21、The World Health Organization has for the first time expressed “cautions optimism” that the growth in new Ebola cases in West Africa may be slowing down.
Bruce Aylward, who is in charge of the WHO response to Ebola, said in Geneva that he was particularly encouraged by evidence of a downward trend in Liberia, one of the three worst-affected countries.
The WHO’s official total number of Ebola cases has reached 13.703—a big jump from the10,141 cases it reported four days ago. But Dr Aylward said that was mainly the result of the data being updated with old cases, rather than new cases arising.
“Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely.” Dr Aylward said.
However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in the epidemic（传染病). “I’m terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control.” he said.
Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to “an oscillating（震荡的）pattern where the disease moves up and down”.
The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from Ebola patients.
In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. “We’re still seeing this thing burning quite hot in parts of Sierra Leone,” Dr Aylward said
Tracing the progress of individual patients, the WHO estimates an overall death rate of 70 percent, though people who receive treatment in a well-equipped clinic are slightly less likely to die. The WHO plans to set up 56 Ebola clinics with 4,700 beds in West Africa. Of these 15 clinics with 1,050 beds are already operational and another 22 clinics are expected to open during November.
Meanwhile, two former NATO（北约）secretaries-general and dozens of leading European politicians have urged the alliance to send troops, aircraft and ships to west Africa to help contain the Ebola crisis.
【1】In the first paragraph, “cautious optimism” probably refers to ________.
A. Ebola under control thanks to WHO’s caution
B. the decline of new Ebola cases though not defeated
C. celebrations on the downturn in Ebola in Liberia
D. More treatment and relief supplies to West Africa
【2】Why did Dr Aylward urge people not to celebrate prematurely?
A. Because celebrations may increases infections.
B. Because the pattern of the disease is up and down.
C. Because people may be misled to cease the battle.
D. Because we are getting an upper hand on the virus.
【3】Which of the following didn’t contribute to the improvement in Liberia?
A. better contact tracing B. more treatment facilities
C. safer burial practices D. data updated with old cases
【4】According to the text, “burning quite hot” means ________.
A. very severe B. extremely hot
C. on fire D. well received
22、The best family vacation that ever had was going on a road trip to Myrtle Beach. The trip was for 2 weeks during the March break from school. This trip was probably about 20 years ago so it was before the time of things like portable video games and being able to watch movies in the back seat.
So to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other. My mum would set the back set up so that it was out own little playroom. She would pack everything up in the feet well so that we had a big level area to play in. We would play cards and board games.
When it got to the point that we were at each other’s throats we would be sent back to out own side of the seat and would be forced to either nap or read by ourselves until we could be friendly to each other again. I can remember us playing for quite some time when we turned the back seat into a spaceship and travelled around the earth.
Another time we turned it into a kitchen and had a bake-off（食品烘烤赛）. But the thing that I remember the most and that gave us many hours of enjoyment was using each other’s faces as silly Plasticine(普萊斯蒂辛橡皮泥) and making funny faces. We would see how far we could stretch each other’s mouth open, see how thin we could make the other’s eye by pulling on it. We would keep going until one of us begged for mercy because we had to give our faces a rest.
So while I can remember us having a great time on the beach, laughing a lot trying to put the tent up in the rain, what I remember the most of that trip and what always makes me smile the most is remembering the pain that our faces would be in after the trip.
【1】What did the author do when traveling to Myrtle Beach?
A. Watch movies.
B. Play video games.
C. Have fun with his brother.
D. Pack things up to amuse himself.
【2】What does the author mean by saying “we were at each other’s throats”?
A. We were fighting with each other.
B. We used up our skills.
C. We were quite out of breath.
D. We were about to fall asleep.
【3】What impressed the author most during the trip?
A. Playing cards and board games.
B. Pulling each other’s faces and eyes.
C. Having a cooking competition.
D. Playing with silly Plasticine.
【4】Which of the following titles would best suit the passage?
A. An Unforgettable Family Travel
B. What Is the Most Meaningful Journey
C. The Good Old Day Never to Be Forgotten
D. How to Kill Time while Traveling in the Past
23、 Preventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time, given my family history of heart disease. So last summer, I travelled to Bolivia. The natives, called the Tsimane, were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.
Getting to the Tsimane wasn't easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts surrounded us, with no electricity or modem conveniences.
At first, I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat. However, I found food such as rice and com made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.
During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Fanning and gathering, mostly done by children and women, were all-day affairs.
I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.
The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in the US. Various factors, like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health.
【1】Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?
A．He dreams of becoming a doctor.
B．He wants to teach others about the topic.
C．His family members encourage him to do so.
D．He was born with a high risk of heart disease.
【2】Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?
A．Housing, food and cooperation.
B．Diet, activity and rest.
C．Physical work, social life and lifespan.
D．Group size, family history and consumption
【3】What was the Tsimane 's sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?
