Recently, a virus called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea, killing 62 people so far. It leads to high fever, bleeding and so on. 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, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 out- break, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats, which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection mighthave touched the bodily fluids 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 effects 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 city of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus. It is feared that the diseases may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.Unfortunately, there are no disease - specific treatments for Ebola. Health - care workers only supply the infected people with physiological saline（生理盐水）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 infected. The fact that there is nocure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.29. From the text we know that ________.A. Ebola is naturally found in fruit.B. Ebola is a highly infectious virus.C. Ebola is a newly discovered disease.D. Ebola is recently controlled in Guinea.30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The causes of Ebola.B.

In Ebola infected areas, healthcare workers ___________.A. face the danger of catching virusB. take measures to protect the nursesC. give water and medicine to the patientsD. do whatever they can to save the infected32. The text probably comes from __________.A. an English newspaperB. a tourist guideC. a safety brochureD. a medical reportDWhat’s life like on a deserted island? Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona decided to find out.The adventurous senator took a vacation from capitol Hill and went on a four-day Robinson Crusoe style holiday with his two teenager sons to a remote, deserted island in the North Pacific Ocean.The senator and his sons, 15-year-old Tanner and 13-year-old Dallin, traveled 5,200 miles from Phoenix, Arizona to the island of Biggarenn. They didn’t carry any food or water. The island is part of the Marshall Islands. It offered no basic facilities, so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water.

The Flakes brought along a lobster(龙虾) trap in hopes of having some delicious treats, but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark. They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water. It took them hours each night pumping for just a few gallons of fresh water.One of the most memorable moments of the trip, the father said, was when he and his 15-year-old son were chased by sharks after spearing(叉) a fish in the ocean.Still, it was quite an enjoyable holiday for the senator. “For a dad it was a wonderful th ing.
