Because it spreads from person to person and can be picked up easily,nearly everyone is exposed.While it’s unclear whether the annual flu epidemic(流行病)will worsen this year, or just arrived earlier,fears have been increased by the severity of flu in Australia during its most recent season and the fact that the vaccine may protect against the predominant(盛行的)kind of the flu only30percent of the time.Despite the worries,doctors and public health officials say there is no evidence that people are getting sicker than usual.Flu cases in Massachusetts started rising around Thanksgiving and increased steadily,with an especially steep climb in the last week of the year.“This is a bad flu season but not a horrible one,”said Dr.Andrew G.Villanueva,a lung specialist and chief quality officer at the Lahey Hospital&Medieal Centre in Burlington.The flu season,while clearly in full swing,doesn’t“feel different”from previous years, Villanueva said.“We’re not seeing a lot of people being hospitalized because of flu,”he said,“Most people with the flu recover on their own without medical care.”4.What’s the function of the first paragraph?A.A lead-in.B.A comment.C.A summary.D.A background.5.What can be learned about the flu this year according to the text?A.The outbreak of the flu is terrible.B.The flu has arrived earlier than before.C.The vaccine against the flu is highly effective.D.Everyone feels horrible at the mention of the flu.6.What does the underlined part in Paragraph4mean?A.CrowdedB.ChangeableC.PermanentD.Active7.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To explain what flu is.B.To rid people of flu panic.C.To warn readers of how serious the flu is.D.To inform readers how to prevent the flu.CChinese people’s appetites have been guided by pragmatism(实用主义),rather than food taboos(禁忌).As Taiwanese academic Kung Peng-cheng puts it after exploring the eating habits and cultural restraints of Chinese people,“they eat almost anything.”Besides the reputation of the Cantonese for eating wild animals and the controversy over the Yulin dog meat festival in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in recent years,the pangolin(穿山甲),a strong-looking creature,has been revealed as a dish served in some restaurants,despite the fact that pangolin is on China’s list of endangered wild animals.Earlier this month,a set of pictures taken in2015of what appears to be a lavish Chinese banquet were again circulated online.Some images show a cooked pangolin, served to a Chinese official from Guangxi.It aroused a public outcry,which prompted authorities to launch an investigation.A few days later,the online posts of a woman,which date back to2011and2012and display images of various cooked wildlife including pangolin,snake and swan,were dug up by netizens.The posts were widely shared and the woman was branded the“Pangolin Princess”.After the exposure,the“princess”was detained by police in her hometown of Shenzhen.The Chinese people’s enthusiasm for eating wild animals like pangolin is rooted in the belief that they have unique healing properties.But the belief that virtually all rare animals are endowed with(具有)powerful medicinal effects may be too unrealistic.So far,the meat of this nocturnal(夜行活动的)creature is considered a delicacy that can only be found on the tables of officials and wealthy people who have access to a luxurious and flippant(轻率的)lifestyle.To some extent,eating protected animals has become an indication of social status,given the rapid growth in China and the rise in demands of the country’s middle-class.China banned the trade of pangolins more than10years ago to protect the rare species from extinction.But with no awareness of the law,some Chinese take pride in eating pangolins.We must act now to ban the trade in pangolins before it is too late.8.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph1refer to?A.Chinese people’s appetites.B.Pragmatism.C.Food taboos.D.“They eat almost anything.”9.Which one is not the example to testify to the words of Kung Peng-cheng?A.The reputation of the Cantonese for eating wild animals.B.The Yulin dog meat festival in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous RegionC.China’s list of endangered wild animals including Pangolin.D.Some images of“Pangolin Princess”with various cooked wildlife.10.What is the root cause for Chinese people’s enthusiasm for eating pangolin?A.The meat of this nocturnal creature is considered a delicacy.B.Rare animals are believed to have powerful medicinal effects.C.Eating protected animals has become an indication of social status.D.The rapid growth in China and the rise in demands of middle-class.11.Which view does the author hold to protect the rare species from extinction?A.China is responsible to set policy soon to ban the trade of pangolins.B.People’s appetites should be guided by not only pragmatism but food taboos.C.Officials and wealthy people are wrong to live a luxurious and flippant lifestyle.D.Everyone needs to act now to fight against the trade in wildlife.DKincaid looked at his watch:eight-seventeen.The truck started on the second try,and he backed out,shifted gears,and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun.Through the streets of Bellingham he went,heading south on Washington11,running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles,then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route20.Turning into the sun,he began the long,winding drive through the Cascades.He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called“memory snapshots.”The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously.In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane,picking up U.S.Route2,which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog,a golden retriever, maybe,for travels like this and to keep him company at home.But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal.Still,he thought about it anyway.In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork.“I must get a dog then.”He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood.The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be an only child,parents both dead,distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them,no close friends.He thought about Marian.She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty-two now,that would make her just under forty.Marian had dreams of becoming a musician,a folksinger.She knew all of the Weavers’songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle.When he was home in the old days,he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.His long absences—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage. He knew that.She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married,and both of them had a vague sense that it could all be handled somehow.It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and she was gone.The note read,“Robert,it didn’t work out.I left you the Harmony guitar.Stay in touch.”He didn’t stay in touch.Neither did she.He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day.She had asked for nothing except her freedom.12.Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?A.Bellingham—Washington11—Puget Sound—U.S Route20—U.S Route2—DuluthB.U.S.Route2—Bellingham—Washington11—Puget Sound—U.S Route20—DuluthC.U.S.Route2—U.S Route20—Duluth–Bellingham—Washington11D.Bellingham—Washington11—U.S.Route2—U.S Route20—Duluth13.Which statement is true according to the passage?A.Kincaid’s parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.B.Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn’t been away from home too much.C.Kincaid stopped to take photos while driving for no purpose.D.Kincaid used to have a wife and they kept a nine-year marriage.14.What can you know about Marian?A.She died after she got divorced.B.She was older than Kincaid.C.She could sing very well and earned big money.D.She was not a professional pop singer.15.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A.Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.B.Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian.C.It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid’s absence and left him.D.After Marian left him,they still kept in touch with each other.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
