26、“Nearly 2.5 billion people worldwide will be living with some degree of hearing loss by 2050. At least 700 million people will require access to ear and hearing care and other rehabilitation (康复) services unless action is taken. Untreated hearing loss can have a destructive impact on people’s ability to communicate, to study and to earn a living. It can also impact on people’s mental health and their ability to maintain relationships,” said Dr Tedros, WHO Director- General.
The report, launched ahead of World Hearing Day on 3 March, stresses the need to rapidly step up efforts to prevent and solve hearing loss by investing (投资) and expanding access to ear and hearing care services. Investment in ear and hearing care has been shown to be worth it.
Lack of true information about ear diseases and hearing loss often limit people from accessing care for these conditions. Even among health-care providers, there’s often a lack of knowledge about prevention, early identification and management of hearing loss and ear diseases, preventing their ability to provide the care required.
In children, almost 60% of hearing loss can be prevented through measures such as immunization (免疫) for prevention and early management. In adults, noise control, safe listening together with good ear health can help maintain good hearing and reduce the potential for hearing loss.
Identification is the first step in dealing with hearing loss. Clinical screening at strategic points in life ensure that any loss of hearing and ear diseases can be identified as early as possible. Once checked, early prevention is key. Medical and surgical treatment can cure most ear diseases, potentially reversing (逆转) the associated hearing loss. However, where hearing loss is irreversible, rehabilitation can ensure that those affected avoid the negative effects of hearing loss.
【1】What can we learn from Dr Tedros’ words?
A.Hearing loss only influences people’s physical health.
B.Nearly 2.5 billion people are suffering from hearing loss.
C.Untreated hearing loss can affect people’s daily life seriously.
D.Nearly 700 million people can have access to hearing care now.
【2】Why do people with hearing loss fail to access care?
A.Doctors know nothing about prevention.
B.No money has been invested in hearing care services.
C.People lack true information about ear diseases and hearing loss.
D.Hearing loss and ear diseases are never identified and managed early.
【3】What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A.Rehabilitation can reverse hearing loss.
B.Most hearing loss in children can be cured.
C.It is important to prevent hearing loss and ear diseases early.
D.Few ear diseases can be cured by medical and surgical treatment.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A.WHO invests more in hearing loss.
B.Hearing loss prevention counts
C.Ear protection never ends
D.Children suffer hearing loss

28、Babies should be given peanut early - some at four months old - in order to reduce the risk of allergy(过敏), according to new US guidance.
Studies have shown the risk of peanut allergy can be cut by more than 80% by early exposure(接触). The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said the new guidance was "an important step forward".
However, young children should not eat whole peanuts, because of the risk of choking.
Allergy levels are soaring in the US and have more than quadrupled since 2008. It is a pattern replicated across much of the Western world as well as parts of Asia and Africa. Parents are often wary about introducing peanut and in the past have been advised to wait until the child is three years old.
According to the new guidelines, children with other allergies or severe eczema should start on peanut-containing foods at between four and six months old, with medical supervision(监管). Babies with mild eczema should have peanut-containing food at about six months old. Those with no eczema or allergies can have peanut-containing food freely introduced.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said: "We expect that widespread implementation of these guidelines by healthcare providers will prevent the development of peanut allergy in many susceptible children and ultimately reduce the prevalence of peanut allergy in the United States."
Michael Walker, a member of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, said: "The guidelines are based on sound medical research carried out in the UK. UK parents should consult their GP, bringing attention to the guidelines if necessary, before attempting peanut allergy prevention in their infant themselves."
Professor Alan Boobis, from Imperial College London, said: "The previous(之前的) view that delaying(延迟) the introduction of allergenic foods decreases the risk of food allergy is incorrect and... if anything, the exclusion(除去) or delayed introduction of specific allergenic foods may increase the risk of allergy to the same foods, including peanut."
【1】The new US guidance may agree that _________ .
A. children can have peanut-containing food freely
B. parents can feed kids peanut until they are three
C. early exposure to peanut can reduce peanut allergy
D. young children should not eat whole peanut to avoid allergy
【2】The underlined word in Paragraph 6 means __________ .
