‎2018届二轮复习 阅读理解原创试题实战练习 ‎1‎ A The British National Health Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 and was designed to provide equal basic health care, free of charge, for everybody in the country. Before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals.‎ Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS although it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid for by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those in work. There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment.‎ Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community. ‎ As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitals—many of which were built in the nineteenth century—provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours.‎ During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the government introduced proposals for further reform of the NHS, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to compete for patients. Patients would be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and GPs would have more financial responsibility. The political questions continue of how much money should be provided to support the NHS and where it should come from.‎ ‎56. We can know from the first paragraph that ______.‎ A. the original aim of the NHS was to provide equal basic health care for everybody B. people didn’t have to pay for health care since the NHS was set up C. patients were charged for receiving health care before 1948‎ D. the NHS was an organization which gave free advice to villagers ‎57.

The green-back fell to its lowest in nearly five years against the yen the same day. ‎ By 1943 EST, the dollar was trading at US$1.3265 per euro, compared with US$1.3270 in thin late New York trade. It was at 102.55 yen, little changed from New York after touching 102.37, a level not seen since March 2000, in London. ‎ Japanese Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki repeated his warning against dollar weakness, threatening to take action against sudden moves, but market participants said such verbal intervention (口头干涉) had long lost its clout.‎ Traders were expecting market liquidity to remain thin on Friday because of the extended U.S. holiday. ‎ In such thin trading, many said a fall in the dollar past 102 yen and US$1.33 per euro was a real possibility.‎ Referring to recent currency movements as “brutal”, European Central Bank chief Jean-Claude Trichet, who is the most vocal European policymaker on dollar weakness, is due to make comments in Rio de Janeiro, along with ECB council member and Spanish central bank governor Jaime Caruana. ‎ Introduced in 1999 as the common currency for 12 European countries, the euro initially(最初) dropped against the dollar but has risen some 60 percent since hitting an all-time low of 82 U.S. cents in October 2000.‎ ‎64. What does “the green-back” refer to in the first paragraph?‎ A. U.S. dollar B. Another record C. The euro D. European currency ‎65. How did Sadakazu Tanigaki feel about dollar weakness?‎ A. Excited B. Puzzled C. worried D. Disappointed ‎66. The underlined word “brutal” probably means ______.‎ A. cruelty B. help C. criticism D. apology ‎67. According to some people, it was possible for the dollar to trade ______.‎ A. at 1.3265 per euro B. at 1.32 per euro C. at 1.3270 per euro D. at 1.331 per euro D A black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces (熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.‎ The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.‎ After the explosion gravity pulls in what’s left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and ‎ smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so dense that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.‎ The more the star shrinks, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!‎ That’s what we know about black holes. What we don’t know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.‎ But if the black hole doesn’t keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a “white hole” in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightly—somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time — many years in the past or future.‎ Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed. So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.‎ Black holes are a mystery—but that hasn’t stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earth’s energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste—a sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!‎ ‎68. When the star begins to die ______.‎ A. there is no fuel left in it B. its outer layer goes into space first C. a huge explosion will happen D. it doesn’t give off light any longer ‎69. Which of the following doesn’t help produce a black hole?‎ A. The gravity inside the star is very strong. B. The light can’t go out of the star.‎ C. The star becomes smaller and smaller D. The dying star ‎ shines very brightly. ‎ ‎70. The black hole ______.