The WHO’s official total number of Ebola cases has reached 13,703 – a big jump from the10,141 cases it reported four days ago. But Dr Aylward said that was mainly the result of the data being updated with old cases, rather than new cases arising.

―Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing

a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely,‖ Dr Aylward said.

However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in

the epidemic (传染病). ―I’m terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control,‖ he said.

Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to ―an oscillating(震荡的) pattern where the

disease moves up and down‖.

The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better

contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from Ebola patients.

In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. ―We’re still seeing this thing

in parts of Sierra Leone,‖ Dr Aylward said

Tracing the progress of individual patients, the WHO estimates an overall death rate of 70 percent,

though people who receive treatment in a well-equipped clinic are slightly less likely to die. The WHO plans to set up 56 Ebola clinics with 4,700 beds in West Africa. Of these 15 clinics with 1,050 beds are already operational and another 22 clinics are expected to open during November.

Meanwhile, two former NATO(北约) secretaries-general and dozens of leading European politicians

have urged the alliance to send troops, aircraft and ships to west Africa to help contain the Ebola crisis. 51. In the first paragraph, ―cautious optimism‖ probably refers to ______ A. Ebola under control thanks to WHO’s caution B. the decline of new Ebola cases though not defeated C. celebrations on the downturn in Ebola in Liberia D. More treatment and relief supplies to West Africa

52. Why did Dr Aylward urge people not to celebrate prematurely? A. Because celebrations may increases infections. B. Because the pattern of the disease is up and down. C. Because people may be misled to cease the battle. D. Because we are getting an upper hand on the virus.

53. Which of the following didn’t contribute to the improvement in Liberia? A. better contact tracing C. safer burial practices

B. more treatment facilities D. data updated with old cases

54. According to the text, ― A. very severe

B. extremely hot

C. on fire

D. well received

It was a bitter cold evening in northern Virginia many years ago. The old man’s beard was glazed by winter’s frost while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became numb and stiff from the frigid north wind.

It was long before he heard the faint, steady rhythm of hooves (马蹄) along the frozen path. Anxiously watching several horsemen coming up, he let the first one pass by without any effort to get his attention, then another passed by, and another. Finally, the last rider drew near where the old man sat like a snow statue when old man caught his eyes and said, ―Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?‖

Stopping his horse, the rider replied, ―Sure! Jump aboard.‖ Seeing the old man unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman got down to help him. The horseman took him not just across the river, but to his destination just a few miles away.

As they approached the tiny but cozy cottage, the horseman’s curiosity caused him to inquire, ―Sir, I noticed you let several other riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you immediately asked me for a ride. I am curious why, on such a bitter night, you would wait and ask the last rider. What if I had refused and left you here?‖

The old man looked the rider straight in the eyes and replied, ―I reckon I know people pretty good. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately found no concern for my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need.‖

Those heart-warming comments touched the horseman deeply. ―I’m so grateful for what you have said,‖ he told the old man. ―May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.‖

With that, Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the White House. 55. Why didn’t the old man ask the previous riders for a ride? A. Because he was waiting for the last rider. B. Because his efforts failed to get their attention. C. Because he assumed they had no concern for him. D. Because he was too numb to lift his half-frozen body. 56. What caused the last rider to stop and help the old man? A. the old man’s poor situation C. his own affairs

B. The old man’s warm comments D. kindness and sympathy

57. What do you know about the old man? A. He judged people by looking into their eyes. B. He lived in a cozy cottage a few miles away. C. He gave the last rider an opportunity to help. D. He recognized the president at first sight. 58. Which can be the best title of this text? A. look into your eyes C. the last rider to help

B. compassion of a great man D. return to the White House C

It is said that a great many things about languages are mysterious, and many will always be so. But some things we do know.

Most job applicants have a general list before a job interview—updating a résumé, ironing a professional suit, rehearsing an explanation for those two years spent after college. However, if tidying up the Facebook profile isn’t on that list, maybe it should be.

