directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. if cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the eskimos to suffer from them forever. but they do not. and in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported people are free from colds until they come into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mails dropped from airplanes. during the first world war soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches（战壕）, cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. in the second world war prisoners at the auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. at 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 time. after taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in a drafty（通风良好的）room. some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.if, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter？despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. one 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 on. 31. the writer offered _ examples to support his argument. a. 4 b. 5 c. 6 d. 7【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据根据由第 2 段的两个例子、第 3 段的 1 个例子和第 4 段的两个例子可知 b 为正确选项。32. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the eskimos suffer from colds from time to time. b. colds are not always caused by cold. c. people suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.d. a person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.【答案】d 【解析】细节理解题。根据根据 one 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 on 可知人们得感冒不是因为喜欢呆在家里，而是因为经常呆在一起病毒更容易感染，故选 d。33. arctic explorers may catch colds when they are _.a. working in the isolated arctic regionsb. writing reports in terribly cold weatherc. free from work in the isolated arctic regionsd. coming into touch again with the outside world【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。根据and in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds

common colds【答案】c【解析】主旨大意题。根据阅读全文可知本文首先用大量事例从不同的侧面分析感冒不是由寒冷引起的，最后提出冬天得感冒的可能原因。由此可知 c 为正确答案。 影评类(1)since the beginning of winter break, i have been committed to doing lots of the things i could not do while school was in session. one of the oscar-nominated (提名的) movies ive seen this winter break is slum-dog millionaire. hopefully readers will also have an opportunity to enjoy the movie the way i have halfway around the globe! slum-dog millionaire is about a poor boy from the slums (贫民窟), jamal, who ends up winning the grand prize in an indian show “who wants to be a millionaire”. the night before he answers the prize-winning question, jamal is captured by the police and tortured (拷打). they dont believe a slumdog like jamal could answer seven questions correctly and possibly win 20 million rupees (卢比)! but, as the movie unfolds, jamal reveals (透露) how he found the answers to each of the questions. viewers also learn about jamals childhood, his selfish older brother salim, and his childhood lover, latika. the movies point, however, is not just to tell a typical story of the underdog (弱者) who becomes a hero. the director also uses slum-dog millionaire to give viewers a taste of india. the movie begins in jamals childhood home in the slums of india. the place where he and his family lived reminds one of the hutongs that used to make up a large part of old beijing. jamal and his brother grow and travel across india, meanwhile surviving as slum-dogs and cheaters, and india ages with them. by the time jamal is 17 or 18, his old home has been replaced by a giant skyscraper (摩天大楼) financial center. jamal and salim take a moment to reminisce (回忆) about their old lives, as they stand high up in a skyscraper that is still under construction. the view from above reminded me of a similar view i had just two years ago in china: i was standing there in the living room of a family friends modern apartment, looking out through a window down to the shacks (简陋的房屋) below just next to the building complex. it was amazing how affluence and poverty could live so close together. so, what was most appealing about the movie to me and my indian friends was how we could relate to the scenarios (情节) presented in the movie. more important than the plot was the window onto the social and economic situations in asia that it provided.by jennifer, 16, new jersey, us1.