‎ A. continues becoming smaller and smaller all the time B. goes into another universe and becomes a white hole C. can pull in everything we know of in the world D. will appear at another place at a different time ‎71. What’s the best title for this passage?‎ A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes B. How Do Black Holes Come Into Being?‎ C. What Are Black Holes?‎ D. Travel Through A Black Hole E Anti-bird flu contingency (意外事故) measures, including a proposal to separate poultry from humans and a series of traffic and logistics (后勤) measures will be discussed at the Legislative Council's Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Panel meeting next month. Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food Dr York Chow says the contingency plan would come into force if an outbreak occurred near Hong Kong.‎ Speaking on a radio talk show this morning, Dr Chow said the separation of poultry from humans policy, which will be determined after a decision whether to set up a central slaughtering (屠宰) house or several regional ones, would be based on the demand for live chickens.‎ He pointed out that at present there were 30,000 live chickens imported from the Mainland and 30,000 supplied locally. If this demand persisted, there would be no central slaughtering house or wholesale point that could handle such an amount and regional slaughtering houses could be the choice.‎ He added that building of regional slaughtering houses took time, but stressed the need to study the views of the public and the sector before a final decision was made.‎ Regarding avian flu vaccination (种痘) for humans, Dr Chow said it was still being developed. He added that it may not be reliable in the case of an outbreak as records show vaccination can only offer 5% protection against a virus.‎ He said Hong Kong had more experience and expertise than neighbouring territories in the fight against viral outbreaks, and was willing to offer them help. He added there was no “boundary” for infectious diseases and close cooperation among different countries had to be maintained to fight against a possible outbreak.‎ ‎72. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.‎ A. the government is planning to take strong action to fight against bird flu B. an outbreak which happened near Hong Kong made people very frightened C. anti-bird flu contingency measures will come into use next month D. Dr York Chow will organize a meeting to discuss the contingency plan ‎73. According to the passage, the best way to fight against bird flu is to ______.‎ A. separate poultry from humans B. set up a central slaughtering house C. set up several regional slaughtering houses D. get avian flu vaccination ‎74. When the final decision will be made mainly depends on ______.‎ A. the demand for live chickens B. the views of the public C. the advice from experts D. the time when regional slaughtering houses will be finished ‎75. Which of the following statements isn’t Dr York Chow’s opinion?‎ A. Hong Kong is better at dealing with viral outbreaks than its neighbours.‎ B. Infectious diseases could happen in any country.‎ C. Other territories should ask Hong Kong for help because it has more experience.‎ D. Cooperation is quite necessary when danger is coming.‎ 参考答案 ‎56—60 CCBDD 61—65 BCDAC 66—70 ADCDC 71—75 CAABC ‎56. C 细节理解题。根据最后一句可知。建立国家保健中心的最初目的是为农村居民提供免费的基本健康护理，而不是针对所有的人，所以前两项错误。‎ ‎57. C 细节理解题。根据第4段“The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe…”可知。从第二段第一句可以看出国家保健中心由中央政府直接负责，但由地方当局管理，所以A项错误。‎ ‎58. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段话“and encouraging GPs to compete for patients”可知政府鼓励全科医生之间相互竞争，而不是让他们进行竞赛，看谁的医术高明。‎ ‎59. D 猜测词义题。前面提到医生开药方及给病人治疗牙病需要收费，再结合but一词可推断儿童、孕妇等可享受免费治疗。‎ ‎60. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知。‎ ‎61. B 细节理解题。结合第一则广告“he / she will have had at least three years’ experience…”和第二则广告“At least three years’ experience on…”可知。‎ ‎62. C 细节理解题。根据“Interviews will be arranged in the nearest city to applicant’s home.”可知。‎ ‎63. D 推理判断题。根据两则广告的联系方式可知。‎ ‎64. A 推理判断题。前面讲的是美元贬值，所以此处的green-back应该指的是美元。‎ ‎65. C 推理判断题。日本财政部长反复警告美元贬值，并威胁说要采取行动抵制突如其来的变化，由此可见他非常担心。‎ ‎66. A 猜测词义题。根据上文日本财政部长的反应及下文Jean-Claude Trichet所要采取的行动可判此项正确。‎ ‎67. D 细节理解题。根据第五段可知。‎ ‎68. C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知。‎ ‎69. D 细节理解题。D项是黑洞形成前的现象。‎ ‎70. C 根据倒数第二段“Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed.”可知。其余三项都是科学家们的猜测。‎ ‎71. C 主旨大意题。题目的选择应具有高度的概括性、强烈的针对性及一定的醒目性。首先可排除A项，因为黑洞早已不再是新鲜的话题。B、D两项只是短文的两个方面。‎ ‎72. A 推理判断题。根据预防禽流感的一系列措施可判断政府对此非常重视，正计划采取行动抵制禽流感。‎ ‎73. A 推理判断题。根据前两段的第一句话可知。‎ ‎74. B 细节理解题。第4段中提到“but stressed the need to study the views of the public…”，可见政府非常重视听取公众的意见。‎ ‎75. C 细节理解题。Dr York Chow只是说香港在处理瘟疫方面比周边地区或国家更富有经验，所以他并不是说其它地区或国家凡事都要向香港请教。‎ ‎2‎ A Tests administered（实施）to most elementary and high-school students in the United States exert（发挥）an unfavorable influence on science and math teaching， according to a new ＄1 million study performed for the National Science Foundation．