If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused
39、 by viruses, they are very different illnesses.Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a runny nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.Flu is a much more serious illness and is caused by different group of vir
40、uses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they dont disappear for at least two weeks. F
41、lu can be a deadly disease. The elderly, who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection (预防针) before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely worth it.

46、. The Different Symptoms of a Cold and FluC. Prevention Is Better Than Cure D. Cover Your Nose and Mouth When SneezingCThe accuracy of scientific observations and calculations is always at the mercy of the scientists timekeeping methods. For this reason scientists are interested in devices that give
47、 promise of more precise timekeeping.In their search for precision, scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating(摆动；震动)atoms or molecules to supply their “ticking”. This is possible because each kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration. The ni
48、trogen(氮) atom in ammonia(氨；氨水), for example, vibrates or “ticks” 24 billion times a second.One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose no more than a second in 3,000 years. It will be of great importance in fields such as astronomical observation and long-range navigation. The h
49、eart of this atomichron is a cesium(铯) atom that vibrates 9.2 billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water.An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecule may be used to check the accuracy of predictions based on Einsteins relativity theories, according to which a cl
50、ock in motion and a clock at rest should keep time differently. Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at a speed of 18.000 miles an hour, the clock could broadcast its time readings on a similar model. Whatever differences develop would be checked against the differences predicted.64. Scientists ex
51、pect that the atomic clocks will be _.A. more precise B. absolutely accurate C. more durable D. indestructible65. The heart of the atomichron is_.A. a cesium atom B. an ammonia moleculeC. a nitrogen atom D. a hydrogen atom66. From the selection, we may assume that temperature changes _.A. affect onl

Which of the following is implied but NOT stated?A. precise timekeeping is clearly essential in science.B. scientists expect to disprove Einsteins relativity th
53、eories.C. Atomic clocks will be important in space flight.D. the rate of vibration of an atom never varies.D Schools told: Give students test scores in private（原创） BEIJING, Sep. 29，2006 - Chinese students long accustomed to being publicly praised or rebuked（vt.斥责, 指责）over their test scores will soon

55、y the Ministry of Education on Sunday. The ministry said the ban aims to reduce pressure placed on early grade children by pushy parents and teachers, and prevent student depression. Chinese teachers, who usually see test scores as the best indicator of talent, often praise those who perform well an
56、d frown upon those who lag behind during the decades-old ritual of handing out test papers in class. The notice also bars local education authorities from setting up key schools or key classes within a school, which are given higher funding levels and are assigned the best teachers and students. Pub
57、lic education resources should not be concentrated on building or supporting a few model schools, the notice says. And resources within a school need to be allocated in a balanced manner. The measures would not be applicable to high schools, where students lead the most rigid and stifled life as the
58、y prepare for the fiercely competitive college entrance exam, according to the ministry. The notice received a warm welcome from the public. More than half of the 1,500 comments left by netizens（网民） on S, one of the biggest Chinese news websites, said the measures are encouraging. Sun Min, mother of
59、 an 8-year-old girl in Nanjing, East Chinas Jiangsu Province, said she applauds the ban as children should not be regarded as good or bad based on their scores. Its a kind of discrimination, she said. Lou Guaiguai, a 14-year-old Beijing girl, said she is happy that she does not have to endure the ne
60、rvous moment when teachers hand out exam papers. However, some parents worry that they might not know how their children perform at school without the ranking. The public also question whether the ministrys policies can be enforced in local schools. An anonymous comment on Sina argued that it is imp

65、ublic readers D. high school students EEven facts “forgotten” by people during a busy day may be retrieved if this is followed by a good nights sleep.Researchers from the University of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple wordsMany found their memories letting them down towards the end of the
66、 day, but the following morning, those who had slept well could recall much more.Researchers, writing in the journal Nature, said the brain could “rescue” lost memories during the night.When the brain is first asked to remember something that memory is laid down in an “unstable” state, meaning that
67、it is possible that it could be lostAt some point, the brain consolidates those it deems important into a “stable”, more permanent stateHowever, the Chicago researchers suggested that it was possible for a “stable” memory to be made “unstable” againThis would mean that memories could be modified the

