Each passage is followed with five suggested questions. Choose the one that you think is the best.Passage 1Questions 51-55 are based on the following passageGot the sniffles? Youre not alone. The common cold will strike in the United States more than 61 million times this year. Thats a lot of stuffy noses, sore throats, and coughs. Youd think scientists would have found a cure by now. For being so common, however, a cold is quite complex.A cold is caused by a virus. And its not just one type of virus. More than 200 viruses cause colds. A cold virus attacks healthy cells of the nose, throat, or lungs. The virus gets into the cells and takes control. A single virus makes hundreds or thousands of cold viruses inside each cell. Eventually, the cell bursts open and dies. The viruses, though, escape and attack other healthy cells. By now youre sneezing and coughing. Your throat is sore. The viruses keep infecting your healthy cells.Only your body can fight cold viruses. Billions of white blood cells travel in the blood. White blood cells make antibodies. These proteins attach themselves to viruses and destroy them. Its a slow process. Killing the viruses takes one to two weeks.What can you do to fight a cold? There isnt much you can do. Antibiotic drugs dont work against viruses. Nose drops and cough medicines only relieve symptoms. Chicken soup seems to help. Vitamin C may help too. A dose of 1000 milligrams of Vitamin C on the first day of a cold may quicken your recovery. Be healthy and you may not catch a cold at all. Eat a well-balanced diet and get eight hours of sleep each day. Exercise regularly. The cold virus spreads through the air, so stay away from coughing, sneezing people. Also, the cold virus can live up the three hours outside the body. That means you can pick it up from touching money, doorknobs, and other people. So wash your hands often. Prevention is the best action!51. This passage is mainly concerned with _.A. antibodiesB. virusesC. antibioticsD. common colds52. The common cold is started by _.A. a low white-blood cell countB. a virusC. a poor dietD. shaking hands with other people53. We can conclude from this passage that the common cold _.A. will be curable in the near futureB. causes fatigue and watery eyesC. is something people just have to live withD. can be prevented with nose drops54. In the second and third paragraphs, the author explains the working of a cold virus through _.A. a step-by-step explanationB. scientific studiesC. detailed word picturesD. a list of symptoms55. Antibodies are _.A. proteins that attack virusesB. white blood cellsC. drugs that fight virusesD. vitaminsPassage 2Question 56-60 are based on the following passageLife really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the worlds top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject, “The Privileged Ones,” and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work prospects. But most important is the quality of family life. Money cant buy love.”It can buy a lot of other things, however; and thats where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.” The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. “However, they will have a sense of isolation,” warns Dr. Coles, “and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.” Todays wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.56. In his book “The Privileged Ones”, Dr. Coles implies that .A. there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor familyB. rich children live a life of separation from the worldC. rich children usually enjoy more love than poor childrenD. the quality of rich childrens family life may not be high57.

Rich children tend to feel isolated.D. Rich children are hardly given too many material things.59. According to the author of the passage, .A. life is really a long journey of joy for rich childrenB. the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the pr