The study, which questioned 2,667 managers and human resource workers, found that 35 percent of employers decided not to offer a job to a candidate based on the content uncovered on a social networking site. The report showed that Facebook was the most popular online destination for employers to do their online sleuthing(侦查), followed by LinkedIn and MySpace. In addition, 7 percent followed job applicants on Twitter. More than half of the employers who participated in the survey said that provocative(挑衅) photos were the biggest factor contributing to a decision not to hire a potential employee, while 44 percent of employers aimed at references to drinking and drug use as red flags. Other warning signs included bad-mouthing of previous employers and colleagues and poor online communication skills. While most of these may seem like obvious blocks, what consists of alarming behavior to a particular employer? Would photographs of a trip to the beach be considered inappropriate? To be on the safe side, it’s probably wise to use the new privacy settings offered by Facebook to keep everything but the most innocuous (无伤大雅的) content

The World Health Organization has for the first time expressed ―cautious optimism‖ that the growth in new Ebola cases in West Africa may be slowing down.

Bruce Aylward, who is in charge of the WHO response to Ebola, said in Geneva that he was particularly encouraged by evidence of a downward trend in Liberia, one of the three worst-affected countries.

WHO’s official total number of Ebola cases has reached 13,703 – a big jump from the10,141 cases it reported four days ago. But Dr Aylward said that was mainly the result of the data being updated with old cases, rather than new cases arising.

―Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely,‖ Dr Aylward said.

However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in the epidemic (传染病). ―I’m terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control,‖ he said.

Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to ―an oscillating(震荡的) pattern where the disease moves up and down‖.

The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from

Ebola patients.

In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. ―We’re still seeing in parts of Sierra Leone,‖ Dr Aylward said

Meanwhile, two former NATO(北约) secretaries-general and dozens of leading European politicians have urged the alliance to send troops, aircraft and ships to west Africa to help contain the Ebola crisis.

51. In the first paragraph, ―cautious optimism‖ probably refers to ______

A. Ebola under control thanks to WHO’s caution

B. the decline of new Ebola cases though not defeated

C. celebrations on the downturn in Ebola in Liberia

D. More treatment and relief supplies to West Africa

52. Why did Dr Aylward urge people not to celebrate prematurely?

A. Because celebrations may increases infections.

B. Because the pattern of the disease is up and down.

It is said that a great many things about languages are mysterious, and many will always be so. But some things we do know.

Firstly, we know that all human beings have a language of some kind. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. In historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.

Secondly, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are underdeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have guessed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.

A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. This means each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

Finally, we know that language changes. It’s natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

59. In the 2nd paragraph the author thinks that________.

A．some backward races don’t have a language of their own

B．some races in history didn’t possess a language of their own

C．any human race, whether backward or not, has a language

D．some races on earth can communicate without a language

60. As the author says, people of underdeveloped cultures can have________languages.

A．complicated B．uncivilized C．primitive D．well-known

61. American Indian languages are mentioned to prove that they are________．

A．as fully developed as some well-known languages

B．more primitive than some well-known languages

C．more complex than some well-known languages

D．just as primitive as some well-known languages

62. According to the author, language changes are most likely to appear in________．

A．grammar B．vocabulary C．intonation D．pronunciation

Sensing phantom phone vibrations(手机虚幻震动) is a strangely common experience. Around 80% of us have imagined a phone vibrating in our pockets when it’s actually completely still. Almost 30% of us have also heard non-existent ringing. Are these signs of madness caused by digital culture? Not at all. In fact, phantom vibrations and ringing indicate a fundamental principle in psychology.

Psychologists use a concept called Signal Detection Theory to guide their thinking about the problem of perceptual(感知的) judgments. Working through the example of phone vibrations, we can see how this theory explains why they are a common and unavoidable part of healthy mental function.

When your phone is in your pocket, the world is in one of two possible states the phone is either ringing or not. You also have two possible states of mind the judgment that the phone is ringing, or the judgment that it isn’t. Obviously you’d like to match these states in the correct way. True vibrations should go with ―it’s ringing‖, and no vibrations should go with ―it’s not ringing‖. Signal detection theory calls these faithful matches a ―hit‖ and a ―correct rejection‖

But there are two other possible combinations you could mismatch true vibrations with ―it’s not ringing‖ (a ―miss‖); or mismatch the absence of vibrations with ―it’s ringing‖ (a ―false alarm‖). This second kind of mismatch is what’s going on when you imagine a phantom phone vibration.

