There is a joke among flu researchers: “If you've seen one flu season, you've seen one flu season.” The joke is about the unpredictable nature of the flu virus. Every year it looks different, and every strain (類型) follows its own pattern — it's the reason why new strains like H1N1 are extremely difficult to predict.
Dr. Michael Osterholm is a former adviser to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “I know less about influenza today than I did 10 years ago,” he says in a joking way. “Every stone we've turned over, we get more questions.”
The flu rectums every season and the world experiences terrible pandemics (全國或全世界范圍流行的疾病), but researchers still do not understand why some strains infect people and others do not; they are not entirely sure about how the flu is transmitted; nor do they understand why some patients become seriously ill while others develop mild symptoms (癥狀). As a result, when a new strain shows up — like H1N1 — they often have little information to fall back on, and the lessons of previous pandemics are only somewhat helpful. While researchers are still putting together a complete picture of H1N1, for example, its most striking difference with the seasonal flu is that the elder1y are not the most vulnerable (易受攻擊的) population.
Influenza's unpredictable nature makes it a moving target for researchers, says researcher Allison Aiello at the University of Michigan. “Even if we had complete seasonal flu data from the past, it wouldn't be much helpful for a new strain of influenza,” she explains.
Whi1e researchers are frustrated by the holes in their knowledge, they say, however, that the pub1ic--health community is generally doing a very good job responding to H1N1 with seasonal flu data that do exist. Studying influenza, says Osterholm, is “l(fā)ike looking through the windows of a house you can't get into because the door is locked.” Gathering the data researchers do have is like “l(fā)ooking through the windows to get a pretty good picture of what the inside looks like.”
One thing researchers do know for sure: the best way for people to protect against H1N1 is to get the vaccine once it becomes available to them.
What do we learn about H1N1 from the passage?
A. In fact it is not a kind of influenza virus.
B. It is quite possible to predict it in theory.
C. Old people are more likely to contract it than kids.
D. Receiving vaccines will be effective to protect against it.
The underlined phrase “fall back on” in Para. 3 probably means .
A. rely on B. pass on C. col1ect D. exchange
What do we know about previous seasonal flu data?
A. It is useless to study them.
B. It is still necessary to study them.
C. They are misleading most of the time.
D. They are much more helpful than expected.
Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Outbreaks of the flu B. Symptoms of the flu
C. Mysteries of the flu D. Risks of the flu

第二節(jié)讀寫任務(wù)(共1小題,滿分25分)
閱讀下面的短文, 然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
When I was a little girl ,my mother always told me what I should do and not .What I can remember is that when I was in the primary school, I didn’t want to go to school because I hated the math teacher who used to punish me for I didn’t finish my homework on time. Instead of forcing me to go to school, my mother just told me if I didn’t go to school my friends and my teachers would not like me anymore. What’s more, she told me I should not hate the math teacher on account of my fault and never hate anybody if I wanted to be likable. Since that time, I have known that being likable is very important.
While I was growing up, I read a lot of books in order to be a likable person. There is a famous writer, Dale Carnegie. He wrote a book called How to Win Friends and Influence People, which taught me a lot .Being a likable person we should respect others and become genuinely interested in other people. In my opinion, the most significant one is that we should be honest and sincere. The second way is that we should be glad to give them a hand when it is needed. Finally, I suppose that being a good listener is quite important as well. We should participate in their suffering and encourage them in time.
In a word, only if we stand by the people even when they are in the darkest time and never desert them can we be a likable in the social life.

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually lasts only a few minutes or a few hours.This kind of loneliness is not serious.In fact, it is quite normal.For some people, though, loneliness can last for years.Now researchers say there are three different kinds of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary.This is the most common type.It usually disappears quickly and does not need any special attention.
The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a certain situation, for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place.Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe.Unlike the second type, chronic (長期的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and being close to others.Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts, such as friends, family members, co-workers, etc.We depend on various people for different reasons.For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interests and activities.However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more.They question then" own popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease.While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal and healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad and sometimes dangerous condition.
1.Which of the following can be the cause of situational loneliness?
A.Sleeplessness. B.Changing work.
C.Heart disease. D.Social contacts.
2.The underlined word "it" in the last sentence of the third paragraph refers to _____ .
A.headaches B.situational loneliness
C.sleeplessness D.temporary loneliness
3.How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?
A.Just ignore it. B.Talk to friends.
C.Go to see a doctor. D.Ask your teachers for guidance.
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.People feel lonely in a certain situation.
B.There are only three types of loneliness in our life.
C.Loneliness doesn't affect people much.
D.Scientists have found ways to help habitually lonely people.
