12、ion because it's bassinet-like sleeping space,but after the baby can sit up you'll need a new stroller. A pram can be also quite large and expensive.A low-cost alternative can be the car seat frame that allows you to snap your infant car seat right on top. This foldable and lightweight frame
13、 can be easily stored in the truck of your car. However after the baby outgrows the infant car seat you'll have to buy a new stroller.The travel system could seem as the perfect solution for a stroller. It can be used from birth till the baby is 3 years old. This type of stroller allows you to k
14、eep the car seat on the stroller until your baby is old enough to sit up,and then remove it and seat your baby in the stroller itself. However it can be that this system is quite heavy and not so easy to fold and shove in the car truck.If you want to leave the car seat out of the equation you might,
15、consider a convertible stroller as it can be your companion from the first days of your child's life till he is in the toddler stage. The seat of a convertible stroller can be folded back so your newborn can ride flat but as the baby grows you can fold it up and so he can also sit upright.If you
16、 are looking for a stroller for a baby that can sit upright,you might consider a lightweight stroller,a jogger or a standard stroller depending on your all day needs.Whichever type of stroller you choose you have to look up certain features like: stability,harness(five-point harness is best),height

18、好的婴儿车。17.A pram is the cheapest of all the choices mentioned in the passageA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:B解析:该题说的是:卧式婴儿车是文章中提到的最便宜的一款。第二段结尾提到卧式婴儿车很贵,因此错误。18.The car seat frame is not so expensive,but it can only be used before the baby grows bigger than itA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:A解
19、析:该题说的是:车座架婴儿车不太贵,但是婴儿长到大于它的尺寸时,就不能用了。第三段提到了这一说法,outgrow意为太大而不适于。19.A baby can be seated in the car seat in the travel system when it is smallA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:A解析:该题说的是:婴儿小的时候可以坐在车座架里在放在旅行套车里。第三段中间提到婴儿小的时候可以放在旅行车里的车座架里,长大之后撤掉车座架直接放在婴儿车里。20.A baby can either lie or sit up in a conv
20、ertible stroller only during the first 4-5 months of its lifeA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:B解析:该题说的是:只有在出生后的4-5个月里,婴儿可以在折叠式婴儿车里躺着或者坐着。第五段提到折叠式婴儿车可以从婴儿出生一直用到走路,而不仅是4-5个月,因此不准确。21.The car seat and the travel system can both be easily folded and shoved in the car truckA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentio
21、ned正确答案:B解析:该题说的是:车座架和旅行婴儿车都可以被折叠起来放在车的后备箱里。第四段提到旅行婴儿车不容易折叠放在后备箱里。因此错误。22.Height of the handles is not among the features you should take into consideration when choosing a stroller for your babyA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:B解析:该题说的是:选择婴儿车的时候不需要考虑车把的高度。最后一段提到选择婴儿车需要考虑的因素中包括车把高度。因此错误。Toenail F

24、nto a certain acid.This acid interferes with a pathogen's(病原体的)ability to replicate.A beneficial byproduct of this response is that a jump start is given to the immune system,which begins to fight bacteria and infection on its own as well.Studies today show that toenail fungus is a common,infect
25、ious condition that strikes many people.It typically occurs when the immune system is down and can be difficult to eliminate from your system once contracted.Scientifically is it referred to as onychomycosis(灰指甲)which accounts for a large proportion of nail disorders and can become rather unsightly

27、 life.Various treatments are now available on the market to eliminate the fungus that causes this unpleasant condition.Applying the natural healing potential of olive leaf oil has proven to be a safe and natural way rid of this difficult ailment.When purchasing olive leaf extract,it is important to
28、purchase from a reputable company as the processing of the plant must be done carefully to ensure that the extract is potent and effective.When consuming olive leaf extract it is important to start slowly to prevent what is known as Herxheimer reaction or"die-off."However,this outcome only
29、 happens when large doses are taken quickly.If the treatment begins slowly and is gradually increased,this response to detoxification is rarely seen at all.It is a preferable course of treatment to ingest a small amount of capsules on a daily basis to relieve toenail fungus.It is necessary to comple
30、te this therapy until the fungus is completely extinguished.Even as the fungus dies and the toenail starts to clear it is critical to persist with the course until the infected portion has grown out altogether.This toenail fungus cure should be accompanied by future preventions so that this will not
31、 occur again by keeping toenails clean and hygienic and to always keep them protected when visiting public areas where toenails are exposed.1.Olive trees require leuropein to survive any harsh weather situations or attacks from insectsA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:A解析:该题说的是:橄榄树需要橄榄苦甙是为了对抗艰苦的环境
32、和虫害。文章第一段第四行到第六行说明了这一点。2.The acid generated from oleuropein can strengthen a pathogen's ability to replicate.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:B解析:该题说的是:橄榄苦甙转化成的一种酸能加强病原体的复制能力。第一段倒数第三行提到这种酸能够干扰病原体的复制能力。注意“interfere with”意为“干扰”。3.Toenail fungus cannot pass from one person to another even with c
33、lose contacts.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:B解析:该题说的是:趾甲真菌即使在紧密接触的情况下也不会在人与人之间传染。第二段第一句提到趾甲真菌是普遍的传染性的。与该题说法矛盾。4.Onychomycosis can be ugly but not painfulA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:B解析:该题说的是:灰指甲会不美观,但不疼。第二段提到灰指甲不美观还会疼痛。5.There isn't any effective treatment on the market to eliminat
34、e the toenail fungus,but medical experts are trying their best to develop a therapy for thatA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:B解析:该题说的是:有效治疗趾甲真菌的药还没有上市,但医疗专家正在努力研制。第三段第二句提到市场上可以买到多种去除趾甲真菌的疗法。6.The olive oil extract should be put on the infected toenails by a small amount at the beginning,and then
35、the doses can be increased little by littleA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:A解析:该题说的是:一开始要将少量的橄榄油精华涂于患处,之后在一点一点的增加用量。文中第四段提到了这种疗法的副作用,如果开始用量太大,会造成“坏死”。慢慢增加用量可以降低防止不良反应。7.When the fungus dies and the toenail starts to clear,the treatment can endA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned正确答案:B解析:该题说的是:当真菌死了,趾
36、甲开始变清澈时,就可以停止治疗了。第五段提到即使真菌死了,趾甲开始清澈,也还要继续治疗直到感染的趾甲完全长出脚趾为止。因此,该题说法不正确。Yeast Infection(酵母菌感染)Most of us suffer from fungal infections at some time or another during our life.Many of these infections occur in the superficial part of our body or in the skin.Fungal infections are transferable and some c