What does that mean in terms of your phone? We can assume that people like to notice when their phone is ringing, and that most people hate missing a call. This means their perceptual systems have adjusted their bias(偏向) to a level that makes misses unlikely. The unavoidable cost is a raised likelihood of false alarms of phantom phone vibrations.

The trade-off between false alarms and misses also explains why we all have to put up with fire alarms going off when there isn’t a fire. It isn’t that the alarms are badly designed, but rather that they are very sensible to smoke and heat and biased to avoid missing a real fire at all costs. The outcome is a rise in the number of false alarms. These are inconvenient, but nowhere near as 63. The writer tries to explain phantom phone vibrations A. by analyzing some facts B. by giving some examples

C. from the angle of biology D. from the angle of psychology

64. According to the writer, the sense of phantom phone vibration is A. strange and mad B. harmful but avoidable

C. common and unavoidable D. universal but unhealthy

65. When we judge correctly that ―it’s not ringing‖, this is called a ―‖.

A. hit B. miss C. false alarm D. correct rejection

66. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?

A. Better late than never. B. Better safe than sorry.

C. Fight over the smallest things. D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

Life can be difficult, particularly for adolescents. Many young people get through the troubled years of adolescence and emerge into adulthood reasonably safe and sound. Too many youngsters, however, feel confused and ignored. Unable to climb out of the dilemma, these youngsters are socially and emotionally ―at-risk‖. They may suffer from such painful symptoms as anxiety, depression or anger.

Many parents, in an honest attempt to help their adolescent from emotionally drowning, seek professional treatment. They put a great deal of faith in professional clinicians to find a way out for their child. However, many of these parents begin to recognize that solving the problem is more complex than they had initially realized. It has been my clinical experience that some parents who bring their resistant youngster for treatment see their child as being solely responsible for the problem. In many cases, the adolescent feels angry and defective for being pushed into treatment.

We can gain some insight if we look at things through the eyes of the adolescent. The child is usually reluctantly brought by the parents to clinicians as what I call the ―identified patient‖. The youngster waits anxiously as the parents lay out the problem with the clinicians with remarks such as, ―I don’t know what’s happening to my child lately, but he’s not his old self. He doesn’t listen to me anymore, has been getting failing grades, acts out at school, and stays in his room all the time.’’ Such descriptions at the beginning of treatment by the parents may strengthen feelings of incompetence on the part of the child. Such a pattern at the beginning sets up an intention of

第三节阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

The event that stands out in my memory happened one morning in 1983 when I was 14 years old. I was at home with my mother, getting ready for the afternoon session of school.

I was doing my homework when I heard raised voice. At first I thought nothing of it---customers in the motorcycle shop directly below us often became unruly and loud, but I soon realized this was different.

“Quick! Remove the motorcycle from the shop.” someone yelled.

Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When I opened the front door of our flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke, billowing up from the ground floor, greeted me. The motorcycle shop had caught fire.

My mum, who had been working in the kitchen, hurried to the living room. We rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke.

We were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Mum stopped in her tracks. She turned around and headed back the way we came. I had no idea what she was doing, but I followed suit.

Mum had suddenly remembered the Korean lady in her 70s who lived next door to us, who we called Makcik. Mum began banging on her door, As the smoke thickened around us, I could see many of our neighbors---some still in their pajamas----running for safety.

“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” I cried.

Mum refused to give up. “I know she is still inside,” she said as she pounded the door. “Go downstairs, Shaji. Go now!”

However, frozen with fear, I stood rooted to the spot. By then, both of us were coughing and our eyes were stinging. Time seemed to stand still, though we were probably there for only two or three minutes.

Just as I was beginning to choke, the door opened. Makcik stood there, totally confused. Mum was right---she had been unaware of what was happening. Grabbing her hand, Mum led Makcik downstairs and outside to a safe spot where people had gathered to witness the fire.

The firemen had just arrived and set about fighting the blaze, which was reaching up to the second floor above the motorcycle shop.

Comprehending the gravity of the situation, Makcik broke down. Holding my mother’s hands tightly, and with tears flowing down her cheeks, she spoke to Mum. I could not hear what she said, but there was no mistaking her gratitude. I learned later that Makcik was sleeping when the fire broke out.

