Tiredness, coughing, a runny nose and a sore throat—among all sicknesses there is probably none more common than the flu (流感), which we all get now and then. However, bird flu is a completely different story.

In 2003, the H5N1 bird flu swept across 15 countries, including China, with sufferers reporting chest pain, difficulty breathing, fever and severe coughing. More than 600 people were infected, and about 60 percent died. Now, another type of bird flu hit Shanghai and three neighboring provinces, and this time the virus is called H7N9. By the afternoon of April 11, the new virus had taken nine lives out of 35 infected, according to Xinhua News Agency.

The “H” and “N” in the virus’ name refer to two kinds of proteins (蛋白质) on the surface of the virus. Any change of the numbers of the two proteins indicates a new mutation(变异). Most of the mutations only affect birds, such as chickens and pigeons, and don’t normally spread to humans. But once they do, the results can be disastrous.

“Any time an animal influenza virus crosses to humans, it is a cause for concern, ” Malik Peiris, virologist (病毒学家) at the University of Hong Kong, told Nature magazine. Take the SARS epidemic (传染病) in 2003 as an example. The virus behind the disease is thought to have jumped to humans from animals. The virus was a complete “stranger” to human bodies, which hadn’t developed an immunity (免疫力) against it.

But there is something more about the new H7N9 bird flu. Unlike the H5N1 bird flu, which causes severe sickness in birds, the H7N9 has been evolving under the radar(悄悄地) since it travels between birds without causing noticeable illness. That makes it difficult to keep track of the disease.

The good news is that there’s so far no sign that the virus is spreading from person to person. But since there is no vaccine (疫苗) for the disease yet, the World Health Organization recommends that you wash your hands after meeting with sick people and before and after you eat or prepare

food, and they also suggest avoiding contact with birds or their eggs.

4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A．The H5N1 bird flu turned out to have something to do with the SARS epidemic.

B．More than 600 people across the world died from the H5N1 bird flu in 2003.

C．Most of the mutations of the proteins in the bird flu virus are harmful to both birds and humans. D．The name, H7N9 bird flu, shows that there have been new mutations of the proteins in the virus. 5．With the example of the SARS epidemic in Paragraph 5, the author intends to . A．introduce where the SARS virus came from

B．inform us of the harmful effects of the SARS epidemic ten years ago

C．show the horrible effects an animal influenza virus can have once it spreads to humans D．compare the differences between the SARS epidemic and the H7N9 bird flu

6．What makes the H7N9 bird flu more frightening than the H5N1 bird flu according to the text? A．It can cause severe sickness in birds.

B．It can spread from person to person.

C．It affects a greater number of birds.

D．It doesn’t sicken birds and thus can spread unnoticed.

7．What are people advised to do to protect themselves against the H7N9 bird flu?

a. To get vaccinated for the disease.

b. To keep away from birds and their eggs.

c. To stop eating chickens and ducks.

d. To avoid meeting with sick peopl

e.

e. To wash hands thoroughly and regularly.

A．a, b B．c, d C．b, e D．a, e

When considering housing options at the University of Waterloo in Canada, Nigerian undergraduate student Ayooluwa Solaja chose a Living Learning Community, a residential house focused on a theme or academic interest area. Solaja lived on campus with 10 to 1s other students in the Arts and Business LLC．

Three reasons may account for the prospective international stadents willingness

to consider LLCS.

1. Connect with like-minded students: Prospective international students can choose an LLC to fully experience college life in a new country and find immediate support among residents: Unlike

other housing arrangements, LLCS can provide a built-in community of like-minded individuals Solaja says a highlight of her experience in the LLC was"forming relationships with upper-year students in my program. This peer leader provided her with everything from academic support to guidance on how to survive Canadian winters. Many LLCS have upper-division students who serve as peer leaders.

Australian Natasha Fitzpatrick says she's happy to share her love for travel and cultural exploration. "A group of us hired a car and traveled down to North Carolina sightseeing.”

