【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Imagination Stage is a children's theater in the state of Maryland. A special performance is put on for children with autism (自闭症) each day. People with autism have difficulty communcating and socializing with other people. Children in the theater are allowed to move around during the performance. It's OK if they shout out or hold their ears when the music is too loud. These special performances are sometimes the only thing that a family can go to the theater together to see if a child has autism.
That is the same idea with Autism on the Seas. This company organizes vacations for families of children with autism, especially vacations on cruise ships. Jamie Grover is director of group development in Autism on the Seas. He said, “With our staff on board, parents know that they are going to be able to relax, enjoy their vacation, and participate in ship activities. They know that their children are well taken care of.”
The benefit of such vacations organized by Autism on the Seas is not waiting in huge lines on departure day. The company has staff to help in the ports. Waiting in long lines or being in the middle of big crowds can cause problem behavior in children with autism. Autism on the Seas helps families avoid situations like that.
Autism on the Seas works with the help of cruise companies like Royal Caribbean. Special times or places are arranged for families to play video games, go skating or rock climbing, or eat dinner. Autism on the Seas also directs families to organizations that can help them pay for these vacations.
Bambi Van Woert from the state of Michigan went on a cruise with her 7-year-old Ben, who has autism. She said, “I would never do something like this myself. I cannot take Ben shopping by myself at this point, so for me to try to do a cruise without help would be absurd.”
(1)What makes the children's theatre Imagination Stage special?
A.That it only allows children with autism to enter.
B.That it puts on plays performed by people with autism.
C.That it mainly puts on plays about people with autism.
D.That it puts on special performances for kids with autism.
(2)What do we know about the company Autism on the Seas?
A.It helps families of children with autism pay for vacations.
B.It was started with the help of the cruise company Royal Caribbean.
C.It organizes vacations for families of children with autism.
D.It takes care of kids with autism while their parents are away.
(3)The third paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.some occasions that kids with autism should avoid
B.some behavioural problems of children with autism
C.some activities children with autism can take part in
D.the benefit of vacations organized by Autism on the Seas
(4)Bambi Van Woert is mentioned in the last paragraph to show that ________.
A.parents of a child with autism don't want such trips
B.parents of a child with autism live a very difficult life
C.children with autism don't like doing anything with their parents

【题目】根据短文内容的理解, 选择正确答案。 When my friend Lesa was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer, another friend and I went to the hospital to spend some time with her. We bought her a small toy and named him Lemon-Aide. We gave Lemon-Aide to Lesa and told her he was to go with her to all of her treatments to remind her that we were thinking of her and caring about her even though we could not always be with her. When the treatments were completed, she said when someone else needed him she would pass him along.
A few months later, much to my surprise, it was me that she passed him to. Lemon-Aide went with me to all of my treatments.
One day while waiting for my doctor I decided we could market the idea to fight cancer. Lesa thought it was a great idea so we founded the organization that came to be known as Lemon-Aide's Friends, Inc. We designed our organization to remind people fighting cancer that there are people who love and care about them all the time. Today we have totally 5013 volunteers. The money raised is donated to cancer patients who do not have insurance. The physicians on our Board of Advisors determine how and where our money is donated.
Lemon-Aide is for men, women, and children of all ages and to date has been sent to 34 states and 33 countries to provide smiling support for people fighting cancer. When life gave us lemons we made Lemon-Aide, a soft smiling toy that represents love, support, and encouragement.

Living near the beach may come with an extra perk (利益): better health. A new study analyzed information from more than 48 million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast, the more likely people were to report good health within the past year.
Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress, the researchers said. They pointed to another British study that found that people who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.
The difference from living near the coast was relatively small. But a small effect, when applied to an entire population can have a substantial impact on public health ,said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter, England.
However, it's too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health, Wheeler said. The study only found an association, not a cause-effect link, and it's possible that other factors could explain the results. For instance, it could be that people who are wealthier, and therefore healthier, are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast, Wheeler said, a phenomenon known as the migrant effect. But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas, which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results, Wheeler said.
Because the study looked at only England—an island country in which everyone lives within 72 miles of the coast—it's not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations. Far from England, a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesn't prove that people's health and the place they live are linked, it's possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.
If future studies confirm the results, the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health. Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas, through virtual environments, for instance.
(1)We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A.people are encouraged to move to the coast
B.people living near the sea may be healthier
C.people pay increasingly attention to health
D.people are worried about residential environment
(2)According to the researchers, living near the sea ______.
A.doesn't nearly affect the British population
B.can cure some difficult diseases in a way
C.can help get over one's stress
D.means freeing from sadness or troubles
(3)What Ben Wheeler said means ______.
A.the British public health is decreasing
B.concrete evidence favors life near the sea
C.wealthier people are likely to be healthier
D.exact reasons are proposed for further research
(4)What does the underlined word “proximity” in the passage mean?
A.being close
B.being distant
C.being similar
D.being opposite

