When a l3-year—old Virginia gifl started sneezin9，her parents thought it was merely a cold.But when the sneezes continued for hours，they called in a doctor． Nearly two months later the girl was still sneezin9。thousands of times a day，and her case had attracted worldwide attention.
Hundreds of suggestions．ranging from“put a clothes pin on her nose”t0“have her stand on her head”poured in．But nothing did any good．Finally，she was taken tO Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr．Leo KaIlner．one of the world’s top authorities on sneezin9，solved the baffling(難以理解的)problem with great speed．
He used neither drugs nor surgery，curiously enough，the clue for the treatment was found in an ancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze．It was all in her mind，he said．a(chǎn) view which Aristotle，some 3，000 years earlier，would have agreed with heartily．
Dr．Kannesimply gave a modem psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too much s11eezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled；and he began tO treat the girl accordingly.
" Less than two days in a hospital room，a plan for better scholastic and vocational adjustment，and reassurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer tO an ex．sneezer．”he reported．
Sneezing has always been a subject of wonder，awe and puzzlement．Dr．Kanner has collected thousands of superstitions concerning it．The most universal one is the custom Of begging for the blessing of God when a person sneezes—a practice Dr．Kanner traces back tO the ancient belief that，a sneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit． Strangely，people over the world
stilcontinue the custom with the traditional，‘‘God bless you”or its equivalent
When scientists look at the sneeze，they see a remarkable mechanism which，without，any conscious help from you，takes on a job that has tO be done．When you need to sneeze you neeze，this being nature's clever way of getting rid of an annoying objec from the nose．The object may be Just some dust in the．nose which nature is striving to remove．
The girl sneezed continuously because she_____.
A．was ill

47、 When the girl began to sneeze continuously，______．

D．many doctors treated her in different ways

51、根據(jù)下列材料，回答51-65題
There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic．At present，we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution，the problem is literally worldwide．On several occasions over the Dast decade，a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic．In fact，the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution．Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil)is creating a“greenhouse effect”-conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’S average temperature．If this view is correct and the world’S temperature is raised onlv a few degrees，much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York，Boston，Miami，and New Orleans will be in water．
Another view，less widely held，is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’S temperature-a result that would be equally disastrous．A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age，and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas．Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen(though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible)．Perhaps，if we are lucky enough，the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’S temperature will stay about the same as it is now．
Driven by economic profit，people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the“advanced civilization”．Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development．But is it really worthwhile?
As pointed out at the beginning of the passage，people used to think that air pollution ______．
A．caused widespread damage in the countryside
B．a(chǎn)ffected the entire eastern half of the United States
C．had damaged effect on health
D．existed merelyin urbanandindustries areas
52、 As to the greenhouse effect，the author______．
A．shares the SalTle view with the scientists
B．is uncertain of its occurrence
C．rejects it as being ungrounded
D．thinks that it will destroy the world soon
53、 The word“offset”in the second paragraph could be replaced by_____．
A．slip into
B．make up for
C．set up
D．catch up with
54、 It can be concluded that______．
A．raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life
B．lowering the world’S temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster
C．a(chǎn)lmost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade
D．the world’S temperature will remain constant in the years to come
55、 This passage is primarily about______．
A．the greenhouse effect
B．me burning of fossil fuels
C．the potential effect of air pollution
D．the likelihood of a new ice age
56、 根據(jù)下列材料，回答56-70題
My family and I recently returned from a trip to Alaska，a place that combines supernatural beauty with a breathtaking amount of bear risks．I’11 start with some facts at a glance：
WHERE ALASKA IS：Way the hell far from you．Beyond Mars．
HOW YOU GET THERE：You sit in a variety of airplanes for most of your adult life．
WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THAT WILL TRY TO KILL YOU：Bears．
I am quite serious about this．Although Alaska is now an official state in the United States with modem conveniences such as rental cars and frozen yogurt，it also allows a large number of admitted bears to stride freely。and nobody seems to be the lea§t bit alarmed about this．In fact，the A1askans seem to be proud of it．You walk into a hotel or department store，and the first thing you see is a glass case containing a stuffed bear the size of a real one．Our hotel had two of these.It was what we travel writers call‘‘a(chǎn) two bear hotel”．Both bears were standing on their hind legs and btriking a pose that said：“Welcome to Alaska!1’m going to tear your arms off!”
This struck me as an old concept, greeting visitors with a showcase containing a major local hazard It’s as if an anti—drug organization went around setting up glass display cases containing btuffed drug smugglers(走私者)，wim little plaques(胸章)stuting how much they weighed and where they were taken。
Anyway，we decided the best way to deal with our fear of bears was to become well informed about them,so we bought a book,Alaska Bear Tales．Here ale some of the chapter titles．which I am not making up：
“They’ll Attack Without Warning”
‘‘They’II Really Attack You”
“they Will Kill”
“Come Quick!，’m Being Eaten byaBear’
“They Can Be Funny”
Ha-ha!I bet they Can．I bet Mr．a(chǎn)nd Mrs．Bear will fight playfully over the remaining portion of a formertourist plumped up by airline food．But just the same，I’m glad tllat the oIllv actual bears that we saw were in the Z00．
What is the tone ofthe story?
A．Serious．
B．Complex．
C．Comic．
D．Disapproving．
57、 Which of the following is the author in favour of？
A．Airline food．
B．Drug smugglers．
C．Bears．
D．Bears in zoos．
58、 Why does the author mention stuffed drug smugglers?
A．Because they Can attack without warning just like bears．
B．Because they are used to give warnings to visitors about bears．
C．Because they are as funny as stuffed bears．
D．Because they are used to show the oddness of tlle smffedbears．
59、 What’S the author’S impression of Alaska?
A．Positive．
B．Negative
C．Neutral．
D．Funnv．
60、 What can we learn from the passage about Alaskans?
A．They are fond of bears．
B．They don’t know how to treat tourl‘sts．
C．They want to frighten tourists away．
D．They live a very natural life．

