1 Such as runny noses, sore throats, nothing quite like the common cold to make you feel miserable.But experts believe that there is no link between cold weather and catching colds. 2
Internal Medicine expert, Dr Meenakshi Jain of Max Hospital says, “One reason could be that people are likely to stay indoors, so the virus can spread easily. 3 ”
The common cold is a viral infection that can be caused by any of up to 250 strains of virus, the most common group of which are the rhinovirus that hit the nose.
4 “They are transmitted through the nose respiratory passages, by touch, and by contact with airborne particles that are created by sneezing or coughing,” says Dr Jain.
There is no cure for the common cold and antibiotics are of no help.However, there are some precautions which can help:

(江西省抚州一中2009届高三第四次模拟考试E篇)
Every day from the time we wake up until the time we go to bed, we are bombarded with information from all sides, from TV, radio, newspapers and books; from family, friends, and colleagues. As a new cable television subscriber, I am absolutely amazed at the quantity and varying levels of information quality on cable television. Including the networks, there are eight TV "news" organizations vying to provide us with all the information we can possibly absorb. Newspaper, magazines, books, radio, the Internet, email, snail mail, and the telephone all compete for our attention and our minds. At the office conversations around the water cooler and coffee maker serve to spread even more items of information.
There is valuable information out there about the world we live in, on topics as varied as health, safety, traffic, nutrition, business, finance, philosophy, nature, science, weather, history and the human condition. There is also a large amount of misleading and outright false information, not just on controversial subjects such as politics and religion but on any topic one can think of, including all of the topics mentioned above.
With all this information coming at us from all directions, how does one sift through it all to sort out the facts from the fiction, the truth from the lies, the more important from the less important? Should we turn off the TV, cancel our newspaper subscriptions, disconnect our phones and modems to become information "hermits"? Probably not.
A better method of sifting through the information wave without being overwhelmed and confused is to become a skeptical inquirer-or skeptic-with regard to the surrounding world. By "skeptic"-I do not mean a cynic-a person who rejects new ideas simply because they are new. A skeptic is one who questions the validity of a particular claim by calling for evidence to prove or disprove it. Skepticism is a method, not a position. It is a provisional approach to all factual claims. In terms of processing information, a skeptic needs to be able to grasp reality and acquire knowledge about the environment that agrees with reason, logic, and evidence. In other words, as skeptics, when we hear a claim that may or may not be fantastic, we should say, "That's nice, prove it."
72.The writer implies that if we want to make some judgments about some information, the first thing that we should do is to .
A. ask for the information B. cut off all channels of information
C. receive and go through the information D. become information "hermits"
73. What does the author say is the more reasonable approach to processing the information wave?
A. A skeptical approach. B. A subjective approach.
C. A cynical approach. D. A philosophical approach.
74. What can we conclude from the difference between a skeptic and a cynic?
A. Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too optimistic.
B. Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too pessimistic(opposite of optimistic).
C. Skeptics take a position but cynics are extreme in their attitude.
D. Skeptics reject all new ideas but cynics only reject some of them.
75. When faced with an incredible or fantastic claim, what shall we do according to the author?
A. Ask questions and look for proof. B. Ignore the information and its source.
C. Change the subject immediately.
D. Try to consult an expert who knows the truth.

,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。As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data.Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth.With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. 1 What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or statements.If the data are true, we don' t have to worry about being cheated.Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth.Therefore, many of us would rather believe data.
On the other hand', if we judge things only by data from the so -called specific research, aren't we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so -called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. 2 For example,how can you tell that somebody isn't a good student just because he or she doesn't get high marks in the final examination?
3 For example,the degree of your feeling happy in your life,the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country.We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.
There is no doubt that analyzing the exact data is important to assessment of an actual event.But data should be dealt with wisely.We often get wrong data which mislead us. 4 Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have.Data do not mean much to people if we do not have the abilities to analyze the data with the knowledge and confidence to judge whether they are true or false. 5
Data are data after all.Life is much more colorful than the pale data.So give the cold data a warm heart and we' ll find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe.
A.We should try our best to be wise thinkers.
B.Data can make our life easier and more comfortable.
C.But sometimes we may find that data aren't everything.
D.Sometimes our hearts and mind are more sensitive than data.
E.Now and then the so-called specific data puzzle us very much.
F.The exact data should come from assessment of an actual event.
G.There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data
