The number of people who caught the flu was then pared with local weather data.After each season, the team noticed one consistent finding: The first really cold period with low outdoor temperatures and low humidity (湿度) was always followed by a week of a mass influenza outbreak.The researchers say that aerosol particles (气溶胶粒子) containing virus and liquid are more able to spread in cold and dry weather. So, in theory, if you sneeze or cough and the surrounding air is very dry, the air will absorb the moisture and the particles containing the virus keep spreading through the air for a longer period of time.Luckily there are ways to keep off the illness regardless of the weather. Washing your hands, coughing into the crook (弯曲) of your arm and getting vaccine (疫苗) are the best ways to prevent the flu from spreading. People over the age of 65, pregnant women and young children are at the highest risk of developing plications (并发症) related to the virus, according to the CDC.4.

The main ways to cure fluC. The most mon kind of flu virusD. The people who are easy to get flu【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D【解析】研究表明流感和天气变化有关，干燥寒冷的天气更易于引发流感。还告诉了我们预防流感的方法和易患流感的人群。4. C细节推理题。根据第一段a new study indicates you should keep an eye on your local weather report.可知新的研究表明流感和天气变化有关，故选C.5.

D推理判断题。根据最后一段there are ways to keep off the illness regardless of the weather.和People over the age of 65, pregnant women and young children are at the highest risk of developing plications(并发症) related to the virus, according to the CDC.可知本段主要讲预防流感的方法和易患流感的人群，故选D.CWhen I graduated from college I dreamed of being a television news reporter. Having no experience, I had to work in a small town until I finally got my big break in the form of a job in Boston. I made it.Soon, reality set in. I was too often sent to run after accused criminals out of courts, waiting outside of crime scene tape or at the doorstep of a family still crying for tragedy (悲剧). My breaking point came the day I accidentally informed a young woman that her mother died. It was the worst day of my professional life and the day I decided I no longer wanted to shine a light on these stories. My career was ebbing, and at the same time my personal life was too-I divorced.My mom had always told me “When youre feeling extremely upset, go help someone else.” So I started seeking out stories of people who had been in the news under tragic circumstances but were doing something inspiring with their lives: a young girl who was paralyzed (瘫痪的) by an accident but was uplifting her classmates with her positive spirit, a blind and autistic (自闭的) musician who learned to play 27 instruments, a disabled soldier who opened his own art studio. I started to tell and promote stories like them.Over the last 10 years I have discovered my kindness gift: my ability to see the beautiful side of a person and reflect it back to them and the world. In telling stories of people turning their own hurt into acts of helping others I have bee more sympathetic, more grateful and kinder. I have learned kindness is who we are, that our power for it is limitless and that, as we shine a light on it, it grows.8. What changed the authors working direction in his job in Boston?A. The tragedy in the society B. The low payment of the jobC. The hurt from his divorce D. The fear of cruel criminals9.

According to the last paragraph, what does the author advise us to do?A. To tell inspiring stories.B. To fight against criminals.C. To ignore our own hurt.D. To do as much kindness as possible.【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D【解析】作者由于工作原因看到了生活中太多的不幸，由一开始的同情、不安变为发现不幸人们的积极方面去报道，尽可能多的去帮助他们，积极地传播友善。8.

It was the worst day of my professional life and the day I decided I no longer wanted to shine a light on these stories.可知作者在职业生涯中见了太多的生活中的悲剧，加上自己生活的不幸，这些因素导致作者改变了工作方向，故选A.9. B猜测词义题。句意：我的事业开始走下坡路，同时我的个人生活也出现问题我离婚了。句中“ebbing”指沉陷，遇到困难，与Getting into trouble同义，故选B.10. B推理判断题。文中My mom had always told me “When youre feeling extremely upset, go help someone else.”指母亲告诉我，当心情极度沮丧时去帮助别人，这样心灵能够得到安慰。故选B.11. D推理判断题。根据最后一段In telling stories of people turning their own hurt into acts of helping others I have bee more sympathetic, more grateful and kinder.可知作者从帮助别人中自己变得更有同情心更感恩和友善。根据I have learned kindness is who we are, that our power for it is limitless and that, as we shine a light on it, it grows.可知作者建议我们学会仁慈并把这种力量光大。故选D.【名师点睛】推理判断题的常见考查形式及解题方法：推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了做出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。.DDo you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and thats a conservative estimate (保守的估计).”At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”12. By saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality”, Michael Zey means .A. they believe that there is no limit of livingB. they are sure to find the truth about long livingC. they have got some ideas about living foreverD. they are able to make people live past the present life span13. Donald Lourias attitude towards long living is that .A. people can live from 120 to 180B. it is still doubtful how long humans can liveC. the human body is designed to last past about 120 yearsD. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future14. The underlined “it” (in paragraph 4) refers to .A. a great effortB. the idea of living beyond the present life spanC. the idea of living from 200 to 300 yearsD. the conservative estimate15. What would be the best title for this text?A. Living Longer or NotB. Science, Technology and Long LivingC. No Limit for Human LifeD. Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A【解析】试题分析：本文讲述的是科学家在研究人类是否能够活得更长更健康，以及不同的人对此问题的不同的反应。12. C 推理题。根据本句we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),指我们敲响了永生的门，说明我们已经了解到了一些关于永生的秘密，结合第一段内容可知C正确。13. D 细节题。根据第二段最后3行“ There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “ Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years说明他认为人类永生是有可能的，故D正确。14. B 推理题。这里的it就是指上一段里的“ There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “ Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.活的时间超过现在的预测。故B正确。15. A 主旨大意题。本文讨论的主要就是人类在未来是否可以活的更久一点，故A项正确。考点：考查科普类短文阅读点评：对于人类是否可以活得更为久远，文章中给出了答案。属于科普类的短文，此类文章的最大的障碍是词汇以及考生对阅读内容的不熟悉，需要考生在阅读的时候有足够的耐心。要养成在上下文串联中猜测词义的能力，根据上下文中出现的同义词，近义词，反义词，以及词义的解释来理解生词。同时要抓住文章的中心，不要受其他信息的影响。要根据题目及选项以及文章的上下文串联合理的判断推理。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白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Today we eat on the go, at our desks and even in front of puters. We eat takeout, delivered and packaged meals. _16_“Over the past three decades, people have started eating out more than ever before and purchasing more prepared foods at the grocery store, which tend to contain more fat, salt and sugar than their home-made foods,” noted US healthy living website Spark People._17_ It encourages us to value the time we spend preparing, sharing and consuming food, as a recent USA today article put it. It all started in 1986 with the efforts of Slow Foods founding father, Italian activist Carlo Petrini, who wanted to bring back food varieties and flavors that had gone dark in the face of industrialization._18_ Now his idea is almost the mainstream.Starting at the table, the movement promotes an unhurried way of life founded on the idea that everyone has a right to cooking pleasure, and that everyone must also take responsibility to “protect the heritage (遗产) of food, tradition and culture that make this celebration of the senses possible”, wrote The Phnom Penh Post.“_19_
