17.A new U.S.government report says more than two million Americans fall ill each year with
drug-resistant bacterial infections(感染),and 23,000of 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 4,000result 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.

29.What's the best title of the passage?C
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
30.According to Frieden,we must take measures without delay to preserve effectiveness of antibiotics,orB.
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
31.Of those patients admitted to the hospital because of a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea annually,deaths add up toA.
A.at least 5.6%  B.about 25%    C.about 1.4%    D.at least 2.5%
32.One of the approaches through which drug resistance develops is thatA.
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.

Should I be thanking that misguided doctor?By falsely predicting that I could never work a day,he fueled my motivation into (59)D.He set the bar too (60)A and focused on what I wouldn't be able to do.Yet I proved what I could do.

As the years rolled by,we graduated form high school.With our mother behind us,talking and demanding respect,none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dorp-out.We all attained higher education.None of us have ever been arrested or divorced.Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country.She forced us to grow up into God-fearing,educated,honest adults.I am now trying to raise my three children.I am filled with pride when my children call me mean.Why?Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world.

9.Andrew Carnegie,known as the King of Steel,built the steel industry in the United States,and in the process,became one of the wealthiest men in America.His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline,when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.
Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work,but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society.He opposed charity,preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves."He who dies rich,dies disgraced",he often said.
Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name,including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh,which has a library,a museum of fine arts,and a museum of national history.He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University.Other philanthropic(慈善的) gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations,the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research,and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.
Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity.His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus(核心) of the public library system that we all enjoy today.

21.The author quoted"He who dies rich,dies disgraced"in the passage to showA.
A.He felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society
B.He opposed charity
C.The wealthy die from their fortunes
D.The wealthy die from not contributing to society
22.Carnegie's success includes the following aspects EXCEPTD.
A.his policy of expanding                B.his hard work
C.his ability to sell the product        D.his ability to produce the product.
23.Which of the following may NOT be philanthropic gifts to society according to the passage?C
A.the Carnegie Institute of Washington.
B.the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh.
C.the steel industry.
D.the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
6.Mountain biking is a great way to explore the outdoors,stay in shape,or just have fun.(36)C  Even though it's dangerous,if you ride with caution,it can be enjoyed by the entire family.
Mountain biking can best be characterized into three different styles---downhill,free riding,and cross country.Even though the different styles are similar in some ways,they still require different skills.(37)D
You can find groups that have mountain bike rides and competitions.You can look on the Internet or even in a local paper and see exactly what's available in your area.(38)E  Like all other sports,it takes time and practice.Those just beginning will have to get past the bumps and bruises from falling off the bike.
The bike you select is more of a personal choice,and a big determining factor on the type of riding you will be doing.Bikes come in all styles,shapes,and prices,which will make selecting one for yourself very difficult indeed.(39)G  A great mountain biker will become one with his or her own bike.When buying,make sure you check for comfort,how it fits,even how it is geared.
(40)F  Anytime you are riding,you should wear a helmet,along with knee and elbow pads.If you are following a group or riding in the woods you should strongly consider a pair of goggles as well.Safety should be your top priority and never taken lightly anytime you are mountain biking.

A.To buy a bike for mountain biking,you should mainly consider how much the bike costs you.
B.It takes practice to succeed for a great mountain biker.
C.Racing down the side of a mountain is a lot of fun indeed,although it can also be quite dangerous.
D.The style that you pick will determine the type of bike you get.
E.You may be able to find groups for the more advanced riders as well as beginners.
F.Mountain bike riding on unpaved roads can be very dangerous,as mentioned earlier.
G.Before you buy a bike,always ask to try it out first.
7.Thinking
Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious-we alone are aware that we are thinking.
No one knows how consciousness works-it is one of science's last great mysteries.
All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum(大脑皮质),which is at the top of your brain,and different kinds of thought are linked to different areas,called association areas.
Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes(脑叶)-two at the front(frontal and temporal lobes) and two at the back(occipital and parietal lobes).The frontal lobe is linked to your personality an it is where you have your bright ideas.The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you.The occipital lobe is where you record touch,heat and cold,and pain.The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body.The right half controls the left side.One half of the brain is always dominant in charge).Usually,the left side brain is dominant,which is why 90% of people are right-handed.
33.Which part of your cerebrum is most active when you are thinking a telephone call?B
A.The frontal lobe.
B.The temporal lobe.
C.The occipital lobe.
D.The parietal lobe.
34.Which of the following statements is True?A
A.One's personality has something to do with the frontal lobe.
B.Bright ideas come from the parietal lobe.
C.The occipital and temporal lobes are at the back of the cerebrum.
D.The occipital lobe is in charge of sound.
35.From the passage,we know the reason why around 10% of people are left-handed is thatC.
A.their fontal lobe is usually dominant
B.their temporal lobe is usually dominant
C.their right brain is usually dominant
D.their left brain is usually dominant.