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
People who smoke could lose around one third of their everyday memory, researchers say.
A study by a team at the University of Northumbria has shown that smokers lose more of their memory when compared to non-smokers. And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers.
The study involved more than seventy 18-to 25-year-old volunteers and included a tour of the university's campus. Those who took part were asked to recall(回忆;回想)small details, such as music acts listed to play at the students' union and tasks completed at various points---known as a real-world memory test.
Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 percent of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.
Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University's Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns. He said, “Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many as 45 million in America, it's important to understand the effects that smoking has on everyday cognitive function.”
This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an effect on memory. We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits to the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can bring a series of benefits to cognitive function. The research will now investigate the effects of second-hand smoking on memory, while Dr. Heffernan will look into third-hand smoking, such as toxins (毒素) left on curtains and furniture.
(1)What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Effects That Smoking Has on Health
B.New Research on Third-Hand Smoking
C.Smokers Have Much Worse Everyday Memory
D.Anti-Smoking Campaigns Are Active Around the World
(2)The underlined words, “kicked the habit”, in the second paragraph can be replaced by “___________”.
A.giving up smoking
B.smoked at times
C.smoked regularly
D.hated smoking
(3)What was the real-world memory test like?
A.It needed young volunteers to complete some tasks.
B.It was about making a tour of the university's campus.
C.It needed volunteers to act at the students' union.
D.It involved a tour and a process of recalling some details.
(4)We can learn from the passage that ___________.
A.America has twice as many smokers as the UK
B.the research findings will help anti-smoking campaigns
C.the effects of second-hand smoking on memory have been found by the study
D.those who have stopped smoking have as good a memory as non-smokers

With five breakout(破纪录的) games, Jeremy Lin has become the NBA's newest star.
In the New York Knicks' 92-85 won over the Los Angles Lakers last Saturday, Lin had a career-high 38 points. A day later, he led the Knicks to their fifth victory, 100-98 to Minnesota Timberwolves. In his previous games, Lin, 23, had 23 points against the Washington, 25 points against New Jersey and 28 against Utah in his first start.
Lin is smart. Before graduating from high school in California, he had sent his application to all the Ivy League Schools(常青藤联盟). He only got into Harvard and Brown, and he chose Harvard. In 2010, Lin graduated with a degree in economics.
Lin is the first Chinese-American player in the NBA. He was born in the US and his family is Asian. Although not born in China, Lin has attracted nearly all Yao Ming's old fans, who see him as a powerful role model.
He started off on the Golden State Warriors. Lin first signed with the Warriors in July, 2010, but seldom played in games before the start of the fourth quarter. His first time on the court for the Warriors earned him seven points, three rebounds(篮板球) and two assists in just 11 minutes.
He is really perfect for the Knicks. The New York Knicks has been in need of a reliable point guard and to Mike D'Antoni, the Knicks coach who's going through a difficult season, Lin is a most unexpected figure. Lin just does everything easy and the rest of the guys around him are playing the way we want to," D'Antoni said. "I think it's for real, and it can only get better."
(1)In which team did Lin start his career in NBA?
A.the New York Knicks
B.Minnesota Timberwolves
C.The Golden State Warriors
D.The Los Angles Lakers
(2)From the passage, we learn that.
A.most of Yao Ming's fans take Lin as a great role model
B.Lin is an American-Chinese basketball player
C.the New York Knicks has never been defeated
D.after graduation from Harvard, Lin signed with the Knicks
(3)From the passage, it can be inferred that.
A.Lin is the team leader of the Knicks
B.the Knicks' coach puts strong hopes on Lin
C.the Knicks' success only depends on Lin
D.the Knicks is sure to win the season this year
(4)The author's purpose of writing the report is.
A.to introduce a newest rising NBA star
B.to express his love for Jeremy Lin
C.to report the progress of the Knicks
D.to show his support for the Knicks
