题目内容

8．Every evening after dinner，_____ tired from work，I will spend some time reading．（　　）
A．unlessB．ifC．untilD．when

分析 每天晚餐后，如果不累的话，我会读一些东西．

解答 答案：A．根据 tired from work（上班累了）和I will spend some time reading（我会读一些东西）可知句义应该表示如果不累的话，我会读一些东西，所以答案是A unless"如果不，除非"，其他选项的含义分别是B"如果"；C"直到"；D"当…时"．

点评 考查从属连词．
unless是从属连词，引导条件状语从句，含有否定意义，相当于if条件状语从句的否定形式．所以unless=if not．注意：unless引导的条件状语从句和if条件状语从句，与其它时间状语从句一样，用一般现在时代替将来时．

20．A gust of wind blew a canvas chair across the yard．My eyes followed the circling dirt out to the road and down toward the school bus stop．I was going to miss walking down the road to 
catch the big school bus that took us into town to school．I enjoyed being with the teachers and the  other  students．Now  that  I  was  finished  with  school  I  seemed  to  have  lost  some  of  the excitement from my life．
As  I was  folding  the  canvas chair，Chatita Chávez drove  into our yard  in her  father's old truck．It made short loud sounds and sent out a trail of black smoke out of its tailpipe．She got out smiling as usual and excitedly pointed toward the storm that seemed to be moving toward us．
"I can't stay long，Nilda．There's a storm coming and I need to beat it home．"
I was glad to see her．"Yes，I think we're in for some bad weather．Come on in and have a cup of coffee at least，"I said as I took her into our kitchen．
"I'm so excited，Nilda!You'll never guess what I just did!"
I stopped pouring the coffee and turned and looked at her．
"I just went over to Edinburg and registered for junior college，"she said and looked at me and smiled．"Don't you want to go take classes with me？"
     I was astonished．I didn't know what to say．How could I go to college？I didn't have any money．I  gave  Chatita  a  cup  of  coffee．"I  don't  know．I  don't  think  I  can．Isn't  college expensive？"
Chatita  sat down  at  the  table  and began  adding  sugar  to her  coffee．"Not  really，and I'm working part-time at the packing shed（棚）on Canal Road．You could work there，too．"
The wind  began  to  gust  causing  the  house  to  occasionally make  sounds  and  shake．The lightbulb  hanging  over  the  table  flashed  off  and  on  and  I  heard  a  low  roll  of  thunder  in  the distance．
I hesitantly asked，"Do you think I could get a job at the packing shed？"
"Sure．My cousin is the boss．He'll give you a job．"
Mamá  came  into  the  kitchen  and  exchanged  greetings with Chatita．She must have  heard our conversation．
"I  think  it's  nice  that  you're  going  to  go  to  college，Chatita．What will  you  study？"my mother asked as she joined us at the table．
"I want to be a teacher．"
"A teacher!How nice!"Mamá said as she patted Chatita's arm．
"A teacher？"I asked．"Don't you need a degree？"
"You can start teaching before you get your degree．Clarence Duncan has been teaching in Brownsville since last year and I think Zulema will start this year．"
The lightbulb blinked again and went out．Mamá quickly arose from the table．"I'm going to have to bring in the lanterns．I knew I shouldn't have packed them away．"
"Well，Nilda，do you want to go？Because，if you do，you can go over to Edinburg with me tomorrow．"
I hesitated，then said，"Yes．I want to go．"My heart was beating fast．I couldn't believe how happy I was feeling．
"But I have to talk to Mamá and Papá．What if they won't let me？"
"You can at least go with me tomorrow and find out what it's all about．I'll come by for you around eight．"
Chatita left me sitting at the table staring at my cup of coffee．It seemed so unreal，this idea of me going to college．My parents had never had the opportunity for much education．Juana had quit school  to get married and Roberto and Zeke had graduated from high school as I had．But college？I would be the first one in my family to go to college．Yes，college was exactly what I wanted．
The day had  turned dark and  the  rain had started．My mother  came back  into  the kitchen with two lanterns．
"Mamá，I need to ask you something．"
She picked up a cloth and began to clean the dust from the lanterns．She looked at me and smiled．
"Mamá，if  I  could  find  a way  to pay，could  I  take  classes  at  the  junior  college？"I  asked，trying to control my excitement．
She stopped cleaning and raised her eyebrows．"What would you study，my daughter？"
"I think I want to be a teacher，"I quietly replied．
Mamá sat down at the table across from me．"Then，I would like for you to go to college，"
she said in a serious tone．
"What about Papá？Do you think he will allow me to go？"
"Your  father wants  you  to  be  happy．If  going  to  college  and  being  a  teacher makes  you happy，then he will probably allow it，"she answered．
I didn't say anything．I was enjoying the feeling of happiness and sense of wonder that had come over me．The two of us sat in the darkened room without speaking until  I saw my mamá rubbing her eyes with the edge of her apron．
"What's wrong，Mamá．"
"Nothing，"she replied．"I probably got some dust in my eyes．That's all．"

