Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to

8、tell if the cause is a cold or flu（流感）may make a difference in how long the misery lasts. The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu, and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. Thats because the prescription drugs available for

9、the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come. The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three virus

10、es flu A, B and C. There is no care for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine（疫苗）, which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA. But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, the

11、re are some obvious signs to look for. Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a ever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms inc

12、luding fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come, it suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms. The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like

13、symptoms. Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome（综合症）, a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system. There i

14、s, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.11.According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help _.A) shorten the duration of the illnessB) the patient buy med

15、icine over the counter.C) the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugsD) prevent the people from catching colds and the flu12.We learn from the passage that _.A)one doesnt need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the fluB) aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicines for the fl

16、uC) delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous systemD) over-the-counter drugs can e taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the flu13.According to the passage, to combat the flu effectively, one should _.A) identify the virus which causes itB) consult a doctor as soon

17、 as possibleC) take medicine upon catching the diseaseD) remain alert when the disease is spreading14.Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?A) A stuffy nose. C) A sore throat.B) A high temperature. D) A dry cough.15.If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents _.A

18、) are advised not to give them aspirinB) should watch out for signs of Reye syndromeC) are encourage to take them to hospital for vaccinationD) should prevent them from mixing with people running a feverPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. In a time of low academic achie

19、vement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly

20、 little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 Americans preschools teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents（答问卷者）listed “to give childre

21、n a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the Americans respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading,

22、 writhing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percen

23、t of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented（强调个体发展的） Americans listed group experience as one of their top three reasons. An emphasis on school educa

24、tion. Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some

25、Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing

26、 in some Japanese kindergartens.16.We learnt from the first paragraph that many Americans believe _.A) Japanese parents are more involved in preschools education than American parentsB) Japans economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC) Japanese preschools education emphasizes acad

27、emic instructionD) Japans higher education in superior to theirs17.Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance to _.A) problem solving C) parental guidanceB) group experience D) individually-oriented development18.In Japans preschool education, the focus is on _.A)

28、preparing children academicallyB) developing childrens artistic interestsC) tapping childrens potentialD) shaping childrens character19.Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to _.A) broaden childrens horizon C) lighten childrens study loadB) cultivate childrens creati

29、vity D) enrich childrens knowledge20.Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens? They can _.A) do better in their future studiesB) accumulate more group experience thereC) be individually oriented when they grow upD) have better chances of getting a first-rate

30、 educationPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960s and 70s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated u

31、nleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly. A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions form the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland

32、. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic（北极的）snow were declining. In his new study, Dr. Boutron foun
