12.Measles (麻疹),which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more,was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine (疫苗).But the disease is making a comeback,caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly.Already this year,115 measles cases have been reported in the USA,compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small,but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend.When vaccination rates are very high,as they still are in the nation as a whole,everyone is protected.This is called"herd immunity",which protects the people who get hurt easily,including those who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons,babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn't work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in.When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride,immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That's exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County,California,where 22 measles cases were reported this month,to Brooklyn,N.Y.,where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades,and it is driven by a real but very small risk.Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out (決定不參加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten.Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption (豁免),sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now,several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out.But no one does enough to limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons.But personal opinions?Not good enough.Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide,but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.
 
32.The first two paragraphs suggest thatA
A.a(chǎn) small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
B.the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C.a(chǎn)nti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D.information about measles spreads quickly
33.Herd immunity works well whenB
A.exemptions are allowed
B.the whole neighborhood is involved in
C.several vaccines are used together
D.new regulations are added to the state laws
34.What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?A
A.The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
B.The lack of medical care.
C.The features of measles itself.
D.The overuse of vaccine.
35.What is the purpose of the passage?B
A.To introduce the idea of exemption.
B.To stress the importance of vaccination.
C.To discuss methods to cure measles.
D.To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.

分析 本文是強(qiáng)調(diào)接種疫苗的重要性.由于一些人不愿意接種疫苗,導(dǎo)致麻疹卷土重來(lái),很多人因此喪生.最后作者建議國(guó)家不能允許一部分人不接種麻疹疫苗.

解答 32-35.ABAB
32.A 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解.根據(jù)"Measles (麻疹),which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more,was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine"以及"The numbers might sound small,but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend"可知,麻疹會(huì)發(fā)展成危險(xiǎn)的疾病,能殺死很多人,故選A.
33.B 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解.根據(jù)"But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in"可知,群體免疫只有當(dāng)幾乎所有的群體都參與進(jìn)來(lái)時(shí)才會(huì)起作用,故選B.
34.A 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解.根據(jù)"Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer"可知,是由于一些人不愿意接種疫苗,導(dǎo)致麻疹卷土重來(lái).故選A.
35.B 考查主旨大意.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,由于一些人不愿意接種疫苗,導(dǎo)致麻疹卷土重來(lái),很多人因此喪生.所以本文是強(qiáng)調(diào)接種疫苗的重要性.故選B.

3.Weight loss is a hard topic.Lots of people aren't satisfied with their present weight,but most people aren't sure how to change it.You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines or on TV,but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you.(36)B

Small changes are a lot easier to keep than large ones.Try reducing the amount of what you eat.Try cutting down the fat in your daily meals.(40)C.Once you have kept that down,start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.

19.Rebecca,who is a 25-year-old woman,has a rare condition.She can remember all the events she has experienced in her life.The events are so vivid,as if they happened just moments ago.But her vivid memories often become a reality.Rebecca said,"When I relive memories,the emotions come back.So if it's something that happened when I was younger,my emotions are about what I felt then.I also re-experience pain.For example,I remember falling over and hurting my left knee when I was three.When talking about it now,I'm getting pain in my left knee."
However,there are times when Rebecca's memories prove to be too overwhelming,and she has learnt relaxation and mindfulness(聚神) techniques to solve."At school,it is a hindrance.I'm not very quick at processing things,so there is always so much going through my mind.At night,I have to sleep with the radio on and a soft light.If it's too dark or quiet,my mind just recalls all these memories and I can't sleep,"Rebecca said.
In addition,Rebecca has no control over whether the memories she recalls will be positive or negative-recalling painful experiences with such vividness that she has suffered from post-traumatic (創(chuàng)傷后的) stress disorder.Rebecca said,"Recently,I went back to my old school for my sister's high school graduation.Being in that building again brought all those memories flooding back.I burst into tears and had to leave."
Rebecca and her mother Mrs.Barnes got in touch with the University of California in 2011.It was there that Rebecca knew she had Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM).It's reported that Rebecca is one of just 80people worldwide,who have HASM."Finding out about HASM has been such a positive experience.Now,Rebecca has been more positive and able to do things independently,which has been excellent,"Mrs.Barnes said.

28.What's wrong with Rebecca?D
A.She hardly sleeps well at night.
B.She usually gets hurt easily by others.
C.She can't distinguish between reality and dreams.
D.Her vivid memories lead her to experience sufferings.
29.What does the underlined word"hindrance"mean in Paragraph 2?B
A.Priority.
B.Difficulty.
C.Advantage.
D.Opportunity.
30.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?C
A.Rebecca had a strong dislike of going to school.
B.Rebecca was moved to tears at her sister's graduation.
C.Rebecca and her sister once studied in the same school.
D.Rebecca enjoyed a happy life during her high school years.
31.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that RebeccaA.
A.has got her life improved gradually
B.was influenced by her mother to be positive
C.was admitted into the University of California
