16、D. The opportunity to buy the magazine at its lowest price.BPeople have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over the counter medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (治疗) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: n
17、othing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so its easy to believe its medicine rather th
18、an time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figure out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral drugs wo
19、rk. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design
20、an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhino virus (鼻病毒) A and B. But they didnt find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A an
21、d B have little little effect when used against rhinovirus C. “This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses,” study leader Professor Ann C. Palmenberp at the University of Wiscons in Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhi
22、novirus C, scientists have finally built a highly detailed 3D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our m
23、oney on medicines that dont really work.24. What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A. They are quite effective.B. They are slightly helpful.C. They actually have no effect.D. They still need to be improved.25. How do antiviral drugs work?A. By breaking up cold viruses direc
24、tly.B. By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C. By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D. By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.26. What can we infer from the passage?A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B. Scientists have alr
25、eady found a cure for the common cold.C. Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D. Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.27. What is the best title for this passage?A. Drugs against cold viruses.B. Helpful home remedies.C.
26、 No current cure for a common cold.D. Research on cold viruses.CIf youve ever been annoyed by the sound of someone eating, especially as they noisily slurp (出声地吃) noodles, dont worry, youre not alone.A company has recently designed a fork that connects to an app on your smartphone, which will then p
27、lay noise cancelling sounds if you happen to slurp your noodles too loudly.The fork was designed with a microphone in its handle that is trained to recognize the sound of slurping. The microphone will then send a signal to the phone app, setting off the noise cancelling sounds.The company that desig
28、ned the fork, called Otohiko fork, was inspired by what is called “noodle harassment” by social medians, which is running wild in Japan.“The Japanese, who generally dislike noisy eating, consider it proper and even preferable to suck up ones noodles with a loud slurping sound.”Unfortunately for visi
29、tors, however, such enthusiastic slurping tends to grate on their nerves, which is what leads to the creation of the phrase “noodle harassment” in the first place.The company behind the fork, Nissin, is the very same company that invented Cup Noodles，who brought instant noodles to the world nearly 7
30、0 years ago, so they are definitely worried about whether or not foreigners are put off by the sound of slurping noodles.The fork is being sold for a good $130, but those bothered enough by noodles slurpers will likely find it well worth the money.Nissin is only planning a limited run of 5,000 forks
31、 for the time being, which can now be pre-ordered only through their website.The company is planning to begin releasing them just in time for the holidays. Of course, it still remains to be seen if the fork can be programmed to drown out the sound of loud chewers, which is probably of greater concer
32、n to sensitive western friends.28. From the passage we can know that _A. a microphone in the Otohiko forks handle is designed to cancel the slurping soundB. all the Japanese will be encouraged to use the Otohiko fork.C. the Otohiko fork is not available now in real shopsD. the Otohiko fork will defi
33、nitely silence the sound of loud chewers29. What does the underlined word “harassment” mean?A. DisturbanceB. PreferenceC. CancellationD. Division30. The new fork will be the most helpful for _.A. western visitors to JapanB. fans of Japanese noodlesC. the spread of Japanese cultureD. the reform of Ja
34、panese food31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. It tells good news to western visitors.B. It introduces a noise cancelling fork.C. It describes a famous Japanese noodle company.D. It explains a phrase “noodle harassment”.DMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of
35、the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high school curriculum.The committee decides that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts. Because the school syst
36、em is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classesthey are failing because the “academic” classes are in deficiency in a way.It is painful to thin
37、k of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their callings if they are not exposed to the arts in schoo
38、l. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to c
39、reate and express feelings through the arts there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledgecertainly not a good preparation for the real world.32. Music and drama are rem
