27、Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1850. Stevenson liked to regard his childhood as a golden age; in reality it was also, as he later admitted, full of unpleasant dreams, sleeplessness and feverish colds, which resulted from a lung condition.

In September 1857, Stevenson went to Mr Henderson’s School, but because of physical weakness he stayed only a few weeks and didn’t return until October 1859. In October 1864, he was sent to Robert Thomson’s private school. Stevenson became a student at the University of Edinburgh from November 1867 and unwillingly prepared himself for the engineering profession. In April 1871, he told his father he cared for nothing but literature. His father was naturally disappointed, and they finally reached an agreement that his son should read law first. In fact, Stevenson published a historical essay in 1866 at his father’s expense.

All through his university years, when he was looked upon as a lazy student ignoring his formal education, Stevenson was in fact reading widely and conscientiously (勤勉认真地). He learned how to write by describing what he saw and, above all, by letting himself write in the same way as other authors did. In this way, he learned from a wide range of authors.

A turning point in Stevenson’s life came in the summer of 1873 when he met Professor Sidney Colvin and his friend Mrs Frances Sitwell, who recognized his potential and did all they could to support him. Colvin became Stevenson’s literary adviser and closest friend. In 1875, he became a lawyer, but he soon gave up the profession and devoted himself to literary work. Under   Colvin’s influence, Stevenson’s essays began to appear in magazines. From 1876, he began to write a series of essays containing light-hearted observations on life, and they became very popular.

【1】What can be learned from Paragraph 1 and 2?

A．He was in poor health as a child.

B．He unfortunately developed lung cancer.

C．He quit school owing to his poor grades.

D．He learned engineering with great enthusiasm.

【2】What did Stevenson’s father do in response to his love for literature?

A．He simply ignored it.

B．He firmly opposed it.

C．He deeply doubted it.

D．He conditionally supported it.

【3】How did Stevenson mainly improve his writing skills?

A．By reading widely.

B．By practicing regularly.

C．By copying others’ styles.

D．By giving descriptions of things.

【4】Which contributed most to Stevenson’s success in literature?

A．His great passion for literature.

B．The help from Colvin and Sitwell.

C．His careful observations on life.

D．His constant writing for magazines.

29、   Although vaccines are required for entry into school in most places in the United States, the government does allow for exceptions, like religious reasons.

In the last few years, the rates of vaccine-preventable illness have been on the rise. In most cases, these outbreaks began with children who were unvaccinated. To deal with this threat, some schools in New York have been refusing to allow unvaccinated children to attend school. Several parents thought this was unfair and filed lawsuits. Just recently, though, a court ruled in favor of the city schools.

The court made the right decision. Vaccine policy depends not only on the added protection that vaccines provide for those who get shots, but also on the decreased likelihood that anyone will come into contact with the disease. This is known as community immunity. It refers to the fact that when enough people are immunized, then there really can’t be an outbreak. And if there can’t be an outbreak, then everyone is protected.

This is important, because there are people who cannot be given immunizations for various reasons. For example, small babies can’t be given all vaccines.

In 1995, the chicken pox vaccine was introduced in the United States. Over time, more and more children received it. In 2011, a study looked at how the program affected the number of children who died from the disease.

The first thing noted in the paper was that death from chicken pox went down considerably after the vaccine was introduced. From 2001 through 2007, the rates of death remained much lower, with just a few children dying from chicken pox nationally each year.

What’s more from 2004 through 2007, not one child less than 1 year of age died in the United States from chicken pox. This is important, because we cannot give the chicken pox vaccine to babies. In other words, all those babies were saved not because we vaccinated them against this illness, but because older children were.

Therefore, people who refuse to vaccinate their children aren’t just putting themselves at risk — they’re putting everyone else in danger, too.

【1】Whose interest did the judges take into consideration?

A．Students’.

B．School leaders’.

C．Several parents’.

D．Unvaccinated kids’.

【2】What is needed to prevent disease outbreaks through “community immunity”?

A．Requiring everyone to be immune.

B．Vaccinating babies as early as possible.

C．Making sure enough people get vaccinated.

D．Separating unvaccinated people from vaccinated.

【3】What does the study about the chicken pox vaccine show?

A．The vaccine is safe for every kid.

B．No deaths have been seen since 2004.

C．The vaccine has lowered the death rate.

D．The vaccine is more effective among babies.

【4】Which of the following would the author agree with?

A．No vaccine, no risk.

B．No vaccine, no school.

C．Vaccination is a personal choice.

D．Vaccine-preventable illness is dropping.
