The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gains strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found that initially the animal systems were not affected by the virus, but succeeding transmission(传送) into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe.The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its genetic material that were associated with increased disease.Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from the Universitys Institute of Infection and Global Health, explains: “The work tells us that the evolutionary goal of Ebola virus is to become more fatal.”“We were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved in this process. The information we have gathered will now allow us to monitor for such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.”Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said: “Ebola virus is such a destructive infection to the people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa.”“Our understanding of Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and our cooperation shows how we can bring together our specialists skills to close this knowledge gap.”Professor Miles Carroll, a co-author of the work, said: “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developing methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”23. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? A. How severe Ebola virus is. B. How Ebola virus gradually becomes deadly. C. How Ebola virus spreads. D.

Where can we probably read this passage? A. In an advertisement. B. In a storybook. C. In a science report. D. In a textbook.DWhen building houses, people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock（家畜）.During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the suns rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge（挑战）to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.27What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?AThe climate of their areas. BThe building materials for their houses.CThe fashions for their houses. DThe energy for their houses.28People in some areas gain a source of heat by _.Aprotecting their livestock from the cold Bkeeping their livestock downstairsCsharing their houses only with their cows Dliving on the second floor with their livestock29The underlined words“natural law”in the third paragraph refer to the fact that _.Aheat goes in the upward direction Bheat raises the temperature in the housesCheat goes up if temperature is raised Dheat increases the temperature of rocks30From the passage, we can conclude that _.Apeople will no longer consider building materials in the futureBalmost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksCenergy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureDenergy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology第二节 七选五What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More RespectAs teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits(特征) are not yet accepted as a way of life.31By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.Contribute to the householdAt the very least, clean up afteryourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up.32All chores（零星工作）that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before.