Liu：
To me，work is first and my child is second．1 work more for myself than for mv child be． cause it’s the only way to be economically independent．Otherwise．I may some day lose everything，even my child．
I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career．Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby．
I resumed working after a short maternity(產(chǎn)婦的)leave．Now my daughter goes to kinde garten while I am at work；I think that is her first step into society．
Liang：
Nowadays，economic independence is particularly important to women．The only way to realize self-value is through work．I believe women should first live as a social entity(實體)，then as a mother．And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working wofld．
Child is just another part of my life，it would be impossible to make her my whole life．I think 1 will also get a nanny(保姆)to lend me a hand．
Ya0：
When women make their career as their final pursuit，I think they lose their natural matemal instincts． I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and familV． Because she gives birth to the child，she can do a much better job than the father in understaIlding the child． The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant．
Wang：
Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production． Married women must assume the role of full'time mothers if their financial situation penIlits it；and a woman’s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child．
Zhao：
Although we may say women’s talents lie in being mothers，we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career．Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work．After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields．

When a l3-year—old Virginia gifl started sneezin9，her parents thought it was merely a cold.But when the sneezes continued for hours，they called in a doctor． Nearly two months later the girl was still sneezin9。thousands of times a day，and her case had attracted worldwide attention.
Hundreds of suggestions．ranging from“put a clothes pin on her nose”t0“have her stand on her head”poured in．But nothing did any good．Finally，she was taken tO Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr．Leo KaIlner．one of the world’s top authorities on sneezin9，solved the baffling(難以理解的)problem with great speed．
He used neither drugs nor surgery，curiously enough，the clue for the treatment was found in an ancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze．It was all in her mind，he said．a(chǎn) view which Aristotle，some 3，000 years earlier，would have agreed with heartily．
Dr．Kannesimply gave a modem psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too much s11eezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled；and he began tO treat the girl accordingly.
" Less than two days in a hospital room，a plan for better scholastic and vocational adjustment，and reassurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer tO an ex．sneezer．”he reported．
Sneezing has always been a subject of wonder，awe and puzzlement．Dr．Kanner has collected thousands of superstitions concerning it．The most universal one is the custom Of begging for the blessing of God when a person sneezes—a practice Dr．Kanner traces back tO the ancient belief that，a sneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit． Strangely，people over the world
stilcontinue the custom with the traditional，‘‘God bless you”or its equivalent
When scientists look at the sneeze，they see a remarkable mechanism which，without，any conscious help from you，takes on a job that has tO be done．When you need to sneeze you neeze，this being nature's clever way of getting rid of an annoying objec from the nose．The object may be Just some dust in the．nose which nature is striving to remove．

