16、 $25.D. The opportunity to buy the magazine at its lowest price.【答案】1. C 2. D 3. BBPeople 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 ab
17、out the common cold: nothing 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
18、its medicine rather than 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
19、how antiviral drugs work. 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 be
20、fore they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(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 contribute to the common cold, but drugs t
21、hat work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C.This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses, study leader Professor Ann C. Palmenberg at the University of Wiscons in Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years
22、 after the discovery of rhinovirus 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
23、 longer have to waste our money on medicines that dont really work.4. 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.5. How do antiviral drugs work?A. By break
24、ing up cold viruses directly.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.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite simila
25、r.B. Scientists have already 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.7. What is the best title for this passage?A. Drugs against cold virusesB. He

CCIf 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 a
27、pp on your smartphone, which will then play 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
28、cancelling sounds.The company that designed 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 lou
29、d slurping sound.”Unfortunately for visitors, 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 broug
30、ht instant noodles to the world nearly 70 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 on
31、ly planning a limited run of 5,000 forks 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 chew
32、ers, which is probably of greater concern to sensitive western friends.8. 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

It describes a famous Japanese noodle company.D. It explains a phrase “noodle harassment”.【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. BDMusic
35、 died here last spring，or rather，it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high school curriculum.The committee decide that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can
36、explore their interests in the arts.Because the school system 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 classes.They are failing because the“academic”
37、classes are in deficiency in a way.It is painful to think 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 c
38、allings if they are not exposed to the arts in school.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 we
