26、 Yesterday, the head of the US federal public health agency said it's on its highest warning level of the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa. More than 930 people are thought to have died from the virus so far in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Nigeria.
Ebola can be deadly in up to 90% of cases, depending on the type. The virus is spread through direct contact with body fluids from an infected person. There is currently no known cure or vaccine for the virus.
The reason why the market hasn't produced a drug to battle Ebola is that there are not many people who die from this disease. In the history of this disease, there have been probably fewer than 3,000 known deaths since 1976, among which only one was not in Africa. Besides, most drug companies are interested in drugs that will treat millions of people since it costs hundreds of millions of dollars to develop a drug. However, the U.S. government got interested in this because of its concerns about whether Ebola could actually end up as a terrorist agent. The government think it would be better if they develop some drugs in their back pocket, should somebody try to use this virus to attack people.
Although there hasn't been an effective cure for Ebola, at present there are three different methods to treating this disease. The first is very similar to other anti-viral drugs that are already at the market and this approach is being developed by a company called BioCryst Pharmaceuticals. The second one uses a completely different method, and it uses genetic material that can actually block the viruses’ own genetic material. This is a kind of far out idea and it's being developed by a Canadian company called Tekmira. And the third is a cocktail treatment of antibodies. This was the drug given to the two sick Americans. And it now also has been given to a Spanish minister who got sick while in West Africa.
At the current trend, within another few weeks, there will have been more cases in this outbreak than in all previous recognized outbreaks of Ebola put together. The governments in several countries have now introduced a number of measures aimed at preventing the spread of the virus.
【1】Why is American government interested in developing a cure for Ebola?
A.Because they believe it can bring good profits.
B.Because they foresee Ebola may spread in the U. S.
C.Because they think it can help millions of people.
D.Because they find Ebola might be used as a terrorist tool.
【2】Which of the following ways probably spreads Ebola virus?
A.Hugging. B.Kissing on the face.
C.Talking to a patient. D.Sharing injection needles.
【3】The technology of genetic project is applied in ______.
A.the treatment of Tekmira B.the new vaccine for the virus
C.the cocktail treatment of antibodies D.the drugs produced by BioCryst Pharmaceuticals
【4】What will the author probably present in the following paragraph?
A.The cases of former Ebola outbreaks. B.The importance of preventing Ebola.
C.The action taken by some governments. D.More examples of future outbreaks.
27、 On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more that they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet (芭蕾舞). Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time. All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%
“Children are affected by the same time crunch (危机) that affects their parents,” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents 19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)
All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids. “Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,” says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured(unorganized)play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to handle their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.
The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let’s face it, who’s got the time?
【1】By mentioning “the same time crunch” (Line 1, Para. 2) Sandra Hofferth means ______.
A.children have little time to play with their parents
B.both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time
C.children are not taken good care of by their working parents
D.both parents and children have trouble managing their time
【2】According to the author a child develops better if _______.
A.he has plenty of time reading and studying
B.he has more time participating in school activities
C.he is left to play with his peers in his own way
D.he is free to interact with his working parents
【3】We can infer from the passage that _______.
A.extracurricular activities(after-class activities) promote children’s intelligence
B.most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off
C.efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful
D.most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children
28、 Crosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China's tea houses and theaters.
Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin, entertained by the students of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan—all leading crosstalk artists of years past-for only 20 yuan. The success in Tianjin has also caused the comeback of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form began in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644﹣1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was well﹣known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.
Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, “face and voice”), crosstalk was the chief form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.
The Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Although there're hundreds of traditional pieces, they're constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. It's one of the characters that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.
“Crosstalk was in the doldrums (萎靡不振) with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). “But it has regained its popularity with crosstalk fans, especially young people, realizing its rare qualities.”
“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students,” said Wang. “They're sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”
【1】What does the underline phrase "draw on" mean in paragraph 6?
A.keep away from B.make use of C.think little of D.tum their back to
【2】What can we learn from the text?
A.Crosstalk first arose in Tianjin.
B.Crosstalk was mainly performed at teahouses in the past.
C.Crosstalk was the most popular art form in the 20th century.
D.Crosstalk didn't appear until the Qing Dynasty.
【3】Crosstalk has been a public art form partly because .
A.it is a popular traditional art after all
B.the pieces contain some famous folk tales
C.the crosstalkers make it return to teahouses
D.the pieces are made to suit the times and the audience
【4】We can learn that the future of crosstalk first lies in .
A.setting up more storytelling art schools B.beating TV and other arts
C.young people's understanding of its value D.a strong market
29、Recently, a case of lifeboat ethics occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink, the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting her to shore, Graham grabbed Rosie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.
It’s great story, but it doesn’t strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circumstances, lots of people also would have grabbed their Rosie first.
We have strange relationships with our pets. We look after our pets with great love and better health care than billions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies.As an extreme example of our feelings about pets, the Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the kind treatment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.
A recent paper by George Regents University demonstrates this human involvement with pets to an astonishing extent. Participants in the study were told a situation in which a bus is out o control, bearing down on a dog and a human. Which do you save? With responses from more than 500 people, the answer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?
Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog. But when people considered their own dog VS people less connected with them -- a distant cousin or a hometown stranger -- votes a favor of saving the dog came rolling in. And an astonishing 40% of respondents, including 46% of women, voted to save their dog over a foreign tourist.
What does a finding like this mean? First, it is that your odds aren’t so good if you find yourself in another country with a bus bearing down on you and a cute dog. But it also points to something deeper: our unprecedented attitude toward animals, which got its start with the birth of kind - hearted societies in the 19th century.
We prison people who abuse animals, put ourselves in harm’s way in boats between whales an whalers and show sympathy to Bambi and his mother. We can extend sympathy to an animal and feel its pain like no other species. But let’s not be too proud of ourselves. As this study and too much of our history show, we’re pretty selective about how we extend our kindness to other human beings.
【1】Which of the following is true according to the article?
A.The story of the Anleys and their dog was too unique to be newsworthy.
B.Most people surveyed choose to save their own dog rather than a human.
C.It wa in the 19th century that human beings started to love their pets.
D.Human beings are more and more concerned with animals nowadays.
【2】What is the function of the first of paragraph?
A.To create a relaxing mood for readers.
B.To present the theme of this essay straightly.
C.To lead in the main topic of this essay.
D.To raise problems that will be solved later.
【3】The author mentions Nazi laws in the third paragraph ________.
A.to show how cruel the Nazis’ were to the Jews
B.as an example to persuade people not to love pets
C.to illustrate the strange relationship between human and pets
D.as an example to display the kindness of the Nazis
【4】What does the author mainly argue for?
A.Pets are of great significance to us human beings.
B.We should rethink about out attitude towards animals and mankind.
C.It is kind of human beings to extend kindness to animals.
D.We should be selective when showing attitude toward other human beings.

A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
