Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading—Comprehending
阅读理解
A
Recently my family travelled to southern Africa for three weeks. We had a specific purpose for this trip: to spend time with our son serving in an organization that helps with projects in Namibia.
After travelling through Namibia, we ended in Cape Town, South Africa. There, I was struck by a message on a tourist bus: “Go places. Prosper.” To prosper not only relates to financial success, but includes engaging in activities that open minds and hearts.
The good news is that Americans travel internationally more than we often think, and international travel continues to increase. But unfortunately, the destinations tend to be places where we are not challenged by differences in culture or lifestyle: 55 percent travel to Canada or Mexico, while less than one percent go to Africa.
In Cape Town, we stayed at a couple’s home. Living in their home gave us insight into their day－to－day lives. Their books and decor revealed their religious background, language and interests. One of our Uber drivers was from Zimbabwe and shared stories about his struggles to make ends meet in his country, and his hopes of making a life in South Africa. While in Namibia we spent several days with our son’s host family. His Namibian parents are both educators, with several children, and they have become close to our son. We ate “braai”—traditional Namibian grilled meat—and shared our hopes for the future.
We prospered for sure. Every day we experienced new dialects, aromas(芳香), and trials and tribulations(磨难)．In the end, we came to understand not only the differences between us and others, but more importantly the humanity that connects us with others: the importance of family, the aspirations(渴望) for a good future, and the mutual goodwill we shared with those we met.

“We found that immigrants begin losing their native microbes(微生物) almost immediately after arriving in the US and then acquire microbes that are more common in European－American people，” says senior author Dan Knights, a biologist at the University of Minnesota. “But the new microbes aren’t enough to make up for the loss of the native microbes, so we see a big overall loss of diversity. It has been shown before that people in developing nations have a much greater diversity.”
The research was inspired by Minnesota’s large community of immigrants from Southeast Asia, particularly the Hmong and Karen peoples, ethnic minorities from China and Burma.“Obesity was a concern that was coming up a lot for the Hmong and Karen communities here. In other studies, the microbiome(微生物菌群) had been related to obesity, so we wanted to know if there was potentially a relationship in immigrants and if we can make any findings relevant and available to the communities，” says first author Pajau Vangay.
The researchers did find that significant changes happened that fast: in those first six to nine months after people’s immigration, the Western microbes began to supersede the non－Western ones. But this westernization also continued to happen over the course of the first decade in the US, and the overall microbiome diversity decreased when the immigrants had been longer in the US. The participants’ food logs suggested that eating a more Western diet played a role but couldn’t explain all the changes.
Although the research didn’t establish a cause－and－effect relationship between the microbiome changes in immigrants and the immigrant obesity, it did show a correlation: greater westernization of the microbiome was associated with greater obesity.
Knights believes that the research has a lot to tell us about our health. “We do see that westernization of the microbiome is associated with obesity in immigrants, so this could be an interesting avenue for future research into treatment of obesity, both in immigrants and potentially in the broader population.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，东南亚人移民到美国后他们身上的微生物群发生了改变。
4．What can we know from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A．Westernization in lifestyle is responsible for obesity.
B．Obese people lose their native microbes after immigration.
C．Immigrants’ microbes disappear shortly after immigration.
D．There may be many obese Hmong and Karen immigrants in Minnesota.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的Obesity was a concern that was coming up a lot for the Hmong and Karen communities here.可知，明尼苏达州可能存在很多肥胖的苗族和凯伦移民。
5．What does the underlined word “supersede” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Rebuild. B．Replace.
C．Improve. D．Copy.
B 解析：词义猜测题。结合第一段中的that immigrants begin losing their native microbes(微生物)及第三段中的The researchers did find that significant changes happened that fast...and the overall microbiome diversity decreased when the immigrants had been longer in the US.可知，supersede是“取代，替代”。
6．In the last paragraph, Knights wants to stress ________．
A．the disadvantages of immigration
B．the partial value of the research
C．the influence of westernization
D．the hidden dangers of obesity
B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中Knights的谈话内容可推知，Knights此处主要强调了此项研究对治疗肥胖的价值。

