Because it is unfamiliar, health workers may not 4 it, and may not take any measures to stop it from 5 . People with the disease may continue to have 6 with others. In this way, the germs tra

Then when the air conditioner is turned on, the germs are blown into the home or office and make people sick.

4、This 9 was first recognized by scientists in July 1976. Pollution of the 10 can also be a factor in spreading disease.

10、 I learned that I could manage fine regardless of any language barriers. 19 my French still wasnt great in university, it was obviously good enough that this girl named Lisa made the 20 (decide) that I should be her study partner.

However, theyve always felt superior in th

13、e kitchen. France has for centuries had a reputation for cooking excellence, and Britain for some of the worst cooking in the world. But according to a recent survey, that reputation may no longer reflect reality.In the survey, 71% of the Britons said they cook at home every day, while only 59% of t

14、he French said they cook daily. British home cooks spend more time cooking each week and also produce a greater variety of dishes than French home cooks.The reaction in London was predictably enthusiastic. British food has greatly improved since the 1990s. Once upon a time, the menu for many family

15、meals would have been roast beef, potatoes and over-cooked vegetables, but not now. Home cooks are experimenting with the huge range of ingredients now available in British supermarkets and are preparing all kinds of new dishes, using the cookbooks that sell millions of copies every year. As a resul

16、t, theres much more diversity in British food now, compared to French food, which tends to be very traditional.Some French people say that the survey did not show the whole picture. They agree that during the week French women dont cook as much as they used to because most of them work and dont have

17、 much time. They tend to buy ready-made or frozen dishes, but many of them make up for it on the weekend. Theres also a difference between Paris and the country-side. Its true that people in Paris dont cook much, but elsewhere, cooking is still at the heart of daily life.For many French people, opin

18、ions about British food have not changed. When Bernard Blier, the food editor at a magazine, was asked about British food, he replied: “I dont go out of my way to try it. It is not very refined. You can say that Im not a fan at all.”26. What does the underlined part in the first paragraph imply?A. F

19、rench cooking is better than British cooking.B. The British defeated the French in many battles.C. British cooking is thought to be the worst.D. British cooking is now better than it was.27. According to the passage, nowadays British people_ .A. cook less at home than the French every dayB. no longe

20、r eat roast beef and over-cooked vegetablesC. are more willing to try cooking all kinds of new foodsD. buy more cookbooks than French people do28. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A. French women cook less often now. B. The French prefer ready-made dishes.C. French women seldom cook on th

21、e weekend.D. Cooking is at the heart of peoples life in Paris.29. What is Bernards attitude towards British food?A. He would love to try it.B. He shows no interest in it.C. He considers it worse than before.D. He considers it better than before.30. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The hist

22、ory of British food. B. The history of French food.C. The change in British food. D. The change in French food.BIn a number of societies around the world, there are established social rules on what makes up acceptable masculine(男性化的) and feminine (女性化的) behavior, especially during childhood and pre-

23、adolescence. Most boys learn to play aggressive games which allow them to show off their physical strength. Most girls are encouraged to play with fashion dolls or other “girly girl” toys. When a girl chooses to reject the traditional feminine role and act more masculine, she is often referred to as

24、 a tomboy. A tomboy is a young girl who may prefer to climb a tree or wrestle instead of playing with dolls or wearing dresses. She may behave in a more aggressive or independent manner than her female friends or classmates. A tomboy often tends to choose a more masculine lifestyle as a form of pre-

25、adolescent rebellion (叛逆) against the strict gender (性别) roles of her society. There are some who believe tomboys are largely the products of a male-dominated (主导) family. A girl trying to fit in with her male siblings and dominant father may find it easier to choose a more masculine lifestyle rathe

26、r than risk being laughed at for having traditional feminine interests. A tomboy may also find it easier to fit in with male classmates, since female classmates can be more critical or jealous of other girls. A tomboy may have little or no romantic interest in boys during this time, but generally pr

27、efers their companionship over traditional “girly girls” who do not like to play more physical games. Many parents may become concerned over a daughters tomboyish behavior, but child psychologists believe it should be considered more of a period than anything else. Some children resist adapting trad

28、itional gender and sexual roles until they become mature enough to handle the responsibilities which accompany them. A tomboy may simply be enjoying the last part of her childhood before taking on the more challenging role of an adolescent.31. Most boys learn to play aggressive games in order to_. A

29、. respect social rules B. establish social rules C. show off their physical strength D. encourage girls to become tomboys32. What is TRUE about a tomboy? A. Shes against the strict social gender roles.B. She never plays with dolls or wears dresses. C. She wishes to get as aggressive as a boy.D. She

