閱讀理解ameasles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the united states 14 years ago by the universal use of the mmr vaccine(疫苗). but the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the usa, compared with 189 for all of last year.the numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. when vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. this is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who cant be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesnt work.but herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. when some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.thats exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from orange county, california, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to brooklyn, n.y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.the resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(決定不參加)of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. but no one does enough to limit exemptions.parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. but personal opinions?not good enough. everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but theyll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.1.the first two paragraphs suggest that.a.a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendb.the outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionc.anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasonsd.information about measles spreads quickly2.herd immunity works well when.a.exemptions are allowedb.several vaccines are used togetherc.the whole neighborhood is involved ind.new regulations are added to the state laws3.what is the main reason for the comeback of measles?a.the overuse of vaccine.b.the lack of medical care.c.the features of measles itself.d.the vaccine opt-outs of some people.4.what is the purpose of the passage?a.to introduce the idea of exemption.b.to discuss methods to cure measles.c.to stress the importance of vaccination.d.to appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.答案1.a2.c3.d4.cb“did you hear what happened to adam last friday?” lindsey whispers to tori.with her eyes shining, tori brags, “you bet i did. sean told me two days ago.”who are lindsey and tori talking about? it just happens to be yours truly, adam freedman. i can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. still, lindsey and tori arent very different from most students here at linton high school, including me. many of our conversations are gossip(閑話). i have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.an important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. usually, gossip spreads information about a topicbreakups, trouble at home, even dropping outthat a person would rather keep secret. the more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. people often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.if we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? the answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. sharing the latest rumor (傳言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others dont. similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.” in other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority (優(yōu)越感).gossip can also have a third effect:it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. professor david wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what john wore or what jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. the dos and donts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.the effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. the next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.5.the author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to.a.introduce a topicb.present an argumentc.describe the charactersd.clarify his writing purpose6.an important negative effect of gossip is that it.a.breaks up relationshipsb.embarrasses the listenerc.spreads information aroundd.causes unpleasant experiences7.in the authors opinion, many people like to gossip because it.a.gives them a feeling of pleasureb.helps them to make more friendsc.makes them better at telling storiesd.enables them to meet important people8.professor david wilson thinks that gossip can.a.provide students with written rulesb.help people watch their own behaviorsc.force schools to improve student handbooksd.attract the polices attention to group behaviors9.what advice does the author give in the passage?a.never become a gossiper.b.stay away from gossipers.c.dont let gossip turn into lies.d.think twice before you gossip.答案1.a2.d3.a4.b5.d第三節(jié) 任務(wù)型閱讀feet of clayin 604 bc, the second year of his reign, babylonian king nebuchadnezzar had a dream which left his spirit no rest and robbed him of his sleep. so he ordered that wise men of babylon be called to interpret the dream for him.they answered the king, “o king, live forever, tell your servants your dream, and we will declare the interpretation.” the king said, “the thing is gone out of my mind. unless you tell me the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall be put to death. but if you tell the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall receive rewards, and gifts, and great honour.”unluckily no one could fulfill the task. hearing this, the king was in great anger, and commanded all the wise men of babylon be put to death. when arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of babylon, told the matter to the prophet(先知)daniel, he immediately went to the king and begged for the time to resolve the question.after some mysterious praying, daniel went to arioch and said, “bring me in before the king, and i will tell the solution to the king.” the king said to daniel, “can you really tell me the dream that i saw, and the interpretation of it?” daniel replied, “the secret that the king desires to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, can declare to the king. but there is a god in heaven that reveals mysteries, and he wants you to know what is going to happen.” “to me also,” daniel added, “this secret is revealed, so i can reveal your dream.”then daniel began, “you, o king, saw a great statue: this statue, which was great and high, stood before you, and the look was terrible. the head of this statue was of fine gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, and the belly and the thighs of brass(黃銅). and the legs of iron, the feet part of iron and part of clay. then suddenly you saw a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it struck the statue upon the feet that were of iron and of clay, and broke them in pieces. then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and they were carried away by the wind. there was no place found for them, but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” “this is the dream. we will also tell the interpretation to you.” he continued, “you are a king of kings, and the god of heaven has given you a kingdom. but as you dreamt, the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay; the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. that means you will not rule forever. the other parts of the statue represent other kings that will come after you. the big rock stands for the kingdom god will set up. it will destroy all other kingdoms and it will last forever!”then king nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, and worshipped daniel, and commanded that wise men of babylon be pardoned from death. and the king made daniel governor over all the p
