when people need to lock their cars.Its not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars.Rather,its because of the good-hearted neighbours who want to share their harvest.Especially with this years large crop,leaving a car unlocked in my neighbourhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it full of zucchini(西葫芦).My sister-in-law,Sharon,recently had a good year for tomatoes.She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red.Thats when she decided it was time to share her blessings.She started calling everyone she knew.When that failed,she began to ask everyone in the neighbourhood like a politician,eventually finding a neighbour delighted to have the tomatoes.“Feel free to take whatever you want.” Sharon told her.She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didnt go to waste.A few days later,Sharon answered the door.There was the neighbour,holding some bread.The neighbour smiled pleasantly,“I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes,and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hope you wouldnt mind.”Sharon couldnt think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so.“Oh,but you did,” the neighbour said.“You had some of the prettiest zucchini Ive ever seen.”Sharon was confused.Zucchini in her garden?They hadnt even planted any zucchini.But her neighbour insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in Sharons garden.Sharons curiosity got the better of her and she had to go and see where the zucchini had grown.The two of them walked together into the backyard.When the neighbour pointed at the long green vegetables,Sharon smiled.“Well,actually,those are cucumbers that we never harvested,because they got too big,soft and bitter for eating or canning.”The neighbour looked at Sharon,shock written all over her face.Then,she smiled,and held out the bread that she had shared all over the neighbourhood.“I brought you a loaf of cucumber bread.I hope you like it.”1.Why does the author suggest that people in the neighbourhood should lock their cars?A.They might be stolen by thieves.B.They might be moved away by the police.C.Their neighbours might throw rubbish in them.D.Their neighbours might fill them with their harvest.2.How did those who received Sharons call react to the invitation to take her tomatoes?A.They refused to take it.B.They accepted it with pleasure.C.They promised to come when they were free.D.They recommended someone else who would like them.3.What did the neighbour do in Sharons garden?A.She harvested tomatoes only.B.She harvested zucchini by accident.C.She took some cucumbers mistakenly.D.She took something without Sharons permission.4.We can infer from the article that the neighbour s bread would taste .A.bitter but tastyB.strange and funnyC.hard and sourD.soft and sweetBJoseph Goldberger was a doctor for the United States Public Health Service and he was an advocate for scientific and social recognition of the links between poverty and disease.In 1914，Goldberger was asked by US Surgeon General Rupert Blue to study a skin disease that was killing thousands of people in the South.The disease was pellagra(糙皮病)Goldberger traveled to the state of Mississippi where many people suffered from pellagra.He studied the victims and their families.Most of the people lived a hard life.The doctor came to believe that the disease didnt pass on from one to another，but was instead related to food.He received permission from the state governor to test this idea at a prison.Prisoners were offered pardons if they took part.One group of prisoners received their usual foods，mostly corn products.A second group ate meat，fresh vegetables and drank milk.Members of the first group developed pellagra.The second group did not.But some medical researchers refused to accept Goldbergers idea.For the South，pellagra was more than simply a medical problem.There were other things，including Southern pride.So Goldberger had himself injected(注射)with blood from a person with pellagra.He also took liquid from the nose and throat of a pellagra patient and put them into his own nose and throat.He even swallowed pills that contained skin from pellagra patients.An assistant also took part in the experiments.So did Goldbergers wife.None of them got sick.Joseph Goldberger died of cancer in 1929.He was fiftyfive years old.Several years later，researchers discovered the exact cause of pellagra：a lack of vitamin B3 known as niacin.1Who were easy targets of pellagra according to Goldberger?APeople in America.BPeople put into prison.CPeople having a poor diet.DPeople touching pellagra patients.2What did Goldberger want to prove by the experiments mentioned in Paragraph 4?APellagra wasnt so terrible.BPellagra didnt spread.CPellagra could be cured.DPellagra wasnt a medical problem.3Which words can be used to describe Goldberger?ADevoted and determined.BSelfless and friendly.CPatient and expert.DStubborn and enthusiastic.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了美国医生Joseph Goldberger研究糙皮病的患病原因的过程。Joseph Goldberger医生的认真、牺牲精神令人感动。【难句分析】The doctor came to believe that the disease didnt pass on from one to another，but was instead related to food.分析：本句是一个含有that引导的宾语从句的主从复合句。that 从句中，but连接两个并列的谓语。译文：这位医生渐渐相信这种病不是传染性的，而是与食物有关。1C考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Most of the people lived a hard life.the disease didnt pass on from one to another，but was instead related to food”，再结合Goldberger在监狱进行的实验的内容可知，在Joseph Goldberger看来，糙皮病和食物有关，而且患者大多生活条件差；再结合实验中提到的主要吃玉米制品的犯人最后患上了该病可知，不良的饮食容易导致人们患糙皮病。2B考查推理判断。根据第二段中提到的Goldberger认为糙皮病不是传染病以及第四段中提到的他为了证明自己的观点而进行的实验的内容(将患糙皮病的人的血液注射到自己的体内、将糙皮病病人的鼻腔和口腔中的液体放入自己的鼻腔和口腔以及吞咽含有糙皮病病人的皮肤组织的药丸)和结果(他没患病)可推知，Goldberger进行实验是为了证明糙皮病不传染。3A考查推理判断。文中提到的Goldberger在监狱及在他自己身上做实验的内容表明他全心全意地投入到对糙皮病的研究中，有奉献精神；尽管一些人不认可Goldberger的观点，但他仍坚持自己的看法并坚决地去证明自己的观点是正确的，这体现出他意志坚定。故选A。.完形填空Several
