21、 When we hear of dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease are often what first comes to mind． Recently, a virus (病毒) called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea (a country in West Africa), killing 62 people so far． It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc, Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.

  Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976．There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Restoon, Bundibugyo, and Zaire．The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.

  Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats (果蝠), which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on (吮吸) their blood．Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids (液体) of the infected animals．Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.

  Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries．Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry — the capital of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus．It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.

  Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola．Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition．Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the affected．The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.

【1】The news of Ebola in Guinea is mentioned to ________.

A． make a brief summary

B． introduce the topic of the text

C． compare Ebola with cancer

D． show the latest study of viruses

【2】What can we learn about Ebola?

B． The influences of Ebola.

C． The treatments for Ebola.

D． How the Ebola virus spreads.

【4】Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

D． Females are more easily to be infected by Ebola.

22、Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival, or Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous (粘性的) rice flour (粉状物). We call these balls Yuanxiao or Tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, then became popular during the Tang and Song periods.

The fillings (馅料) inside the dumplings or Yuanxiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, walnuts (核桃), sesame（芝麻）, osmanthus flowers (桂花), rose petals（花瓣）. A single ingredient (原料) or any combination can be used as the filling. The salty variety is filled with minced meat (肉末儿), vegetables or a mixture.

The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough (生面团) of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet or nutmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.

The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.

【1】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Sweet Yuanxiao are usually made in southern China.

B. Sugar, rose petals and minced meat are all fillings of Yuanxiao.

C. The custom of eating Yuanxiao dates back to the fourth century.

D. People in northern China usually make Yuanxiao by rolling like a snowball.

③ shape the dough of rice flour into balls

④ close the hole

⑤ prepare some rice flour

A. ⑤③②①④   B. ⑤③①④②

C. ③①④②⑤     D.③⑤①②④

【4】What is the best title of this passage?

A. The Lantern Festival

B. The ingredients of Yuanxiao

C. China’s traditional food—Yuanxiao.

C. Because we love our country.

D. Because it’s promoted by both old and new stores.

23、   Born on a farm in 1876, Mordecai Brown couldn’t have imagined his life as a Major League Baseball pitcher (投手). When he helped his parents at age 5, his right hand accidentally was caught in a corn harvester, losing parts of two fingers or three fingers left. However, his disabled hand did not keep him from doing what other boys of his age were doing, like playing baseball.

While working as a coal miner in his twenties, Mordecai joined a baseball team made up of fellow coal miners. In 1898, the team’s pitcher injured his arm. The manager ordered Mordecai to act as the pitcher. Mordecai shook his head and held up his right hand as a reminder. But the manager didn’t care. “Since you have the best arm on the team, you will have to pitch.” Finally, his team won the game nine to three.

In 1903, Mordecai Brown broke into Major League Baseball when he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals. Only a year later, the management of the Cardinals decided that Mordecai’s disability would keep him from ever becoming a star pitcher. They traded him to the Chicago Cubs.

On a sunny October afternoon in 1908, thousands of people went to New York City’s Polo Grounds to see the New York Giants and the Chicago Cubs battle. Mordecai was not the pitcher at first. He watched as the chosen starter faced the batters (击球员) for the New York Giants. Soon, the batters were filling the bases.

Then, Mordecai was asked to be the pitcher. It seemed that the unfavorable condition didn’t affect him. He held the ball with his three fingers firmly and let it go. Strike one! Strike two! Strike three! The batter was out. And soon, the game was over. The Cubs beat the Giants, four to two.

Mordecai went on to pitch, winning one game after another, and retired after the 1916 season. In 1949, Mordecai Peter entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame in New York, earning him a well-deserved place in baseball history.

【1】What can we learn about Mordecai from Paragraph1?

A.His dream was to become a pitcher.

B.He felt desperate to lose his fingers.

C.His accident did not influence his life.

D.He was afraid to get along with other boys.

【2】In 1904, what happened to Mordecai Brown?

A.Mordecai Brown was traded to Chicago Cubs.

B.He broke into Major League Baseball.

C.He was much worse than before.