I dread to think what would have happened if Mum had not turned back for her. Soon the firemen put out the billowing flames. There were no deaths and injuries, though the motorcycle shop was completely destroyed.

Although the fire had damaged our corridor badly, it was put out before it could spread into our flat. Our home had been saved, though everything was covered in soot and an awful smell hung in the air. And, sadly, my pet lovebirds were dead.

I felt terrible for not saving them in my haste. However, the thought of Mum’s courageous act in saving a human life brought great relief.

Years later, I asked Mum about this incident. She said that she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. When I asked if she was scared, Mum replied, “When a loved one is in danger, the thought of fear never crosses the mind.”

During my school days, whenever I wrote an essay about courageous deeds, I always focused on soldiers risking their lives to save others. It never occurred to me to write my mum who had, in her determined way, saved our elderly neighbor. Today I know better. Maria Thomas, a timid and modest lady, someone who would not be mistaken for a superhero, had turned out to be my real hero. 36. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. the author knew nothing about the Korean lady living next door B. no damage was caused because the fire was put out immediately C. firemen made no attempt to rescue those trapped in the building D. makcik survived the big fire owing to my mum’s timely rescue 37. Receiving no response from Makcik, Mum refused to leave because _____. A. she was sure that the fire wouldn’t threaten her life B. she knew for sure Makcik was indoors, sleeping

C. she was informed that Makcik was in desperate need of help D. she was convinced that Makcik was too scared to move 38. What does the underlined part “” most probably mean? A. to one’s disappointment B. worse still C. without success D. in one’s absence 39. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

Suddenly, all twenty-eight kids raced to Peter and 48 him with hugs and pats on his back, cheers, and laughter. It was like the prodigal son had returned home.

“Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely,” Dr Aylward said.

However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in the epidemic (传染病). “I’m terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control,” he said.

Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to “an oscillating(震荡的) pattern where the disease moves up and down”.

The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from Ebola patients.

In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. “We’re still seeing in parts of Sierra Leone,” Dr Aylward said

Tracing the progress of individual patients, the WHO estimates an overall death rate of 70 percent, though people who receive treatment in a well-equipped clinic are slightly less likely to die. The WHO plans to set up 56 Ebola clinics with 4,700 beds in West Africa. Of these 15 clinics with 1,050 beds are already operational and another 22 clinics are expected to open during November. Meanwhile, two former NATO(北约) secretaries-general and dozens of leading European politicians have urged the alliance to send troops, aircraft and ships to west Africa to help contain the Ebola crisis.

51. In the first paragraph, “cautious optimism” probably refers to ______

A. Ebola under control thanks to WHO’s caution

B. the decline of new Ebola cases though not defeated

C. celebrations on the downturn in Ebola in Liberia

D. More treatment and relief supplies to West Africa

52. Why did Dr Aylward urge people not to celebrate prematurely?

A. Because celebrations may increases infections.

B. Because the pattern of the disease is up and down.

C. Because people may be misled to cease the battle.

D. Because we are getting an upper hand on the virus.

53. Which of the following didn’t contribute to the improvement in Liberia?

A. better contact tracing B. more treatment facilities

C. safer burial practices D. data updated with old cases

54. According to the text, “

It was long before he heard the faint, steady rhythm of hooves (马蹄) along the frozen path. Anxiously watching several horsemen coming up, he let the first one pass by without any effort to B

get his attention, then another passed by, and another. Finally, the last rider drew near where the old man sat like a snow statue when old man caught his eyes and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?”

Stopping his horse, the rider replied, “Sure! Jump aboard.” Seeing the old man unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman got down to help him. The horseman took him not just across the river, but to his destination just a few miles away.

As they approached the tiny but cozy cottage, the horseman’s curiosity caused him to inquire, “Sir, I noticed you let several other riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you immediately asked me for a ride. I am curious why, on such a bitter night, you would wait and ask the last rider. What if I had refused and left you here?”

The old man looked the rider straight in the eyes and replied, “I reckon I know people pretty good. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately found no concern for my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need.”

Those heart-warming comments touched the horseman deeply. “I’m so grateful for what you have said,” he told the old man. “May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.”

With that, Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the White House.