51、根據(jù)下列材料，回答51-65題
There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic．At present，we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution，the problem is literally worldwide．On several occasions over the Dast decade，a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic．In fact，the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution．Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil)is creating a“greenhouse effect”-conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’S average temperature．If this view is correct and the world’S temperature is raised onlv a few degrees，much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York，Boston，Miami，and New Orleans will be in water．
Another view，less widely held，is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’S temperature-a result that would be equally disastrous．A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age，and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas．Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen(though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible)．Perhaps，if we are lucky enough，the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’S temperature will stay about the same as it is now．
Driven by economic profit，people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the“advanced civilization”．Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development．But is it really worthwhile?
As pointed out at the beginning of the passage，people used to think that air pollution ______．
A．caused widespread damage in the countryside
B．a(chǎn)ffected the entire eastern half of the United States
C．had damaged effect on health
D．existed merelyin urbanandindustries areas
52、 As to the greenhouse effect，the author______．
A．shares the SalTle view with the scientists
B．is uncertain of its occurrence
C．rejects it as being ungrounded
D．thinks that it will destroy the world soon
53、 The word“offset”in the second paragraph could be replaced by_____．
A．slip into
B．make up for
C．set up
D．catch up with
54、 It can be concluded that______．
A．raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life
B．lowering the world’S temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster
C．a(chǎn)lmost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade
D．the world’S temperature will remain constant in the years to come
55、 This passage is primarily about______．
A．the greenhouse effect
B．me burning of fossil fuels
C．the potential effect of air pollution
D．the likelihood of a new ice age
56、 根據(jù)下列材料，回答56-70題
My family and I recently returned from a trip to Alaska，a place that combines supernatural beauty with a breathtaking amount of bear risks．I’11 start with some facts at a glance：
WHERE ALASKA IS：Way the hell far from you．Beyond Mars．
HOW YOU GET THERE：You sit in a variety of airplanes for most of your adult life．
WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THAT WILL TRY TO KILL YOU：Bears．
I am quite serious about this．Although Alaska is now an official state in the United States with modem conveniences such as rental cars and frozen yogurt，it also allows a large number of admitted bears to stride freely。and nobody seems to be the lea§t bit alarmed about this．In fact，the A1askans seem to be proud of it．You walk into a hotel or department store，and the first thing you see is a glass case containing a stuffed bear the size of a real one．Our hotel had two of these.It was what we travel writers call‘‘a(chǎn) two bear hotel”．Both bears were standing on their hind legs and btriking a pose that said：“Welcome to Alaska!1’m going to tear your arms off!”
This struck me as an old concept, greeting visitors with a showcase containing a major local hazard It’s as if an anti—drug organization went around setting up glass display cases containing btuffed drug smugglers(走私者)，wim little plaques(胸章)stuting how much they weighed and where they were taken。
Anyway，we decided the best way to deal with our fear of bears was to become well informed about them,so we bought a book,Alaska Bear Tales．Here ale some of the chapter titles．which I am not making up：
“They’ll Attack Without Warning”
‘‘They’II Really Attack You”
“they Will Kill”
“Come Quick!，’m Being Eaten byaBear’
“They Can Be Funny”
Ha-ha!I bet they Can．I bet Mr．a(chǎn)nd Mrs．Bear will fight playfully over the remaining portion of a formertourist plumped up by airline food．But just the same，I’m glad tllat the oIllv actual bears that we saw were in the Z00．
What is the tone ofthe story?
A．Serious．
B．Complex．
C．Comic．
D．Disapproving．
57、 Which of the following is the author in favour of？
A．Airline food．
B．Drug smugglers．
C．Bears．
D．Bears in zoos．
58、 Why does the author mention stuffed drug smugglers?
A．Because they Can attack without warning just like bears．
B．Because they are used to give warnings to visitors about bears．
C．Because they are as funny as stuffed bears．
D．Because they are used to show the oddness of tlle smffedbears．
59、 What’S the author’S impression of Alaska?
A．Positive．
B．Negative
C．Neutral．
D．Funnv．
60、 What can we learn from the passage about Alaskans?
A．They are fond of bears．
B．They don’t know how to treat tourl‘sts．
C．They want to frighten tourists away．
D．They live a very natural life．

根據(jù)下列材料，回答61-65題
Liu：
To me，work is first and my child is second．1 work more for myself than for mv child be． cause it’s the only way to be economically independent．Otherwise．I may some day lose everything，even my child．
I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career．Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby．
I resumed working after a short maternity(產(chǎn)婦的)leave．Now my daughter goes to kinde garten while I am at work；I think that is her first step into society．
Liang：
Nowadays，economic independence is particularly important to women．The only way to realize self-value is through work．I believe women should first live as a social entity(實體)，then as a mother．And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working wofld．
Child is just another part of my life，it would be impossible to make her my whole life．I think 1 will also get a nanny(保姆)to lend me a hand．
Ya0：
When women make their career as their final pursuit，I think they lose their natural matemal instincts． I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and familV． Because she gives birth to the child，she can do a much better job than the father in understaIlding the child． The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant．
Wang：
Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production． Married women must assume the role of full'time mothers if their financial situation penIlits it；and a woman’s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child．
Zhao：
Although we may say women’s talents lie in being mothers，we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career．Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work．After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields．
