First grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.
The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32 year old Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.
In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome ” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”
School can be hard for all kids. That can be even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.
Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”
4. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome
A. It can be treated with drugs.
B. It is usually found at an early age.
C. People with it will say dirty words.
D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.

B. expresses her love for her brother
C. complains about unkind comments

【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。Gavin从小就患有一种罕见的疾病，经常受到他人的嘲笑，但他依然乐观面对生活并与母亲和姐姐制作了一个视频来向他人解释这种病症。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.(由于神经紊乱，他常常经历各种不同的突然失控的动作和声音)”可知，得了Tourette’s Syndrome这种病的人会不由控制地发出声音。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. (这失控的行为意味着在公众场合他遭到陌生人的厌恶表情和在公交上和教室里孩子们的残酷嘲讽)”可知，因为这个病，Gavin经常被别人瞧不起。故选D。

Almost every community has some form of rules and some way of enforcing them. So why do we have rules, and what makes people follow them
Studies have suggested that the reason we don't like rule-breaking is because fairness is programmed into our brains. Scientists have found that the brain reacts in a particular way when we feel we are being treated unfairly.A fair situation makes us feel comfortable and even happy, but unfairness causes our brains to respond with negative feelings.The study found that this a so happened when subjects saw others being treated unfairly. They concluded that fairness is one of basic human needs.
Arriving at a feeling of fairness means considering different, often conflicting, points of view. Regardless of the disagreement, people almost always need to compromise. But it can be difficult to arrive at a compromise when there are conflicting interests. This is why communities have rules that everyone must follow.
Social controls are an important factor in setting and following rules.They influence the way we be have, and can be internal (内在的) or external. Internal controls come from within and are based on our values and fears. Most of us don't steal, for example, because we believe that theft is unfair and wrong. We also don't want to disappoint our family and friends. In other words, our internal controls keep us from behaving in ways that cause conflict.
External controls include rewards and punishments. Rewards, such as job promotions and praise, are designed to encourage people to be have and actin the interest of the whole community.
Punishments, such as public embarrassment, fines, and even imprisonment can prevent people from acting against the community's best interests.
People need their communities to function smoothly.If there were no rules, most people would probably still behave positively. However, there would always be a minority who would not. This is why a society without rules is unlikely to exist.
8. What does the underlined word ''this'' in paragraph 2 refer to
A. A program in human brains.
B. A comfortable situation.
C. The response with bad feelings.
D. The requirement off fairness.
9. Why do communities have rules
A. To punish illegal activities. B. To prevent disagreement.
C. To promote fairness. D. To meet various demands.
10. Which of the following is an example of internal control
A. Take exams honestly because cheating is shameful
B. Park in the right place so as not to get a parking ticket.
C. Pay the electricity bill on time in order not to get a late fee.
D. Cooperate with your classmates to win a prize for your class.
11. What is the best title for this passage
A. Living by the rules B. Why communities need rules
C. Reaching a compromise D. How fairness functions
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述了人们生活的社区和社会都需要有规则来促进公平，如果没有规则社会就无法运行。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段的A fair situation makes us feel comfortable and even happy, but unfairness causes our brains to respond with negative feelings. The study found that this a so happened when subjects saw others being treated unfairly.可知，一个不公平的情况会让我们感到舒适甚至开心，但是不公平会让我们的大脑产生负面情绪。他们的研究发现，当受到不公平待遇时，这种情况就会发生。根据句意可知this指代上文提到的“大脑会产生负面情绪”。C. The response with bad feelings.(负面情绪的反应)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的Regardless of the disagreement, people almost always need to compromise. But it can be difficult to arrive at a compromise when there are conflicting interests. This is why communities have rules that everyone must follow.(尽管有分歧，人们总是需要妥协的。但是，当存在利益冲突时，很难达成妥协。这就是为什么社区有每个人都必须遵守的规则)可知，社区设立规则的目的是让人们能够达成妥协，即促进公平。C. To promote fairness.(促进公平)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的Internal controls come from within and are based on our values and fears.In other words, our internal controls keep us from behaving in ways that cause conflict.可知，我们的内部控制基于我们的价值观和恐惧，使我们不做出引起冲突的行为。A. Take exams honestly because cheating is shameful(诚实地参加考试，因为作弊是无耻的)是和我们的价值观相关，属于内部控制，故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的Almost every community has some form of rules and some way of enforcing them.(几乎每一个社区都有某种形式的规则，和某种执行他们的方式)和最后一段的This is why a society without rules is unlikely to exist.(这就是为什么一个没有规则的社会是不可能的)可知，本文主要讲述了人们生活的社区和社会都需要有规则来促进公平，如果没有规则社会就无法运行。A. Living by the rules(按规则生活)可以作为本文的标题，故选A项。
