阅读理解( A,B,篇每题2分,C篇每题1分,共25分)
( A )
It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu (流感) that’s been going around?
A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal (药草的) tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.
On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.
Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine (疫苗), it can stop you from getting the virus (病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies (抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.
The flu virus changes every few years. So there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.
However, good health habits (习惯) may also help stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增强免疫系统).
( ) 56. If you have a common cold, usually you’ll feel better after ______ days.
A. 7 B. 10 C. 15 D. 20
( ) 57. According to the passage, which is TRUE of the flu?
A. It is easy to deal with. B. It never gives you fever.
C. It first happened in 1919. D. It can kill people sometimes.
( ) 58. If you get a flu vaccine, ______.
A. your body will develop antibodies
B. it can’t stop you from getting the flu virus
C. it won’t cause your body to develop antibodies
D. your body will get a large amount of flu viruses
( ) 59. We need to get a flu vaccine every year because ______.
A. the flu is very dangerous
B. we probably have a cold in winter
C. the flu virus changes every few years
D. you don’t need to take any medicine after that
( ) 60. The following ways can help stop the flu EXCEPT ______.
A. staying indoors B. getting regular exercise

Are you a happy person most of the time? Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a different temperament (脾气). It is usually be1ieved that both genes (基因)and environment may affect people's temperaments in different ways. But now scientists have found that the season of birth also plays a role.
Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students needed to finish a questionnaire (问卷). The purpose of it was to find out which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questionnaire, scientists found that the students always answered something like "My mood often changes for no reason and "I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky". These answers were then matched with their birthdays.
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moodscompared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.
The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those born in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people's moods even in adult life.
"It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders (紊乱)," lead scientist Xenia Gonda told The Telegraph.
( )65.What probably can't affect people's temperaments according to Paragraph 1?
A? Genes.???????? B. Ages. C. Seasons.??? ? D. Environment.
( )66..What does the under1ined word " ?????? depression " most probably mean?
A. Sadness.????? ? B. Happiness. C. Surprise.?????? D. Excitement.
( )67.Which of the following sentences is NOT true from the passage?
A People born in summer change their moods more easily.
B.The season of birth has an influence on humans' moods.
C. There were 400 middle school students taking part in the study.
D. The answers to the questionnaire were matched with their birthdays .
( )69.What will the writer most Probably write about on? _____________ ?
A. How many kinds of moods thee are.
B. What can change the human body most.
C. How the certain chemicals affect the moods.
D. Whether the students will continue their study.
( )70.What's the best title of this passage?

The haze(雾霾)season is back. How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called “Smog”. The word "Smog" is from the words “smoke” and “fog”, it first appeared in the early 20th century, It is a kind of air pollution(污染)caused(导致)mostly by cars and factories.
Smog will do great harm(伤害)to your health, especially lungs(肺).It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.
Don’t do exercise in the open.
Exercising in the open makes you breathe(呼吸)deeply, and you will take in the particles(颗粒物)deep into your lungs.
Stay indoors and keep the air clean.
If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day, you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.
Wear a mask.
Paper and cotton masks cannot help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.?
Change your diet.
Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs.
So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit every day. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat(脂肪),it’s bad for your lungs.
