The Sydney winter isnt really harsh and t

20、he weathers generally pleasant. Its great for touring the city on foot and for bushwalking. And the ski slopes are not too far away.Holiday time You get the Queens Birthday holiday weekend in June and the school holidays in July. Aside from within those periods, accommodation costs in the city will

21、generally be lower. Winter weather Expect generally cool conditions. The average temperature should range from around 8C (46F) at night to 16C (61F) in the daytime in mid-winter. Expect from 80mm to 131mm of rainin a month, with the most rain in June tapering into August.Winter accommodation Outside

Visit The Rocks, the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australian Museum, Hyde Park,

23、 Chinatown, Darling Harbour. Go on a harbor cruise. At the very least, take a Sydney ferry and cross the harbor to Manly. Take a daytrip north, south and west of Sydney.

Going skiing near Sydney.B. Hunting whales in the Royal Botanic Gardens. C. Touring Sydney on foot.D. Bushwalking at the Royal N

25、ational Park.BAn oral drug, named ERDRP-0519, was invented. It is specifically designed to protect people who got infected measles (麻疹) from spreading the virus to others. Like the flu, measles spreads through the air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. There is typically a time, about two weeks, be

26、tween becoming infected with the virus and the beginning of symptoms like skin rash (皮疮), runny nose, heavy cough and high fever.“This therapy application determines the desired characteristics of the drug, which are orally available, cost-effective manufacture and high stability, ” Richard Klempere

27、r, professor of Georgia State University, told reporters last Wednesday.“With these criteria in mind, we have developed a small drug that blocks the measles virus over the past years, which is essential for copy of the virus.”The researchers tested the drug in rats infected with canine distemper vir

28、us (犬瘟病), which is a close relative of measles virus. They found that all of the infected rats treated with the drug survived the deadly infection, showed no clinical signs of disease and developed a strong protective immune response.The drug could be used to treat friends, family and other social c

29、ontacts of a person infected with measles virus, which have not developed symptoms yet but are at risk of having caught the disease, Klemperer said truthfully.“The emergence of strong antiviral immunity (抗病毒免疫力）in treated animals is particularly encouraging, since it suggests that the drug may not o

30、nly save an infected individual from disease but contribute to closing measles immunity gaps in a population, ” Klemperer said.The researchers emphasized the drug is not intended as a substitute for vaccination, but as an additional weapon to get rid of the measles. They planned to test the drugs sa

31、fety in larger animals, before moving into clinical trials in humans.“If our next series of studies confirms that the human situation mirrors what we have seen in rats, then this drug may make a major contribution to getting rid of measles by preventing local outbreaks, , Klemperer said.Despite the

32、existence of an effective vaccine, annual measles deaths worldwide have remained constant at around 150,000 since 2007. The reasons for this are the highly infectious nature of the virus, in the developing world largely due to issues of resources, and in many developed countries in particular in the

33、 European region due to parental concerns regarding vaccination safety. 58. If a boy got infected by measles virus, he might NOT show the symptom like _. A. runny noseB. bad coughC. high feverD. sick stomach59. From what Klemperer said, we know that the drug _. A. is only intended as a substitute fo

34、r vaccination B. can only save those infected individuals from disease C. is cost-effective and high stability for curing measles D. has the same effect on human as on larger animals60. The best title of the passage is_. A. the Introduction of a New Oral Drug B. the Desired Characteristics of Drugs

35、C. the Common Symptoms of Getting Measles D. the Application of Post-exposure TherapyCI love seeing Europeans line up in airports to applaud arriving refugees. But humanitarianism (人道主义）will not guide policy for long. We liberals need to argue from Europes self-interest: our continent has the need,

36、the space and the ability to accept people.Many European countries are gradually turning into old peoples homes. Germany, Italy, Spain and others have some of the lowest birth rates in human history. It is predicted that about one-third of their populations will be aged over 65 in 2050. Germany need

37、s to import at least 350.000 people a year to keep its workforce stable. Suddenly, young ambitious workers are pouring into the country as if called by a genie (精灵）with a lamp. No wonder Angela Merkel, German Chancellor, has been more welcoming than David Cameron, British Prime Minister. But all ove