And because schools with high minority enrollments（入学）generally place a greater reliance（相信）on scores from these tests， the study finds，there tends to be “a gap in instructional emphases between high and low minority classrooms that differs from our national concern for the quality of education．” ‎ George F．Madaus and his colleagues at Boston College analyzed not only the six most widely used national standardized tests， but also the tests designed to accompany（go with）the four most commonly used science and math texts in fourth-grade，eighth-grade，and high-school classrooms．Though curriculum（teaching program）experts argue that schools should place greater emphasis on problem solving and reasoning， the new study shows that the tests focus on lower-level skills—primarily mechanical memorization of routine formulas（公式）． ‎ Researchers surveyed more than 2，200 math and science instructors，interviewing in depth some 300 teachers and administrators．Especially in schools with high minority enrollments，teachers reported feeling pressured to help students perform well on these tests．Some states judge schools and some schools determine teacher assignments（工作安排）based on students' test scores． ‎ ‎“With so much worry，”Madaus says，“teachers feel forced to focus their instruction on drilling what the tests will measure—at the expense of the more valuable，higher-level skills．” ‎ ‎56．The author of this article states that ____ _ ． ‎ A．the tests don't affect teaching in most elementary and high ‎ schools ‎ B．the science and math teaching is influenced by the present tests ‎ C．no study is performed on tests for the National Science Foundation ‎ D．the United States exerts a strong influence on science and math teaching ‎ ‎57．It can be inferred that in high minority classrooms ____ _ ． ‎ A．the students can not get high score from the tests ‎ B．scores from the tests are not important ‎ C．instructional emphases are unfavourable ‎ D．teaching doesn't focus on the quality of education ‎ ‎58．According to the second paragraph，the study has discovered that ____ _ ． ‎ A．emphasis of teaching is on problem solving and reasoning ‎ B．curriculum is good for national standardized tests ‎ C．the tests mainly center around the memorization of some formulas ‎ D．routine formulas are not useful for students to memorize ‎ ‎59．According to Madaus' opinion，teachers are forced to ____ _ ． ‎ A．evaluate（评估）students' skills every year ‎ B．suffer so much worry on the texts ‎ C．teach what will be tested ‎ D．focus their instruction on useful drillings ‎ B Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour，but when you're asleep， your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in． ‎ If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ‎ ideas．You don't like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You're quite shy and you aren't very confident． ‎ If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person．You worry a lot and you're always easily upset．You're very stubborn（顽固的），but you aren't very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time． ‎ If you sleep curled up（卷曲），you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive．You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt． ‎ If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality．You know your strengths and weaknesses．You're usually careful． You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people． ‎ ‎60．According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality _____.‎ A．only in a normal night ‎ B．only when you go to sleep ‎ C．only when you refuse to show yourself to the world ‎ D．only when you change sleeping position ‎ ‎61．Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person's personality？ ‎ A．He or she is always open with others． ‎ B．He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others． ‎ C．He or she is always easily upset． ‎ D．He or she tends to believe in others． ‎ ‎62．Point out which sentence is used to show the personality of a person who is used to sleeping on his or her stomach？ ‎

happiness． ‎ ‎63．Maybe you don't want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up．Why？ ‎ A．He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you． ‎ B．He or she is rarely ready to help you． ‎ C．He or she prefers staying at home to going out． ‎ D．He or she wouldn't like to get help from you． ‎ ‎64．It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because ______ ． ‎ A．he or she always shows sympathy for people ‎ B．he or she is confident，but not stubborn ‎ C．he or she has more strengths than weaknesses ‎ D. he or she often considers annoying people ‎ C American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19. 2003. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London’s main tourist attractions.‎ Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames（泰晤士河）and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process (过程)doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.‎ A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.‎ Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.