第二节：读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150左右的英语短文。

Let’s face it. You are constantly exposed to common uses. There is nothing you can do about them. However, you can greatly influence the effect of those viruses on your health. Don’t accept that the flu or common cold is something you have to suffer from time to time. Stop this thought and keep yourself and your entire family healthy regardless of the weather or season. These 4 easy tips will help you to reduce the number of times you are down with the flu or common cold.

1. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables daily.

They will provide you with important nutrients, mainly vitamins, which are needed to increase

your ability to win the fight against common viruses.

2. Drink plenty of water.

The water runs through your body, removing everything your body wants to get rid of. Stop drinking water 30 minutes before a meal and wait for 2 hours after a meal. This will prevent the water from diluting your digestive juices.

3. Sleep more than 8 hours per night.

If you often fail to have enough sleep, not only will you feel tired, but also your immune system will work less efficiently. You will be more easily affected by viruses.

4. Think positively and keep an optimistic view on your life situations.

Your mind and your immune system talk with each other. Your encouraging thoughts will bring the best out from your immune system. Keep always in mind that your reaction to the first sign of the flu or common cold should be something like: I am sure my immune system will easily win the fight against those viruses. I am going to stay healthy!

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答卷标号为3l-40的相应位置上。

A man, now old, went overseas 40 years ago. On his     31      ( depart ), the girl he loved gave him as a souvenir a heart-shaped knot made of knitting wool. He     32     ( hang ) it on his belt ever since.

Several years later he got married and had children. As time went by his sweetheart’s      __33___ ( look ) became dimmer and dimmer like a landscape picture    34     ( fade ) away gradually, and his homeland only appeared in his dreams. In the evening of his life he often looked at the knot and sighed.

One day his grandson caught sight of the knot and insisted on getting hold of it as a toy. The boy fondled ( 抚弄 ) and tried to unfold it. At last he did    35     trick and got it loose and open.

When it      36       ( spread ) out it resumed ( 重获 ) its form as a long thread, a very simple wool thread.      37    by the skillful hands of a beloved girl could the thread be knitted into such a complicated knot. Devoted love made so many simple things complex in the world.

Thus the old man was awoken to get a truth. Most of the grievances ( 抱怨 ), bitterness and hatred in life actually result from very small matters.      38      one is mindful of them, they become mental knots. But if one sees     39      the knot, it remains a simple thread or line, no matter     40      shape it assumes.

GENEVA(Reuters) -Pregnant women and other people at high risk should be vaccinated(注射疫苗) against the H1N1 swine flu virus as the cold weather begins to bite in the northern hemisphere(半球), the World Health Organization(WHO) said on Tuesday.

It voiced concern that some vulnerable(弱势的) people don’t have access to the pandemic(传染病) vaccine, which the WHO stressed had not caused any unusual side effects in hundreds of thousands of people to have received it worldwide so far.

“Certainly the fact that the vaccine isn’t being used by those who would have access to it and who would be in priority risk groups is of concern, yes,” WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told a news briefing.

At least 5, 712 people have died from the swine flu virus, according to the United Nations agency. Health workers, pregnant women and people with conditions such as asthma are deemed at greatest risk and should be top priority for getting the shot.

“We have seen many, many examples of people in high risk groups such as pregnant women who have very severe disease or outcomes. These outcomes could be in all likelihood avoided if one were to get vaccinated,” Hartl said.

Unlike seasonal flu, which is most dangerous to the elderly, H1N1 is hitting younger adults and children especially hard.

The WHO recommends a single vaccine dose for protecting adults against H1N1. It has also urged governments to consider giving a single dose to as many children under age 10 as possible, but says more research is needed into child dosages.

In the United States, studies show that children under the age of 9 will need two doses of the vaccine to be fully protected, officials there said on Monday.

Parts of North America and Europe have already crossed the epidemic (流行病) threshold( 开始了), ahead of the normal influenza season which peaks in January-February for the northern hemisphere, WHO says.

51.According to the passage, what is WHO probably most concerned about now?

A. Whether the vaccine has side effect or not.

B. How many people are infected by the H1N1 swine flu virus.

C. Whether pregnant women and those at high risk can get the vaccination.

D. What is the difference between H1N1 and seasonal flu.

52.According to the passage, what group of people are more vulnerable to H1N1 swine flu virus?

A. The elderly.                  B. A teenager with asthma. 

C. An adult with heatstroke.               D. A newly-born baby.

53.In paragraph 4, “getting the shot” means ____________.