A．Natural sound.
B．Routine activity.
C．Animal behaviour.
D．Natural light.
【4】What might the author advise us to do after his travels in Bolivia?
A．Take in less sugar and salt.
B．Stand less and walk more.
C．Eat white meat instead of red meat.
D．Live in the middle of the community.
24、Do you live in a city? You’ve probably noticed how noisy and crowded life in a city can be. What if you could live next to a calm lake instead?
As it turns out, living near bodies of water – lakes, rivers, ponds, even oceans – can help us feel both happier and healthier. Those who live less than a kilometer from the coast are around 22 percent less likely to have mental health problems than those who live 50 kilometers or more away, according to a study by researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. People who visit the coast at least twice a week tend to experience better general and mental health as well.
So how does “blue space” make us feel better? For one thing, aquatic environments tend to have less pollution and more sunlight, both of which are linked to better mental and physical health. People who get more sun tend to be happier than those who do not.
There’s also the air above the sea. After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual. This is because sea air is filled with negative ions（负离子）. These ions balance our levels of serotonin（血清素）, a chemical that affects our moods. With balanced serotonin levels, we feel more calm and relaxed, according to Daily Mail.
Finally, people who live near water tend to be more physically active, according to the Guardian. Water sports like swimming and rowing can help us stay in shape, which in turn keeps us healthy.
【1】What did the researchers from the University of Exeter find?
A．Living near water can improve our mental health.
B．An increasing number of people don’t like living in cities.
C．Living near water has more advantages than living in cities.
D．People with mental health problems mainly come from cities.
【2】The underlined word “aquatic” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A．natural
B．outdoor
C．oceanic
D．clean
【3】What do we know about negative ions?
A．They are chemicals in our bodies.
B．They can only be found in sea air.
C．They can help people reduce stress.
D．They increase serotonin in our bodies.
【4】In which column can you find this passage?
A．Health.
B．Travel.
C．Environment.
D．Entertainment.
25、 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that over 50,000 people every year sustain some sort of winter-related back injury，and 5，800 of those are holiday decorating- ____. These aches and pains can ____ bring trouble to people’s life. It is said that people’s back could sustain all sorts of strain from carrying heavy ____，and from the increased stress of lugging suitcases, decorations and gifts. Dr. Alanna Levine spoke to Debbye Turner Bell on “The Early Show” about how to ____ the back for the holiday season.
The first ____ Dr. Levine gave was about carrying heavy shopping bags. Smaller bags, she said, are better. “You don’t want to load everything up into one bag and lug it around,” Dr. Levine explained. “You want to ____ the weight on your body. ” She also ____ putting heavier items towards the bottom in those bags and lighter items on top. Also, if you can, make frequent trips to the car to drop ____ purchases.
____ can be another pain in the back—from carrying heavy luggage. Again, Dr. Levine ____ not to pack everything into one bag. Even though it may cost more, she said that packing two smaller bags is safer than packing a heavy one. Also, choose a lightweight bag, so that the only weight you’re carrying is the ____ inside the suitcase.
When unloading bags from an airport baggage claim, Dr. Levine suggested standing ____ to the carousel (圆盘传送带) and bending your knees to lift it up. “You want to avoid that reach-and-lift. It puts a(n) ____ on your lower back,” she said.
When it ____ holiday decorating, people take more ____. Dr. Levine suggested decorating in pairs, so that one person can hand the lights and ornaments to the other person to hang, thus avoiding reaching or twisting to get what you need.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was a Saturday afternoon. The color of the sky was changing, first light gray, then dark gray, and finally dark and dense. The wind was blowing heavily, and the trees were swaying in the strong wind. It began to rain cats and dogs. Soon, the road was filled with puddles from the rain.
On such a stormy afternoon, my mother took my fiveyearold brother, Christopher, and me to a new big toy store she had read about in the newspaper. “So many toys，” the advertisement had shouted in full and flashy color, “that we had to get a huge warehouse to fit them all！”
Christopher and I couldn't have been more excited. We ran across the parking lot, through the cold and biting rain, as fast as our little legs could carry us. We left our mother outside to battle with the frustrating umbrella, which never worked when she wanted it to. “Christine! Take care of your young brother！” Mother shouted at the top of her voice.
“Christine! I'm going to find the Lego section (乐高积木区)! There's a new pirate ship I want, and I have four dollars! Maybe I can buy it！” Christopher exclaimed and ran off excitedly. I only half heard him. I took a right turn and, to my wideeyed delight, found myself in the midst of the Barbie (芭比) World.
I was studying a Barbie and doing some simple math in my head when suddenly an earthshaking clap of thunder roared from the storm outside. I jumped at the noise, dropping the doll to the floor. The lights flickered (闪烁) once and died, covering everything in a blanket of blackness. Thunder continued to shake the sky and lightning illuminated the store for seconds, casting frightening shadows on my mind.