‎ In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.‎ ‎“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”‎ But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.‎ ‎65. It is _ __ for David Blaine to eat food after such a long starvation.‎ A. pleasant B. delicious C. dangerous D. important ‎66. Having spent such a long time in the glass box, he suffered the following EXCEPT that _ ___.‎ A. he had become blind B. he had serious back pains C. he lost his sense of taste D. he was in weak health ‎67. Which of the following can best describe David Blaine?‎ A. Serious B. Adventurous C. Mad D. Crazy ‎68. Which of the following is NOT true of David Blaine?‎ A. Blaine immediately went to hospital after he was taken out of his box.‎ B. Blaine was born and brought up in England.‎ C. In Blaine’s opinion, people can create a wonder. ‎ D. Blaine didn’t have any food for 44 days. ‎ D How can you find out what is going on inside a person' s body without opening the patient up? Regular X-rays can show a lot. CAT scans can show even more. They can give three-dimensional(三维) view of body organs(器官). ‎ What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for Computerized Axial Tomography(层面X线照相术). It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360 - degree picture of a small area of a patient's body. ‎ Doctors use X-rays to study and examine diseases and injuries within the body. X-rays can find foreign objects inside the body or to take pictures of some organs inside if special things as dyes or special liquids are added to the organs to be X-rayed. ‎ A CAT scanner, however, uses a beam(光束) of X-rays to give a cross-sectional view of a particular part of the body. A fine beam of X-rays is scanned across the body and circled around the patient from many different angles(角度). A computer analyzes(分析) the information from ‎ each angle and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on the screen. This picture is then photographed for later use. Several cross-sections, taken one after another, can give a clear "photo" of the entire body or of any body organs. The newest CAT scanners can even give a clear picture of active, moving organs just as a fast-action camera can "stop the action" giving clear pictures of what appear only mistily(模糊) to the eye. And because of the 360 - degree pictures, CAT scans show 3-dimensional views of organs in a manner that was once only seen during surgery or autopsy (examining a dead body). ‎ ‎69. According to the first two paragraphs, doctors can see the inside of a patient's body by ______.‎ A. giving the patient an operation ‎ B. checking body organs ‎ C. getting a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patient's body ‎ D. examining the CAT ‎ ‎70. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.‎ A. the newest pictures become more misty ‎ B. many pictures can be taken at the same time ‎ C. the information about the scanned patient is not highly valued ‎ D. some pictures of the scanned parts of the body are developed for further examinations in the future ‎ ‎71. The best title of this passage might be ______.‎ A. Modern X-ray B. Three-dimensional View ‎ C. Fast - moving Camera D. CAT Scan ‎ E The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance，attitude(态度)and manners.‎ A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident（自信的） and positive attitude.‎ When you introduce yourself， make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don’t.‎ Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit，walk，gesture，use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself?  Your abilities?  Your interest in the job? ‎ Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak， look at the interviewer. Also， don’t say negative things about yourself， or former employer. ‎ Listen to questions carefully. If you don’t understand a question， ask the interviewer to repeat or explain：‎ ‎“I’m sorry， but I didn’t catch that.”‎ ‎“I’m not sure exactly what you mean.”‎ Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They don’t expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.‎ At the end of the interview， thank the interviewer for her or his time.‎ ‎ It’s a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview， or deliver it by hand.‎ Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.‎ ‎ Good luck！‎ ‎72. It can be inferred from the passage that __ ____.‎ ‎  A. you should always put on a smile when meeting the employer ‎  B. you should stand still with respect before the employer ‎  C. the first impression is very important in an interview ‎  D. employers understand and like employees’ nervousness ‎73. Why should we pay attention to our body language? ‎ ‎  A. Because it can help us win the employer’s positive impression.‎ ‎  B. Because it can help us feel about the employer.‎ ‎  C. Because it is needed by our employer.‎ ‎  D. Because we need it to improve our feelings.‎ ‎74. The main purpose of the passage is _ _____.