Early in last century, a group of physicians were trying to discover the cause of the disease called yellow fever. At that time it was one of the worst diseases known. Thousands of people were dying of yellow fever every year. It had been suggested that the disease was caused by the bite of a certain mosquito. That is, it was thought that a certain kind of mosquito would bite a person who was ill with yellow fever and then, flying elsewhere, bite another person and give him the disease. To prove whether or not this was true, one of the physicians, Dr James Carroll allowed such mosquito to bite himself after it had bitten a patient with yellow fever. He knew that the bite of this mosquito might cause his death. Dr James became ill, but recovered from the disease in the end. The risk this hero took, however, helped to save the lives of millions of people. 41. According to the passage, _. A. yellow fever is still a disease difficult to get rid of to this day B. a lot of people have died of yellow fever every year now C. yellow fever is no longer a disease which leads to death now D. people no longer suffer from yellow fever now42. From the passage, we can know _. A. a certain kind of mosquito can carry yellow fever to people B. all kinds of mosquitoes can carry yellow fever to people C. a mosquito can carry all kinds of diseases to people D. a mosquito can kill thousands of people 43. After the experiment, _. A. Dr James died because of the bite from the mosquito B. Dr James escaped the death C. Dr James suffered a lot and later died D.

Dr James was the first person to discover yellow fever 45. The best title for this passage is _. A. A Famous Doctor B. An Unexpected death C. A Brave Doctor D. A Successful Scientific Experiment B The British usually expect one or two snowfalls each year but the amount of snow rarely affects everyday life. However, this week Britain has had the worst snow it has seen in around 18 years. Some places had more than 30cm in a day. The bad weather caused severe disruption. More than 3000 schools had to close as teachers and pupils were unable to get to school. School children werent too unhappy about it though as they headed out to play the snow, building snowmen, having snowball fights, sledging and some even snowboarding and skiing. In London, bus services were withdrawn for a day and tubes and trains were cancelled. Major motorways in the country had to close. Many people were unable to get to work and it is thought the cost of this lost labor is around &1 billion (10 billion yuan) to businesses and the economy. Anyone who wanted to leave the country had problems too. Runways were closed at all the UKs major airports because of the amount of snow. Hundreds of flights were cancelled leaving some passengers stranded at airports. So why is the UK so ill-prepared for snow? The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, explained that there arent enough snow ploughs（铲雪机）and gritters（撒沙机）and it doesnt make sense to buy such equipment when it snows so infrequently. The south-east of England was the hardest hit at the beginning of the week but the snow is now moving northwards where the chaos continues. More ice and snow is forecast throughout the week and the advice from travel and weather organizations is to stay indoors unless you really need to venture out!46.

Heavy Snow Causes Disruption Only in Motorways C We dont know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it. At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet-even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people wont be as important as they are today-we will feel a little lonely. Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us. Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly. We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn't true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition. Although we cant predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our childrens future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen. 51. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?A. Because the number of people will become much smaller. B. Because there will be less face-to-face communication. C. Because people wont like making friends with each other. D. Because people wont communicate with each other much often. 52. The third paragraph mainly tells us _. A. that computers will do all the things for human beings. B. how people will use computers to communicate with each other. C. that machines like computers and robots will help people a lotD. how people will use robots to do the housework53. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?A. The relationship between people will be more important than today. B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.C. It wont be difficult for people to travel to other planets. D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars. 54. The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means _. A. disappointed B. surprised C. curious D. optimistic 55. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How people will communicate in the year 2050 B. What our life will be like in the year 2050C. How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050D. What high technology will appear in the year 2050D. First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victims condition from turning worse and provide relief from pain. First aid must be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life. First-aid measures depend upon a victims needs and the providers level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal injury and paralysis. Despite the variety of injuries possible, several principles of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, asses the scene, asking other people or the injured persons family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes（糖尿病）or heart trouble. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim. First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victims condition is known by the acronym（首字母缩写词）ABC, which stands for: A-Airway: is it open and clear? B-Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing. C-Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding externally? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems. 56. First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT _. A. helping a person avoid sudden illness or injuryB. preventin
