It might not be so unusual for a student to run a school newspaper. But when it comes to    1  the school newspaper of Harvard, it’s definitely a   2   story.

May Habib is now in her fourth year at Harvard. She    3    works 40~50 hours for the newspaper every week in addition to being a full-time student.   4   such a busy schedule(日程表), she has no time for lessons sometimes, not to mention   5   . “But it’s one of the best experiences in my life so far.” She said.

One of the most important stories May    6    is the Harvard AID research program in Africa. Harvard was given a huge amount of    7    from the White House to do research into AIDS. A female professor at the school was in   8   of the project. But top administrators at the university thought the professor shouldn’t do the job because it was so   9   a program that just a professor couldn’t oversee the project .    10    they took her off the project and put in a director.

     By talking to the professor, May found that the administrators   11  funding(撥款) on the program for five months. She called a Nigerian doctor   12    and was told that about 420 deaths in the program were    13   to the delay of the money. She thought that Harvard administrators didn’t take into account (把…考慮在內(nèi)) that effect  14    they made the decision.

   “ That was really an important story. The second year the funding    15    and I was told that the funding was    16    not released. So I started making phone calls. Two days    17  , they released the funding. They did it so quickly because of the press, though I was a little student, ” May said   18   .

    May is a happy girl. “ My secret to stay   19  is optimism (樂觀). My optimism is sort of realism,” she said , “I think I’m a lucky person. Even if I didn’t go to Harvard, I would be happy   20   .”

科目:高中英語 來源:2014屆江西南昌三中高三8月第一次月考英語卷(解析版) 題型:其他題

[1]Some people's ears produce wax like busy little bees. This can be a problem even though earwax appears to serve an important purpose. Experts say it protects and cleans the ear. It traps dirt and other matter and keeps insects out. Doctors think it might also help protect against infections. And the waxy oil keeps ears from getting too dry.

[2]So earwax is good. It even has a medical name: cerumen. And there are two kinds. Most people of European or African ancestry have the "wet" kind: thick and sticky. East Asians commonly have ___________.But you can have too much of a good thing.

[3]The glands(腺體) in the ear canal that produce the wax make too much in some people. Earwax normally falls out of the ear or gets washed away. But extra wax can harden and form a blockage that interferes with sound waves and reduces hearing. People can also cause a blockage when they try to clean out their ears,but only push the wax deeper inside. Earwax removal is sometimes necessary. But you have to use a safe method or you could do a lot of damage.

[4]Experts at N.I.H., the National Institutes of Health, suggest some ways to treat excessive earwax yourself. One way to remove wax is known as irrigation. With the head upright, take hold of the outer part of the ear. Gently pull upward to straighten the ear canal. Use an injector device to gently direct water against the wall of the ear canal. Then turn the head to the side to let the water out.

[5]The experts at N.I.H. say you may have to repeat this process a few times. Use water that is body temperature. If the water is cooler or warmer, it could make you feel dizzy. Never try irrigation if the eardrum is broken. It could lead to infection and other problems.

[6]After the earwax is gone, gently dry the ear. But if irrigation fails, the best thing to do is to go to a

 health care provider for professional assistance.

1.What’s the purpose of the passage? (No more than 10 words)

___________________________________________________________________.

2.What’s the bad effect of too much earwax on our hearing? (No more than 15 words)

____________________________________________________________________.

3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (No more than 3 words)

____________________________________________________________________.

4.What does the underlined word “this process” (Line 1, Paragraph 5) probably refer to?

(No more than 2 words)

____________________________________________________________________.

5.Will you use freezing water when trying to remove earwax? Why or why not?

(No more than 10 words)

____________________________________________________________________.