D
An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a host by pathogens（病原体）whose activities harm the host’s tissues and can be spread to other individuals.
Microorganisms（微生物）capable of causing disease are called pathogens. A true pathogen is an infectious agent that causes disease in any possible host. The terms “infection” and “disease” are quite different. In order to cause disease, pathogens must be able to enter the host body, stick to specific host cells, invade and multiply and do damage to host tissues.
Pathogens may be spread through either direct or indirect contact. Direct contact occurs when an individual is infected by contact with the infection source. It also includes taking in the infectious droplets released by sneezing or coughing. Indirect contact occurs when a pathogen can survive the environment outside its host for a long period of time. So lifeless objects that are polluted by direct contact with the infection source may be the indirect contact for easily infected group.
Public health measures typically involve killing the pathogen from its source or from its route of spread. Those measures include ensuring a safe water supply, effectively treating waste water, and initiating animal control and vaccination（疫苗）programs, etc. Personally, the first line of defense is to keep pathogen at bay by following good personal hygiene（卫生）habits. Prevent infection before it begins and avoid spreading it to others with some easy measures, such as washing hands, getting vaccinated and so on.
Man never stops fighting against all kinds of infectious diseases. But in the past two decades at least a dozen “new” disease have been identified, and traditional diseases that appeared to be “on their way out” are re-emerging. Globally, infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death. Clearly, the ballet has not been won. Nevertheless, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to deny the claims of science. We are continually presented with great amounts of relevant scientific and medical knowledge, which encourages us to take more responsibility for our own health.
12. What does paragragh 2 focus on
A. Origin of true pathogens.
B. Nature of infectious diseases.
C Strategies for avoiding tissue damage.
D. Differences between infection and disease.
13. What is likely to cause disease spread through indirect contact
A. Getting bitten by an infected dog.
B. Playing toys a sick child played with.
C. Breathing in tiny drops from sneezing
D. Shaking hands with an infected person.
14. Which of the following can best explain the underlined phrase “at bay” in paragragh 4
A. At risk. B. Off course.
C. Under control. D. Within reach.
15. What does the last paragragh imply
A. Man is at a loss about infectious diseases.
B. Traditional infectious diseases are dying out.
C. Science counts in defeating infectious diseases.
D. The battle against infectious diseases is in vain.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍有关传染病的一些知识。传染病是由病原体侵入宿主而引起的疾病，病原体的活动损害宿主的组织，并可传播给其他个体。科学在战胜传染病方面起着重要作用。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中Microorganisms（微生物）capable of causing disease are called pathogens. A true pathogen is an infectious agent that causes disease in any possible host. The terms “infection” and “disease” are quite different.“能够引起疾病的微生物被称为病原体。真正的病原体是在任何可能的宿主中引起疾病的传染媒介。“感染”和“疾病”的术语是完全不同的。”由此可知，第二段讲述的是“传染病的本质。”故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Indirect contact occurs when a pathogen can survive the environment outside its host for a long period of time. So lifeless objects that are polluted by direct contact with the infection source may be the indirect contact for easily infected group.“当病原体能够在其宿主外的环境中存活很长一段时间的时候接接触发生，因此，直接接触传染源而被污染的无生命物体可能是易感染人群的间接接触。”由此可推断，“一个生病的孩子在玩的玩具”可能通过间接接触引起疾病传播。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中Prevent infection before it begins and avoid spreading it to others with some easy measures, such as washing hands, getting vaccinated and so on.“在感染开始传播前预防感染，并且通过一些简单的措施，如洗手、接种疫苗等，避免传播给他人。”由此可知，Personally, the first line of defense is to keep pathogen at bay by following good personal hygiene（卫生）habits.（就我个人而言，第一道防线就是遵循良好的个人卫生习惯，远离病原体。）中的划线部分at bay的意思是远离病原体，也就是病原体“被控制住”。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Nevertheless, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to deny the claims of science. We are continually presented with great amounts of relevant scientific and medical knowledge, which encourages us to take more responsibility for our own health.“然而，我们大多数人越来越难以否认科学的断言。我们不断地接触大量相关的科学和医学知识，这鼓励我们为自己的健康承担更多的责任。”由此可知，科学在战胜传染病方面起着重要作用。故选C。
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第4小题，根据最后一段中Nevertheless, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to deny the claims of science. We are continually presented with great amounts of relevant scientific and medical knowledge, which encourages us to take more responsibility for our own health.“然而，我们大多数人越来越难以否认科学的断言。我们不断地接触大量相关的科学和医学知识，这鼓励我们为自己的健康承担更多的责任。”由此可知，科学在战胜传染病方面起着重要作用。故选C。