‎ ‎  A. to give you some advice on the art of finding a job ‎  B. to tell right from wrong about job interviews ‎  C. to explain why we should do something about an interview ‎  D. to suggest not being shy in an interview ‎75. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? ‎ ‎  A. A Friendly Smile               B. Making a Good Expression ‎  C. Don’t Be Nervous            D. Sending a Thank-You Letter 参考答案 ‎56. B。根据文中第1句 Tests … exert an unfavorable influence on science and math teaching, according to a new $ million study … 证明A、C错，并且也说明政府的政策并没有得到贯彻。‎ ‎57. D。根据第一段第2句 And because schools with high minority enrollments generally place a greater reliance on scores …. that differs from our national concern for the quality of education. 学校的指导方针对学校、学生有利，因此C不完全正确。‎ ‎58. C。根据第二段末 … tests focus on lower-level skills — primarily mechanical memorization of routine formulas. 所以去A选C。文中没涉及课程设置与考试之间的关系，B错；公式肯定应该记，但它只是手段而非目的。‎ ‎59. C。根据第四段 With so much worry, teachers feel forced to focus their attention on drilling what the tests will measure—at the expense of the more valuable, high—level skills.‎ ‎60. B。根据第一段末 The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.‎ ‎61. C。You don’t like to upset people …. 跟C有区别。‎ ‎62. C。第三段第4句You usually live for today not for tomorrow 表明，这种人目光短浅、得过且过，难有建树。‎ ‎63. A。根据第四段，此种人属于神经质内向型，很难相处。‎ ‎64.‎ ‎ B。根据第五段，此种人心理素质好，清楚地知道自己的优缺点。坚持正确的主张不是固执。‎ ‎65. C。根据He was then slowly reintroduced to food，a process doctors say could be life threatening 可知，进食对他来说是个威胁生命的过程。‎ ‎66. A。文中说at times he was unable to see,是说他有时看不见东西，但并不等于说他的眼睛瞎了。故A的说法不符合事实。‎ ‎67. B。根据buried in a coffin for one week…spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice…stood on top of a 25-meter pillar in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes 等细节描写，我们可以得出这个结论：David Blaine 喜欢冒险。‎ ‎68. B。根据A native of Brooklyn，New York 我们可以知道Blaine 是地地道道美国人。‎ ‎69. C。常规的手术、检查无法透视病人，只有外科手术、尸检、CAT技术才能让医生达到目的。CAT是技术，不是图片，因此选项D错。‎ ‎70. D。根据最后一段第4句 This picture is then photographed for later use.‎ ‎71. D。文章主要讲述的是CAT技术在医学上的使用，选项D比选项A更准确。‎ ‎72. C。面试时应显得热情一些，不能拘谨、不能过分紧张，但不能过分做作。‎ ‎73. A。根据第四段第4句 It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in.‎ ‎74. A。本文向参加面试者提出一些忠告及建议，但也不能说这些做法对，而别的做法是错的。‎ ‎75. B。文章讲，在面试时如何在言行、举止上给对方留下好印象；选项A、C、D仅是其中的一些措施。‎ ‎3‎ A ‎ YOU don’t need millions to be happy. In fact, at The Happiness Institute in Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough.‎ ‎ The institute opened its doors last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages have been paying A$200 an hour (US$140) for lessons on how to feel great.‎ ‎ “You can actually increase your happiness levels. That’s what we teach,” said Timothy Sharp, founder of the institute.‎ ‎ Experts say that only about 15 per cent of happiness comes from income, assets and other financial factors. As much as 85 per cent comes from ‎ things such as attitude, life control and relationships.‎ ‎ Most of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven’t changed to reflect that.‎ ‎ Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happiness.‎ ‎ Many decades ago, the “sage of Baltimore, Maryland”, editor HL Mencken, defined wealth as earning US$100 more than your “wife’s sister’s husband.”‎ ‎ Behavioral economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is because we compare ourselves to people better off materially.‎ ‎ “The argument is that if you want to be happy there’s a very simple thing you can do: Compare yourself to people who are less well off than you — poorer, smaller house, car,” said Sharp.‎ ‎ The Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by focusing on “more than just your bank account.”‎ ‎ “If I compare myself to Bill Gates then I’m always going to be down,” said Sharp. ‎ ‎ A better thing to compare with, he said, might be Kerry Packer, Australia’s richest person who has had a kidney transplant and heart surgery in recent years.‎ ‎56. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. You can increase your happiness levels by attending the classes at the Happiness Institute.‎ ‎ B. Most of us are happier than our parents or grandparents since we earn more.‎ ‎ C. Earning US$ 100 more than your wife’s sister’s husband if you want to be happy.‎ ‎ D. Both Bill Gates and Kerry Packer are examples of those who are extremely rich but obviously unhappy.‎ ‎57. The underlined phrase has the same meaning as the word _______.‎ ‎ A. healthy B. unhealthy C. free D. wealthy ‎58. The author wrote the passage to tell us _______.‎ ‎ A. happiness is everything ‎ B. wealth is the foundation of happiness ‎ C. have fun at the Happiness Institute ‎ ‎ D. money doesn’t always mean happiness ‎ B Many people in the United States like eggs for breakfast.

Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.‎ Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.‎ ‎63. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.‎ ‎ A. as slowly as possible B. in a low voice C. loudly D. forcefully ‎64. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.‎ ‎ A. noisy B. quiet C. having a rest D. serious ‎65.