The hardest memorization task I ever had was to give an 18－minute TEDx talk from memory. I remember struggling with remembering the exact words. Then I remembered the “production effect”， which is a way to strengthen memory by actually forcing the recall in the appropriate setting. In other words, I needed to rehearse(排练) by actually giving the speech in front of a mirror.
The usual thing we think of about improving memory is the need for rehearsal, especially the kind of rehearsal where you force recall after the initial learning. But another more effective way is to strengthen the memory at the time of learning by speaking it, singing it, drawing it in some way. Writing by hand or typing the information also strengthens memory, and studies have shown that handwriting is more effective than typing. Any of these approaches is much more effective than silent reading, viewing, or listening.
Why this works to improve memory probably relates to the fact that more attentiveness and processing are required in production than in just silent reading or listening. One common explanation is that production makes each item more characteristic. That is, by saying it, drawing it, or whatever, the item acquires more features and becomes more characteristic.
As far as I know, the production effect has been studied only with respect to rote memory(remember something by repeating it rather than understanding its meaning) tasks. I think that it would be even more powerful if applied when using mnemonics(记忆术). For example, if you are using the “memory palace”， as you mentally place an item to be memorized on a room object in your mind’s eye, you might actually describe aloud what you are imagining. The production effect should also be useful during forced retrieval(检索) rehearsals as well. Anytime you retrieve a memory item, it is an opportunity to re－learn it. So, if you speak, draw, or use another production effect during forced recall, you further strengthen the encoding and subsequent consolidation.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文，主要说明了“加工效应”在增强记忆中的应用。
7．How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By listing some figures.
B．By coming straight to the point.
C．By citing his personal experience.
D．By using quotes from famous people.
C 解析：推理判断题。第一段中作者通过自己的亲身经历引出本文话题。
8．Which method is most probably recommended by the author to strengthen memory?
A．Reading and listening silently at the time of learning.
B．Writing down the information at the time of learning.
C．Rehearsing the information at spaced intervals.
D．Typing the information to learn.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的But another more effective way ...by speaking it, singing it, drawing it in some way. 以及下文中的 ...studies have shown that handwriting is more effective than typing.可知，在选项提到的四种方法中，在学习时用笔记下所学信息是作者最赞成的方法。
9．In Paragraph 3, the author mainly tells us ________．
A．the situations in which the production effect can be used
B．the difference between silent reading and listening
C．the relation between memorization and attention
D．the reasons why the production effect is useful
D 解析：段落大意题。通读第三段可知，第三段中作者主要解释了“加工效应”为何有效。
10．What can we know about the “production effect” according to the last paragraph?
A．It works merely when you take notes.
B．It is mainly suitable for scholars and lecturers.
C．It should be used more widely in improving memory.
D．It includes three steps: rote memory, mnemonics and retrieval rehearsals.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的As far as I know, the production effect ...I think that it would be even more powerful...以及下文中的The production effect should also be useful during forced retrieval(检索) rehearsals as well.可知，作者认为“加工效应”应该被广泛应用于加强记忆。

If other people in the elevator seem annoyed or upset by your conversation, you may want to change the topic or quiet down.
If you are trapped in the back of a crowded elevator and you need to get off, call out “my floor” to warn other riders to the fact that you wish to get off. 4.________ If you see someone struggling to get off an elevator, you may want to step out to make room, and then step back in.
5．________ Usually as long as you make a good－faith effort to stay out of the way, you will not upset anyone. If you aren’t certain about whether or not a behavior is appropriate in an elevator, ask yourself how comfortable you would be if someone else in the elevator did it first.

