湖北省随州市2014高考英语阅读理解、短文改错训练（14）（答案或解析）“in only six days i lost seven pounds of weight.”“two full inches in the first three days ！”these are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper，radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. the promoters of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles，or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. the results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.to understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. if the product is a drug, fda ( food and drug administration) can require proof(证明) under the food, drug, and cosmetic act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. but if the product is a device，fda has no authority to require pre-marketing proof of safety or effectiveness. if a product already on the market is a danger to health, fda can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.one notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. the relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. fda took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the devices on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. before buying, it is up to judge the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.语篇解读一些所谓的塑身、健美、美容的商品广告，商家和促销商仅仅是为了挣钱，而实际的结果令人怀疑，有些还有害于健康。事实证明，许多投放在市场上的医疗设备并不受法律约束，在购买前消费者要自己判断它们的安全和效果。1. it can be inferred that the

packed up our stuff and moved across the country to settle into our new home. once there i was worried about the lack of extended family and thought i would miss the convenience of having relatives nearby. my aunt explained to my children (and myself) that there are many different kinds of family and not all of them have two parents in the home. i didnt think too much of this speech, being rather shell-shocked after the divorce, but her words stuck with me. it wasnt too long after we settled in that friends and neighbors began to come over to meet us and extend invitations for outings. many single ladies lived in this particular locale and were very loving and affectionate with my school-aged children. after they got to know the kids better we began to get calls: can i borrow your kids? i want to go to the circus and want to take them! i am going fossil hunting with my geology group: would your son like to come along? i am going hiking. can i take your kids? how would your kids like to learn how to drive a mule? and, on and on it went like that. not only did my children benefit from the outings by learning new things, they learned manners, geology, ecology, respect for animals and too many good things to mention. our neighbors enjoyed the contact with the young folks, too. my daughter, now grown and with a child of her own, mentioned to me a few days ago how much she enjoyed the outings with our extended family while growing up. my son still recalls going fossil hunting years ago and still talks about it! we are still friends with all these neighbors although we are all older. now that my own kids are grown up i find myself looking around the neighborhood myself for families with young children. i might want to go looking for frogs and turtles by the creek . or maybe the circus . and, i might just say: can i borrow your kids?41. upon arrival, why did the aunt explain something to the writers children?a. to comfort her b. to ease her painc. to point out a phenomenon d. to discuss problems with her42. the underlined word in para 2 is closest in meaning to .a. ashamedb. exhausted c. thrilled d. stressed43. the quotes(引用) in para 4 intend to tell us that .a. people in the new neighborhood are loving and affectionateb. people in the new neighborhood like children very muchc. therere a lot of activities in the new neighborhoodd. people in the new neighborhood live in harmony44. now the writers children still recall the outings with extended family because of the following reasons except .a. they benefited a lot from the outingsb. they enjoyed their stay with friendly neighborsc. they learn many good thingsd. theyre still friends with all these neighbors45. which do you think is the best title of the passage?a. after divorce b. living with extended familyc. can i borrow your kids d. making friends with neighbors参考答案-41-45 a b a d c *结束the common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths(神话，想象) about it than any of the other illnesses.the most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by coldthey are notthey are caused by viruses passing on from person to personyou catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has oneif cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the eskimos to suffer from them foreverbut they do notand in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanesat the common cold research unit in england, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of timeafter taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping（滴干） wet in drafty（通风的） roomssome wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustionnot one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his noseif cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? in spite of the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answerone explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed onno one has yet found a cure for the coldthere are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms44the fact that the eskimos dont suffer colds shows that .acolds are really full of mythsbviruses are the factors causing coldsccolds are more severe than other illnessesdthe idea that cold leads to colds doesnt stand up45the experiments mentioned in paragraph 3 made it clear that .abeing doused with cold water did harm to ones bodybtaking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tiredcit was viruses not wet and cold that made people have coldsdpeople who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily46according to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because .athere is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperaturebviruses can go into peoples warm bodies more easily in wintercstaying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass ondpeople are usually
