GENEVA(Reuters) -Pregnant women and other people at high risk should be vaccinated(注射疫苗) against the H1N1 swine flu virus as the cold weather begins to bite in the northern hemisphere(半球), the World Health Organization(WHO) said on Tuesday.
It voiced concern that some vulnerable(弱勢的) people don’t have access to the pandemic(傳染病) vaccine, which the WHO stressed had not caused any unusual side effects in hundreds of thousands of people to have received it worldwide so far.
“Certainly the fact that the vaccine isn’t being used by those who would have access to it and who would be in priority risk groups is of concern, yes,” WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told a news briefing.
At least 5, 712 people have died from the swine flu virus, according to the United Nations agency. Health workers, pregnant women and people with conditions such as asthma are deemed at greatest risk and should be top priority for getting the shot.
“We have seen many, many examples of people in high risk groups such as pregnant women who have very severe disease or outcomes. These outcomes could be in all likelihood avoided if one were to get vaccinated,” Hartl said.
Unlike seasonal flu, which is most dangerous to the elderly, H1N1 is hitting younger adults and children especially hard.
The WHO recommends a single vaccine dose for protecting adults against H1N1. It has also urged governments to consider giving a single dose to as many children under age 10 as possible, but says more research is needed into child dosages.
In the United States, studies show that children under the age of 9 will need two doses of the vaccine to be fully protected, officials there said on Monday.
Parts of North America and Europe have already crossed the epidemic (流行病) threshold( 開始了), ahead of the normal influenza season which peaks in January-February for the northern hemisphere, WHO says.
51.According to the passage, what is WHO probably most concerned about now?
A. Whether the vaccine has side effect or not.
B. How many people are infected by the H1N1 swine flu virus.
C. Whether pregnant women and those at high risk can get the vaccination.
D. What is the difference between H1N1 and seasonal flu.
52.According to the passage, what group of people are more vulnerable to H1N1 swine flu virus?
A. The elderly.                  B. A teenager with asthma. 
C. An adult with heatstroke.               D. A newly-born baby.
53.In paragraph 4, “getting the shot” means ____________.
A. being shot      B. being vaccinated     C. being cured     D. getting killed
54.What can we learn from this passage?
A. Pregnant women will surely get severe disease if infected with H1N1.
B. Seasonal flu is more likely to hit younger adults and children.
C. one more dose of vaccine should be given to the children under 9.
D. About 6000 people have died from seasonal flu.
55.   Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Pregnant women need flu shot. 
B. Differences between H1N1 flu and seasonal flu.
C. The harm caused by H1N1 swine flu virus.
D. A breakthrough in H1N1 cure: vaccination.

PART FOUR WRITING
SECTION A（10 points）
Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage．
Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer．
Television the most popular and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth – is moving into a new ear, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.
The world “television”, derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Lation (vision: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image (focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulse, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.
Television is more than just an electronic system, however. It is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication.
The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad – based airwave transmission of television signals. Second, there is no broadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.
Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBD, who have been the major purveyors（供應(yīng)商）of news, in formation, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her doll. And I will never forget the words she said, ever though it was pretended.
She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very good. She didn’t listen to a word I said or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was obvious that she’d been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up, I just don’t know what to do with her anymore. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach…And she doesn’t know how to fold towels. I don’t have the time to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play —don’t you know what I mean?”
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her words that cut me like a knife. I hadn’t been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear.
But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I realize…I’ve seen the world in a different light through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs have the corners and the dustbunnies rule the floor, I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore.
I’m going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother…For we are granted only one childhood, and we will never get another.
1. What was the little girl doing with her doll?
A. She was dressing up her doll.    
B. She was playing the doll with her friend Suzie.
C. She was talking to her mother.   
D. She was punishing her doll.
2. Which statement is TRUE about the mother’s behaviors before that day?
A. She spent a lot of time with her daughter talking to her.
B. She was busy cleaning the house with little time spared for her daughter.
C. She didn’t show her love to her child.
D. She always dressed up baby dolls with her daughter.
3. What do the underlined words “cobwebs” and “dustbunnies” probably refer to?
A. A happy atmosphere inside the home.   
B. All her d aughter’s toys
C. Happy memories of a child           
D. Things that kept the mother busy
4. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?
A. Daughter and Her Doll         B. Daughter’s Words
C. Only One Childhood           D. A Busy Mother’s Change