My first term at MIT(麻省理工学院) was awesome — I got all A’s, and I declared math as my major. My parents were expecting me to become a doctor like them so I was trying to satisfy them. But I was desperately running away from them. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. My third term, I ended up with a D in math. I didn’t do that well in my other classes, either. It seemed like all my friends were doing so well, getting opportunities over the summers.
My fifth term, I realized that I was awful at higher?level math. I had lost all confidence in myself. I went to a few classes at the beginning of the term, but after the midterm, I totally stopped. My only relief was the dance team I was on. I would sleep all day, and then go to dance practice, and then go back to sleep. As expected, I failed in all of my classes and had to withdraw from MIT.
I had no choice but to tell my parents. Instead of yelling or hitting me, though, they just held me and cried. The next day, my dad took a day off from work and took me to a nearby, small arts college.
I had lost all confidence in myself. Before my first biology test, I didn’t think I could pass. I did pass. Since I had so much free time, I decided to join a biology lab. I realized that was what I wanted to do! I wanted to be a scientist!
This past May, I graduated with the highest honors, and now I have my PhD in biology. Though it ended up taking me 5 years to graduate from college, I can say now that dropping out of MIT was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I’ve realized that a person is not their grades. I’ve realized how much my parents loved me. I’ve finally discovered my passion(热情) in life!

Some people shy away from travelling alone while a few welcome it. So, what is it that makes travelling alone an attractive option?
First of all, the travel plan and all the decisions you make are yours alone. You don’t need to worry about any other person or group. In other words, there are no arguments. Actually, you can be completely selfish.
Travelling alone is also a great confidence builder. Yes, at times it can feel a bit lonely, but that is just one of many problems you will have to solve yourself, along with making your own arrangements and setting your own goals.
Besides, have you noticed that when you’re on your own, people are more willing to start a conversation with you? Interestingly, people tend to keep a distance from couples and groups. However, the lone(孤单的) traveller looks ready to connect with their fellow human beings and more likely to get into pleasant conversation about their trips.
Here are two more exciting reasons why you should consider travelling alone. You will find you learn the language faster when you don’t have someone else talking to you in your own language all the time. You are forced to communicate in the foreign language when you travel alone in a country that doesn’t speak your native language. If that doesn’t convince you, there is the chance for adventure and even love. When you’re on your own, you’re free to meet someone who might turn out to be very important in your life.
Of course, there may be things holding you back: You fear the unknown, or you have friends who may be upset by your decision to take off by yourself. You will have to convince them of the value of travelling alone and allay any fears they might have, but with the technology at our fingertips, you can include them in the adventure.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了独自旅游的一些好处。
1．What is the first advantage of travelling alone mentioned by the author?
A．It helps you gain confidence.
B．It makes you free from worry.
C．It keeps you away from crowds.
D．It allows you to focus on yourself.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段可知，独自旅行时，你可以自己制定旅行计划，自己做决定，不必担心其他人或团体，没有争论。 由此可知，作者提到的第一个独自旅行的优点是：它能让你在旅行过程中完全按照自己的喜好行事。
2．Why are people more willing to connect with lone travellers?
A．They look interesting.
B．They are easily convinced.
C．It is much easier to approach them.
D．It’s safe to talk to a single individual.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的the lone(孤单的) traveller looks ready to connect with their fellow human beings可知，独自旅行的人看起来愿意和他人建立联系。也就是说，他们比较容易接近。
3．What does the underlined word “allay” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Express. B．Ease.
C．Analyse. D．Experience.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段画线单词所在句可知，此处主要是说如何应对朋友不愿让你独自旅游的情况。作者建议可以说服朋友，让他们认识到独自旅行的意义，并减轻他们的担心与害怕，而且通过一些唾手可得的科技，你随时可以和朋友保持联系，让他们加入你独自旅行的冒险历程中。所以allay的意思是“减轻，使缓和”。
4．Which of the following would the author agree with?
A．Having an adventure with your friends first.
B．Getting ready to come across the unknown.
C．Learning a foreign language before travelling.
D．Finding a travelling companion during your trip.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的there is the chance for adventure and even love和最后一段中的You fear the unknown可知，独自旅行可能是一场冒险，也可能让你邂逅真爱，所有这些都是未知的事物。但不要因为惧怕未知就不去独自旅行了，所以作者的言下之意是，要独自旅行就要做好随时遇到未知事物的准备。

