17、 try popular home remedies(治疗) like herbal tea or chicken soup.Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold：nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor，professor at the University of Washington，colds usually go away on their own

18、 in about a week，improving a little each day after symptoms peak，so its easy to believe its medicine rather than time that deserves the credit，USATodayreported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold.Recently，

19、scientists came closer to figure out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral drugs work.They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus.To do that，the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图)，which means sci

20、entists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and B. But they didnt find out about the existence of a third virus，rhinovir

21、us C，until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold，but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses，”study leader Professor Ann CPalmenberg at the Unive

22、rsity of Wiscons in Madison，US，toldScienceDaily.Now，more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C，scientists have finally built a highlydetailed 3D model of the virus，showing that the surface of the virus is，as expected，different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand，hopefu

23、lly a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon，we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that dont really work.24What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?AThey are quite effective.BThey are slightly helpful.CThey actually have no effect.DThey still need to

24、be improved.25How do antiviral drugs work?ABy breaking up cold viruses directly.BBy changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.CBy preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.DBy absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.26What can we infer from the passage?AThe

25、surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.BScientists have already found a cure for the common cold.CScientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.DKnowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.27What is the best title for this passage

26、?ADrugs against cold virusesBHelpful home remediesCNo current cure for common coldDResearch on cold virusesCMagic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible. The magician is a specially trained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the

27、power to do things which are against the laws of nature.Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done. The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and, sometimes, on mechanical devices （机械装置）.Since magic p

28、erformance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions. The magician5s success depends on t

29、he fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter.Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear. A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of severa

30、l cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour. What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand. The audienc

31、e is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician5s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.Another favourite trick is to cut or bum something, and then make it appear whole again. What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quic

32、kly hiding it while the audience watches something else. Then he magically makes it appear whole again by displaying （展示）another object that has not been cut or burned.28.What is the authors main purpose in writing the text?A. To promote a magic show.B. To teach people to be magicians.C. To explain

33、the art of magic.D. To praise the talents of magicians.29.Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick?A. Moving stage equipment.B. Directing the audiences attention.C. Applying high technology.D. Keeping the performance in secret.30.What does the author focus on in the last two

34、paragraphs?A.Providing examples. B.Making a summary.C.Drawing comparisons. D.Explaining a concept.31.What can we infer from the text?A. Mechanical devices are expensive. B.Most magicians employ assistants.C. It takes practice to perform magic.D.Small objects are magicians5 favourite.DThe average bea

35、r, it seems, is getting ever smarter. First, it turned out that at least one can use a comb. Now it appears that some can count, too.Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between

36、numerically larger and smaller groups of dots （点）on a computer screen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus, would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would touch the screen with their claws （爪子）.As the researchers report in Animal Behavior, the

37、bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area. This could be explained by the bears5 distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting the dots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigge

38、r number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.Moving patterns, where each dot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a challenge. But Brutus, at least, was not defeated. He seemed to be counting mobile dots even when the scientists tried to mislead

39、him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same time.It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute

40、 to animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill developed because they cannot count on their friends for help.32.What task did the scientists set for the three bears?A.Distinguishing different dot patterns.B.Figuring out different colors of dots.C.Putting the dots into differently coloured group

41、s.D.Picking out the group with a larger number of dots.33.For the bears, the task was easier when .A. the coloured dots were moving slowlyB. the dot patterns were regular in shapeC. the dots followed a path on the screenD. more dots covered a larger coloured area34.What may explain the bears5 high d

42、egree of intelligence?A.They learn skills from other animals.B.They face life challenges on their own.C.They feed on a diverse range of food.D.They have complex social networks.35.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Bears Taught to Distinguish ColorsB.New Evidence of Bear Intelligence FoundC

45、world which it opens up to you. This is a world of diverse sources (来源)of information, from newspapers and books to TV radio, music and even real people.
