21.(6分)A bite from a tsetse fly is an extremely unpleasant experience. To make matters worse, several species of tsetse fly can transmit diseases. One of the most dangerous is a parasite(寄生虫) that causes "sleeping sickness".After the initial bite, sleeping sickness symptoms often start with a fever, headaches and aching muscles. As the illness goes on, those infected become increasingly tired, which is where it gets its name.It is worth noting that sleeping sickness is no longer as deadly as it once was. In the early 20th Century several hundred thousand people were infected each year. By the 1960s the disease was considered "undercontrol" and had reached very low numbers, making its spread more difficult. But in the 1970s there was another major infection, which took 20 years to control. Since then, better screening programs and earlier treatments have reduced the number of cases dramatically. In 2000 this figure dropped to fewer than 3,000. The World Health Organization (WHO) hopes the disease will be completely removed by 2020. More problematically, a series of new studies have shown that the parasite is more complicated than previously believed.Sleeping sickness has always been considered—and analyzed—as a blood disease, because the parasites can readily be discovered in the blood of its victims. However, in a recent study found that the parasite can stay in the skin and fat, as well as in the blood. There may even be a higher density(密度)of the parasite in the skin than in the blood. That means a person can have no symptoms but still both harbor the disease and spread it. The finding could explain the mysterious 1970s infection, and why the disease can spring up in areas that had previously been cleared.1、What's the danger of a tsetse fly bite?A.It makes people sleepy. B.It causes skin disease.C.It brings about deaths. D.It transmits deadly parasites.2、What can we infer about sleeping sickness from Paragraph 3?A.It's still a threat to human health.B.It's not that dangerous at present.C.It's incurable in the early 20th century.D.It's completely under control in the 1960s.3、What does the underlined "harbor" most probably mean?A.carry B.resist C.exchange D.hide4、What does the latest research indicate according to the passage?A.Sleeping sickness is a blood disease.B.Skin is more suitable for the parasite to grow.C.Sleeping sickness can be spread with no signs.D.Parasites in the skin caused the 1970s infection.22.(8分)Michelin inspectors,the super secret spies of the restaurant industry,are the anonymous (匿名的)keepers of the famous Michelin star rating. They've been writing anonymous reports of restaurants for over 100 years."We say it's a little like the CIA,"said inspector "M" with a laugh. She asked that her identity not be revealed. "My whole life is staying under the radar,staying away from cameras,using fake names,trying to steal in and out of restaurants quietly."Along with their boss,Jean-Luc Naret,the director of the Michelin Guide,about 90 inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the cooking equivalent(等价物)of an Oscar,the Nobel Prize and Mega Millions jackpot(头奖)all at once. The Michelin Guide covers 23 countries,and out of the45,000 rated restaurants,less than 100 have the top rating — only nine American restaurants carry three stars.If the name "Michelin" brings the tires on your car to mind,you're not too far off. The Michelin rating began in France in 1900 as a marketing trick. The Michelin brothers thought their customers would buy more tires if given a list of hotels and restaurants to explore.Inspector "M" admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life. " Most of the time we dine alone,"she said. "It gives us the ability to really focus on the food and the atmosphere and capture the entire experience. "To cover their tracks,"M" said sometimes two inspectors will dine together and write two separate papers. It's better than saying "table for one",right?"When you're really,really into food and very crazy about food,everything else that's going on around you isn't so important," she said.1、The underlined words "under the radar" in Paragraph 2 mean "___________"A.living in dangerB.being the focus of the mediaC.trying to be unnoticedD.making programs on the radio2、The Michelin rating was first carried out in order to _____________.A.open more hotels and restaurantsB.bring more convenience to driversC.make people familiar with "Michelin"D.make a profit by selling more tires3、Sometimes two inspectors dine together so that they can ___________.A.cut the expense on the foodB.protect their identitiesC.save trouble by sharing a paperD.talk about the food over the meal4、What would be the best title for the text?A."M" works for the CIAB.The legend of Michelin brothersC.Michelin inspectors: food industry spiesD.Michelin — a giant in tire and restaurant industry23.(8分)If Confucius(孔子) were alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But that doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confu cius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past twenty years, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of(利用) ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks(缺陷) Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.1、The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.A.provide some key facts about ConfuciusB.attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC.show great respect for the ancient thinkerD.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations2、We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.A.take an active part in Chinese competitionsB.try to get high scores in Chinese examsC.have a great interest in studying ChineseD.fight for a chance to learn Chinese3、What is the best title for this passage?A.Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB.Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC.Chinese Culture for WesternersD.Old Thinker with a Big Future4、The passage is likely to appear in ________.A.a biography B.a history paperC.a philosophy textbook D.a newspaper24.(8分)Most of us spend a lot of time trying to figure out what makes us. We search the Internet for personality quizzes. We think endlessly over the things we’ve said or done. We pick teams-shy or outgoing—and then make our decisions through the l abel we’ve chosen. Other people, though-that can be a little more of a puzzle. It’s not likely that you can get much insight (深入了解) from taking a personality quiz on someone else’s behalf. But new research suggests that all that self-reflection you’ve been doing may be helpful here—a team of psychologists found a close link between greater self-awareness and social intelligence. The team leader Bockler said, “To get inside other people’s heads, then it may be best to start with your own.”Over the course of three months, Bockler and her colleagues collected data from 161 people between the ages of 20 and 50 as they experienced a “thoughtful training” designed to help them focus on their inner lives. The participants who improved most over course of the training were also the ones who showed the most growth in how easily they could infer another person, s mental state, a skill known as the theory of mind.Bockler believes these results are especially important given our current state of affairs. “Many of the global challenges that we face today—taking in refugees (难民), overcoming between-group conflicts, or leading more sustainable (可持续的) lives—require that we put ourselves in the shoes of others,” she said.Still, we tend to seek inner consideration as a goal in itself, while underestimating (低估) the ways it can also help us connect more closely to others. Self-awareness isn’t limited to just us—it spreads out into our relationships, too. Taking all those personality quizzes when you’re bored on your computer m ay not be the most helpful in that regard (就这一点而言), but by trying to become more aware of your own thoughts, you can begin to shape yourself into someone more sympathetic (富有同情心的), more smart and better at understanding the world outside your head.1、What is implied in the first paragraph?A.A personality quiz turns out a puzzle.B.People prefer to do personality quizzes.C.There are few strategies to understand others.D.Self-awareness has nothing to do with social intelligence.2、What is the theory of mind according to the text?A.A pattern of personal behaviors.B.A sign of inner personalities.C.A standard for the mental state.D.A skill to understand others.3、What Bockler said proved that the results are ’.A.practical to deal with modem social problemsB.the solutions to the current global challengesC.a basis for a world without any conflictsD.the requirements for the sustainable lives of refugees4、It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the appreciation of others ’.A.isn’t a limit to sel f-awareness at allB.goes hand in hand with self-understandingC.is our way of being connected with othersD.makes us care more about our own thoughts25.(10分)You might have heard a lot about ancient towns and ancient cities in China.
