解析

试题分析:本文使用了拟人的手法,从第一人称“我”的角度讲述了人体感冒的起因以及发病过程等。从文中讲述的事例可以看出,人体感冒大多数情况下是由于自身不正确的做法所造成的,所以为了健康我们必须养成好的生活习惯。
小题1:考查副词辨析。A 因此;B此外;C 然而;D然后。上句讲人因“我”而病,下句说人们却不怪“我”,很显然此处是转折关系,故C选项正确。人们经常因为我而生病,但是很少责怪我。
小题2:考查名词辨析。A 生意;B 责任;C借口;D过错。由于人们生活中错误的做法导致生病感冒,是他们自身的过错、过失,所以此处填fault,正确选项为D。那很大程度上是他们自己的过错。
小题3:考查动词辨析。A惩罚;B责备;C 逮住;染疾D ***死。从上下文可知此处指人们得病,所以是受到疾病的侵袭,C选项正确。
小题4:考查名词辨析。A 温度;B 季节;C 地方;D 状况,条件。从下文叙述In hot summer, people turn on the air-conditioner upon returning home.可知此处指的是温度的变化。选A。
小题5:考查形容词辨析。A 激动的,兴奋的;B 受伤的;C 迟到的;D 疲惫的。上句讲he played football hard for two hours,由情理可知卖力气得踢2个小时的足球肯定是感到累,所以D选项正确。
小题6:考查动词辨析。A使。。。受伤;B 麻烦;C 攻击;袭击D 毁灭。从上下文可知此处指病毒趁机侵袭人体,所以C选项正确。
小题7:考查短语辨析。A 与。。。相处;B 除掉;C 忍受;D 抓住。根据常识可知,人们患病后人体会自动产生抗体来抵制病毒,所以正确选项为B。
小题8:考查动词辨析。A 繁殖;B 等待;C 隐藏;D 消失。下文讲孩子的病症加重了,由此可知是病毒迅速繁殖导致的,故A选项正确。
小题9:考查连词辨析。A 既然,自从;B 一旦;C 是否,无论;D 尽管。从下文it didn’t work,判断此处应该是表示前后转折的连词,所以D为正确选项。句意:尽管他穿上暖和的衣服也不起作用了,因为体内病毒太多了。
小题10:考查动词辨析。A 提醒;B 困扰;使人心烦意乱;C 安慰;D 影响。根据常识可知人体感冒后嗓子疼是让人烦,使人不舒服的事情,所以B选项正确。
小题11:考查动词辨析。A 逃避,逃脱;B 成功;C 后悔;D 失败。下文叙述孩子的病情加重了,没了食欲,由此可知咳嗽等人体的正常反应没起作用。所以D选项正确。
小题12:考查名词辨析。A 床;B 工作;C 学校;D 医院。从上文After school,判断应该是病厉害了不能上学。C为正确选项。
小题13:考查形容词辨析。A 和平的;B 害怕的;C 积极的;D 高兴地。从常识可知人感冒后不愿活动,而且上文讲孩子没感冒前踢足球,所以此处选C选项。意思是孩子失去食欲,不如以前活跃了。
小题14:考查名词辨析。A 恢复;B 发展;C 学习;D 影响。Vc是增强人体免疫力的,从常识可知服用Vc是为了人体病后尽快康复,所以A选项正确。
小题15:考查动词辨析。A 保护;B 护理;C 责备;D 影响。从情理可知孩子生病后母亲应该是精心护理,所以B选项正确,母亲两天来精心照料他。
小题16:考查名词辨析。A 损失;B 手术;C 压力;D 运动。上句讲人体的免疫力增强了,对病毒的抵抗力也增强了,所以病毒感到的是生存的压力,所以C选项正确。
小题17:考查动词辨析。A 离开;B捉住;C 忘记;D 打,击。从常识可知人体免疫力增强后,病就慢慢好了,所以病毒也就消失了。故此处用leave ,答案选A。
小题18:考查副词辨析。A不确定地;B 不公平地;C 不寻常地;D不幸地。从上下文语境可知“我”这个病毒战败了,对病毒来说是不幸的,所以填D,
小题19:考查形容词辨析。A痛苦的;B 疲惫的;C 紧张的;D 感到羞愧的。从语境it was my turn 判断以前感冒时候孩子感到难受,现在是轮到“我”痛苦了,故A选项正确。
小题20:考查形容词辨析。A更大;B 更弱;C 更小;D 更强壮。从上文可知人体免疫力发起全面进攻,抵制病毒,所以此处是病毒力量减弱,故B为正确选项。

