15.The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the spread of mosquito-born Zika virus a global public health emergency.On Monday,the global health agency held an emergency meeting in Geneva after warning the public that Zika is spreading"explosively"across the Americas.Dr.Margaret Chan,the director-general of the WHO,said after the meeting that the cases of microcephaly,which is a birth disease in which babies are born with very small heads and underdeveloped brains,in regions with Zika cases,"become an extraordinary event and a public health threat to other parts of the world."
Last week,health officials confirmed one case of the virus in Denmark,five in Great Britain,three cases in the United States and 18in its territory of Puerto Rico.The global health organization also predicts that Zika could infect as many as four million people in the Americas this year.
The symptoms from the virus are minor.The symptoms are flu-like and include a rash (皮疹).But the results for some infected with Zika--namely pregnant women--are destructive.The WHO suspects the virus may have something to do with brain disorders in babies.Health experts highly suspect there may be a link between the illness and microcephaly.However,a definite link between Zika and microcephaly has not been proven.
World Health Organization spokesman Gregory Hartl has this to say,"So,one of the curiosities is why we have so many neurological (神經(jīng)學(xué)的) cases in the northeast of Brazil,but we have not had it in other places.So,we really need to understand what is existing that causes these microcephaly cases,for example,in children."
Hartl does not agree with claims that the Zika virus could lead to a threat similar to that of Ebola (埃博拉病毒).He says that Ebola is transmitted by contact with bodily fluids (體液) from person to person and kills about 50percent of its victims."Zika has never killed a person and it is transmitted by the mosquito.So,we know that there are those two basic differences at least.Let us say that Zika on its own would not be the consideration of an emergency committee.What is the concern to the international community is the possible link with neurological disorders."

(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)
78.The cases of microcephaly are generally seen in the placeswhere there are Zika cases/with Zika cases.
79.Who should pay special attention to the infection of the virus to avoid its terrible result?Pregnant women should.
80.What puzzles the health experts about the cases of microcephaly?The cases only appear in the northeast of Brazil.
81.What causes the global concern is that the mosquito-born Zika virus maycause microcephaly/be the cause of microcephaly/be linked to neurological disorders/brain disorders in babies.

分析 本文主要論述了一種以蚊子傳播的病毒---寨卡病毒對人類有的危害.

解答 78題,where there are Zika cases/with Zika cases細(xì)節(jié)推理題. 根據(jù)第一段 the cases of microcephaly…,in regions with Zika cases,可知microcephaly通常發(fā)生在受到寨卡病毒攻擊的地方.可以用where引導(dǎo)的一個(gè)定語從句來概括.或者簡單點(diǎn)用with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu).
79題,Pregnant women should.細(xì)節(jié)概括題.But the results for some infected with Zika--namely pregnant women--are destructive這句在第三段,可得出,孕婦最有可能被這種病毒感染.
80題.The cases only appear in the northeast of Brazil.The cases only appear in the northeast of Brazil.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.第四段,one of the curiosities is why we have so many neurological (神經(jīng)學(xué)的) cases in the northeast of Brazil,but we have not had it in other places這句話告訴我們這種病毒感染讓科學(xué)家很好奇,為何只發(fā)生在巴西東北部.可以提煉答案為only appear in the northeast of Brazil.
81題.cause microcephaly/be the cause of microcephaly/be linked to neurological disorders/brain disorders in babies細(xì)節(jié)理解題.最后一句話What is the concern to the international community is the possible link with neurological disorders."
可知,讓全球人比較擔(dān)心的是這個(gè)靠蚊子傳播的病毒可能和神經(jīng)紊亂有關(guān)聯(lián).另外一種可能是這個(gè)病毒會帶來頭小畸形.所以答案不是唯一.考生要能根據(jù)文本找到相關(guān)答案.

點(diǎn)評 本文是人物故事類的閱讀表達(dá),要求學(xué)生在閱讀理解的基礎(chǔ)上,根據(jù)短文后的題目,在文中找到相關(guān)的內(nèi)容,并用簡潔、準(zhǔn)確的句子,將理解的內(nèi)容,書面表達(dá)出來.做題時(shí),注意表達(dá)的內(nèi)容不要超出規(guī)定的字?jǐn)?shù).

20.Proxemics (空間關(guān)系學(xué)) is the study of what governs how closely one person stands to another.People who feel close will be close,though the actual distances will vary between cultures.For Americans we can detect four main categories of distance:intimate (親密的),personal,social and public.Intimate ranges from direct contact to about 45 centimeters.This is for the closest relationships such as those between husband and wife.Beyond this comes personal distance.This stands at between 45 and 80 centimeters.It is the most usual distance maintained for conversations between friends and relatives.Social distance covers people who work together or are meeting at social gatherings.Distances here tend to be kept between 1.30 to 2 meters.Beyond this comes public distance,such as that between a lecturer and his audience.
All cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what is an inappropriate social distance for different types of relationship.They differ,however,in where they draw these lines.Look at an international reception with representatives from the US and Arabic countries talking and you will see the Americans pirouetting (快速旋轉(zhuǎn)) backwards around the hall pursued by their Arab partners.The Americans will be trying to keep the distance between themselves and their partners which they have grown used to regarding as"normal".They probably will not even notice themselves trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their partners,though they may have vague feeling that their Arab neighbors are being a bit"pushy".The Arab,on the other hand,coming from a culture where much closer distance is the pattern,may be feeling that the Americans are being"stand-offish".Finding themselves happier standing close to and even touching those they are in conversation with they will persistently pursue the Americans round the room trying to close the distance between them.
The appropriateness of physical contact varies between different cultures too.One study of the number of times people talking in coffee shops over a one-hour period showed the following interesting variations:London,0; Florida,2; Paris,10; and Puerto Rico 180.Not only does it vary between societies,however,it also varies between different subcultures within one society.Young people in Britain,for example,are more likely to touch and hug friends than are the older generation.This may be partly a matter of growing older,but it also reflects the fact that the older generation grew up at a time when touching was less common for all age groups.Forty years ago,for example,footballers would never hug and kiss one another on the field after a goal as they do today.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)
78.What govern the standing space between two persons in proxemics?Relationships
79.The underlined word"stand-offish"in Paragraph 2 most probably means"cold/distant/keeping others at arm's length/not easily getting along".
80.Why may Arabs pursue Americans in a conversation at an international reception?
Because they try to close the distance between them
81.What can be inferred from the last paragraph is that the appropriateness of physical contact also varies withtime.