2. Participate in community activities: For those worried about being on the outside as a new international student, LLCS encourage participation through various on-and off-campus activities. For example, students in a fashion LLC have attended Toronto Fashion week

Through LLCS, international students will have more opportunities to interact with domestic students, faculty and staff members outside classrooms,"says Shijuan Laurel Liu, assistant professor of Chinese and a partner with the Global Awareness LLC．In a Chinese New Year celebration associated with the LLC, for instance, students from her language and culture courses worked with Chinese students to introduce Chinese culture to the community

Solaja says coming from a different education system in Nigeria with sometimes unapproachable professors, she enjoyed LLC on-campus events like when she played board games with Waterloo professors and academic advisers.

3. Network for job opportunities: International students who plan to gain work experience in the country they study in can benefit from LLCS that are associated with campus departments and staff. This can provide them with chances to network and inquire about work opportunities.

Liu says when Chinese tutoring positions and graduate assistantships became available, she thought of international students from the Global Awareness LLC who previously helped her organize events. She also wrote reference letters for those students when they applied to graduate school.

Robert C．Demezzo, director of residence life at Southern Connecticut State University, says LLCS "help many intermational students secure employment on campus.

Solaja says her year living in Waterloo's Arts and Business LLC was one of her best decisions." You get what you put into the program," she says.

8．What impressed Solaja most in the LLC?

A．A group of students in the LLC rented a car to travel together

B．She got a reference letter when she applied to graduate school.

C．The peer leaders shared their experience both in study and daily life

D．They celebrate the Chinese New Year together with an assistant professor

9．Who are more likely to get Job opportunities?

A．Students who have participated in more on-campus events.

B．Students with better language skills especially in Chinese.

C．Students who have global awareness and interest in network.

D．Students with more working experience through LLCs.

10．Which of the following statements is FALSE?

A．Various activities help international students get oriented to the new life

B．Individuals with similar minds will have the same career prospect.

C．Each LLC focuses on a particular theme or academic interest area,

D．LLCS Provide opportunities of communicating with domestic students

11．Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage?

A．The teachers in Nigeria seldom participate in off-campus activities

B．Many overseas students are not accustomed to the winter in Canada

C．The campus staff offer international students some academic support.

D．LLCS help many international students find jobs after graduation

Since the Second World War, there has been an obvious trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, ''go steady'' through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying heads over the ways of rebellious youth. However, emotional maturity does not grow with age; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.

Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. However, any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves one's

problems; more often, it merely worsens them. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it; one might say that they are abandoning one idol only to worship another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the ultimate good, but they themselves are wrong in believing that they have found the true center of life's meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially unrealistic and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment (幻想破灭) is often bound to follow.

Shall we, then, join the chorus of those against early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by how old one is, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically practicable, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.

12．From Para. 1 we can learn that .

A．emotional maturity automatically grow with age

B．some old people disapprove of early marriage

C．growing group of college students are against early marriage

D．the emotional expectations of young lovers are too high

13．The author's attitude to marriage as an escape is .

A．negative B．unsure

C．indifferent D．acceptable

14．It can be implied from the last paragraph that .

A．early marriages should not be encouraged

B．later marriages are always better than early marriages

C．each marriage should be looked at differently

D．young people can benefit a lot from early marriage

15．What's the best title of the passage?

A．Disillusionment in Marriage B．Expectations for Marriage

C．Marriages and Emotional Maturity D．The Trend of Early Marriages

EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years.16．Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect.17．There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature.18．Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers.19．“Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others.20．To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.

A．Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.

B．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.

C．“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says. D．Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.

E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.

F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.

G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.

【范文】

Dear Peter,

H ow’s everything?

You asked me in your last e-mail about how to spend my winter holiday. Here’s my plan.

First, with the college entrance examination around the corner，I’d like to take advantage of the time to go over my physics which I’m a little bit weak at. Second，as a volunteer of our school, I’m going to a nursing home to do voluntary work with other volunteers. We are going to make dumplings with the elderly and celebrate the Spring Festival together. You told me you would come to China to experience the Chinese Spring Festival, so you are warmly welcome to our hometown to enjoy the Festival with us. Best wishes.

Yours,

Li Hua