Get a great grasp
Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. ____17____ Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index (食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡). ____18____ Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
____19____ That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don’t hold the pencil too tightly.
____20____
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A. Play games
B. Ask for more advice
C. So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”.
D. You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.
E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

根据空后的Here are five steps that really work!（这里有五个真正有效的步骤）可知，下文是介绍练就一手好字的五个方法，F选项（好消息是几乎每个人都可以提高自己的书法水平）能承接下文，且选项中的handwriting和空前内容相呼应，故选F。
【17题详解】
根据本段的标题Get a great grasp和空前后的内容可知，G选项中hold a pen和前文的hold your pencil相呼应，thumb和下文的内容相呼应，且本段主要讲述的是注意握笔的姿势，G选项（拿钢笔或铅笔的最好方法是让它停在你的拇指底部旁边）能承接上下文，故选G。
【18题详解】
根据空前的Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion（这些线条可以帮助你创建正确大小和比例的字母）可知，C选项（所以a应该是A的一半高）在语义上因果关系，且选项中的大小写A和a与前文提到的the right size, proportion相呼应，故选C。
【19题详解】
根据本段标题Lower the pressure和下文的That makes it harder to make the smooth lines.（这样就更难画出平滑的线条）可知，E选项中的press和标题相呼应，hard和下文的harder相呼应，且语义（有些孩子在写字的时候非常用力）承接下文，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据篇章结构可知，此处应选择一个段落标题，再根据空后的Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. （很多游戏都需要你写或画）可知，本段主要讲的是玩游戏也可以锻炼写字技巧，故A选项“玩游戏”能概括本段的标题。故选A。
【点睛】单词复现法是七选五常用的大题技巧之一，即选项和原文中的某些词相同或互为词根词缀的形式相呼应。根据本段标题Lower the pressure和下文的That makes it harder to make the smooth lines.（这样就更难画出平滑的线条）可知，E选项中的press和标题相呼应，hard和下文的harder相呼应，且语义（有些孩子在写字的时候非常用力）承接下文，故选E。

After releasing a short video on April 27 about planting and cooking peas, Chinese food blogger Li Ziqi became a hit overnight.
"It's really surprising. I didn't expect such a wide response," Li said in ____41____ interview. Li's videos center o1n her life with her grandmother in the countryside. In the videos, Li, often dressed in ____42____ (tradition) garments, rises at sunrise, rests at sunset, plants seeds and harvests flowers, cooks Chinese ____43____ (dish) and crafts bamboo furniture. Li's overseas followers have praised her videos for ____44____ (show) the simple and elegant side of China's country life. ____45____, back home, there have long been debates on whether her presentation is unrealistically poetic.
In response, Li, who ____46____ (raise) in the countryside, said “____47____ I present is just a lifestyle I've followed and appreciated. Nowadays, most people are ____48____ (extreme) stressed, so I hope they can feel relaxed when they watch my videos. There are so many ideas in my mind of old craftsmanship and food we ____49____ (enjoy) for thousands of years .Some are almost forgotten. I hope _____50_____ (preserve) them through my small efforts.”
【答案】41. an 42. traditional
43. dishes 44. showing
45. However
46. was raised
47. What 48. extremely
49. have been enjoying/have enjoyed
50. to preserve
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一夜成名的博主李子柒。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：“这真是令人吃惊。我没想到会有如此广泛的反响，”李子柒在接受采访时说。根据句意可知，此处是指一次采访，泛指，用冠词a/an修饰名词，interview是以元音音素开头的词，用an修饰。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在视频中，李子柒经常穿着传统服装，日出时起床，日落时休息，种植种子和收获鲜花，烹饪中国菜和制作竹家具。根据空后的名词garments可知，设空处使用形容词修饰名词作定语。故填traditional。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意同上。根据句意可知，中国菜不止一道，dish应用复数形式。故填dishes。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：李子柒的海外粉丝称赞她的视频展示了中国乡村生活简单优雅的一面。根据空前的介词for可知，此处用动名词作宾语。故填showing。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，在国内，关于她的演讲是否具有不切实际的诗意，一直存在争议。根据上文Li's overseas followers have praised her videos for (show) the simple and elegant side of China's country life.可知，设空处所在句子与上文是转折关系，此处应用副词however做句子的状语，位于句首，首字母大写。故填However。
【46题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：在农村长大的李子柒回应道：“我现在所呈现的只是一种我一直遵循并欣赏的生活方式。”本句是个定语从句，关系词指代的是Li，从句的主语是Li与谓语raise之间是被动关系，因此使用被动语态be done，根据主句的谓语said可知，使用一般过去时，因此，设空处使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was raised。
【47题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意同上。本句为主语从句，从句中谓语动词present缺少宾语，结合句意可知，用what引导，指代“呈现的内容”，位于句首，首字母大写。故填What。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意：现在，大多数人的压力都很大，所以我希望他们在看我的视频时能感到放松。此处修饰形容词stressed，应用副词形式。故填extremely。
【49题详解】
考查时态。句意：在我的脑海中有很多关于我们享受了几千年的古老工艺和食物的想法。根据时间状语nowadays可知，可以使用现在完成时的进行时表达过去一直延续到现在，现在还在进行，也可使用现在完成时。主语是we，使用have been doing或have done。故填have been enjoying/have enjoyed。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我希望通过自己的小小努力来保护它们。hope to do sth.希望做某事，是固定用法。故填to preserve。

