A new U．S．government report says more than two million Americans fall ill each year with drug—resistant bacterial infections(感染)，and 23，000 of them are dying as a result．The head of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[CDC]said that the number probably will grow．Officials warn that steps must be taken now to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotic(抗生素)drugs．

Without urgent action to stop that trend，warned Tom Frieden whose agency wrote the report，the miracle drugs to fight them won’t be available in the future．

“If we are not careful，the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection．But if we act now，we can preserve these medications while we continue to work on development of new medicines．”The report names a drug—resistant abuse of gonorrhea(淋病)，which causes about one quarter of a million hospitalizations in the United States annually．Of the number at least 1 4，000 result in death．

Drug resistance develops through the overuse and inappropriate use of anti—bacterial agents．These can be：doctors prescribing(开药) them to patients who have viral infections that are not affected by medicine meant to fight bacteria；patients not taking all of their medicine as prescribed，so the bacteria making them sick are only weakened，not killed；antibiotic use in healthy farm animals to prevent illness and promote growth．Antibiotic remainders left in meat and animal products can then lead to drug resistance in humans．

To limit the spread of resistant infections，experts recommend wider use of routine immunizations(预防)，as well as hand—washing in hospitals and other health care facilities．Also，the report urges hand—washing by food handlers．

Michael Bell，deputy director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at CDC，said Patients also can play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by asking health care providers a few simple questions．

1.What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Drug Resistance Developing Quickly in the US

B．Drug—Resistant Bacterial Infections Growing in the US

C．Actions for Preserving Anti-Bacterial Medications in the US

D．Preventions of Drug-resistant Bacterial Infections in the US

2.According to Frieden，we must take measures without delay to preserve effectiveness of antibiotics，or_____.

A．we will have to develop better medicines in place of antibiotics

B．there may be no effective anti-bacterial drugs for use in the future

C．we can’t find other medicines to cure serious illnesses in the future

D．more and more Americans will suffer from bacterial infections each year

3.Of those patients admitted to the hospital because of a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea annually，deaths add up to_____.

A．at least 5.6％ B．about 25％

C．about 1.4％ D．at least 2.5％

4.One of the approaches through which drug resistance develops is that_____.

A．people eat the meat with Antibiotic remainder in animals

B．doctors prescribe less antibiotics than needed for patients

C．doctors prescribe much more antibiotic than needed for patients

D．patients don’t take their ant-bacterial agents that doctors prescribe

Several months ago, I attended the opening event for a new children's literacy(读写能力) campaign at the Burbank Library in California. The campaign is called Marvel Comics Close－Up, aimed at using comic books to encourage kids to read. Disney and Marvel donated 210，000 books to libraries and schools across the country.

Stars from Disney XD participated. They read Spider－Man comic books to 70 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs in southern California. The stars included Drake Bell (Ultimate Spider－Man), Dylan Riley Snyder (Kickin' It), Olivia Holt (Kickin' It) and Cole Jenson (Crash & Bernstein)．

Drake Bell said that the Marvel reading campaign is aimed at kids who are bored with books, believing comic books are the answer for kids who say they'd rather play video games. “Comic books really get you into the story，” he told TFK(Time For Kids). “They are not just words or pictures on a page.”

Dylan Riley Snyder knows from his experiences that comic books have the power to inspire kids' imagination. His mom was a teacher and she used comic books to interest students who thought they weren't interested in reading. Dylan attended these classes. He would read the comic books and draw the characters along with the students. “It was a great way for these kids to start to enjoy reading，” Dylan said. “That's how I got interested in reading too. Now I can share my love for comic books with others through the Marvel Comics Close－Up program.”

David Levine is the Vice President of Disney XD Worldwide. He said great stories and great characters, like Spider－Man and The Avengers, were key to making reading fun. “Reading can encourage you to explore new things and take you to all sorts of exciting places，” he told TFK.

1.What is the main purpose of the Marvel reading campaign?

A．To donate books to libraries and schools.

B．To encourage students to use the library.

C．To excite children's interest in reading.

D．To introduce some new comic books.

2.By saying “They are not just words or pictures on a page” in Paragraph 3, Drake Bell means ________．

A．comic books make kids imaginative and interested

B．there are colorful pictures in most comic books

C．common books with only words are bad for kids

D．comic books are much better than common books

3.Who stressed the benefit of reading?

A．Drake Bell.

B．Dylan Riley Snyder.

C．Olivia Holt.

D．David Levine.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many of us feel sleepy in winter, but other species often take it a step further and hibernate (冬眠). 1. The body slows down and breathing, temperature and metabolic and heart rate all decrease. Dormice (睡鼠) head underground and hedgehogs (刺猬) hunker down in their nests.

Hibernation seems to do them good. But human cannot bed down for long periods. 2. To work out why we do not, first we need to find out why animals do. The most obvious reason for hibernating is to avoid the cold. Conditions are harsh and there is little food to eat, as fewer plants are growing. 3. Then they live off body-fat reserves until it’s time to wake up.

But a 2015 study of dormice found that they continued hibernating even when cold conditions had ended. 4. The key issue seemed to be connected with their main food: beech trees. The dormice need their seeds to reproduce, or for the baby dormice to gain enough body fat. In a harvest year, they produce plenty of seeds. Somehow the dormice could predict it. Otherwise, they stop reproduction these years and increase their survival by staying underground.

5. By staying out of sight, the dormice avoided being hunted by their predators (天敌) like owls. Until recently people thought hibernation was just about energy saving, a defense against cold weather and food shortage, and now we think it’s more predator avoidance. The survival rates in hibernation are close to 100%.

A. So obviously there are other reasons.

B. They were hibernating underground to save energy.

C. Hibernation is an extended period of energy-saving state.

D. All kinds of animals hibernate, from insects to birds and primates.

E. Why, if it is so beneficial, do we not hibernate?

F. The dormice had another reason to stay underground.

G. So many animals fatten themselves up during summer.
