题目内容
【题目】 Not long ago, no one understood that infectious diseases were caused by tiny organisms that moved from person to person. Even now, although we know that tiny living microbes cause disease, how they do so is not always obvious. 【1】 They can also be transmitted through our skin through insect or animal bites. The best way to prevent infections is to block pathogens (病菌)from entering the body.
The first line of defense is to keep germs at bay by following good personal health habits. Wash your hands well. You probably wash your hands after using the bathroom, before preparing or eating food, and after gardening or other dirty tasks. 【2】 Wet your hands thoroughly. Lather(泡沫)up with soap or cleanser, and rub it into the palms and backs of your hands and your wrists. Be sure to clean your fingertips, under your nails and between your fingers. Wash under running water. 【3】
Whether you are young or young at heart, getting vaccinated(接种疫苗)is an essential part of staying healthy. 【4】 such as a temporarily sore arm or low fever, they are generally safe and effective. Vaccinations are essential if you are to avoid getting sick. In general, children should receive the recommended childhood vaccinations. Adults should make sure their vaccinations are up to date. When traveling abroad, check with your health care provider about additional immunizations(免疫).
【5】 Stay clear of wild animals. Many wild animals, including bats, foxes and coyotes, can spread the virus to humans by biting. Keep your pets away from wild animals, too. Dogs, cats or any other type of warm-blooded animal can pick up the virus and pass the virus along to people.
A.Dry your hands and wrists thoroughly.
B.Use animal control to prevent infections.
C.While vaccines may cause some common side effects,
D.Although vaccines can not prevent some rare diseases,
E.Other wild animals can not transmit the virus and other infections.
F.We do know that most microbes enter through openings in the body.
G.You should also wash up after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
【答案】
【1】F
【2】G
【3】A
【4】C
【5】B
【解析】
本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了传染病传染的原因及防治方法。
【1】
结合后文The best way to prevent infections is to block pathogens (病菌)from entering the body.防止感染的最好方法是阻止病原体进入人体。F. We do know that most microbes enter through openings in the body. 我们知道大多数微生物确实是通过身体的入口进入的。解释后文防止感染最好的方法是阻止病原体进入人体,因为大多数病原体通过身体入口进入,导致人体感染。故选F项。
【2】
结合前文Wash your hands well. You probably wash your hands after using the bathroom, before preparing or eating food, and after gardening or other dirty tasks. 你可能在上完厕所后,准备食物或吃食物之前,以及在做园艺或其他脏活之后洗手。G. You should also wash up after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. 你还应该在擦鼻涕、咳嗽或打喷嚏后洗手。与前文需要洗手的情境为并列关系。故选G项。
【3】
结合前文Wet your hands thoroughly. Lather(泡沫)up with soap or cleanser, and rub it into the palms and backs of your hands and your wrists. Be sure to clean your fingertips, under your nails and between your fingers. Wash under running water. 把你的手彻底弄湿。用肥皂或清洁剂打起泡沫,然后擦到手掌、手背和手腕上。一定要清洁你的指尖,指甲下面和手指之间。用自来水冲洗。前文为洗手的步骤,洗手的最后需要擦手。A. Dry your hands and wrists thoroughly. 彻底擦干你的手和手腕。符合此处语境。故选A项。
【4】
结合后文Such as a temporarily sore arm or low fever, they are generally safe and effective. 如手臂暂时酸痛或低烧,一般是安全的,在发挥作用。可知,疫苗会引起手臂酸痛或低烧等症状。C. While vaccines may cause some common side effects, 虽然疫苗可能会引起一些常见的副作用。符合此处语境。故选C项。
【5】
结合后文Many wild animals, including bats, foxes and coyotes, can spread the virus to humans by biting. 许多野生动物,包括蝙蝠、狐狸和郊狼,可以通过咬人将病毒传播给人类。可知动物会传播疾病,防止感染需要管控动物。B. Use animal control to prevent infections. 使用管控动物的方法来防止感染。故选B项。
【题目】请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单 词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。
What makes us laugh?
Why do we laugh? Well it’s funny you should ask, but this question is a very interesting one to investigate. For what at first seems like a simple question turns out to require a surprisingly complex answer –– one that takes us on a journey into the very heart of trying to understand human nature.
Most people would guess that we laugh because something is funny. But if you watch when people actually laugh, you’ll find this isn’t the case. Laughter expert Robert Provine spent hours recording real conversations at shopping malls, classrooms, offices and cocktail parties, and he found that most laughter did not follow what looked like jokes. People laughed at the end of normal sentences, in response to unfunny comments or questions such as “Look, it’s Andre”, or “Are you sure?”. Even attempts at humor that provoked laughter didn’t sound that funny.
So if we want to understand laughter, perhaps we need to go deeper, and look at what is going on in the brain. The areas that control laughing lie deep in the sub cortex(下皮层), and in terms of evolutionary development these parts of the brain are ancient, responsible for primal(原始) behaviors such as breathing and basic reflexes(反射). This means laughter control mechanisms are located a long way away from brain regions that developed later and control higher functions such as language or even memory.
Perhaps this explains why it is so hard to control a laugh, even if we know it is inappropriate. Once a laugh is started deep within our brains these “higher function” brain regions have trouble interfering. And the opposite is true, of course. It is difficult to laugh on demand. If you consciously make yourself laugh it will not sound like the real thing – at least initially.
But this does not fully answer the original question. To answer this, perhaps we need to look outwards, to look at the social factors at play when people laugh. Provine’s study suggests that it isn’t just some independent process that happens to us while we are talking to someone. He also found that laughter was most common in situations of emotional warmth and so-called “in-groupness”.
Perhaps “transmission” is another most important feature of laughter. Just listening to someone laugh is funny. You can even catch laughter from yourself. Start with a forced laugh and if you keep it up you will soon find yourself laughing for real.
What these observations show is that laughter is both fundamentally social, and rooted deep within our brains, part and parcel of ancient brain structures. All these things are true. And biologists say each time we get closer to an answer for a fundamental question, it deepens our appreciation of the challenge remaining to answer the others. And there is a long way to go.