3．"Some day，there'll be no Americans left in the NBA，"said 12-year-old Xing Tao，who joined his school team two weeks ago after watching Yao Ming in a televised NBA game，"The players will all be Chinese，like Yao．"
To China，Yao is a home-grown superstar who helped make the world's first basketball league closer to Chinese players．To the NBA，the 2.23-meter center offers an opening of a different sort into the world's largest new market．Yao's NBA first appearance against the Indiana Pacers in October reached 287 million families in the US．That game might have been a bit of a letdown to Yao's fans：He played just 11 of the 48 minutes，had two rebounds（篮板） and got no points．Comparing that with his performance on December 19，also against Indiana，Yao won 29 points and 10 rebounds．"This was one of the most exciting games I've had，"Yao said after Houston's 95-83 victory．The NBA has to be excited about his on-count success．In all his games，he's averaging 12.7 points and 7.7 rebounds，quite good for a new star．"Yao Ming has brought the NBA closer to the Chinese，"said NBA spokeswoman Cheong Sau Ching，"That makes the dream seem practical for other people in China and proud to be Chinese．"

34．Why does Yao Ming win more popularity than Wang Zhizhi at home？A
A．He is modest and performs excellently
B．He is too kind to others．
C．More and more Chinese people like to watch his games
D．He is very modest but proud．
35．What's the main idea of this passage？B

18．Tamiflu does not kill but prevents H1N1from further proliferation （繁衍） till the virus limits itself in about 1-2weeks （its natural cycle）．H1N1，like other Influenza A viruses，only infects the upper respiratory tract and proliferates （only） there．The only way of entry are the nostrils（鼻孔） and mouth/throat．In a global epidemic of this nature，it's almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1．
Contact with H1N1is not so much of a problem as proliferation is．
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1infection，in order to prevent proliferation，some very simple steps can be practiced：
1．Frequent hand-washing．
2．"Hands-off-the-face"approach．Resist all temptations to touch any part of face （unless you want to eat or bathe）．
3．Gargle（漱口） twice a day with warm salt water （use Listerine if you don't trust salt）．H1N1takes 2-3days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms．Simple gargling prevents proliferation．In a way，gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one．Don't underestimate this simple，inexpensive and powerful preventative method．
4．Similar to 3above，clean your nostrilsat least once every day with warm salt water，Which is very effective in bringing down viral population．
5．Strengthen your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C．If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets，make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption．
6．Drink as much of warm liquids as you can．Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling，but in the reverse direction．They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive，proliferate or do any harm．
7．All these are simple ways to prevent，within means of most households，and certainly much less painful than to wait in long queues outside public hospitals．

57．What part of a person's body do H1N1flu viruses mainly infect？B
A．one's lung            B．the upper respiratory tract
C．one's heart           D．one's throat and lung
58．H1N1flu viruses go into our bodies byC．
A．touching          B．diet   
C．breathing         D．dirt
59．What does the underlined word"underestimate"mean？A
A．assign too low a value to
B．drop the cost of
C．pay more attention to
D．calculate the number of money
60．The author presents this passage byC．
A．telling an interesting story    
B．testing an idea by reasoning
C．introducing some practical methods   
D．describing some activities in a natural order．
