11.A new study suggests that early exposure to germs(細菌) strengthens the immune(免疫的)system.That means letting children get a little dirty might be good for their health later in life.
The study involved laboratory mice.It found that adult mice raised in a germ-free environment were more likely to develop allergies.a(chǎn)sthma and other autoimmune disorders. There are more than eighty disorders where cells that normally defend the body instead attack tissues and organs.
Richard Blumberg,who led the study,is a professor at'Harvard Medical School in Boston,Massachusetts.He says,in 1989,medical researchers who sought to explain these diseases,first discovered that the increasing use of antibacterial soaps and other products,especially early in life,could weaken immune systems.
Now,Dr.Blumberg and his team have what is the first biological evidence to link early exposure to germs to stronger adult immune systems.They say this exposure could prevent the development of some autoimmune diseases.
In the adult germ-free mice,they found that inflammation(發(fā)炎)in the lungs and colon was caused by so-called killer T cells.These normally fight infection.But they became overactive and targeted healthy tissue-an autoimmune condition seen in asthma and a disease called ulcerative colitis.
Dr,Blumberg says the mice raised in a normal environment did not have the same reaction.He says their immune systems had been"educated"by early exposure to germs.
Rates of autoimmune disorders are rising worldwide,but mostly in wealthier,industrialized countries.According to Dr.Blumberg,it might be high time that people were warned to be more careful with the early use of antibiotics(抗生素) and the prescription from their doctors.
Rob Dunn is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.He says the new study does not mean people should stop washing."Wash your hands,but don't do it with antibacterial soap.Let your kids play in a reasonable amount of dirt and get outside and get exposed to a diversity of things",says Rob Dunn.
71.Who first found immune systems might get harmed by overly using antibacterial products?C
A.A professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
B.A professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
C.Medical researchers who tried to explain autoimmune disorders.
D.Medical researchers who tried to treat autoimmune disorders.
72.To keep healthy in the future,children had betterA.
A.play in a dirty environment once in a while
B.live in a germ-free endronrnent
C.use plenty of antibacterial soaps
D.stay in under developed countries
73.Why are germ-free mice easy to develop lung inflanunation?B
A.Because their T celh fight bacteria effectively.
B.Because their T cells attack the healthy tissues.
C.Because their lungs become abnormally active.
D.Because their lungs have weaker tissues.
74.It can be inferred from the text thatD.
A.washing hands is no longer a good habit for children
B.a(chǎn)ntibiotics will be forbidden in children's hospitals
C.exposure to dirt helps build children's character
D.the abuse of antibiotics may be condemned
75.Where does this text most probably come from?C
A.A teacher's handbook.     B.A story book.
C.A science magazine.       D.A travel journal.

Dogs Used to Be More Like Cats
Researchers studying fossils (化石) of the early ancestors of dogs that lived up to 40million years ago believe the predators (捕食性動物) evolved as a direct consequence of climate change.The study claims the (41)C transformed man's best friend from a creature that behaved more like a cat,into the canine (犬) we know and love today.
Ancestors of dogs living in North America 40million years ago were ambush (伏擊式) predators-in a(n) (42)I way to cats'.But a million years later,the thick forest that once covered the continent began to give way to grasslands.This led to a(n) (43)G in the body shape and hunting behavior of dogs,turning them into animals that no longer (44)K their prey (獵物),but chased it down instead.
This evolutionary transition was (45)F by the scientists who examined the elbows and teeth of 32species of dogs that lived between 40million and two million years ago.
"The elbow is a really good (46)A of what carnivores (食肉動物) are doing with their forelimbs (前肢),which tells their entire (47)D abilities,"said Brown University's Christine Janis,who led the study.
The research was based on an analysis of fossil specimens (標本) in the American Museum of Natural History in New York.It suggests dog evolution was directly related to climate change.After all,it was not (48)J to operate as a pursuit-and-pounce predator until there was room to run.
If predators evolved with climate change over the last 40million years,the authors argue they may continue to (49)E in response to the present global warming trend.In this way,the results of the study could help (50)B how animals may look in the future.

16.Suppose you don't need your car today.And suppose,as it happens,that a stranger in your area does need a car.Would you be willing to rent yours out?
Severalcar-sharing start-ups,including Getaround,RelayRides and JustShareIt,are eager to conneccar owners with renters this way.The companies have different rules,but participating owners receive,generally speaking,about two-thirds of the rental earnings.RelayRides says an owner of a midsize,late-model sedan who rents out a car for 10hours a week could expect to clear about$3,000a year.
Peer-to-peer car sharing remains in the trial stage; it can be found in San Francisco and a few other places.It has a long way to go before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb,the surprise success story for peer-to-peer sharing of space in apartments and houses.
Shelby Clark,founder of RelayRides,says potential investors in his company have been concerned that owners will be afraid to hand their car over to strangers.To address that,he points to Airbnb,saying,"Letting people sleep in your living room is much more of a disturbance into your personal space than letting someone use your car."
All of these companies offer their own insurance coverage for their renters,which are supposed to put owners'minds at ease.But only two states-California and Oregon-have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car-sharing renter have an accident.
"In all the other states,legal ambiguity remains,"Shelby Clark says."If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in those states,the victim can be expected to go after every party possible,including the car's owner."
Also to remove the worries of car owners,the driving records of renters are checked for recent serious violations.

56.What does the underlined word"sedan"in Paragraph 2probably refer to?D
A.A kind of car.      B.An owner of a car.
C.A renting company.  D.A car-sharing renter.
57.Which of the following is true of Airbnb?A
A.It cares little about personal privacy.
B.It deals with house-sharing successfully.
C.It is a very popular car-sharing company.
D.Its ideas are being tried out in some states.
58.If a car-sharing renter should have an accident in California,the car's ownerB.
A.has to take legal responsibility
B.will not suffer the consequence
C.is not covered by health insurance
D.must pay the insurance for the renter
59.According to the text,more car-owners will participate in the service,ifA
A.legal ambiguity is clarified in all the states
B.renters are warned not to violate traffic rules
C.more money is given to participating owners
D.people are aware of the importance of sharing
60.It can be learned from the text that car-sharingD
A.makes no profit
B.remains in popularity
C.is against the state law 
D.is a new business model.

20.One spring,when I was 10,during one of my father's layoffs,I could tell my mother was
unhappy.I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother's Day gift.
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins,which,I learned years later,was known for its high-end fashions and style.I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins,telling her I was looking for a Mother's Day present.

"You know,my son,what really amazes me to this day,"my mother said."Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough.But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I'll never forget."
