Jeremy Wirick, 9, has been back in school for less than two months, but he has already had several asthma(哮喘)attacks. A recent attack happened on October 2, after he pushed himself too hard in gym class. Running, power walking, jogging and push-ups took their toll. When Jeremy got home an hour or two later, he was out of breath. He needed to use a nebulizer, a machine that helps send medicine quickly to the lungs, to get his breathing back to normal.

Asthma attacks like Jeremy increase in September and October. More than six times as many asthma sufferers who are elementary-school age need hospital treatment in the fall as in the summer.

Experts believe many factors can contribute to back-to-school asthma. Kids get together in close spaces, they start passing viruses around. A viral infection can cause an asthma attack. There are also certain fall allergies(過敏癥)that can cause attacks. Exercise is another common cause of an attack. Besides, the stress of school can make asthma worse.

Parents can play a big role in helping kids with asthma start the school year right. Dawne Gee’s10-year-old son, Alexander, has had asthma since he was a baby. Before the school year starts, she tells school workers in writing about her son’s asthma.

The Gees live in Kentucky, which has passed laws allowing students to carry their asthma medication(藥物治療)with them at school. Alexander’s mom makes sure he has his inhaler(人工呼吸器)with him when he goes to school and that he keeps it on hand at all times. In Delaware, where Jeremy lives, kids are allowed to carry their inhalers at school.

The American Lung Association says that about 6.2 million American children suffer from asthma. Asthma is the chronic (慢性) illness that causes students to miss the most days of school. There are many things that schools can do to help students control their asthma

A. how to prevent and treat Asthma. what Asthma is and its symptoms

【小題1】D

【小題2】A

【小題3】C

【小題4】B


解析:

【小題1】主旨大意題。文章第一段引出要討論的話題---哮喘病,接著作者介紹了哮喘病的起因及治療方法,最后指出父母和學(xué)校應(yīng)該有責(zé)任幫助孩子們治療和預(yù)防哮喘病。故最佳答案為D。

【小題2】句意理解題。根據(jù)上下文的介紹:Jeremy患有哮喘病,上完體操課感到氣喘,不得不借助nebulizer使呼吸回復(fù)正常。這說(shuō)明體育鍛煉嚴(yán)重影響他的健康。故答案為A。

【小題3】正誤判斷題。由第二段可判斷A項(xiàng)正確;由第三段最后一句Besides, the stress of school can make asthma worse.可判斷B項(xiàng)正確;由第五段可判斷D項(xiàng)正確。而C項(xiàng)文中沒有提及,符合題意。

【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段可以判斷A、C、D都是引起哮喘病的原因,只有B項(xiàng)沒有提到。

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2011-2012學(xué)年上海市十校高三第二次聯(lián)考英語(yǔ)試題 題型:其他題

 Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. Don’t overlook talented people around you

B. Seize the opportunity when it comes up

C. Stay humble

D. Find the system that works for your style

E. Keep Honest Forever

F. Work hard

1. __________

Lin(Jeremy Shu-How Lin)got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him. They had too many injuries. Baron Davis was gone. The other point guards were out. Carmelo Anthony was injured. Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death. Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed. But he made the most of it. You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life. Often, they’re when you least expect them. Make the most of them. Don’t waster them.

2. __________

Lin isn’t Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. He’s not a pure scorer. He’s a passer and distributor – who can also score very well. It didn’t work for him in Golden State or Houston – where he was before landing at the Knicks. But Mike D’Antoni’s system at the Knicks has been perfect for him to show off his strengths. You’ve got to do your best to understand what your strengths are and then ensure that you’re in a system (a job or organization or industry) that is a good fit for those strengths. Otherwise, people overlook the talents you bring to the table.

3. __________

You probably manage people at your own company today. Are you sure you don’t have a Jeremy Lin living among you now? How do you know that “Mike” couldn’t do amazing things if you gave him a new project to run with? How do you know “Sarah” isn’t the right person to take the open job in London that you’ve been talking over with your colleagues? We put people around us in boxes. He’s from Harvard. He’s Asian-American. Not sure he can play. How many assumptions have you made about talent around you? Don’t be like the General Managers in Golden State and Houston, and let talent slip through your fingers. With all their money, scouts(球探), and testing, they didn’t have a clue what they had in their hands. Do you know what your people (or even yourself) are really capable of? Take off the blinders of assumptions you wear when you look at the world.

4. __________

If you one day are lucky enough to have newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get to your head. It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all this media craze. It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more.

5. __________

Lin couldn’t have seized his opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting his skills. There are no short cuts to hard work. Success is a by product of that. If you’ve got a Tiger Mom who’s always pushed you to work hard, great. If not, let your conscience be your own Tiger Mom! Get up early, stay up late. Nobody gave Lin any free passes. Why should you get any? You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know.
