Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses( 病毒)harbored in the body,

20、and you' re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the viruses around. If you feel a chill when you're coming down with a cold, you' re already

21、 sick. A chill is an early symptom: it's the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around.While the virus can spread through droplets （飞沫）propelledinto the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes. Surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission. Numerous studies have n

22、ow shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are "caught" by hand contact. A cold sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand, Then a friend comes to visit."Don't kiss me," she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then

23、 wipes her own nose or eye, and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pick up their child' s discarded（ 丢弃的）tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterward.Cold viruses also can be transferred to objectstelephones,towels, plates and remain infectiou

24、s for up to three hours.Frequent hand-washing on the part of the cold sufferer as well as other members of the household will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.36. According to the author, we are most likely to catch a cold if we.A. attend a party with a lot of peopleB. stay long hours in t

25、he street on a snowy dayC. go out on an extremely cold and windy dayD. go skiing or skating in the open air37. From what the author says, we can infer that "Exposure to severe weather causes colds." is.A. only a supposition of doctorsB. still the view held by many people二 C. an out-of-date

26、 view of people in the pastD. a fact already proven by doctors38. To prevent viruses from spreading, we should.A. shake hands with our friends instead of kissing themB. never touch the telephones, towels or platesC. often wash our handsD. often rub our noses and eyes39. Man is most likely to be stri

27、cken with a cold if.A. he often rubs his eyes or noseB. he fails to expose the cold viruses to airC. he visits his friend in a warm roomD. he shakes hands with a cold-sufferer40. The best title for this passage might be.A. Colds and VirusesB. Ways to Avoid ColdsC. The Spread of VirusesD. Hand Contac

28、t and Transmission of VirusesTask 2Directions : This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions orunfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45Scientists can determine someone's favorite food from their body shape. They have discovered that the arrangement of taste buds （舌部味蕾）on the tongue v

29、aries for different body types. The scientist team examined 1,000 British adults and divided them into three physiologically recognized body typesectomorphs, endomorphsand mesomorphs. They determined that a person's body type indicated where they were likely to have the most taste buds on the sw

30、eet, bitter or salty areas of their tongue.The study showed that ectomorphs, who make up one in three of the population, usually have a small delicate shape, have a sweet tooth but hate bitter foods. Mesomorphs, who make up 20 percent of the population, usually have a muscular shape and prefer salty

31、 or bitter foods but dislike sweet foods. Half the British population are endomorphy with soft, rounded bodies, and they like most foods. The findings showed that for two in three people food preference was a physiological rather than a psychological choice.Body shape expert Simon Bradshaw, who take

32、s charge of this team, said: "It appears that simply by looking at an individual's body shape we can make sure about their preferences." But Catherine Collins, of the British Dietetic Association said:" It is difficult to dictate whether our body shape dictates the food we like, o

33、r the food we like dictates body shape." It stands to reason people who prefer most types of foods will be fatter and people who are the endomorph shape tend to find it more difficult to lose weight.41. The whole passage is mainly about.A. how to lose weightB. a report on your body shape and fa

36、aph means "".A. Everyone finds it hard to believeB. It is obvious to everyoneC. Everyone knows the reasonD. Nobody believes it45. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. People of the endomorph shape tend to lose weight more difficultly.B. People who don't

37、 like most food are easy to lose weight.C. Different body shape determines one' s weight.D.
