11、becoming a growing power,” he said.Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty

19、he- counter(非处方的) medicines such as aspirin while others 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 U

20、niversity of Washington, colds usually go away on their own 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, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases y

21、et are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral(抗病毒的) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit

22、 and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D 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 rhino-virus(鼻病毒

23、) A and B. But they didnt find out about the existence of a third virus, rhino-virus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhino-virus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials

24、 against rhino-virus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhino-virus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as e

25、xpected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully 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.8. What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A. They are quite ef

26、fective.B. They are slightly helpful.C. They actually have no effect.D. They still need to be improved.9. How do antiviral drugs work?A. By breaking up cold viruses directly.B. By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C. By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D. By a

27、bsorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B. Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C. Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhino-virus C until recently.D. Knowing the

28、 structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.11. What is the best title for this passage?A. Drugs against cold virusesB. Helpful home remediesC. No current cure for common coldD. Research on cold virusesDScientists think that growing garden grass could be the secret to solvi

29、ng our energy needs, and we may soon be able to replace our gasoline with “grassoline”.The team, including experts from Cardiff University in Wales, has shown that hydrogen can be taken from grass in useful amounts with the help of sunlight and a cheap catalyst(催化剂) something that speeds up a chemic

30、al reaction without being used up.It is the first time that this has been shown and it could lead to a sustainable(可持续的) way of making hydrogen, reported Asian News International. This could be an important kind of renewable energy because it is high in energy and it does not give out harmful gases

31、when it is burned.Study co-author Michael Bowker said, “This is really a green source of energy. Hydrogen is seen as an important future energy carrier as the world moves from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and our research has shown that even garden grass could be a good way of getting it.”Cellu

32、lose(纤维素), which is a key part of plants and the biopolymer(生物聚合物) found in the largest numbers on the earth, could be a great source of hydrogen.In its study, the team looked at the possibility of getting hydrogen from cellulose using sunlight and a simple catalyst.This is called photocatalysis(光催化

33、作用) and in it, the sunlight starts the catalyst, which then makes cellulose and water into hydrogen. The researchers studied the effectiveness of three metal-based catalysts, of which nickel(镍) especially interested the researchers, as it is a much more common metal than gold and palladium(钯) and it

34、 saves more money.According to Bowker, producing hydrogen from cellulose using photocatalysis has not been studied in detail. The teams research shows that large amounts of hydrogen can be produced using this method with the help of a bit of sunlight and a cheap catalyst.The study shows that it is e

35、ffective to use real grass taken from a garden. “This is important as it avoids the need to separate and clean up cellulose, which can be both difficult and costly,” said Bowker.12. What are needed to get hydrogen from grass?A. A catalyst and palladium.B. Water and cellulose.C. Sunlight and a biopol

36、ymer.D. Sunlight and a catalyst.13. Why is the new way of making hydrogen considered significant?A. It is cheap, green and sustainable.B. It is the best to produce the renewable energy.C. It is more productive and efficient than other methods.D. It can replace the way to make fossil fuels completely

37、.14. Why does nickel interest the researchers in making hydrogen from cellulose?A. It can produce the largest amount of hydrogen.B. It can avoid separating and cleaning up cellulose.C. It is more common than other metals and costs less.D. It works quicker than other metals during photocatalysis.15.

38、What does the author intend to tell us mainly in this passage?A. Catalysts that could be taken from grass.B. A new way of making hydrogen from cellulose.C. The potential of hydrogen as a renewable energy.D. The connection between hydrogen and photocatalysis.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空
