21、Some vaccines (疫苗) offer lifelong protection against a disease while other vaccines have to be regularly boosted. What’s the difference?

“The measles virus is basically the same one that was around in 1936,” says Schaffner, professor of infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), calling it a “very stable virus.” Because of this, the measles vaccine offers lifelong protection after the second dose (剂). There is a reliable antibody test for measles, but the vaccine’s effect is so proven and solid that you probably don’t need it, as long as you were fully vaccinated as a child. Other live viruses like mumps and rubella are also remarkably stable, and thus don’t need to be repeated.

The flu virus, however, is very“plastic” , says Schaffner. “They put on a new sport coat once in a while that changes the way we measure protection against them.” That’s why the experts recommend an annual flu shot to protect against the strain (菌株) that’s expected to dominate that season. The various flu strains are related, so even if a different flu virus takes over, you’re still going to enjoy some protection.

The Tdap vaccine is another one that doesn’t last forever, which protects against a number of diseases (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis). A booster is recommended every 10 years, or with every pregnancy. This is because pertussis, also known as whooping cough, has increased sharply in the last couple of decades. Moms and babies are at higher risk of being targeted by this disease. It’s also helpful to get boosted on schedule because if you step on a nail or other sharp metal object, tetanus won’t be nearly as much of a concern if you’re pre - protected. Decades’ worth of research have set this booster schedule.

If you’re concerned about whether or not you ‘re still protected by a particular vaccine, the best course is to talk to your doctor. An antibody test will be recommended, and if you’ re past due they’ll recommend getting up to date.

【1】What do measles and rubella viruses have in common?

A．They don’t change much with time.

B．They interact with each other.

C．They need to be vaccinated repeatedly.

D．They were first discovered in 1936.

A．Adolescents.

B．Young children.

C．Adults.

D．The senior.

【4】What’s probably the function of an antibody test?

22、阅读理解（共4小题）

In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere．Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell．

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65．She was the first in our family to reach that goal．But one year after I started college, she developed cancer．I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her．It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait．

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children．In 1999, we adopted our first son．To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional．A year later came our second adopted boy．Then followed son No．3．In 2003, I gave birth to another boy．

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8！Our home was a complete zoo — a joyous zoo．Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time．But I never gave up on the dream either．I had only one choice: to find a way．That meant taking as few as one class each semester．

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys．They often wanted me to stay home with them．There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives．

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina．It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！

I am not special, just single-minded．It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal．Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day．It’s a process．Remember: little steps add up to big dreams．

23、Around 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific hotline was built in the event of such an emergency.

And while it’s unlikely your wristwatch’s power source will ever be safe to eat, that doesn’t mean all batteries will remain uneatable-in fact, some are being designed with digestion specifically in mind.

A team of researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology recently revealed what isl being called as the world’s first fully rechargeable, eatable battery. As detailed in a paper published with Advanced Materials, the new device has made good use of some eatable materials.

“Eatable electronic devices will have major implications for gastrointestinal tract (胃肠道) monitoring, treatment, as well as rapid food quality monitoring,” reads the paper’s abstract, adding that although recent research proved the feasibility of eatable sensors and circuits, “fully eatable electronic devices and eatable power sources are still required, of which there have been very few examples.”

According to the team’s findings, their proof-of-concept battery was capable of producing 0.65 volts, which is safely low enough for the human body to handle. The ingestible could provide 48 μA of current for 12 minutes, or alternatively, a few microamps (微安) for over an hour. Such a power supply could provide enough energy for small electronics alike to eatable pill-shaped modules and other gastrointestinal procedure alternatives.

In a statement, researcher coordinator Mario Caironi explained that such a product could help power monitors for both human health conditions and food storage. Additionally, given their safety, products with stronger power could be used within children’s toys, where ingestion risk is higher.

In the team’s statement, co-author Ivan Ilic also explained that despite the battery’s relatively low power, its digestibility provides a promising example of a battery that doesn’t use any harmful materials.

【1】What is the necessity of developing eatable batteries?

A．They help with the food shortage.

B．They can avoid the harm caused by eating batteries.

C．They are useful in some special fields.

D．They have no impact on the environment.

【2】Which is the closest in meaning to “feasibility” in Paragraph 4?

A．Availability.

B．Flexibility.

C．Responsibility.

D．Possibility.

【3】What can we infer from the statements in the last paragraph?

A．The application of the battery has a long way to go.

B．The eatable batteries will be widely used in our life.

C．The development of the eatable battery is promising.

D．The eatable batteries will soon be put into production.

【4】In which section of a magazine can we read the text?

A．News Corner.

B．Story Garden.

C．Language World.

D．Technology Square.

24、Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven．His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes．Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties（地方特色菜）in Germany, Spain and France．At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends．Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking．Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit．That helped the show become very popular among the students．They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking．Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network．

25、Optimism and pessimism(消极) are both powerful forces. Each of us must choose which we want to ________ our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or ________. It’s our decision: from which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in ________ or down in desperation?

I believe in the upward look. I choose to ________ the positive and skip right over the negative.

An optimistic attitude is not a luxury(奢侈品); it’s a(n) ________. The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people. ________, negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations ________ themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy (预言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.

Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n) ________ question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You don’t look well,” he replied. This ________ me completely by surprise. A little ________ confidently, I told him that I had ________ felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.

By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little ________. About a block away, I ________ over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I ________ some rare disease?

I wondered how many other folks had ________ the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total ________ change my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single ________ observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.