There are all kinds of ways to go fishing. Probably one of the most interesting ways of catching fish is stilt fishing(立钓), something that is only found in the clear waters of Sri Lanka, an island in the Indian Ocean.
A fisherman takes a long piece of wood. At one end there is a crossbar(横梁) called a “petta”， which is where the fisherman sits. The wood is carried out a few metres into the water, and then pushed vertically(垂直地) into the sea floor. The fisherman climbs up to the petta, where he will sit two metres above the sea.
Fishing from this position requires great skill. The fisherman keeps his balance by holding onto the stilt beneath him with one hand. On his wrist he carries a bag made from coconut leaves. There he keeps his bait(鱼饵) and any fish he may catch. With the other hand, he casts(抛) his fishing line.
This style of fishing began during World War Ⅱ when there was not enough food in Sri Lanka. Crowds stood on the coastline trying to catch their next meal. The more adventurous fishermen came up with the idea of sitting on a stilt. They could keep away from the crowds and catch more fish. When the war came to an end, stilt fishing continued.
On 26th December 2004, Sri Lanka was hit by a disaster which killed many fishermen and destroyed much of its coastline. Fishing on stilts became less popular. It stops completely during the rainy season. As more tourists now visit Sri Lanka, fishermen have found they can earn more money if they allow their fishing stilts to be used by actors so tourists can take photographs of them. The actors know little more about fishing than the tourists themselves. However, if you look hard enough, you can sometimes find the real thing.
But whether they are real fishermen or actors, fishing on stilts does look marvelous—especially when the day is coming to an end and the sun begins to set. These photographs alone make you want to visit Sri Lanka!
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了斯里兰卡海边的一道独特的风景线——立钓。
5．How do fishermen fish on stilts?
A．By sitting on a petta.
B．By standing in the water.
C．By keeping the bait in their hand.
D．By throwing their line with two hands.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的At one end there is a crossbar(横梁) called a “petta”， which is where the fisherman sits.可知，渔民坐在一个被称为“petta”的横梁上钓鱼。
6．Why did people restart fishing on stilts after 2004?
A．To solve food problems.
B．To keep this tradition alive.
C．To make money from travellers.
D．To keep away from the large crowds.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的As more tourists now visit Sri Lanka, fishermen have found they can earn more money if they allow their fishing stilts to be used by actors so tourists can take photographs of them.可知，2004年以后人们重操旧业，再次进行立钓的原因是为了吸引游客以从中赚取利益。
7．What does the underlined word “marvelous” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Funny. B．Strange.
C．Wonderful. D．Dangerous.
C 解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的especially when the day is coming to an end and the sun begins to set. These photographs alone make you want to visit Sri Lanka.可知，渔民或表演者在黄昏日落时钓鱼的景象非常美，单是他们钓鱼的照片就能激起你前往斯里兰卡的欲望。
8．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To introduce stilt fishing.
B．To show how to attract tourists.
C．To describe the history of stilt fishing.
D．To encourage people to visit Sri Lanka.
A 解析：写作目的题。根据文中作者对斯里兰卡立钓的方式、历史及现状的介绍可知，作者旨在为读者介绍斯里兰卡海边的一道独特的风景线——立钓。