I am sorry I won’t be able to attend to your birthday party this Sunday. I’m feeling terribly about it and I want to make an apology to you. I appreciate invited to your birthday party. I would like to come and shared the precious moment with you. But this Sunday, we volunteer will go to the countryside and teach the left-behind children English, who is of great significance for us and them as well. As the result, I will be absent from your party.
Is it possible for you or me to have a private meeting sometime after the party I do long for a pleased chat with you. To my regret you will miss the chance to enjoy a happy get-together. Once again, please accept my sincere apology.
Wish you a happy birthday.
【答案】1.去掉attend后to
2.terribly→terrible
3.appreciate后添加being
4.shared→share
5volunteer→volunteers
6.who→which
7.the→a
8.or→and
9.pleased→pleasing
10.you→I
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。作者无法参加对方周日的生日聚会，说明了原因并期望再约时间见面聊天。
【详解】1.考查动词用法。句意：很抱歉，这个星期天我不能参加你的生日聚会了。attend为及物动词，后面可直接跟宾语。故去掉attend后to。
2.考查形容词。句意：我对此感觉很糟糕，我想向你道歉。此处作表语，表示“糟糕的”应用形容词terrible。故terribly改为terrible。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意：谢谢你邀请我参加你的生日聚会。此处I与invite为被动关系，且根据短语appreciate doing sth.可知，应用动名词的被动式作宾语。故appreciate后添加being。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：我想和你一起分享这宝贵的时刻。结合句意表示“想要做某事”可知短语为would like to do sth.。故shared改为share。
5.考查名词的数。句意：但是这个星期天，我们志愿者将去农村教留守儿童英语，这对我们和他们都是很重要的。volunteer为可数名词，根据上文we可知，数量大于一，应用复数形式。故volunteer改为volunteers。
6.考查定语从句。句意：但是这个星期天，我们志愿者将去农村教留守儿童英语，这对我们和他们都是很重要的。此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰上文整个句子，且从句中缺少主语，应用which引导。故who改为which。
7.考查冠词。句意：因此，我将缺席你的聚会。结合句意表示“因此”可知，短语为as a result。故the改为a。
8.考查连词。句意：我和你能在派对结束后单独见面吗？此处表示“我和你”应用连词and。故or改为and。
9.考查形容词。句意：我渴望与你愉快地交谈。修饰名词chat应用-ing结尾形容词pleasing；pleased常用于修饰人，表示“感到愉快的”不符合语境。故pleased改为pleasing。
10.考查代词。句意：遗憾的是，我将错过这个愉快的聚会的机会。结合语境，指“我”将错过这次机会，应用代词I。故you改为I。

First grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.
The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32 year old Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.
In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome ” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”
School can be hard for all kids. That can be even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.
Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”
4. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome
A. It can be treated with drugs.
B. It is usually found at an early age.
C. People with it will say dirty words.
D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.
5. Because of the disease, others often _________.
A. take pity on Gavin B. give a hand to Gavin
C. keep away from Gavin D. look down upon Gavin
6. In the video, Gavin’s sister __________.
A. explains her brother’s disease
B. expresses her love for her brother
C. complains about unkind comments
D. encourages others to donate money
7. What can be used to best describe Gavin
A. Lucky. B. Helpless.
C. Optimistic. D. Stubborn.
C
Almost every community has some form of rules and some way of enforcing them. So why do we have rules, and what makes people follow them
Studies have suggested that the reason we don't like rule-breaking is because fairness is programmed into our brains. Scientists have found that the brain reacts in a particular way when we feel we are being treated unfairly.A fair situation makes us feel comfortable and even happy, but unfairness causes our brains to respond with negative feelings.The study found that this a so happened when subjects saw others being treated unfairly. They concluded that fairness is one of basic human needs.
Arriving at a feeling of fairness means considering different, often conflicting, points of view. Regardless of the disagreement, people almost always need to compromise. But it can be difficult to arrive at a compromise when there are conflicting interests. This is why communities have rules that everyone must follow.
Social controls are an important factor in setting and following rules.They influence the way we be have, and can be internal (内在的) or external. Internal controls come from within and are based on our values and fears. Most of us don't steal, for example, because we believe that theft is unfair and wrong. We also don't want to disappoint our family and friends. In other words, our internal controls keep us from behaving in ways that cause conflict.
External controls include rewards and punishments. Rewards, such as job promotions and praise, are designed to encourage people to be have and actin the interest of the whole community.
Punishments, such as public embarrassment, fines, and even imprisonment can prevent people from acting against the community's best interests.
People need their communities to function smoothly.If there were no rules, most people would probably still behave positively. However, there would always be a minority who would not. This is why a society without rules is unlikely to exist.
8. What does the underlined word ''this'' in paragraph 2 refer to
A. A program in human brains.
B. A comfortable situation.
C. The response with bad feelings.
D. The requirement off fairness.

An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a host by pathogens（病原体）whose activities harm the host’s tissues and can be spread to other individuals.
Microorganisms（微生物）capable of causing disease are called pathogens. A true pathogen is an infectious agent that causes disease in any possible host. The terms “infection” and “disease” are quite different. In order to cause disease pathogens must be able to enter the host body, stick to specific host cells, invade and multiply and do damage to host tissues.
Pathogens may be spread through either direct or indirect contact. Direct contact occurs when an individual is infected by contact with the infection source. It also includes taking in the infectious droplets released by sneezing or coughing. Indirect contact occurs when a pathogen can survive the environment outside its host for a long period of time. So lifeless objects that are polluted by direct contact with the infection source may be the indirect contact for easily infected group.
Public health measures typically involve killing the pathogen from its source or from its route of spread. Those measures include ensuring a safe water supply, effectively treating waste water, and initiating animal control and vaccination（疫苗）programs, etc. Personally, the first line of defense is to keep pathogen at bay by following good personal hygiene（卫生）habits. Prevent infection before it begins and avoid spreading it to others with some easy measures, such as washing hands, getting vaccinated and so on.
Man never stops fighting against all kinds of infectious diseases. But in the past two decades at least a dozen “new” disease have been identified, and traditional diseases that appeared to be “on their way out” are re-emerging. Globally, infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death. Clearly, the ballet has not been won. Nevertheless, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to deny the claims of science. We are continually presented with great amounts of relevant scientific and medical knowledge, which encourages us to take more responsibility for our own health.
12. What does paragragh 2 focus on
A. Origin of true pathogens.
B. Nature of infectious diseases.
C. Strategies for avoiding tissue damage.
D. Differences between infection and disease.
13. What is likely to cause disease spread through indirect contact
A Getting bitten by an infected dog.
B. Playing toys a sick child played with.
C. Breathing in tiny drops from sneezing
D. Shaking hands with an infected person.
14. Which of the following can best explain the underlined phrase “at bay” in paragragh 4
A. At risk. B. Off course.
C. Under control. D. Within reach.
15. What does the last paragragh imply
A. Man is at a loss about infectious diseases.
B. Traditional infectious diseases are dying out.
C. Science counts in defeating infectious diseases.
D. The battle against infectious diseases is in vain.
