Jason had been watching the X Games on TV. Athletes from all over the world were competing in the most amazing sports. Just then his grandmother walked into the room. “I want to be extreme. Would you really let me do that? You always worry about my safety!” said Jason.

“You will have to follow some rules,” said his grandmother. “You can only ride in the park — never on the streets. You have to promise to wear a helmet (頭盔). If you hurt yourself too much, I have the right to take your skateboard away. Is it a deal?”

“You bet!” Jason was so excited that he jumped off the sofa. A week later he had a board and a helmet.

On Saturday, his grandmother dropped him off near the park. He was happy to have a grandmother who let him try new things.

Kids in the park were moving quickly up and down the ramps (坡道). They flew into the air and landed as easily as birds. When he watched the X games, Jason felt like he was doing the tricks himself. But watching these kids up close, he knew that none of it was going to be easy. He felt a little bit scared.

Very slowly he carried his board to the ramp. Taking a deep breath, he put his right foot on the board. He kicked off with his left foot. For a few seconds he glided (滑行) along, just waiting to fall. Then he came to a stop. Kicking off again, he waited for the worst to happen. Again, he stayed up. The third time he kicked, lost his balance, and fell hard on his left knee.

It hurt, but it was no big deal! Why had he been so scared? Now he felt calm because things had gone wrong, and he was fine!

Next time he kicked off harder and went fast and farther. “Excellent!” said a girl as she passed him. “Extreme!” laughed Jason to himself. “Not quite.”

1.Jason’s grandmother agreed to let him try skateboarding unless _____.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2016屆江蘇省蘇北四市高三上學(xué)期期中質(zhì)量抽測(cè)英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

An oral drug, named ERDRP-0519, was invented. It is specifically designed to protect people who got infected measles(麻疹) from spreading the virus to others. Like the flu, measles spreads through the air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. There is typically a time, about two weeks, between becoming infected with the virus and the beginning of symptoms like skin rash(皮疹), runny nose, heavy cough and high fever.

“This therapy application determines the desired characteristics of the drug, which are orally available, cost-effective manufacture and high stability,” Richard Klemperer, professor of Georgia State University, told reporters last Wednesday.

“With these criteria in mind, we have developed a small drug that blocks the measles virus over the past years, which is essential for copy of the virus.”

The researchers tested the drug in rats infected with canine distemper virus(犬瘟病) , which is a close relative of measles virus. They found that all of the infected rats treated with the drug survived the deadly infection, showed no clinical signs of disease and developed a strong protective immune response.

The drug could be used to treat friends, family and other social contacts of a person infected with measles virus, which have not developed symptoms yet but are at risk of having caught the disease, Klemperer said truthfully.

“The emergence of strong antiviral immunity(抗病毒免疫力) in treated animals is particularly encouraging, since it suggests that the drug may not only save an infected individual from disease but contribute to closing measles immunity gaps in a population,” Klemperer said.

The researchers emphasized the drug is not intended as a substitute for vaccination, but as an additional weapon to get rid of the measles. They planned to test the drug’s safety in larger animals, before moving into clinical trials in humans.

“If our next series of studies confirms that the human situation mirrors what we have seen in rats, then this drug may make a major contribution to getting rid of measles by preventing local outbreaks” Klemperer said.

Despite the existence of an effective vaccine, annual measles deaths worldwide have remained constant at around 150,000 since 2007. The reasons for this are the highly infectious nature of the virus, in the developing world largely due to issues of resources, and in many developed countries in particular in the European region due to parental concerns regarding vaccination safety.

1.If a boy got infected by measles virus, he might NOT show the symptom like ________.

A. runny nose B. bad cough

C. high fever D. sick stomach

2. From what Klemperer said, we know that the drug _________.

A. is only intended as a substitute for vaccination

B. can only save those infected individuals from disease

C. is cost-effective and high stability for curing measles

D. has the same effect on human as on larger animals

3.The best title of the passage is_________ .