举一反三
Yawning sends out certain messages---either “Oh, this movie is boring”or I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is so overheated?
A new study, led by a research team of Princeton University, has indicated that yawning could be the brain’s natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily.com.
The research team did an experiment on 160 people , 80 in summer and 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.
When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched, which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brain.
The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawn. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.
However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.
According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.
小题1:The purpose of the experiment is ________.
A.to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equally.
B.to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturally
C.to find the frequency of people’s yawning
D.to show the real reason why people yawn
小题2:The information we get from Paragraph 5 and 6 is that_______
A.longer outdoor summertime results in more yawns.
B.yawning frequency changes with outdoor time
C.yawning frequency increases with outdoor time
D.longer outdoor wintertime leads to fewer yawns
小题3:According to the text, people yawn more often________.
A.when the air temperature is lower outside the body
B.when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotter
C.when the air temperature is higher than the body
D.when the air temperature is equal to the body.
小题4:What could be the best title for the text?
A.Yawning is a Sign of Brain Disease
B.Yawning Carries Some Information
C.Yawning Benefits Your Body
D.Yawning Cools Your Brain

Work-life balance: Ways to restore harmony and reduce stress
Finding work-life balance in today’s frenetically paced world is no simple task.
Spend more time at work than at home, and you miss out on a rewarding personal life. Then again, when you face challenges in your personal life, such as caring for an aging parent or coping with marital problems, concentrating on your job can be difficult.
Whether the problem is too much focus on work or too little, when your work life and your personal life feel out of balance, stress — along with its harmful effects — is the result.
The good news is that you can take control of your work-life balance — and give yourself the time to do the things that are most important to you. The first step is to recognize how the world of work has changed. Then you can evaluate your relationship to work and apply some specific strategies for striking a healthier balance.
How work invades your personal life
There was a time when employees showed up for work Monday through Friday and worked eight- to nine-hour days. The boundaries between work and home were fairly clear then. But the world has changed and, unfortunately, the boundaries have blurred for many workers. Here’s why:
●Global economy. As more skilled workers enter the global labor market and companies outsource or move more jobs to reduce labor costs, people feel pressured to work longer and produce more just to protect their jobs.
●International business. Work continues around the world 24 hours a day for some people. If you work in an international organization, you might be on call around the clock for troubleshooting or consulting.
●Advanced communication technology. Many people now have the ability to work anywhere — from their home, from their car and even on vacation. And some managers expect this.
●Longer hours. Employers commonly ask employees to work longer hours than they’re scheduled. Often, overtime is mandatory. If you hope to move up the career ladder, you may find yourself regularly working more than 40 hours a week to achieve and exceed expectations.
●Changes in family roles. Today’s married worker is typically part of a dual-career couple, which makes it difficult to find time to meet commitments to family, friends and community.
Married to your work
It can be tempting to rack up the hours at work — especially if you’re trying to earn a promotion or some extra money for a child’s education or a dream vacation. For others, working more hours feels necessary in order to manage the workload.
But if you’re spending most of your time at work, your home life will likely pay the price. Consider the pros and cons of working extra hours on your work-life balance:
●Fatigue. Your ability to think and your eye-hand coordination decrease when you’re tired. This means you’re less productive and may make more mistakes. These mistakes can lead to injury or rework and negatively impact your professional reputation.
●Family. You may miss out on important events, such as your child’s first bike ride, your father’s 60th birthday or your high-school reunion. Missing out on important milestones may harm relationships with your loved ones.
●Friends. Trusted friends are a key part of your support system. But if you’re spending time at the office instead of with them, you’ll find it difficult to nurture those friendships.
●Expectations. If you regularly work extra hours, you may be given more responsibility. This could create a never-ending and increasing cycle, causing more concerns and challenges.
Sometimes working overtime is important. If you work for a company that requires mandatory overtime, you won’t be able to avoid it, but you can learn to manage it. Most importantly, say no when you’re too tired, when it’s affecting your health or when you have crucial family obligations.
Striking the best work-life balance
For most people, juggling the demands of career and personal life is an ongoing challenge. With so many demands on your time — from overtime to family obligations — it can feel difficult to strike this balance. The goal is to make time for the activities that are the most important to you.
Here are some ideas to help you find the balance that’s best for you:
●Learn to say no. Whether it’s a co-worker asking you to spearhead an extra project or your child’s teacher asking you to manage the class play, remember that it’s OK to respectfully say no. When you quit doing the things you only do out of guilt or a false sense of obligation, you’ll make more room in your life for the activities that are meaningful to you and bring you joy.
●Leave work at work. Make a conscious decision to separate work time from personal time. When with your family, for instance, turn off your cell phone and put away your laptop computer.
●Manage your time. Organize household tasks efficiently. Do one or two loads of laundry every day, rather than saving it all for your day off. A weekly family calendar of important dates and a daily list of to-dos will help you avoid deadline panic. If your employer offers a course in time management, sign up for it.
●Get enough sleep. There’s nothing as stressful and potentially dangerous as working when you’re sleep-deprived. Not only is your productivity affected, but also you can make costly mistakes. You may then have to work even more hours to make up for these mistakes.
●Communicate clearly. Limit time-consuming misunderstandings by communicating clearly and listening carefully. Take notes if necessary.
●Nurture yourself. Set aside time each day for an activity that you enjoy, such as walking, working out or listening to music.
●Set aside one night each week for recreation. Take the phone off the hook, power down the computer and turn off the TV. Discover activities you can do with your partner, family or friends, such as playing golf, fishing or canoeing. Making time for activities you enjoy will rejuvenate you.
Remember, striking a work-life balance isn’t a one-shot deal. Creating balance in your life is a continuous process. Balance doesn’t mean doing everything. Examine your priorities and set boundaries. Be firm in what you can and cannot do. Only you can restore harmony to your lifestyle.