If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is____.‎ ‎ A. to show your ability B. to be very gentle ‎ C. to make sure that you can be heard D. to put the official at ease ‎67. The main idea of this passage is _______.‎ A. that we should talk in different ways in different situations B. that we must speak loudly C. that we must keep silent at any time D. that we must talk with the class D ‎ The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.‎ ‎ She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”‎ ‎ I laughed and enthusiastically（热情地）responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.‎ ‎ “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”‎ ‎ “No seriously,” I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.‎ ‎ “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.‎ ‎ Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.‎ ‎ At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.‎ ‎ “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor everyday. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.‎ ‎ “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.‎ ‎ “The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.‎ ‎ Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”‎ ‎ She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌词）and live them out in our daily lives.‎ ‎ At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.‎ ‎68. Rose made herself known to the author in a ______ manner.‎ ‎ A. serious B. cold C. humorous D. crazy ‎69.

They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground -- using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie under the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.‎ ‎ This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.‎ ‎ At Watson Bar Creek, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes andtested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.‎ ‎ Study of the roots, branches and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amount of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.‎ ‎ If the trees indicated that there was no gold in the ground, the scientists wouldn't spare money to pay for digging into the ground.‎ ‎56.

The writing section will consist of two parts: an essay and a multiple-choice section. Students will be given 25 minutes to respond to a prompt (提示) and construct a well-organized essay that effectively deals with the task. The essay question may require students to complete a statement, to react to a quote, or to agree or disagree with a point of view. In any case, a good essay will support the chosen position with specific reasons and examples from literature, history, art, science, current affairs, or even a student's own experiences.‎ Essays will be scored based on the procedures for the current SAT II: Writing Test. Essays will be graded by two independent readers On a scale of 1～6, and their two scores will be combined to form an essay subscore that ranges from 2 to 12. Should the readers' scores vary by more than 2 points, a third reader will score the essay; The readers will be high school teachers and college professors who teach composition. To ensure that essays will be scored in a timely manner, they will be scanned and made available to readers on the Internet for grading purpose.‎ The writing section will also include multiple-choice grammar and usage questions. Some of these questions will call upon students to ‎ improve given sentences and paragraphs. Others will present students with sentences and require them to identify mistakes in diction (措辞), grammar, sentence construction, subject-verb agreement, proper word usage.‎ The highest possible score on the new writing section will be 800. Scores on the essay and multiple-choice section will be combined to produce a single score. A writing subscore will also be assigned.

If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is controlled.‎ ‎ Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration (脱水) is to put food in chambers (室) through which hot air is blown at temperature of about ll0'C at entry to about 43'C at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish.‎ ‎ Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder (圆筒), then put them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first process, the dried material comes off the roller (滚筒) as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively flakes (薄片). In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as small powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients (成分) are dried separately and then mixed.‎ ‎ Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.‎ ‎67. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.‎ ‎ A. the rattier fish contain as much water as the lean one ‎ B. the rattier the fish is, the more water it may contain ‎ C. a fatty fish holds less water than a lean one ‎ D. the water content of fish has nothing to do with the content of their fat ‎68. The underlined word "conventional" in Paragraph 3 can most probably be replaced by _________.‎ ‎ A. particular B. scientific C. usual D. special ‎69. Which of the following statements is NOT true about drying food?‎ ‎ A. The removal of water in food helps prevent it from going rotten.‎ ‎ B. The open-air method of drying food has been known for hundreds of years.‎ ‎ C. In the course of dehydration, the temperature of hot current coming from entry to exit is gradually going up.‎ ‎ D. The process of drying liquids is much more complex than that of drying solid food.‎ ‎70. The last paragraph mainly talks about __________.‎ ‎ A. the reason why housewives like dried food ‎ B. the general convenience of dried food ‎ C. the methods of storing food ‎ D. the advantages of dried, canned and frozen food E ‎ In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.‎ ‎ Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.‎ ‎ As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.‎ ‎ A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.‎ ‎71. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills, ___________.‎ ‎ A. should be avoided ‎ B. is universal among parents ‎ C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child ‎ D. will make the child lose interest in learning new things ‎72. In the process of children's learning new skills, parents ________.‎ ‎ A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read ‎ B. should expect a lot of the children ‎ C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own ‎ D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible ‎73. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ___________.‎ ‎ A. parents should be strict with their children ‎ B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community ‎ C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone ‎ D. it's parents' and society's duty to control the children ‎74. The word "precept" in Paragraph 3 probably means "___________".‎ ‎ A. opinion B. punishment C. behavior D. instruction ‎75. In terms of moral matters, parents should _________.‎ ‎ A. follow the rules themselves ‎ B. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children ‎ C. forbid their children to follow hook teachings ‎ D. always ensure the security of their children 参考答案 ‎56．D 推理判断题。科学家的最终目的是寻找地下矿物，而且文章中提到的metal，gold，silver，uranium都属于minerals的范畴，故选D。‎ ‎57．C 推理判断题。答此题的关键在于理解文章第五段最后一句话The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold thant those growing on the ends of the branches，这句话指出，长得离树干最近的种子比长在树枝末端的种子的含金量高，故可推断出，种子离树干越近，含金量就越高，因此选C。‎ ‎58．A 细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知，只有leaves没有提到，故选A。‎ ‎59．D 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了探测矿藏韵一种新方法，故选D。文章并没介绍一种特殊的探矿设备，故不选A。‎ ‎60．A 细节理解题。根据第1则广告即Malan Flower可知，音乐剧《马兰花》取材于神话故事，故选A。‎ ‎61．C 细节理解题。通读第3则广告即Tour of love可知这则广告是关于著名歌星陶姞的演。唱会的，故选C。‎ ‎62．D 主旨大意题。可用排除法。4篇短文系一些演出或展览活动的列表／清单，故选D。‎ ‎63．A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句可得知，美国改革后的SAT考试的写作部分包括两部分，即短文写作和多项选择题。随后，作者介绍了短文写作和多项选择题的具体考试内容和要求。‎ ‎64.