D.He contributed to the success of the match.

【3】How did he help his team win the game in 1908?

A.He shouted “Strike!” for times to frighten the batter.

B.He left the batter no chance to get the ball.

C.He let the ball go in different directions.

D.He struck the ball out directly.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Fighting for Fame

B.Growing on the team

C.A Three-fingered Star

D.The Most Pitiful Baseball Pitcher

24、The relationship between exercise and cancer has long both intrigued and puzzled oncologists and exercise physiologists.

Exercise is strongly associated with lowered risks for many types of cancer. At the same time, exercise involves biological stress, which typically leads to a short-term increase in inflammation(发炎) which can contribute to higher risks for many cancers.

Now, a new study in mice may offer some clues into the exercise-cancer paradox. It suggests that exercise may change how the immune system deals with cancer by boosting adrenaline（肾上腺素）, certain immune cells and other chemicals that, together, can reduce the severity of cancer or fight it off altogether.

To try to better understand how exercise can both elevate inflammation and simultaneously protect the body against cancer, scientists at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and other institutions decided to closely examine what happens inside mice at high risk for the disease.

So, for the new study, they began by gathering a group of adult lab mice. These animals generally like to run.

The scientists then implanted melanoma (黑素瘤) skin cancer cells into the mice before providing half of them with running wheels in their cages while the other animals remained sedentary. After four weeks, far fewer of the runners had developed full-blown melanoma than the sedentary mice and those that had been diagnosed with the disease showed fewer and smaller lesions.

They drew blood from both the exercising and sedentary animals and cells from any tumors in both groups. As expected, they found much higher levels of the hormone adrenaline in the blood of the exercising animals, especially right after they had been working out on the wheels but also at other times of the day. The body releases adrenaline in response to almost any type of stressful experience, including exercise.

They also found higher levels of interleukin-6 in the blood of the runners. This is a substance that is released by working muscles and is believed to both increase and decrease inflammation in the body, depending on where and how it goes to work.

Perhaps most important, they found much higher numbers in the bloodstreams of runners than in the sedentary mice of a type of immune cell named natural killer cells that are known to be strong cancer fighters.

So the scientists repeated their original experiment multiple times, inducing cancer while allowing some mice to run and others to sit. In some of these follow-up experiments, the scientists injected the runners with a substance that blocked the production of adrenaline and gave sedentary animals large doses of added adrenaline.

What they now found was that when running mice could not produce adrenaline, they developed cancer at the same rate as the sedentary animals, while the sedentary animals that had been injected with extra adrenaline fought off their tumors better than other sitting mice.

More remarkably, the scientists determined that adrenaline seemed to be sending biochemical signals to some of the animals’ IL-6 cells, making them physiologically more alert, so that when a tumor began to develop in the affected animal, those IL-6 cells in turn activated the natural killer cells in the bloodstream and actually directed them to the tumors, like minute guide fish.

With these results, “we show that voluntary wheel running in mice can reduce the growth of tumors, and we have identified an exercise-dependent mobilization of natural killer cells as the underlying cause of this protection,” said Pernille Hojman, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen who oversaw the new study. It perhaps provides one more incentive for us to get up and move.

【1】In the first experiment, which one is the most important result the scientists found?

A. Natural killer cells are much more in the bloodstreams of runners than in the sedentary mice.

B. Levels of interleukin-6 are higher in the blood of the runners than in the sedentary mice.

C. Exercise such as running seemed to help the mice fight against the cancer.

D. Adrenaline can reduce the severity of cancer or fight it off.

【2】In the follow-up experiments, the scientists found ________.

A. the hormone adrenaline has much higher levels in the blood of the exercising animals

B. how these elements in the runners — their increased adrenaline, IL-6, and natural killer immune cells fight against tumor

C. interleukin-6 can both increase and decrease inflammation in the body, depending on where and how it goes to work

D. what happens inside mice at high risk for the disease

【3】According to the study, we can infer the fundamental substance to fight the cancer off is ________.

A. adrenaline         B. interleukin-6

C. natural killer cells       D. genes