A. the Introduction of a New Oral Drug

B. the Desired Characteristics of Drugs

C. the Common Symptoms of Getting Measles

D. the Application of Post-exposure Therapy

Everyone knows that eating too much junk food is not good to our health. Yet, what is it about junk food that is so completely irresistible(無(wú)可抗拒的)? For one thing, it’s everywhere. From chips in fast food restaurants to candy in supermarkets, junk food always seems available. Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking.

Make friends with dainty(講究的) eaters.

Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in.

See happy movies and always get the smaller bag of popcorn(爆米花).

According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movie, compared to when they are watching a comedy. Viewers consumed almost 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when given a medium-sized container.

Eat breakfast.

Nutritionists have gone back and forth(來(lái)來(lái)回回)about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good breakfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight-loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising.

Divide your food and conquer overeating.

Any kind of dividing your food into portions slows down your eating. Any kind of marker makes you aware of what you’re eating and of portion size. Researchers advise reallocating(再分配)snack foods into small plastic bags. It sounds simplistic, but it works.

1.Why do people eat too much junk food though it is bad for our health?

A. It’s delicious from chips to candy.

B. Because it’s available here and there.

C. It’s easily taken everywhere.

D. It’s easily bought in fast food restaurants.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. If people are watching a tragedy, they eat up to 29% more popcorn.

B. People are likely to eat more food when staying with friends.

C. Nutritionists have the same opinion about how much to eat in the morning.

D. People prefer to snack from a large bucket.

3.What will he or she do if he or she wants to lose weight?

A. To eat nothing in the morning.

B. To get up early and to go to bed late.

C. To eat breakfast and exercise.

D. To snack from a medium-size bucket.

In 2012, the Tower of London welcomed two new inhabitants: a pair of ravens(烏鴉) named Jubilee and Grip. Their arrival celebrated the bicentenary(二百周年) of Charles Dickens’s birth. This Grip was the third of the Tower ravens to be named after the novelist’s own pet birD. One of his predecessors(前輩) was resident during World War Two; he and his mate Mabel were the only ravens to survive a bombing attack on the Tower.

Dickens’s Grip, who had an impressive vocabulary, appears as a character in the author’s fifth novel, Barnaby Rudge. On 28 January 1841, Dickens wrote to his friend George Cattermole: “my notion is to have [Barnaby] always in company with a pet raven, who is immeasurably more knowing than himself. To this end I have been studying my bird, and think I could make a very distinctive character of him.”

Unfortunately, just a few weeks after Dickens wrote that letter, Grip died, probably as a result of having stolen and eaten paint some months earlier. The bird had developed a strange habit – tearing sections off painted surfaces (including the family's carriage) and even drinking a quantity of white paint out of a tin. Dickens mourned his loss and wrote a humorous letter to his friend, the illustrator Daniel Maclise, about the raven’s death.

He related how, when Grip began to show signs of sickness, the vet was called and “administered a powerful dose of castor(蓖麻) oil”. Initially this seemed to have a positive effect and the author was thrilled to see Grip restored to his usual personality when he bit the coachman (who was used to the raven and took it in good humor). The following morning, Grip was able to eat “some warm porridge”, but his recovery was short liveD.

As Dickens wrote to Maclise, “On the clock striking twelve he appeared slightly upset, but soon recovered, walking twice or thrice along the coach-house, stopped to bark, exclaimed ‘Hello old girl’ (his favorite expression) and dieD. He behaved throughout with a decent manner, which cannot be too much admireD. .. The children seem rather glad of it. He bit their ankles. But that was play.”

1.Which of the following is right about Dickens’s pet Grip?

A. he liked painting a lot.

B. he could speak English fluently.

C. he was quite ill before his death.

D. he and Mabel survived a bombing attack.

2.Why did Dickens study his bird Grip?

A. Because the bird was very strange looking.

B. Because Dickens liked the bird immeasurably.

C. Because Barnaby needs a companion who was always with him.

D. Because Dickens wanted to base one character of his novel on him.

3.What caused the death of Dickens’s Grip?

A. His old age.

B. His strange diet.

C. The killing of the coachman.

D. His bad habit of biting people.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. A bird in a novel.

B. The writer’s birD.

C. The death of a birD.

D. Dickens and his bird
