’re not perfect—you might not get your head round the grammar and will lack the partner support you could get in a classroom environment.
So, does technology imply the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head of modern languages at Aberystwyth University, thinks not. He thinks that apps should be used alongside traditional classroom methods. And he adds,“The apps are not formal...they’re not designed for degrees, but they could be additional resources.”