Learning a musical instrument has a lot of benefits. Not surprisingly, many parents are willing to spend money to give their children this experience. What parents do can determine the quality of the learning experience. But parents’ encouragement can quickly develop into nagging(唠叨). Nagging a child to practice only makes the activity feel like a task. Children are also likely to stop playing as soon as they can make that choice. So, what can parents do to encourage their children to practice?
Most young children enjoy singing and movement. They are also not overly concerned with self－image. While a teenager might avoid singing or playing an instrument for fear of how their peers(同龄人) might react, younger children freely engage in musical activity. Parents should know that a good early musical experience can help children shift gradually from play－based learning to more structured learning.
The media generally praise professional musicians as “talented”. What’s lost in their wonderful stories is that their good mastery of an instrument is in fact the result of much effort and learning. Praising a child for being talented strengthens a fixed idea around musical ability. Children are likely to view their own struggles with learning music as evidence that they aren’t talented. So parents need to make them recognize that practice makes perfect.
A ten－year study shows children who display a long commitment to an instrument show higher levels of musical achievement. Children who imagine themselves playing their instrument into adulthood are highly motivated. Parents should encourage their children to see learning an instrument as a useful skill that can bring satisfaction into adult life. It isn’t simply this year’s after－school activity.
Lessons, exams and practice schedules are all very well, but finally music should be a shared activity. Create an environment where music is a vital part of family life. As your children learn, notice their struggles and celebrate their wins.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要分析了家长在儿童学习乐器过程中应当发挥的作用。
1．What’s the problem that lies in children’s instrument learning?
A．Parents may fail to help children develop good habits.
B．Some families have difficulty affording music lessons.
C．The pressure from parents makes children less motivated.
D．Children are unable to make a balance between study and practice.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的Nagging a child to practice ...feel like a task ...stop playing as soon as they can make that choice.可知，在儿童的乐器学习过程中，家长容易通过唠叨的方式催促儿童练习，但这会造成儿童缺乏学习动力。
2．Paragraph 2 suggests that children’s instrument learning ________．
A．requires parents’ company
B．should start in early childhood
C．should be based on children’s characters
D．can be improved through strict education
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的younger children freely engage ...a good early musical experience can help children ...structured learning.可知，乐器学习应该从童年早期开始。
3．According to Paragraph 4, parents should help children ________．
A．join relaxing after－school activities
B．choose what kind of instrument to play

D．realize the long－term benefits of playing instruments

Hi.I’m a research scientist at the largest station in Antarctica.A station is basically where all the scientists live and work.Most people only spend a few months of the year working there, usually over the summer，when there can be as many as 1，000 people at our station，with a total population in Antarctica of around 8，000 people.?This number drops during the winter when conditions are much harder.It’s dark all the time and most people stay inside the station 24 hours a day.It’s possible to fly there by helicopter or sea plane but most people travel to the station by ship.?
Life in Antarctica is very different from life at home.The food is actually really good.There’s quite a lot of fish on the menu, but things like eggs and fresh vegetables soon run out.We have to be careful about the amount of water we use as all the water has to be made from sea water.
Another thing we have to be very careful about is recycling.As much as possible is recycled because any rubbish produced on the station that can’t be recycled has to be taken away from Antarctica twice a year to help protect the environment.?But generally life is comfortable enough and you have such amazing chances to be in one of the wildest and most beautiful places in the world.?
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
If you are travelling from one of London’s international airports to central London, don’t take taxi unless you are very rich! The minimum fare from Heathrow, the airport nearest to central London, is about ￡25. If you are travelling in a group of four people and each of you has a lot of luggage(行李), you may feel that it would be worth paying for a taxi.
If you simply want to cross London from one railway station to another or from a station to your hotel, then a taxi may be a good idea. Although taxis may seem quite expensive, they make life a lot easier if you have a lot of luggage, or if you are not confident about finding your way around the underground system. Here are some useful facts about using taxis：
★Licensed(有许可证的) taxis are large, and usually black, vehicles with a small white plate(牌照) on the back showing a license number and the words Hackney Carriages.
★The best place to find a taxi is at a railway station. Follow the signs for taxi and you will find what is called a taxi rank (a place in the road where a taxi can stop). Another good place to find a taxi is near a large hotel.
★If you are not at a station, you will have to stand in the street and wait for one to go past. Look for a taxi which has an orange light lit up over the driver’s window—this means that it is not being used by anyone else.
★When the taxi is quite close, raise your arm and wave the driver down. The taxi should stop for you.
★When you pay, it is usual to give the driver a tip of at least 10%.

