When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, i

25、ts hard not to wonder of the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections （感染） we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.Its not just tha

26、t were going to where the animals are; were also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksens pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea, “I dont think its fair to have them as pets when we h

27、ave such a limited knowledge of them.” says Isaksen.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing.” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little

28、about these new diseases. A new bug （病毒） may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesnt look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.56. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may _.A. come fr

29、om ColumbiaB. prevent us from being infectedC. enjoy being with childrenD. suffer from monkey-pox57. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets? A. Because they attack human beings.B. Because we need to study native animals.C. Because they cant live out of the rain forest.D. Because we d

30、o not know much about them yet.58. What does the phrase “the wake-up call” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. A new disease.B. A clear warning.C. A dangerous animal.D. A morning call.BTwo years ago，Wendy Hasnip，47，experienced a brain injury that left her speechless for two weeks. When she finally

31、recovered, she found herself talking with what seemed to be a French accent. “I phoned a friend the other day, and she spent the first ten minutes laughing,” Hasnip said at the time, “while I have nothing against the French.”Hasnip suffered from foreign accent syndrome（外國(guó)口音綜合癥）, a rare condition in

32、which people find themselves speaking their own language like someone from a foreign country. The condition usually occurs in people who have experienced a head injury or a stroke a sudden loss of consciousness，sensation，or movement caused by a blocked or broken blood vessel（血管）in the brain. The con

33、dition was first identified during the Second World War in a Norwegian woman whose head was injured during an attack by the German military. The woman recovered but was left with a German-sounding accent, to the horror of fellow villagers who avoided her after that. Researchers have discovered that

34、the combined effect of the damage to several parts of the brain makes victims lengthen certain syllable，mispronounce sounds，and change the normal pitch（音高）of their voice. Those changes in speech add up to what sounds like a foreign accent. Another researcher，a phonetician（語言學(xué)者），says victims of the s

35、yndrome dont acquire a true foreign accent. Their strangely changed speech only resembles the foreign accent with which it has a few sounds in common. When an English woman named Annie recently developed foreign accent syndrome after a stroke, she spoke with what seemed to be a Scottish accent. Howe

36、ver, Annies Scottish coworkers said she didnt sound at all like a Scot. 59. According to the passage，people _ may have foreign accent syndrome.

38、eech only has a few sounds in common with the foreign accent 61. Writing this passage，the writers main purpose is to _ . A. introduce foreign accent syndrome and some related information B. warn people not to be at the risk of experiencing a stroke C. make it clear that foreign accent syndrome can b

39、e cured D. tell a story of an injured woman during the Second World WarCI woke up one morning last week to read a story about an athlete who had seemed to have everything.US track star Marion Jones owned a trophy （獎(jiǎng)杯） case filled with medals. She had worldwide fame. She held the high honor of being

40、the first female track and field athlete to win five medals at an Olympics the 2000 Sydney Games.But last Friday, the 31-year-old track star tearfully confessed that she had lied to fans, sports official and US federal agents about taking steroids.The five Olympic medals in her trophy case? Gone. Me

41、aningless. The worldwide fame? Exchanged for infamy. The honor of being the first female track and field athlete to win five medals at an Olympics? Forgotten, wiped off the record books.“It is with a great amount of shame that I stand before you and tell you that I have betrayed your trust.” Jones c

42、onfessed.Shed posed for pictures with fans. Shed attended parties and talked about her accomplishments. But for years shed slept - or tried to sleep knowing that much of what she had done was built on a lie.Now, finally, shed decided to tell the truth.“If she had trusted her own natural gifts and al

43、lied them to self-sacrifice and hard work, I sincerely believe that she could have been an honest champion at the Sydney Games.” IAAF President Lamine Diack said over the weekend. “Instead, Mario Jones will be remembered as one of the biggest frauds in sporting history.”Sadly, she wont be the last.

44、There are still others lurking（潛伏） behind their trophies. They too appear to have everything. Theyre superstars, the envy of every young person who has played a sport. But for how long? And at what cost? Every time they look at their trophies and medals they remember that the awards really belong to

45、 someone else.62. The main character in this passage is_.A. the writer himselfB. Marion JonesC. IAAF presidentD. US federal agents63. It is still a worry that _.A.

46、rgive Marion JonesD. cheating is still widely existing in sports competition64. The writer values _ most in this passage.A. Marion Jones deciding to tell the truthB. the honesty and hard work in sports competitionC. trophies, medals and championsD. the spirit of Olympic Games D“A good parent” can be

47、 a confusing phrase. It is almost impossible for one person to be “a good parent” at all stages of a childs life. Some parents are at their best before their children begin to speak. Others are most successful before their children enter elementary school. Still others make their finest contribution

48、 to older children or teenagers. Every parent can understand one stage of a childs development better than another. It is hard for a person to possess superior capacities throughout the entire period of a childs growth.A mother might be “a good parent” from her babys birth until it is three; that is

49、 the period when it needs her protection and loving care. Then the start of her childs independence might upset and alarm her, and she might then become less helpful for a few years. A father might be awkward and uncomfortable with a younger child, but could turn into an excellent parent when the ch

50、ild is old enough to be taught the skills of cycling, fishing and so on, or to be taken on trips. Some parents feel easier with boys, and others with girls and then only at certain ages or stages.It is important for parents to understand and accept their own limitations in these matters, just as the

51、y must accept the childs faults of personality and limitations of talent. Otherwise, fathers and mothers will feel guilty and blame themselves for weaknesses that may not be their faults. Much of the guilt experienced by modern parents comes from the mistaken feeling that they ought to be all things

52、 at all times to the child, which is clearly mistaken. In past ages, grandparents and uncles and aunts lived with the family, and provided different kinds of support; in our present “nuclear” family, too many roles are demanded of the two parents, which they cannot possibly fulfill.65. Confusion ari

53、ses about what it means to be “a good parent” because _.A. it is normal to be a successful parent during most stages of a childs developmentB. most parents are only good at helping older children or teenagersC. parents are usually at their best before their children go to schoolD. parents do not rea

54、lize they cannot perform equally well through a childs growth66. Parents would feel guilty if _.A. their children cant accept their own limitations of talentB. they realize their weaknesses in raising childrenC. their grandfathers and uncles and aunts dont live with themD. they dont know their limit

55、ations in raising children67. Parents of “nuclear” families sometimes feel at a loss because _.A. they believe that such a family prevents the healthy growth of a childs personality and talentB. they dislike the support that other family members give to their childrenC. they do not always have the h

56、elp of other family members in child-raisingD. they no longer regard grandparents, uncles and aunts as good educators of their children EEasy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit - and that can be a very annoying

57、thing. _68_ Read on for some techniques worth trying. 1. _69_ People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimers disease （老年性癡呆癥）, according to a recent study. _70_ Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date wit

58、h a friend will do. Theres evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward. 2. Go for a walk. Mildly raised glucose（葡萄糖）levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memori

59、es and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. _71_ 3. Learn something new. Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation limits the weaken

60、ing effects of aging on memory and the mind.
