worried about the possibility of a coming bird flu epidemic,you can take comfort in the fact that humanity has survived a similar influenza epidemic in the past.Starting its rounds at the end of World War I,the 1918 flu killed an estimated 50 million people.Popularly known as the Spanish Flu,this type of influenza was far worse than your common cold.Normally,influenza only kills those who are more vulnerable to disease,such as newborns,the old or the sick.However,the Spanish Flu was prone to killing the young and healthy.Often it would disable its victims in hours;within a day,they would be dead,typically from extreme cases of pneumonia（肺炎）.The Spanish Flu was quite nasty-fast-spreading and deadly.It managed to spread across the globe,devastating the world.Then suddenly,after two years ravaging（蹂躏）the Earth,it disappeared as quickly as it had arisen.Despite its nickname,the Spanish Flu did not originate in Spain.Its true origins are unknown.Some believe it started in US forts and then spread to Europe as America joined the war;others think that it populated the trenches of the English and the French and eventually broke out in 1918.Regardless of where it started,eventually a fifth of the world population suffered the disease,with a global mortality rate（死亡率）estimated at 2.5% of the population.Modernity was partly to blame for the quick spread of the disease.It passed throughout the world on trade routes and shipping lines.It hit Northern America,Europe,Asia,Africa and the South Pacific.The war did not help at all-the movement of supplies and troops aided the spread of the Spanish Flu,as well as the trench warfare.Imagine the speed at which a virus can spread in a crowded ditch.The fast emergence of the virus in the trenches caused some soldiers to believe that the Spanish Flu was a new form of biological warfare.Luckily,the Spanish Flu simply vanished by 1920.It is believed the flu simply ran out of fuel to spread.16.The Spanish Flu started during World War I.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned17.The Spanish Flu posed a greater threat to the old and the sick.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned18.As the Spanish Flu was spreading,people in Australia were worried.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned19.The Spanish Flu disappeared two years after it broke out.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned20.The Spanish Flu was named after the place where it started.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned21.About half of the people in the world suffered from the Spanish Flu.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned22.Biological warfare originated in the 20th century.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意与完成句子（第2330题，每题1分，共8分）下面的短文后有2项测试任务：（1）第2326题要求从所给的6个选项中为第25段每段选择1个最佳标题；（2）第2730题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。Facts about Stroke1Every 45 seconds,someone in America has a stroke.Every 3.1 minutes,someone dies of one.Stroke killed an estimated 167,661 people in 2000 and is the nations third leading cause of death,ranking behind diseases of the heart and all forms of cancer.Stroke is a leading cause of serious,long-term disability in the United States.2Stroke is a type of cardiovascular（心血管的）disease.It affects the arteries（动脉）leading to and within the brain.A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients（营养物）to the brain is either blocked by a clot（凝块）or bursts.When that happens,part of the brain cannot get the blood（and oxygen）it needs,so it starts to die.3The brain is an extremely complex organ that controls various body functions.If a stroke occurs and blood flow cant reach the region that controls a particular body function,that part of the body wont work as it should.If the stroke occurs toward the back of the brain,for instance,its likely that some disability involving vision will result.The effects of a stroke depend primarily on the location of the obstruction（阻塞）and the extent of brain tissue affected.4The American Stroke Association has identified several factors that increase the risk of stroke.The more risk factors a person has,the greater the chance that he or she will have a stroke.Some of these you cant control,such as increasing age,family health history,race,and prior stroke.But you can change or treat other risk factors to lower your risk.Factors resulting from lifestyle or environment can be modified with a healthcare providers help.Some of these include:high blood pressure,current smoking,heart disease,and high red blood cell count.5A stroke can happen to anyone at any moment.In fact about 600,000 people have strokes every year.For many years,there was no hope for those suffering a stroke.However,recent breakthroughs have led to new treatments.For the treatments to work,the person must get to a hospital immediately.23.Paragraph 2.24.Paragraph 3.25.Paragraph

in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships?Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love?Or are we making it harder for ourselves?It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships.Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesnt expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago,your choice of soulmate （心上人） was constrained by geography,social convention and family tradition.Although it was never explicit,many marriages were essentially arranged.Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening.When the world is your oyster （牡蛎）,you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint:the tyranny of choice.The expectations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree:good looks,impressive salary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There is no room for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isnt,it is disposable.We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and dont put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship.Of course,this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.31.What does the recent poll show?A.It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband.B.It is getting increasingly difficult to start a familyl.C.It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife.D.It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.32.Which of the following is NOT true about a contemporary married couple?A.The wife doesnt have to raise the children all by herself.B.The husband doesnt have to support the family all by himself.C.The wife is no longer the only person to manage the household.D.They will receive a large sum of money from the govemment.33.Which of the following was NOT a constraint on ones choice of soulmate in the old days?A.The health condition of his or her grandmother.B.The geographical environment.C.The social convention.D.The family tradition.34.Which of the following is NOT expected of a partner according to this passage?A.Good looks.B.An impressive career.C.A high salary.D.A fine sense of humor.35.The wordsustain（paragraph 2）could be best replaced byA.reduce.B.shake.C.maintain.D.weaken.