When Winsion Chruchill was a young man, his father concluded that Churchill was “unfit for a career in law or politics” because he did so badly in school.
When Charles Darwin was getting ready to  36  on his five-year expedition on The Beagle, his father was extremely  37  . he thought his son was falling into a life of sin and idleness.
Gorge Washington’s mother was a complaining,   38  woman by all accounts. She thought little of Washington’s achievements and didn’t   39  at either of his presidential inaugurations（就職典禮）. She was always  40  that her children overlooked her and she was especially angry when her son George ran off to  41  the army for the American Revolution. She   42  believed it was his duty to stay home and take care of her.
In his youth, the  43  Leonard Bernstein, one of the most talented and successful composers in American history, was continually pressured by his father to  44  his music and do something worthwhile, like help out in his family’s beauty-supply business. After Leonard became  45  , his father was asked about that, and he answered, “Well, how was I supposed to know he was the Leonard Bernstein?”
People may criticize you or make fun of your ideas or actively try to  46  you. Often their efforts are only attempts to protect you from  47  . But obviously failure is only a possibility if you stop. If you keep  48  , a “failure” is just another learning  49  . Besides, giving up on a heartfelt goal is worse than failing. “Many people die”, said Wendell Holmes, “with their  50  still in them.” That’s true tragedy.
So listen  51  to the worries and criticisms of your friends and family, and do your best to put their minds  52  , but then carry on. Listen last to your own heart. You   53  yourself better than anyone on earth. Make sure your song is  54  .
Listen to your own heart. Don’t let your music   55  with you.

Jewelweeds are pretty flowers that grow in wet, shady spots all over the Northern Hemisphere. According to a recent experiment, they seem to know their own flower family —or at least, recognize whether or not they came from the same mother plant. Together with other through their leaves, but through their roots.
Scientists planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings（兄弟姐妹）or strangers. Sibling plants were grown from seeds that came from the same mother plant. Stranger plants were grown from seeds from different plants.
When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food.
When jewelweed seedlings were planted with siblings, they few a few more branches than they normally would if they were alone—but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.
The plants only responded this way when they shared soil. If stranger seedlings were planted in different pots and placed next to each other, for example, they did not grow more leaves. This different shows that the plants must use their roots to detect sibling plants in the same soil. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach—where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the botanists observed that when sea rockets were planed with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea prickets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots, but not extra leaves.
The different types of plants may react in different ways, but they have one thing in common: the roots. In both experiments, on Jewelweeds and sea rockets, the key was the shared soil—and other plant species may turn out to show similar behavior. These experiments, as well as earlier experiments, suggest “The phenomenon is quite common.” Says Hans de Kroonof, an ecologist in the Netherlands.
57．In Paragraph 1, the author mentions a recent experiment of Jewelweeds to___________.
A．make a comparison  B．introduce a topic
C．describe a pretty flower   D．put forward a new theory
58．What can we know from the experiments done by scientists?
A．Jewelweeds can grow in the Northern Hemisphere.
B．Jewelweeds can grow in wet, shady spots.
C．Jewelweeds are more friendly to their siblings than to stranger plants.
D．jewelweeds can recognize their siblings through leaves.
59．If jewelweeds and their siblings are planted in different pots and placed close to one another, they will___________.
A．start to grow more leaves       B．detect the strangers 
C．compete with sibling plants     D．grow normally
60．The best title of the passage would be___________.
A．Flower family knows its roots
B．The growing conditions of Jewelweeds
C．Jewelweeds and sea rockets
D．The stranger plant recognize each other