30、acts more aggressively than a boy.33. A tomboy chooses a more masculine style probably because . A. she is good at climbing trees B. she doesnt have any sisters C. she is quite jealous of other girls D. she wants to be accepted by males34. What do psychologists think of a girls tomboyish behavior? A

31、. It makes the girl more responsible B. It will change as she grows older. C. It can help the girl become mature. D. It encourages a girl to change gender.35 In which section of a website would this passage probably appear? A. Careers B. Entertainment. C. Sports. D. Life.CMy son Advait taught me a b

32、eautiful lesson today. He called out to me saying. “Papa, sit”. That usually means leaving everything and sitting down to play with him. As he will not stop calling out till I give in. He was playing with beads (珠子), an exercise to help build the motor skills. Anyway, so after he finished playing wi

33、th the beads he began to put them in their box. He did that very slowly and carefully as if they were made of chocolate. And with over a hundred beads to go, I was getting tired “Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in?” said my anxious mind. Damn! My morning was going to go for a toss

34、 today. And then it hit me like a brick. This boy was enjoying the whole process. For him the fun was in the game, in the preparation for the game and in the process of properly collecting and picking up. It was not just about his turnor the fun part. Every bit was as fun as the other. “What a great

35、 view to have.” I thought to myself. To live each moment as it is the perfect moment. To do each task as if it were the most awesome task to do. Nothing else matters. I thought of myself as a kid when we would go out to play cricket(扳球). If I was not playing, I was unhappy as I desperately waited fo

36、r my toss to do so. Only the process of doing something I associated with happiness made me cheerful. The rest of the time I was waiting for my turn in the future or thinking of a great hit from the past. This is also how I have so often lived my life, waiting for something in the future or looking

37、back on what it was like in the past. Now, Advait was showing me that life was about thoroughly living every moment with complete love and peace. I realized that the truest and happiest moments of my life have been the ones where I fullyparticipated without thoughts of the past or the future.36.Weca

41、 practicing for 10,000 hours. The theory is most often credited to a 1993study by K. Anders Ericsson (which has been mentioned more than 4,000 times, according to Google Scholar). But a new review of that study and other research in the field came to a different conclusion: Practice is not as vital

42、as previously thought.In the new paper, published in Intelligence, the authors write that “we have evidence that deliberate practice, while important, is not as important as Ericsson has argued it is - evidencethat it does not largely account for individual differences in performances.”The authors o

43、f the new paper re-analyze scores of studies on outstanding chess players and musicians. They point out that there is significant variation in how long it took for people to get to the level of a chess master. One player in a 2007 study, for example, “took 26 years ofserious involvement in chess to

44、reach a master level, while another player took less than 2years to reach this level”they write. They conclude that practice can only explain one-third of the success in chess and music, and probably other fields as well.The evidence is “quite clear that some people do reach an outstanding level ofp

45、erformance without plentiful practice, while other people fail to do so although they doplentiful practice,” they write. They suggest that other factors together explain the lions shareof success (at least in these two most-studied areas), such as intelligence, staffing age, personality and other fa

46、ctors.Despite their new analysis, the authors write that the debate is likely to continue “formany years to come,” which makes me think: Perhaps the “10,000 hour rule” should bedefined(定义) as “the amount of time scholars spend arguing over what factors explainsuccess.41. What does the “10,000 hour r

47、ule” suggest? A. Your success is largely determined by your practice. B. Scholars need to practice less than people in other fields.C. You cant succeed with less than l0,000 hour practice. D. 10,000 hours practice surely leads to the top of a field.42. The new paper in Intelligence finds that . A. m

48、ore evidence is needed for the research B. one should not practice deliberately C. Ericsson does not think practice is important D. practice isnt so important as people thought43. How did the new study get its conclusion? A. By studying dozens of chess players. B. By studying other peoples research.

49、 C. Through 26 years of serious study. D. Through large amount of practice.44. What does the writer of this passage think of the “1,000 hour rule”? A. He is strongly for the rule.B. He doubts the truth of the rule. C He considers it the key to success. D. He prefers the rule to be proved wrong. 45.

50、What is the purpose of the passage? A. To persuade people to work harder B. To argue for the 10,000 hour rule. C. To introduce a new study on the 10,000 hour rule. D. To introduce different scholars great discoveries.第二节信息匹配（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答案填涂在答题卡标号为46-50的相应位置上。首先，请阅读以下网站