C 词义推澜题。作者在文章第三段介绍完conventional method后，说过这种方法为usual method，可推断出这里的conventional与usual同义，故选C。conventional：“常规的，通常的”。 ‎ ‎69．C 细节理解题。从文章第三段第二句可知C不正确，温度不是不断升高，而是从110℃降到43℃．可从第一段判断A，B两项正确，D项可从第三段与第四段的内容相比较而得出，前者介绍的工序简单。后者复杂．‎ ‎70．B 主旨大意题。最后一段主要讲dried food在包装、存储上的优点，也就是它的方便之处，这与B项中的convenience相对应。A项仅是此段讨论的一部分，C项说的是储存方法，和脱水食物易于存储是两码事。‎ ‎71．B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段开头In bringing up children，every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都会这样做，那么这种做法在父母中就是普遍的，故选B。根据文章第一段第二句，选项C。sets up dangerous states of worry in the child是由hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate引起的，“迫不及待地要求孩子做超出其自然成长速度的事情”和“热切地观察孩子学会每一项新技能”显然不是一回事，作者对后者没有否定之意，所以A不对。根据文章第一段末句，选项取D。will make him lose interest in learning new things是由a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities引起的。故D也不合文意。‎ ‎72．C 推理判断题。文章第一段第二句It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate，but this can set Up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child，说明在孩于成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。文章第一段末句又说：On the other hand，though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself，说明对孩子太放任自流同样不利。根据这两方面，应选C，父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰当的度。‎ ‎73．C 主旨大意题。文章第二段的大意是:“父母对孩子的严格程度有很大的不同”。‎ ‎74．D 词义推测题．四个选项的意思分别是：A. opinion(观点)；B. punishment(惩罚)；C. bebaviour(行为)；D．instruction(说教，源于instruct)。根据文章第三段第三，四句Also，parents should realize that“example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach(说教)…可以推测，precept应表达与example对立的意思，且与preach是同义词，引语的意思是“榜样比说教更有力”，故选项D为最佳选项。‎ ‎75．A ‎ ‎ 推理判断题．根据文章第三段第四句，再根据文章最后一段，可以得出结论，关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循，(参见上一小题之解析)，故选A。‎ ‎5‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 A In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately (私人地) owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.‎ ‎ Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping your name before the public”. And some people thought that advertising was “truth well told”. Now more and more people consider it in this way: Advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive presentation of goods, services and ideas by some certain sponsors (赞助商) through various media.‎ ‎ First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in fact, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it asks people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can benefit them. Fourth, the sponsors of the advertisement must show their names. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or a single person. Fifth, advertising reaches us through old and modern mass media. Included in the old media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Modern media include emails, matchbox covers, and boards on top of buildings.‎ ‎56. The existence of the privately owned mass media depends on the support of________.‎ A. the government B. their owners families C. advertisements D. the TV stations ‎57. The passage seems to say that different ideas of advertising are given due to ________.‎ A. the change of time B. the subject of the advertisements C. people’s age difference D. people’s different opinions ‎58. Which of the following is considered modern mass media? ________.‎ A. Newspapers B. Emails C. Magazines D. Films ‎59. According to the passage, which of the following statements about advertisements is NOT true?‎ A. The sponsors are always mentioned.‎ B. Advertising must be honest and humorous.‎ C. There is the description of things advertised.‎ D. Advertising is meant for large groups of people.‎ B New York’s streets were covered by people dressed in elephant costumes (服装) and others waving anti-war posters with pictures of US President George W. Bush on them last week. But this was no carnival (狂欢节) — it was the Republican Party’s National Convention (共和党全国大会), which attracted thousands of protestors (抗议者). It was the largest protest ever at a US political convention, with at least 120,000 people marching through Manhattan on August 29. They demanded that the US leave Iraq and a new president be chosen.‎ The Republicans say the opposition — Democrat Party (民主党) encouraged the people on to the streets. They believe it is a Democratic move to help win presidential election, to be held on November 2. The election is described as "the decisive battle between donkey and elephant". The two animals are the symbols of the two major political parties in the US. The elephant represents (象征) the Republicans, whose candidate (候选人), President George W. Bush, is trying to defeat the donkey to win his second term. The donkey represents the Democrats, whose candidate, John Kerry, is trying to kick the elephant out of the White House.