29、NSWER SHEET 1. 40 When a 13-year-old Virginia girl started sneezing, her parents thoughtit was merely a cold. But when the sneezes continued for hours, they called in a doctor. Nearly two months later the girl was still sneezing, thousands of times a day, and her case had attracted worldwide attenti
30、on. Hundreds of suggestions, ranging from“put a clothes pin on her nose“to “have her stand on her head“poured in. But nothing did any good. Finally, she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr. Leo Kanner, one of the world s top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling(难以理解的 )problem with g
31、reat speed. He used neither drugs nor surgery, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in an ancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze. It was all in her mind, he said, a view which Aristotle, some 3, 000 years earlier, would have agreed with heartily.
32、Dr. Kanner simply gave a modern psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too much sneezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled; and he began to treat the girl accordingly. “Less than two days in a hospital room, a plan for better scholastic and vocational adjustment, and re
33、assurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer to an ex-sneezer, “ he reported. Sneezing has always been a subject of wonder, awe and puzzlement. Dr. Kanner has collected thousands of superstitions concerning it. The most universal one is the custom of beggi
34、ng for the blessing of God when a person sneezes a practice Dr. Kanner traces back to the ancient belief that a sneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit. Strangely, people over the world still continue the custom with the traditional, “God bless you“ or its equivalen
35、t. When scientists look at the sneeze, they see a remarkable mechanism which, without any conscious help from you, takes on a job that has to be done. When you need to sneeze you sneeze, this being nature s clever way of getting rid of an annoying object from the nose. The object may be just some du
36、st in the nose which nature is striving to remove. 41 The girl sneezed continuously because she_. （ A） was ill （ B） was mentally ill （ C） had heavy mental burden （ D） had attracted world-wide attention 42 When the girl began to sneeze continuously, _. （ A） a lot of people offered their advice （ B） s
37、he was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital （ C） she was given a treatment found in ancient superstition （ D） many doctors treated her in different ways 43 Dr. Kanner cured the girl by_. （ A） using Aristotles method （ B） giving her psychological treatment （ C） practicing superstition （ D） treating her tu
38、berculosis 44 When a person sneezes, we say “God bless you “because_. （ A） its a tradition （ B） the person is possessed of an evil spirit （ C） the person is ill （ D） God will bless those who sneeze 45 According to scientists, people sneeze because_. （ A） they are ill （ B） to sneeze is human nature （
39、 C） they do not need any conscious help （ D） there are unwanted things in their noses 45 There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the wors
40、t air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the
41、very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil)is creating a “greenhouse effect“ conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising th
42、e world s average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water. Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in th
43、e atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth s temperature a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for
44、sure that either of these conditions will happen(though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world s temperature will stay about the same
45、 as it is now. Driven by economic profit, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the “ advanced civilization“. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile? 46 As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, peop
46、le used to think that air pollution_. （ A） caused widespread damage in the countryside （ B） affected the entire eastern half of the United States （ C） had damaged effect on health （ D） existed merely in urban and industries areas 47 As to the greenhouse effect, the author_. （ A） shares the same view
47、 with the scientists （ B） is uncertain of its occurrence （ C） rejects it as being ungrounded （ D） thinks that it will destroy the world soon 48 The word “offset“ in the second paragraph could be replaced by_. （ A） slip into （ B） make up for （ C） set up （ D） catch up with 49 It can be concluded that_
48、. （ A） raising the world s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth （ B） lowering the world s temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster （ C） almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade （ D） the world s tempe
49、rature will remain constant in the years to come 50 This passage is primarily about_. （ A） the greenhouse effect （ B） the burning of fossil fuels （ C） the potential effect of air pollution （ D） the likelihood of a new ice age Part B Directions: Read the text, match the items (61-65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below.