38、r Europe, carers for old people are already in need. Norway found oil under the seabed but it would have been better off if it had discovered 50,000 nurses there instead.Many rightwingers think we have reached our limits. This feeling is widespread. And its true that Western Europe is one of the mos

39、t densely populated regions on earth. Indeed, density has long been Europes unique selling point: with so many people of different nations closely packed together, we have always traded goods and exchanged ideas fast. Thats why the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries happened here.B

40、ut we have plenty more room. Many European cities arent dense enough. Now east Germany, north-western Spain and gorgeous mountain villages in Italy arc losing people. Lots of cities have unused industrial land.Humans inhabit a slice of the EU, s territory. Only about 2.5 per cent of the ELTs land is

41、 used for housing, estimates the European Commission. By contrast, a whopping 43 per cent was used for agriculture in 2009, it says. Thats too much. We could turn more land into forest or into green landscapes where people can relax and play. Making that transition is feasible because we now use agr

42、icultural land inefficiently.Migrants often spend years locked up together in serious government-funded “migrant centers”. However, the way to learn a new countrys language, make friends and find work is to live with a local. This crisis has shown that lots of Europeans are willing to take refugees

43、into their homes. After Icelands government said it could take only 50 Syrian refugees, many Icelanders came forward offering to take a far greater number into their own homes. People arent just sitting around waiting for government to do something.We need migrants, and we can accommodate them. If o

44、pponents just don t like foreigners, they should say so instead of pretending to be hardheaded pragmatists (实用主义者）.61. Why is Angela Merkel willing to take in refugees according to the passage?A. Germany has already stepped into aged society.B. Birth rates in Germany are the lowest in history.C. She

45、 is kind and shows sympathy for homeless people.D. Refugees can make up the shortage of labor in Germany.62. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. No other region is more densely populated than Western Europe.B. Density has become Europes most outstanding characteristic.C. All European cities

46、 are not crowded together in great numbers.D. Large quantities of unused industrial land will turn into forest.63. It can be inferred that _.A. nurses are more badly needed than petrol in EuropeB. liberals always do something for the Europes benefitC. aging problem in Germany is the worst in EuropeD

47、. Europeans have already made intelligent use of the land64. What is the last paragraph but one mainly about?A. Migrants can privately be accommodated.B. Migrants had belter not live in migrant centers.C. Everyone can live with migrants to help them fit in.D. Everyone has done their own part to help

48、 migrants.DAttitudes Wired in Happy and Succcssful BrainsIve carefully examined happy and successful people from all different professions-actors, scientists, comedians, musicians, etc. They share very similar philosophies. Here are some of the fundamental attitudes and beliefs that contribute to th

49、eir happiness and success: This is one of the most commonly recited mottos in self-improvement. Individuals who see their mistakes and failures as a learning experience are much more prone to happiness and success.When we adopt the belief that “failure is a part of learning,” we become more resilien

50、t and courageous in the face of new challenges. Instead of avoiding situations where we may embarrass ourselves, we embrace these challenges in life, even when we know they can be risky and painful. When we do fail, we dont see it as the end of the world, but a point to improve upon. Many people are

51、 great at finding problems and being critical about their lives; however, they do this without ever suggesting a possible solution or alternative to their situation. They complain about this and that, but they never take an active role to actually improve these things. They focus on problems not to

52、learn from them or fix them, but to make excuses for why their lives are miserable and unpleasant. I believe acknowledging problems in life is important. I dont recommend that we ignore things in our life that disturb us or make us unhappy. However, its also important to think of ways we can actuall

53、y respond to these problems and change our circumstances.Ruminating over problems in our life without a plan to take action is not only a waste of time, but it makes us even more sad and depressed. If youre going to be critical about something in your life, focus on the ways you can actually make a

54、difference. Happy and successful people are incredibly grateful for their lives and everything they have: their relationships, their home, their job, their possessions, their talents, their achievements, etc. Although successful people are often thought of as always hungry and striving - always tryi

55、ng to improve things, achieve their goals, and make things better - this inner drive doesnt take away from the fact they are very happy and content with their lives. Gratitude is an irreplaceable characteristic of true happiness and success. Even if we achieve great things in life, without gratitude we often find ourselves empty and discontent. Make sure you take the time to reflect on how lucky you are as a person (I believe everyone can find something to be grateful for). Happy and successf