‎ Republicans think the elephant is powerful and clever, but the Democrats argue it is stupid and conservative (守旧的). In return, the Republicans regard the donkey as stubborn (倔强的) and silly but the Democrats say it is humble, plain, smart and courageous. ‎ The Republicans have been sending emails to Bush supporters and journalists with the header, "An Elephant Never Forgets", said party ‎ spokeswoman Heather Layman. Elephants are known for their long memories. The emails suggest that Bush will keep his promises, while Kerry will not stick to his words. ‎ It is interesting that both symbols were created by a single person, Thomas Nast, a famous political cartoonist of the late 19th century. During the election in 1874, Nast drew a cartoon, in which a donkey in a lion’s skin frightened an elephant marked "Republican".‎ ‎60. In the passage, the donkey stands for _______ . ‎ A. the White House B. the Republicans ‎ C. the Democrats D. John Kerry ‎61. What does "kick the elephant out of the White House" mean?‎ A. Drive the animal out of the White House. ‎ B. Drive President Bush out of power.‎ C. Keep the elephant out of the White House. ‎ D. Insist on Bush’s being elected.‎ ‎62. In the eyes of the Republicans, the donkey is considered as _______ . ‎ A. clever B. foolish C. polite D. brave ‎63. Which of the following in NOT true?‎ A. The same artist created the two symbols. ‎ B. The emails suggest Kerry will not carry out his promises. ‎ C. "An Elephant Never Forgets" means that an elephant has a good memory. ‎ D. John Kerry is a Democrat. ‎ C Gene technology to benefit people Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.‎ The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. ‎ But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged. ‎ Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.‎ Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology. ‎ ‎64. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to? ‎ A. gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.‎ B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease D. Hereditary diseases and cancer ‎65. What's the main idea of the third paragraph?‎ A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.‎ B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.‎ C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.‎ D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out ‎66.In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?‎ A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.‎ B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.‎ C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.‎ D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.‎ ‎67.What is the main purpose of writing this passage?‎ A. Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people B. Telling people the advantages of gene technology C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity ‎ D ‎ International Studies (BA)‎ ‎ Key features ‎ ● Recognizes the “global community”（国际社会）‎ ‎ ● Has close connections with practical research ‎ ● Much of the teaching is done in small discussion groups ‎ About the course ‎ The course gives you chances to know great power polities between nation states.

To get to the other side.‎ ‎ Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear (灰熊) and mountain lion can cross the road.‎ ‎ “Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill. ‎ ‎ “Ecopassages(生态通道)” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.‎ ‎ But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.‎ Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders (火蜥蜴) and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.‎ ‎ The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!‎ ‎72.

Influenza is sometimes called “flu”or a “bad cold”. He took samples from the throats of patients in his hospital and was able to find the virus（病毒）of this influenza.‎ There are three main types of influenza virus. The most important of these are types A and B, each of them having several sub-groups（亚群）. At the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was because of a virus group A, but he did not know the sub-group. He reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. W. H. O. published the important news together with reports of the same kind of outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15％～20％ of the population had become ill.‎ As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, they began to test them. They found that they could reproduce themselves at a very high speed. Continuing their careful tests, the doctor checked the effect of medicine used against all the known sub-groups of type A virus. On this virus, none of them was of any use.‎ Having separated the virus, the two doctors now made tests on some selected seleceted animals. In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments showed that the new virus spread easily, but that it was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, called it simply “Asian flu”.‎ ‎72.