A. easily influenced
B. seriously disabled
C. mentally healthy
D. terribly tired
【3】What can we learn from Michael Walker?
A. The use of the guidelines should be limited in the UK.
B. The guidelines are scientific and thus can be trusted.
C. Parents should do peanut allergy prevention themselves.
D. Many doctors in the UK don’t agree with the guidelines.
【4】What might be the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To warm parents of the possible danger peanut may bring.
B. To recommend delaying the introduction of allergenic foods.
C. To compare two different scientific research on peanut allergy.
D. To introduce a new way of reducing the risk of peanut allergy.
29、Native to forests of Central and South America, glass frogs in the Centrolenidae family get their name from their skin and muscles that help them be perfectly fit to live in their jungle environment. Turn the frogs over, where the effect is the most impressive, and you’ll make out their hearts, livers, and other organs through their hyaline bellies (肚子).
And in a study published in the journal Science, researchers have discovered an amazing mechanism (机制) the animals use to become so clear.
When glass frogs go to sleep, they take in 89 percent of their brightly colored red blood cells into sacs (液囊) in their livers, which reflect incoming light and make the frogs appear nearly unseen. With their red blood cells out of view, the frogs become twice to three times more clear — a trick scientists believe helps the animals avoid being killed and eaten by their natural enemies.
“The trick is really hard to do, because their tissues are full of things that take in and spread light. And transparency (透明) is normal for many creatures in water, but hard on land,” says study co-author Jesse Delia. “Red blood cells also take in a lot of light, and we found that the frogs can actually hide themselves by packing them into the liver.”
Not only are the findings interesting, but the researchers attach great importance to them. That’s because many red blood cells in one place usually form a clot (血块), which can block and lead to a potentially life-threatening condition. But the frogs can seemingly clot and expand their red blood cells at will — without any negative effects. This may mean the animals already have what medical researchers have been seeking for decades: a biological mechanism which prevents too much bleeding while also preventing too much clotting.
【1】What does the underlined word “hyaline” mean in paragraph 1?
A.See-through.
B.Powerful.
C.Narrow.
D.Good-looking.
【2】What is the new discovery about glass frogs?
A.The frogs fit in their environment better.
B.Sacs filled with red blood cells make the frogs clear.
C.Red blood cells in the frogs’ liver reflect light.
D.The frogs are able to take in a lot of bright colors.
【3】What does Jesse Delia think of glass frogs’ trick?
A.Interesting.
B.Unusual.
C.Shocking.
D.Annoying.
【4】Why do the researchers consider the findings important?
A.They help cure serious diseases.
B.They are a blessing for wild animals.
C.They can lead to advances in medicine.
D.They will prevent all clotting and bleeding.

Heighten Your Appreciation of Music
Music is such a fundamental part of human culture that it likely pre-dates literacy, the invention of the wheel, and even the musical note itself. While people generally know what kind of music they like — and what they don’t — it’s possible to expand your appreciation by learning new ways to listen. Here are some tips for cultivating sensitive awareness of musical elements.
You might feel frightened picking up a guitar or sitting down at a piano — but learning an instrument can help you better understand how a song comes together and what role a specific type of sound plays in the composition. Moreover, the movement and effort of a live performance can often focus your attention on parts of a song you may have otherwise missed. So, the next time you hear a song — particularly a classical arrangement — try to imagine it being performed. Or, try to picture a scene (a thunderstorm, a race) that best fits the mood and tempo of the piece.
It’s certainly not necessary to grab your favorite musician’s biography in order to appreciate a good ditty, but it may help you better understand the context in which he or she wrote the lyrics or recorded a track. Researching backgrounds can also lead you to discover social and political influences at the time the music was created.
It could be hard to appreciate a warm day unless you’ve spent a winter freezing. Likewise, listening to music requires a contrast that helps you better understand how organized and harmonious it can be. Listen to — don’t just hear — common, everyday noises. While some may be irritating, others may have a melody all their own. Either way, you’ll return to a piece of music with a new respect for a focused, deliberate bit of sound.