83、句的Sunday显然是指“一个星期天”。at church=in church“作礼拜”，若church指具体的某一个教堂，则需用定冠词或不定冠词。23. D。考查定语从句。read在这里的意思是“（文字材料上）写的是”；which引导一个非限制性定语从句。 24. D。考查连词。该句是以that引导的主语从句的一般疑问句。25. B。考查固定搭配。句意是：有特殊技能的工人在工作中或在他们自己的事业中都很成功。enjoy a lot of success固定词组，相当于be very successful。26. B。考查形容词。这是three times as large as it was
84、 in size的省略形式。 27. B。考查代词。选出该题的正确答案的关键是如何看待cities like Shanghai and Jakarta，意为诸如Shanghai and Jakarta这样的城市。所以，人口在2010年能达到2亿的城市应远不止两个。28. C。考查并列句理解。题干前后两句应该为转折关系，故用but。29. A。考察副词。根据句意，空格处应表示“否则”之意。30. C。考查动词时态。前句表示“没听清楚”应指过去；后句解释当时说的内容应用过去进行时，故选C项。31. D。考查情态动词。was / were able to 和could 在疑问句和否定句中的作用是一样
85、的。但是，在肯定句中，was/were able to 表示成功地做成了某一件事，而could则表示过去有能力做某事。32. B。考查固定搭配。turn out后应跟to do/to be/well等;work out“锻炼、结果”应跟well等副词；go out“熄灭、出去”都不合题意。句意“我们所有的努力都有好的结果”，故pay off“有好的结果”符合题意。33. D。考查非谓语动词。题干中which she made与concern均作定语修饰comments，由于其后有宾语，故用v-ing形式作后置定语。34. C。考查动词时态。由于2008 Olympic Games还没到，显然应
86、该是从报道之前到现在以及将来都得为此作努力，故用现在完成进行时态才能准确地体现出语境要求。35. B。考查交际用语。B项意为“太好了”，只有它符合语境表达。完形填空是一篇议论文。作者在短文首段提出他自己的观点，他喜欢寒冷的冬夜，因为它能得到更多的阅读时间。接着作者提出阅读是负担还快乐？由于阅读可以享受故事中的乐趣，阅读就变成了一件最令人快乐的事；读好书不仅可以提高我们的语言水平，更能了解其文化。作者最后得出结论：酣畅淋漓地读上一本书，它能让你在寒冷的冬夜倍感温暖。36. A。文章的开头就交待了时间，在那么寒冷的冬天，人们大部分时间是在室内度过。37. C。由于寒冷等诸多不便，许多人讨厌冬天。3
87、8. D。下文有暗示，work意为“努力/ 劳动”。39. B。读书是测验你在某方面的知识或能力。test sb on sth. 测验某人在某方面的知识或能力。40. A。由句中but可知，下文与上文意义相反。对我和许多其他的人来说，读书是最愉快的事。41. C。下面紧接着讲述读书的好处。沉浸在某本书中能将寒冷驱走。42. D。那灰蒙蒙的天空岂能与小说指环王中Frodo的诱人的冒险故事，或Jane Austen所著的小说Emma爱玛中那浪漫的肇事者的故事以及The Catcher in the Rye 麦田守望者中的年轻的Holden Caulfield的烦恼相比。match 是名词，意为：匹
88、配，相称。43. A。这些书有趣并写得很好，投合年轻人的兴趣。appeal to 投合兴趣或心愿。44. C。由下文many high school students dont enjoy reading the books可知此处用unfortunately表示“遗憾地，不幸地”。45. B。不喜欢读书是因为读书是学校作业的一部分。46.

90、充实，不要虚度大学生活。57. C。事实细节题。从第一段可知，伴随着大学生活的开始，新思想开始出现，新挑战开始面临，新未来开始萌芽，故C项最符合题意。58. B。词义推断题。综合第二段判断，作者指的some of us这类人属于已经很好地吸收了前人大学经验的人，因此他们肯定知道自己该做些什么，不该做什么，也正是对know-how的解释。59. C。推理判断题。综合前两段可知，大学生应该知道在校园里要为什么而奋斗。A项与原文的意思相反，B项太片面了，D项加了“at least”太绝对化，均与题意不符。60. D。 这是一篇科普读物，介绍伤风感冒和流感有何不同以及要注意的事项。从第四段的 Flu

C。由文章的最后两句话可知：将原子钟置于以每小时18，000英里的速度运行的人造卫星中，它的报时应相对一致，如果有任何的时间的改变，我们都可以根据预测的时间差异检查到(运行的速度是否有变化)。由此，我们可以推断，原子钟对于太空飞行有着重要意义。68. B。从第三段The ministry said the ban aims to reduce press
93、ure placed on early grade children by pushy parents and teachers, and prevent student depression.可知。69.

C。第一段的意思是：如果晚上睡个好觉，即使白天由于忙碌而“遗忘”的一些事情也可以重新回忆起来。也就是好的睡眠有益于帮助记忆。73. D。根据第五段知道，参加试验的12名志愿者收听了通过语音合成器产生的特别难懂的单词。刚开始还给志愿者提供单词脚本，但是后来就要求他们仅仅通过声音来辨别单词。故

C。第四段提到However, the Chicago researchers suggested that it was possible for a “stable” memory to be made “unstable” again一旦记忆变成稳定状态之后还有可能变得不稳定的，故C选项不对。【录音材料】Text 1W: Where did