A. being shot      B. being vaccinated     C. being cured     D. getting killed

54.What can we learn from this passage?

A. Pregnant women will surely get severe disease if infected with H1N1.

B. Seasonal flu is more likely to hit younger adults and children.

C. one more dose of vaccine should be given to the children under 9.

D. About 6000 people have died from seasonal flu.

55.   Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Pregnant women need flu shot. 

B. Differences between H1N1 flu and seasonal flu.

C. The harm caused by H1N1 swine flu virus.

D. A breakthrough in H1N1 cure: vaccination.

An Internet war of words is violent between China’s younger generations---the 1980s and the 1990s---commonly known as the “Strawberries” and the “Jellies”. It’s about values and identity, who’s patriotic and responsible, who’s spoiled.

The Strawberries see the Jellies as “self-centered and irresponsible, materialistic, spoiled kids.” while the Jellies see the Strawberries as “out-of-date.”

Retired English teacher Paul Wang has taught both the 1980s and 1990s students and worries more about kids the latter. “I worry more about the 1990s, because kids from the 1980s, although naughty and rebellious, would still listen to teachers, if not fear teachers. They have different opinions and would argue with me, but there was still respect.” Kids today are different, says Wang. “They know your salary, they know that you won’t criticize them and many of them don’t respect us any more.”

Since the earthquake on May 12th, media have shown a greater appreciation of the 1980s generation. “ We used to feel disappointed about the 1980s, but they showed unbelievable courage and energy after the earthquake and proved they are patriotic and responsible enough to support this nation. However, the 1990s generation is listless. They don’t know what they want because they have everything. They don’t care about anything else except themselves.”

For many environmentalists, the world seems to be getting worse.

34  a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more abundant not less so. Second,  35  food is now at any time in history. Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected   36  (disappear) in the next 50 years, not 25~50%, as has so often been predicted. And finally, most forms of environmental pollution   37  appear to have been predicted, or are too short– associated  38  the early stages of industrialization.   39  bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it. yet opinion polls suggest that many people develop the   40  (believer) that environmental standards are declining and some factors seem to cause this disjunction.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Is a mouse that can speak acceptable? How about a dog with human hands or feet? Scientists, the people with the know-how to make such things happen, are now thinking about whether such experiments are morally right or not.

    On Nov. 10, Britain’s Academy of Medical Sciences launched a study on the use of animals with human materials in scientific research. The work is expected to take at least a year, but its leaders hope it will lead to guidelines for scientists in Britain and around the world on how far they can go mixing human genes into animals in search of ways to fight human diseases.

“Do these constructs (构想) challenge our idea of what it is to be human?” asked Martin Bobrow, a professor of medical genetics at Cambridge University and chair of a 14-member group looking into the issue. “It is important that we consider these questions now so that appropriate boundaries are recognized.”     

Using human material in animals is not new. Scientists have already created monkeys that have a human form of the Huntingdon’s gene so they can study how the disease develops; and mice with livers (肝) made from human cells are being used to study the effects of new drugs.

However, scientists say the technology to put ever greater amounts of human genetic material into animals is spreading quickly around the world --- raising the possibility that some scientists in some places may want to go further than is morally acceptable.

     Last year in Britain there was a lively debate over new laws allowing the creation of human-animal embryos (胚胎) for experiments. On one side of the debate were religious groups, who claimed that such science interferes with nature. Opposing them were scientists who pointed out that such experiments were vital to research cures for diseases.

The experts will publish reports after the end of the study, in which they will give definitions (定义) for animal embryos with human genes or cells, look at safety and animal welfare issues, and consider the right legal framework to work within. 

1. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

   A. Scientists in Britain and around the world.              B. Leaders of the research.

   C. Guidelines for scientists.                          D. Scientific experiments.

2. Scientists do research of mixing human genes into animals in order to ____.

   A. test new drugs on animals    B. to find ways to fight human diseases

   C. prove the research is morally acceptable

   D. create monkeys and mice with livers made from human cells

3. We can infer from the passage that ____.

   A. the experts will release reports after the study

   B. scientists have never doubted the use of animals with human materials

   C. the creation of human-animal embryos for experiments is legal in Britain

   D. religious groups hold that cures for diseases have to be done through experiments

4. What would be the best title of the passage?

A. Morally right or not?                   B. A debate about new laws

C. Cures for diseases                      D. Animal embryos with human genes

5. Where is the passage from?

  A. A science textbook                     B. A science booklet  

C. the science column of a newspaper       D. A science magazine for teenagers
