But Dr Aylward said that was mainly the result of the data being updated with old cases, rather than new cases arising.“Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely,” Dr Aylward said.However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in the epidemic (传染病). “Im terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control,” he said.Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to “an oscillating(震荡的) pattern where the disease moves up and down”.The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from Ebola patients.In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. “Were still seeing this thing burning quite hot in parts of Sierra Leone,” Dr Aylward saidTracing the progress of individual patients, the WHO estimates an overall death rate of 70 percent, though people who receive treatment in a well-equipped clinic are slightly less likely to die. The WHO plans to set up 56 Ebola clinics with 4,700 beds in West Africa. Of these 15 clinics with 1,050 beds are already operational and another 22 clinics are expected to open during November.Meanwhile, two former NATO(北约) secretaries-general and dozens of leading European politicians have urged the alliance to send troops, aircraft and ships to west Africa to help contain the Ebola crisis.51. In the first paragraph, “cautious optimism” probably refers to _A. Ebola under control thanks to WHOs cautionB. the decline of new Ebola cases though not defeatedC. celebrations on the downturn in Ebola in LiberiaD. More treatment and relief supplies to West Africa52. Why did Dr Aylward urge people not to celebrate prematurely?A. Because celebrations may increases infections.B. Because the pattern of the disease is up and down.C. Because people may be misled to cease the battle.D. Because we are getting an upper hand on the virus.53. Which of the following didnt contribute to the improvement in Liberia?A. better contact tracingB. more treatment facilitiesC. safer burial practices D. data updated with old cases54. According to the text, “burning quite hot” means _ .A. very severeB. extremely hot C. on fire D. well receivedBIt was a bitter cold evening in northern Virginia many years ago. The old mans beard was glazed by winters frost while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became numb and stiff from the frigid north wind.It was long before he heard the faint, steady rhythm of hooves (马蹄) along the frozen path. Anxiously watching several horsemen coming up, he let the first one pass by without any effort to get his attention, then another passed by, and another. Finally, the last rider drew near where the old man sat like a snow statue when old man caught his eyes and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?”Stopping his horse, the rider replied, “Sure! Jump aboard.” Seeing the old man unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman got down to help him. The horseman took him not just across the river, but to his destination just a few miles away.As they approached the tiny but cozy cottage, the horsemans curiosity caused him to inquire, “Sir, I noticed you let several other riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you immediately asked me for a ride. I am curious why, on such a bitter night, you would wait and ask the last rider. What if I had refused and left you here?”The old man looked the rider straight in the eyes and replied, “I reckon I know people pretty good. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately found no concern for my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need.”Those heart-warming comments touched the horseman deeply. “Im so grateful for what you have said,” he told the old man. “May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.”With that, Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the White House.55. Why didnt the old man ask the previous riders for a ride?A. Because he was waiting for the last rider.B. Because his efforts failed to get their attention.C. Because he assumed they had no concern for him.D. Because he was too numb to lift his half-frozen body.56. What caused the last rider to stop and help the old man?A. the old mans poor situation B. The old mans warm commentsC. his own affairsD. kindness and sympathy57. What do you know about the old man?A. He judged people by looking into their eyes.B. He lived in a cozy cottage a few miles away.C. He gave the last rider an opportunity to help.D. He recognized the president at first sight.58. Which can be the best title of this text?A. look into your eyes B. compassion of a great manC. the last rider to helpD. return to the White HouseCIt is said that a great many things about languages are mysterious, and many will always be so. But some things we do know.Firstly, we know that all human beings have a language of some kind. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. In historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.Secondly, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are underdeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have guessed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. This means each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.Finally, we know that language changes. Its natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.59. In the 2nd paragraph the author thinks that_.Asome backward races dont have a language of their ownBsome races in history didnt possess a language of their ownCany human race, whether backward or not, has a languageDsome races on earth can communicate without a language60. As the author says, people of underdeveloped cultures can have_languages.Acomplicated BuncivilizedCprimitive Dwellknown61. American Indian languages are mentioned to prove that they are_Aas fully developed as some wellknown languagesBmore primitive than some wellknown languagesCmore complex than some wellknown languagesDjust as primitive as some wellknown languages62. According to the author, language changes are most likely to appear in_Agrammar BvocabularyCintonation DpronunciationDSensing phantom phone vibrations(手机虚幻震动) is a strangely common experience. Around 80% of us have imagined a phone vibrating in our pockets when its actually completely still. Almost 30% of us have also heard non-existent ringing. Are these signs of madness caused by digital culture? Not at all. In fact, phantom vibrations and ringing indicate a fundamental principle in psychology.Psychologists use a concept called Signal Detection Theory to guide their thinking about the problem of perceptual(感知的) judgments. Working through the example of phone vibrations, we can see how this theory explains why they are a common and unavoidable part of healthy mental function.When your phone is in your pocket, the world is in one of two possible states: the phone is either ringing or not. You also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is ringing, or the judgment that it isnt. Obviously youd like to match these states in the correct way. True vibrations should go with “its ringing”, and no vibrations should go with “its not ringing”. Signal detection theory calls these faithful matches a “hit” and a “correct rejection”But there are two other possible combinations: you could mismatch true vibrations with “its no