A new TV documentary(纪录片) is being made which charts the lives of three children who are making a home in Britain. In each case, the children have travelled to the UK alone to join their mothers after a separation of several years.
Imran is 11 and lived in Pakistan with his grandmother before coming to a village near Peterborough in the East Midlands to join his mother and his new stepfather(继父), whom he had not met before. He speaks Urdu and Punjabi, but not a word of English. Imran soon got into trouble at school because he was at a disadvantage among his confident English?born classmates. The other children mock(嘲笑) him because they think he is not cool, so he covers up his awkwardness by playing the fool. After school he sits drawing a picture of himself with tears on each cheek.
Like Imran, 10?year?old Altynay from Kyrgyzstan, spoke no English when she arrived at her new home in Penistone, Yorkshire, but she was lucky to have Kanykei, who has lived in England for three years, to interpret for her. Even so, this little girl, who was the head girl at her old school, found her first few months here very hard. Early in the film she is shown laughing and dancing with Kanykei, while later she appears to be homesick and disappointed by the language barrier at her village school. But that was a few months ago. Kanykei confirms that Altynay is happier now because she has learned more English.
Compared with the two, Marshal has a huge advantage, having been educated at English?language schools in Zimbabwe. He is also outgoing. When asked if settling into a new country is hard for him, he shakes his head, “No, it was not hard for me. I am a brave person.” But his new life is not without difficulties. “It is his reading I am worried about，” says his mother Josephine. “He didn’t have my support when he needed it.”

A．She is adapting to the new life speedily.
B．She finds it easy to learn a new language.
C．She is experiencing a positive change now.

C．He has fewer difficulties in language.
D．He faces more challenges in his new life.

Dussehra is one of the main festivals of India. It is mainly celebrated by Hindus around September or October. The celebration of Dussehra continues for almost ten days in some parts of India. The festival celebrates the victory of good over evil.
Lord Rama killed Ravana because he had taken Sita, Rama’s wife, away by force. Hanuman helped Lord Rama to reach the kingdom of Ravana and save Sita from his captivity(监禁). Hanuman set Ravana’s kingdom on fire with his tail. Lord Rama had a fierce battle with Ravana and finally managed to kill him. Therefore, this day is celebrated as Dussehra.
Ram Lila is an important part of Dussehra. It is organized at different places. Different events from the life of Lord Rama are made into plays and presented on stage. The actors play the roles of Lord Rama, Sita, Hanuman, Ravana and other characters from Ramayana, a great long poem telling of the adventures of Rama. Parents usually take their children to watch such plays. It is a big source of amusement during this festival. Sometimes, a fair is organized alongside for the event. People can enjoy tasty food and delightful rides.
On Dussehra, people decorate their houses and make sweets and other delicious foods. They love to wear new clothes on this day.
On the day of Dussehra, huge models of Ravana, Kumbhakarna and Meghnad are put up. These models are filled with crackers(爆竹). In the evening, the public gathers around these models at a distance. Then, the person who performs the role of Rama shoots a fiery arrow(燃烧着的箭) at Ravana and the models start burning one by one. The crackers inside these models start bursting with a loud noise. In no time, the models are turned into ashes.
People happily return to their homes and exchange greetings with each other. The day teaches us an important lesson that good always wins and evil loses.

