be around cats and dogs. but these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens（过敏原）, prompting researchers to ask: are cats and dogs really safe for children？a study finds that, contrary to many parents fears, owning cats or dogs does not increase a childs risk of developing allergies, and in fact, may actually protect them. the studys lead author, dr. dennic ownby of the medical college of georgia, says that even he was “very surprised” by the results. ownby and colleagues followed more than 470 children from birth to age 6 or 7, comparing those exposed to cats and dogs during their first year of life to those who were not.by using skin-prick(刺) tests for detecting common allergies, the researchers found that, contrary to what many doctors had been taught for years, children who had lived with a pet were not at greater risk.even more remarkable, children who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction, up to 77 percent, in risk of allergies. researchers suggest this protective effect may be the result of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats. exposing young children to these bacteria helps exercise their immune systems early in life so that theyre better able to resist allergic diseases later.theres something very important in that first year of life when the immune system is developing that we can retrain it away from an allergic response, said dr. william davis. and while researchers are not encouraging parents to buy dogs or cats just to reduce a childs allergy risk, they say if a family already has one or more animals, theres no need to get rid of them. 【小题1】 why do the researchers feel “very surprised” by the results of the study?abecause the results are contrary to their expectationbbecause so many children are playing with cats and dogscbecause parents are so much worried about their childrendbecause children with animals may develop allergies easily【小题2】 compared with children who have pets，those who havent _.awill lose the chance to develop immune system bmay suffer allergic diseases more oftencwill reduce the harm from bacteria dcan keep doctors away【小题3】 it can be inferred from the passage that _apets are ill-treated by their owners bless families would like to own cats and dogsckeeping pets is a good way to keep children healthydthe results of the study can make families with pets feel at ease【小题4】 the underlined word “it” in the fifth paragraph refers to_.athe early life ban allergic disease cimmune system dsomething important【小题5】 what may be the best title of the passage?ahow to protect your kids from allergies byour pets may be helping your kidscbacteria do good to your kids dadvantages of owning pets【答案】【小题1】a【小题2】b【小题3】d【小题4】c【小题5】b答案往往是文章中的高频词。考点：考查新闻类短文阅读 b most students try to learn english grammar using grammar textbooks. they study grammar rules and take grammar tests. they use an analytical（分析的） approach, attempting to memorize, and then apply, a great number of rules. however, research has proved this method inefficient and ineffective. the truth is, the human brain simply cannot consciously remember process and use hundreds of or thousands of grammar rules. real speech is too fast. native speakers do not learn grammar in this way, but rather intuitively (凭直觉地) and unconsciously. they learn in a complete way, not by attempting to memorize individual grammar rules. as a result, native speakers use correct grammar fluently and easily. fortunately, it is possible for english learners to learn grammar this way. language teacher blaine ray has developed a unique intuitive approach to teach english grammar. her system uses point of view stories to teach the patterns of english grammar, allowing students unconsciously to acquire correct grammar without ever studying grammar rules. in this system, the teacher first tells a simple story from one point of view. it may be told about the past, then repeated, but beginning with since he was a child; then repeated again, but this time about the future. listening to these stories allows students intuitively and effortlessly to learn english grammar and makes them be able to use it correctly when they speak. point of view stories is a creative new way to study english grammar, and offers hope to millions of frustrated english learners.【小题1】 which of the following ways is approved by the author? a. remembering grammar rules. b. taking grammar tests.c. analyzing grammatical structure. d. applying language to situations.【小题2】 what does the underlined part this way in

teacher.【小题3】from this passage we learn that _.a. native speakers learn english grammar by listening to stories b. blaine rays method gets students to grasp correct grammar unconsciouslyc. blaine ray teaches grammar rules by asking students to tell storiesd. its hard for students to speak correct english in the new system【小题4】this passage wants to _. a. criticize the traditional way of learning grammarb. introduce a new way to study english grammar c. ask students to learn english grammar by listening to storiesd. tell us how the native speakers learn english grammar【小题5】why shouldnt the english learners use an analytical approach? a. because the analytical approach can let them learn english grammar effortlesslyb. because the analytical approach makes them be able to use english correctly when they speak.c. because the analytical approach cant let them memorize and then apply a great number of rules.d. because real speech is too fast.c when a first-time father saw his newborn son, he immediately noticedthe babys ears obviously standing out from his head. he expressed hisconcern to the nurse that some children might tease his child. a doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dadthat his son was healthy- the ears presented only a minor problem with its appearance. but the nervous father persisted. he wondered if the child might sufferpsychological effects of ridicule（嘲笑）, or if they should consider plastic surgery（整形手术）. the nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should justwait to see if the boy grows into his ears.the father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now heworried about his wifes reaction to those large ears. she had beendelivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child.“she doesnt take things as easily as i do,” he said to the nurse.by this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready tomeet her new baby. the nurse went along with the dad to lend some supportin case this inexperienced mother became upset about her babys large ears.the baby was in a receiving blanket with his head covered forthe short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor(走廊）. the baby wasplaced in his mothers arms, who eased the blanket back so that she couldlook at her child for the first time.she took one look at her babys face and looked to her husband and gasped(喘气说）,“oh, honey! look! he has your ears!”no problem with mom. she married those ears.and she loves the man towhom they are attached.the poet kahlil gibran said, “beauty is not in the face; beauty is a lightin