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a judge and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more important, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
小题1:What is true about children when they play games?
A.They can stop playing any time they like.
B.They can test their personal abilities.
C.They want to pick a better team.
D.They don’t need rules.
小题2:To become a leader in a game the child has to ______.
A.play wellB.be popular among his playmates
C.be confident in himselfD.wait for his turn
小题3:What do we know about grown-ups?
A.They are not interested in games.
B.They find children’s games too easy.
C.They don’t need a reason to play games.
D.They don’t understand children’s games.
小题4:The writer believes that _______.
A.children should make better rules for their games
B.children should invite grow-ups to play with them
C.children’s games can do them a lot of good
D.children play games without reasons

People have been listening to music to get in the mood for hundreds of years. Recently, there is scientific research to back up what we have always known about music. The studies have shown that when people are excited or happy they are more helpful. The opposite happens when people feel aggressive(好斗的) or under stress. The use of music can influence how helpful people can be.
Dr Adrian North made a study with 256 university students. Half the group took exercise in the gymnasium listening to music which can bring happiness and the other half exercised to aggressive music. When leaving the gym, the students were asked to hand out flyers (传单) in support of the local disabled athlete’s foundation.
The results showed that nearly half of the group that listened to happy music were willing to hand out flyers. But in the group that heard the aggressive music, less than 20% were willing. This study suggests that our choice of music can influence our willingness to cooperate(合作).
While a study also shows that productivity (生产效率) can increase with the right choice of background music in the workplace. As music stimulates (刺激) workers’ minds, job satisfaction is often positively influenced. Other studies have shown that workers who are in a good mood report more job satisfaction than those in a bad mood.
These studies show that music can have a powerful influence on a person’s ability to cooperate. Moods have a direct influence on cooperation and job satisfaction, etc. These factors also have a direct relationship to the success of a business.
小题1:The underlined words “back up” in the paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A.supportB.leaveC.refuseD.compare
小题2:In the studies mentioned in the passage, music is used to _____.
A.express people’s ideasB.change people’s moods
C.improve people’s healthD.show people’s love of arts
小题3:According to the passage, people who are in a good mood _____.
A.can understand the musicB.have a good taste in music
C.might do well in their workD.are influenced by others
小题4:The passage is mainly about _______.
A.effort and successB.music and science
C.work and lifeD.music and mood

You can mail a letter or package under 16 oz. (unit of weight, 454g) in a mailbox, a blue box found on many street corners in U.S. cities and towns. Each mail box should have pick-up times clearly posted on top.
!Packages over 16 oz. placed in a mailbox will not be sent. Bring the package to the post office or retail (零售的) mailing shop instead. The clerk will process if for you.
The Post Office
In the larger cities, when you go to the post office you must take a number and wait in line. Post offices tend to be extremely crowded around Christmas. Try to go as early in the morning as possible. Post office branches open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. while main branches close at 6 p.m.
Buying Stamps
! The cost of a first-class postage stamp to mail a letter is currently 39 cents, although rates tend to change often.