Although vaccines are required for entry into school in most places in the United States, the government does allow for exceptions, like religious reasons.
In the last few years, the rates of vaccine?preventable illness have been on the rise. In most cases, these outbreaks began with children who were unvaccinated. To deal with this threat, some schools in New York have been refusing to allow unvaccinated children to attend school. Several parents thought this was unfair and filed lawsuits(起诉). Just recently, though, a court(法庭) ruled in favor of the city schools.
The court made the right decision. Vaccine policy depends not only on the added protection that vaccines provide for those who get shots, but also on the decreased likelihood that anyone will come into contact(接触) with the disease. This is known as community immunity. It refers to the fact that when enough people are immunized, then there really can’t be an outbreak. And if there can’t be an outbreak, then everyone is protected.
This is important, because there are people who cannot be given immunizations for various reasons. For example, small babies can’t be given all vaccines. In 1995, the chicken pox(水痘) vaccine was introduced in the United States. Over time, more and more children received it. In 2011, a study looked at how the program affected the number of children who died from the disease.
The first thing noted in the paper was that death from chicken pox went down considerably after the vaccine was introduced. From 2001 through 2007, the rates of death remained much lower, with just a few children dying from chicken pox nationally each year.
What’s more from 2004 through 2007, not one child less than 1 year of age died in the United States from chicken pox.This is important, because we cannot give the chicken pox vaccine to babies. In other words, all those babies were saved not because we vaccinated them against this illness, but because older children were.
Therefore, people who refuse to vaccinate their children aren’t just putting themselves at risk—they’re putting everyone else in danger, too.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者在文中阐述了疫苗接种的重要性。
32．Whose interest did the judges take into consideration?
A．Students’．
B．School leaders’．
C．Several parents’．
D．Unvaccinated kids’．
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的a court(法庭) ruled in favor of the city schools可知，法庭支持学校，而学校不让未接种疫苗的孩子入学是为所有学生的健康着想。由此可知，法庭也是从全体学生的利益出发做出裁决的。
33. What is needed to prevent disease outbreaks through “community immunity”？
A．Requiring everyone to be immune.
B．Vaccinating babies as early as possible.
C．Making sure enough people get vaccinated.
D．Separating unvaccinated people from vaccinated.
C 解析：细节理解题。 根据第三段中的It refers to the fact that when enough people are immunized, then there really can’t be an outbreak.可知，群体免疫指大部分人因疫苗接种获得免疫力后，未接种疫苗的少数群体也能得到保护。
34．What does the study about the chicken pox vaccine show?
A．The vaccine is safe for every kid.
B．No deaths have been seen since 2004.
C．The vaccine has lowered the death rate.
D．The vaccine is more effective among babies.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的death from chicken pox went down considerably和倒数第二段中的not one child less than 1 year of age died in the United States from chicken pox可知，水痘疫苗大大降低了儿童因感染水痘而导致的死亡率。

Professional success is often judged by a lot of standards. What percentage of growth did you achieve? How many new customers were acquired? Here are a few slightly unconventional(非传统的) ways to measure success at work.
It does good to team building. Many of the most successful projects are team?based. If a project brings your team closer together and strengthens the way you work together, that’s a success. Employees who like their coworkers tend to be happier, more productive and more loyal to their employer. 36.________
It includes taking a risk. Taking a risk is crucial to your personal and professional growth. 37.________ Whether it’s stepping out of your comfort zone to expand your public speaking skills, or trying out a new piece of tech, trying something new will push you.
It makes you happy. Is there a certain part of your job you absolutely love? 38.________ Loving absolutely everything you do day?to?day is rare, but everyone should love some part of their job. Whether it’s training new employees, or interacting(互动) with customers, if you enjoy working on a project, that’s a success.
39．________ Perhaps you finally created that filing system you’d been meaning to get around to for years. Maybe you spent months planning an event and are enjoying all your work that finally comes to life. That feeling of accomplishment is a marker of success.
It makes someone’s day. 40.________ If you’ve gone above and beyond to make someone’s day, you deserve praises for that.

A．Not necessarily.
B．Those all sound like wins.
C．It increases your knowledge.
D．If there isn’t, there should be!

One possible version：
Dear__Sir/Madam，
Knowing that our library is going to buy a number of new books, I feel very happy and I’d like to give some advice.
What we need most are popular science books, which can help us understand science subjects better and develop an interest in scientific discoveries. Besides, I suggest buying more literary books. For one thing, we can read them for fun, giving our minds a break from the struggles of daily life. For another, literature opens our eyes up, since literary characters offer us immediate access to a wide range of human experiences that we might never otherwise know.
I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.
Yours__sincerely，
Li__Hua