第二篇Chronic Diseases:The Worlds Leading KillerChronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the world.Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable.Chronic diseases include heart disease,stroke,cancer,diabetes（糖尿病）and lung disorders.The World Health Organization says chronic diseases lead to about seventeen million early deaths each year.This United Nations agency expects more than three hundred eighty million people to die of chronic diseases by two thousand fifteen.It says about eighty percent of the deaths will happen in developing nations.The WHO says chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific area.In ten years it could be almost three-fourths.People are getting sick in their most economically productive years.In fact,experts say chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in wealthier ones.The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than five hundred thousand million dollars in the next ten years.That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity.Russia and lndia are also expected to face huge economic losses.Kim Hak-Su is the head of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.Last ween in Bangkok he presented a WHO report on the problem.It says deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in many countries.The report details the latest findings from nine countries.They include Brazil,Britain,Canada,China,India and Nigeria.The others are Pakistan,Russia and Tanzania.Mister Kim says infectious and parasitic（寄生的）diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific.But he says they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.Health officials say as many as eighty percent of deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented.They say an important tool for governments is to restrict the marketing of alcohol and tobacco to young people.Also,more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.UN officials aim through international action to reduce chronic-disease deaths by two percent each year through two thousand fifteen.They say meeting that target could save thirty-six million lives.That includes twenty-five million in Asia and the Pacific.36.How many people in developing countries will probably die of chronic diseases by 2015?A.More than 17 million.B.More than 380 million.C.More than 304 million.D.More than 25 million.37.Due to chronic diseases China will have to faceA.great pressure from other countries.B.a limited economic market.C.a shortage of the labor force.D.huge economic losses.38.Which can NOT be learned from the passage?A.Many chronic-disease deaths are preventable.B.Chronic diseases are the major cause of death in most countries.C.Chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people than elderly people.D.Eonomic gains in many countries have contributed to chronic-disease deaths.39.Until recently the main killers in Asia and the Pacific have beenA.economic gains.B.lost productivity.C.chronic diseases.D.infectious and parasitic diseases.40.Which is NOT mentioned as a way to prevent chronic-disease deaths?A.Timely medical treatment.B.Healthy eating.C.More physical activity.D.Reduction in drinking and smoking.第三篇Joyce Sipes and Mary Ellen DodgeWhen Joyce Sipes was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999,she shared the news immediately with her sister Mary Ellen Dodge.Mary Ellen was there for her-helping her through the terror,and the fear,and the thousand questions that are inevitably a part of hearing the wordcancer.Fortunately,a friend at work who had had a similar diagnosis highly recommended Alonzo Walker,MD,Medical College of Wisconsin surgical oncologist（外科肿瘤学家）and director of the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Breast Cancer Program.Joyce made an appointment.At an initial consultation,Dr.Walker spent two hours with Joyce and her husband.Joyce was so reassured;she cancelled her appointment to get a second opinion elsewhere.Ultimately,Joyces cancer required a mastectomy（乳房切除术）.Reconstructive surgery took place right away.She came to think of Dr.Walker as her partner,not just my doctor.And the Froedtert nurses,she says,werevery unusual and impressive.As it turned out,Joyce would soon have the chance to do something important for her sister Mary Ellen.During her own cancer treatment,Joyce suggested that Mary Ellen should get herself checked through the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Breast Cancer Program.In addition to its opportunities for examination and screening,the hospital had established a program especially for women in families at high risk for cancer.Sure enough,it turned our that Mary Ellen had some cysts（囊肿）,one of which was dangerous enough that it needed to be surgically removed.Shes fine now-thanks to Joyces suggestion.Both sisters experienced firsthand how Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin offers more than leading-edge technology and the unmatched experience of physicians in an academic medical center.It offers a comrehensive team approach-of consultation,collaboration,and care-all focused on the individual patient.Thats why Joyce came to think of Froedtert,throughout the process of her treatment,as being her security blanket.Joyce Sipes has been cancer-free five years now-an important milestone（里程碑）for breast cancer survivors.Joyce and Mary Ellen are together once again in their workshop in Joyces home,making the beautiful market baskets,bread baskets,muffin（松饼）baskets,and Nantucket baskets that they-and their customers-love.41.What did Mary Ellen do for her cancer-stricken sister?A.She recommended Dr.Walket.B.She kept her from being disturbed.C.She asked her a lot of questions.D.She comforted her as much as she could.42.After talking with Dr.Walker,Joyce decidedA.to get a second opinion elsewhere.B.not to see any other doctors.C.to give up treatment.D.not to trust him.43.Thanks to Joyces suggestion,Mary Ellen gotA.an opportunity to work as a nurse.B.the same surgical procedure as her sister.C.a timely check and treatment for breast cancer.D.a chance to work for the Breast Cancer Program.44.Which is NOT true of Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?A.It does not care much about the individual patient.B.It offers more than leading-edge technology.C.Its physicians have unique experience.D.It adopts a comprehensive team approach.45.It can be seen from the last paragraph that the two sistersA.are leading a sad and lonely life.B.are still at high risk of breast cancer.C.are leaming to make various kinds of baskets.D.very much enjoy their present life and work.第5部分：补全短文（第4650题，每题2分，共10分）下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。American DreamsThere is a common response to America among foreign writers:the US is a land of extremes where the best of things qre just as easily found as the worst.This is a cliche（陈词滥调）.In the land of black and white,people should not be too surprised to find some of the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world.B
