2013高考英语重庆八中二轮阅读理解精选训练（17）及答案 astudents who want to study in the united states may find that their chances for financial aid are limited. they often have to pay for their education with their own savings or their familys money. a recent report from the institute of international education in new york looked at 2008-2009 school year. colleges and universities in the united states had more than half a million foreign students. 63% of them paid for school mostly by themselves or with family help. 26% percent were supported by the school they attended.there are other sources of financial aid for international students. these include a students home government or university, or the united states government. private sponsors, international organizations and employers may also provide support. yet during the last school year, not many students were able to depend on any of these other sources. current employers provided the most help. still, they represented the main support for just four percent of international students.those at the graduate level, however, are more likely than undergraduates to receive financial aid in the united states. more than 80% percent of foreign undergraduates depended mostly on personal and family money to pay for school last year. the same was true of less than half of graduate students. most of the others received financial aid from their college or university in the united states. a list of american schools that offer financial aid to foreign students can be found at a useful web site. the address is . this site also provides

guinness book of records says that mosquitoes have caused over 50 per cent of all human deaths since the stone age , excluding deaths from war and accidents ! mosquitoes are found all over the world . female mosquitoes usually feed on the blood of humans and animals . mosquitoes often carry dangerous disease called malaria , which usually occurs during hot , rainy season .if a mosquito feed on the blood of a person with malaria , it becomes a carrier of the disease . it injects the disease into the next person it bites . so , for example , a tourist could be infected with malaria during a visit to indonesia . the same tourist might then visit thailand where another mosquito may bite him . this mosquito could then bite another person and spread the disease .people have used insecticides to kill mosquitoes and their eggs for a long time , but many insects are now resitant to these chemicals . this resistance is a big problem for doctors because it can stop the prevention and treatment of malaria . also , several of the drugs which doctors use to prevent malaria do not work anymore because mosquitoes are resistant to them . experts now believe that the world will never be free of malaria , so they tell people to protect themselves from the disease .if you think that you have malaria, see a doctor immediately . without treatment , malaria kills over 25 per cent of its victims in a maximum of two weeks . after treatment , mosquitoes that bite you will not pass malaria on to other people . although doctors can treat malaria victims , you must remember ;prevention is better than cure .64according to the guinness book of records, which of the following causes most deaths? awar. baccident. cmalaria . dmosquitoes.65we could draw the conclusion that the best way of fighting against the spread of malaria is_.aprevention btreatment cseeing a doctor immediately dblood test 66which of the following statements is true according to the passage? awe will surely get rid of mosquitoes in the near future. bits believed that malaria will accompany human beings forever . cinsecticides are always effective in killing mosquitoes . da mosquito can not pass the disease on to another person after it bites one with malaria .dtwo elderly women in my community died full of years, which means both died from the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. their homes happened to be near each other, so i paid visits to the two families. the son of one of the deceased women said to me, if only i had sent my mother to florida and got her out of this cold, she would be alive today. the son of the other deceased woman said, if only i hadnt insisted on my mothers going to florida, she would be alive today. that long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. when things dont turn out as we would like them to, it is very likely for us to think that if we had done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. there seem to be two elements in our readiness to feel guilty. the first is our pressing need to believe thatthe world makes senseand that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. that leads us to try to find the patterns and connections. the second element is the notionthat we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. psychologists trace this feeling back to our childhood. a baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. the world works for him. when he cries, someone comes to attend to him. when he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. very often, we do not completely outgrow the notion that our wishes cause things to happen.67. what is said about the two deceased elderly women? a. they died due to lack of care by family members. b. they lived