55. Why didn’t the old man ask the previous riders for a ride?

A. Because he was waiting for the last rider.

B. Because his efforts failed to get their attention.

C. Because he assumed they had no concern for him.

D. Because he was too numb to lift his half-frozen body.

56. What caused the last rider to stop and help the old man?

A. the old man’s poor situation B. The old man’s warm comments

C. his own affairs D. kindness and sympathy

57. What do you know about the old man?

A. He judged people by looking into their eyes.

B. He lived in a cozy cottage a few miles away.

C. He gave the last rider an opportunity to help.

D. He recognized the president at first sight.

58. Which can be the best title of this text?

A. look into your eyes B. compassion of a great man

C. the last rider to help D. return to the White House

When your phone is in your pocket, the world is in one of two possible states the phone is either ringing or not. You also have two possible states of mind the judgment that the phone is ringing, or the judgment that it isn’t. Obviously you’d like to match these states in the correct way. True vibrations should go with “it’s ringing”, and no vibrations should go with “it’s not ringing”. Signal detection theory calls these faithful matches a “hit” and a “correct rejection”

But there are two other possible combinations you could mismatch true vibrations with “it’s not ringing” (a “miss”); or mismatch the absence of vibrations with “it’s ringing” (a “false alarm”). This second kind of mismatch is what’s going on when you imagine a phantom phone vibration.

C. Fight over the smallest things. D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

The report showed that Facebook was the most popular online destination for employers to do their online sleuthing(侦查), followed by LinkedIn and MySpace. In addition, 7 percent followed job applicants on Twitter. More than half of the employers who participated in the survey said that provocative(挑衅) photos were the biggest factor contributing to a decision not to hire a potential employee, while 44 percent of employers aimed at references to drinking and drug use as red flags. Other warning signs included bad-mouthing of previous employers and colleagues and poor online communication skills.

While most of these may seem like obvious blocks, what consists of alarming behavior to a particular employer? Would photographs of a trip to the beach be considered inappropriate? To be on the safe side, it’s probably wise to use the new privacy settings offered by Facebook to keep everything but the most innocuous (无伤大雅的) content away from the public eye.

61. Your general list before a job interview should include all the following EXCEPT __________.

A. rehearsing what the employer would say to you

B. preparing appropriate clothes

C. tidying up your information on social networks

D. a written form of your education and previous jobs

62. Why should the job seekers use the new privacy setting offered by Facebook?

A. To keep everything from being seen by others.

B. To allow photographs of a trip to the beach seen on line freely.

C. To keep the employers from seeing the inappropriate content.

D. To allow the employers to see the inappropriate content.

These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before. They were brave, hostile（怀敌意的）and aggressive they would not take orders, and shouted “Amandla！” at every opportunity. Their instinct was to confront rather than cooperate. did not know how to handle them, and they turned the island upside down. During the Rivonia Trial, I remarked to a security policeman that if the government did not reform itself, would some day make theauthorities miss us. That day had indeed come on Robben Island.

In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times. I had had some warning. On a visit with Winnie a few months before, she had managed to tell me through our ③ who were violent and Africanist in beliefs. She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them.

These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before. They were brave, hostile（怀敌意的）and aggressive they would not take orders, and shouted ―Amandla！‖ at every opportunity. Their instinct was to confront rather than cooperate. did not know how to handle them, and they turned the island upside down. During the Rivonia Trial, I remarked to a security policeman that if the government would some day make theauthorities miss us. That day had indeed come on Robben Island.

In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times. I had had some warning. On a visit ③ who were violent and Africanist in beliefs. She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them.

The new prisoners were shocked by what they considered the inhuman conditions of the island, and said that they could not understand how we could live in such a way. We told them that they should have seen the island in 1964. But they were almost as sceptical of us as they were of the authorities. They chose to ignore our calls for discipline and thought our advice weak and unassertive（不果断）.

（温和派）. After so many years of being branded a radical revolutionary, to be seen as a moderate was a novel and not altogether pleasant feeling. I knew that I could react in one of two ways: I could scold them for their disrespect or I could listen to what they were saying. I chose the latter.

Shortly after their arrival on the island, the commanding officer came and asked me as a favour to address the young men. He wanted me to tell them to behave themselves, to recognize the fact that they were in prison and to accept the discipline of prison life. I told him that I was not prepared to do that. Under the circumstances, they would have regarded me as a follower of the authorities.
