The protective effect may be created by a particular protein called A20, which the body produces upon contacting with farm dust, according to the team.The findings may represent a major step forward toward the development of an asthma vaccine. For the study, the researchers first exposed mice to farm dust extract, a bacterial component called endotoxin (内毒素), every other day for two weeks. They then presented these mice with allergydriving house dust mites (螨), which often cause asthma in people, finding that mice that had been regularly exposed to endotoxin did not develop allergic features, while control mice did.These findings were then tested in patients. The results showed that people suffering from asthma and allergies have a deficiency in the protective protein A20, explaining why they react to allergies so severely. “Discovering how farm dust provides this type of protection has certainly put us on the right track toward developing an asthma vaccine and new allergy therapies，”Hammad said. “However,_several_years_of_research_are_required_still_before_they_will_be_available_to_patients.”Some experts cautioned that the newly uncovered mechanism does not entirely explain the protective effect of farm life. For example, it is commonly known that drinking raw cows milk can provide protection against allergies, but that effect is unlikely to involve the lung epithelium (上皮细胞)篇章导读：本文是一篇科技说明文。详细介绍了一个欧洲团队的研究发现：在农场长大的孩子因为接触过尘螨而更不易患上哮喘或者过敏症。1From the first paragraph we can learn that_.Achildren growing up on farms are affected by A20Bthe bodies of children growing up on farms produces A20Cchildren growing up on farms seldom get asthma and allergiesDthe European team presented an idea for children growing up on farms答案：C细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“A European team proposed a new explanation for why children growing up on farms are far better protected against asthma and allergies.”可知，在农场长大的孩子不易患上哮喘或者过敏症。故选C项。2What did the researchers do for the study?AThey presented mice with some dust.BThey tested mice in an allergydriving house.CThey offered mice a bacterial component every other day.DThey exposed mice to endotoxin every two days for two weeks.答案：D细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“.the researchers first exposed mice to farm dust extract, a bacterial component called endotoxin, every other day for two weeks.”可知，D项正确。A项中“some dust”与原文中的“farm dust extract (农场灰尘提取物)”不符；第二段第三句只提及“allergydriving house dust mites”而非“in an allergydriving house”，故B项错误；C项描述不准确。3Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?ASeveral years of research is available to patients.BWhat patients require is several years of research.CIt is important that research should be done for patients.DSeveral years of research is needed before treatment for patients.答案：D句意理解题。画线句句意为：然而，在此疫苗能够在病人身上使用之前，还需要好几年的实验研究。这与D项“在(用于)治疗病人之前，还需要好几年的研究”意思相近。故选D项。4This text is most probably taken from_.Aa textbook Ba science magazineCa doctors notebook Dan advertisement答案：B推理判断题。根据首段提出的新发现，以及文章中的关键词“study, research”以及“findings”可知，本文是介绍科学研究发现的文章，可能是选自科学杂志。故选B项。1allergy n. 过敏反应2expose vt. 使面临，使遭受(危险或不快)3severely adv. 严重地；严厉地4caution n/vt. 谨慎；小心/警告；提醒5involve vt. 牵扯；牵连；包含1suffer from. 遭受；忍受2react to 对作出反应BWe take smiles for granted， but the evolution of these and other facial expressions is a big deal for animals, including humans. Smiles and other expressions allow us to communicate our emotional states to others. Among primates (灵长目动物), because social living became more and more important, the ability to quickly indicate fear, excitement, lack of threat and more helped our ancestors survive in the wild.Humans, chimpanzees and other great apes even share expressions and other physical indicators of pride, which appears to be a more abstract emotion. Azim Shariff, a researcher at the University of Oregon, studied facial expressions and found that chimps reach out their chests to show others that they are ready to take on challenges. “We seem to share a number of expressions, including pride, with chimpanzees and other apes，” says Shariff.Since cats are mammals too, we have many things in common with them. Smiling, however, is not one of them. When a cat shows its teeth in a way that might look like its grinning, it is probably grimacing (做怪相), or is angry and ready to use those teeth to bite into someone.According to the Arizona Humane Society, when a cat is happy, it may exhibit these facial features：Relaxed cheeks that are not pulled inOpen ears that are facing forwardClosed, relaxed mouthWide open eyes that are focused on youWhiskers (须) that are pointed outward and not spread apart muchHumans tend to rely a lot on facial expressions, but cats use their bodies to communicate how they feel. A happy cat will tend to hold its head and tail high, with its tail raised upward and fur lying flat on the body.篇章导读：本文是一篇科普说明文。面部表情的进化对动物而言是一件大事。人类、黑猩猩和其他类人猿使用的表情相同，同为哺乳动物的猫却不用露齿笑来展示自己的高兴。5What can we learn from the second paragraph?AAzim Shariff founded a shelter for chimps.BHappiness appears to be a more abstract emotion.CAzim Shariff is a researcher studying facial expressions.DAll animals share expressions and other physical indicators of pride.答案：C细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，Azim Shariff从事的是面部表情方面的研究。6When a cat is happy, you can see that_.Aits small eyes are fixed on itselfBits mouth is closed and relaxedCits ears are spread apart muchDits cheeks are pulled in答案：B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Closed, relaxed mouth”可知，当一只猫高兴时，它的嘴巴会很放松地闭着。7It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.Aa happy cat holds its head and tail lower than usualBhumans often show their facial expressions to strangersChumans prefer to use their bodies rather than facial expressionsDthe way cats show their feelings differs greatly from that of humans答案：D推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的转折语意可推知，猫表达感受的方式与人类的方式差别很大。1evolution n. 进化2indicate v. 表明；标示；显示；(用灯/手)打(行车转向信号)3abstract adj. 抽象的；纯理论的4mammal n. 哺乳动物5exhibit vt. 展览；展出；表现1take.for granted 将视为理所当然2have many things in common with. 与有很多共同之处.短文改错(建议用时8)2017河北五校联考Yesterday morning I got up early to run in a race. It was hardly above freezing. So every runner was jumping around trying to stay warmly.By the roadside was a man wrapping in a blanket. He was obviously homeless and most people pretended not see him. I went over and talked with him. We talked about all sort of things. He didnt ask me for anything, and I wanted to do something for him. I gave him all the cash which I had. At the first he didnt want to accept it but I insisted. Then he said something surprised.
