Like other counterfeits,they look like real products.But counterfeit drugs may contain too little or none of the active ingredients of the real thing.People do not get the medicine they need.And in some cases counterfeits cause death.Twenty children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen(对乙酰氨基酚).The medications contained ingredients that looked,smelled and tasted like the real thing.The medicine was produced by a local drug pany that used a dangerous substitute to save money.The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa,Asia and Latin America.The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeit.The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries.The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States,Canada,Japan,and New Zealand.But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs.Several panies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify.And there are existing methods,like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real.Other ideas include things like special tracking codes for drug packages.People could send a text message with the code and get a message back,which proves that what they bought is listed in a database.Some drug makers and other panies put three-dimensional images called holograms(全息图)on their products as a security device.24.Last year twenty children in Bangladesh died because of .

D.India.CMy father playing the violin lights up any room.To him,it is an instrument of faith,hope and charity.My mother used to joke:“Your papa would play his violin if the world was about to blow up.”Once Dad came about as close to that as could ever be possible. In the early years of the 20th century,the boll weevil (棉籽象鼻虫) began destroying the cotton farms in the southern USA.In May 1910,folks all over the nation were talking about Halleys et (哈雷彗星).There were all sorts of frightening stories about it,the main one being that the world would pass through its tail,said to be millions of miles long.Between the threats of et and weevils,the farmers were running low on optimism.One night,they gathered at our farm to discuss what to do.Will Bowen,a local man,suggested:“Charley,how about giving us a little music?”“I dont think anybody want to hear me tonight,” Dad replied.“e on,Mr Nordyke,” one of the younger women urged.“Play for us!”Dad had a knack (诀窍) for getting people in the mood for his music.He played church songs,and then shifted to war songs.By the time he had finished performing,people were stamping their feet,clapping their hands and yelling.All of our neighbors went home whistling.Very few remembered to look to see whether the et was still around.Another evening,Will Bowen called Dad on the telephone and said:“Charley,Im downhearted and blue.Could you play a tune or two for me down the phone?”Dad handed the receiver to me and then set off playing the songs he had performed that night.I could hear Mr Bowen whistling and yelling.By the time the tune was finished there were half a dozen neighbors on the line.They talked about how wonderful the music sounded over the telephone.They made numerous requests;I relayed them to Dad and he played.Our broadcasts became regular features of munity life.When the weather was bad in winter and farmers were forced to remain in the house,someone would ring us and ask Dad to play.Usually it developed into a network affair.Our phone kept ringing with requests for music until radio came into fashion.28.Why did the authors mother say so at the end of Paragraph 1?A.She believed her husband had the ability to save her world.B.She thought her husband could always get strength from his violin.C.She was unhappy that her husband loved his violin more than her.D.She believed music has the power to save the world.29.The underlined sentence “Once Dad came about as close to that as could ever be possible.” functions as .

We use it all the time in our daily livestrial and error is a helpful problem-solving method.It is the basic concept of “learning from your mistakes”.Most of the time,we fail on our first try,so we analyze the failure,make adjustments and try again.After repeating this a few times,we finally get things right.This might sound a bit tiring,but its certainly effective and it works for bumblebees.In the study,scientists set up five artificial flowers in a field.Each one of them was fitted with motion-triggered(运动触发的) cameras and had landing platforms with drops of sucrose (蔗糖) in the middle to attract the bees.At first,scientists noticed the bees flying routes were long and plex.But after they gained enough experience,they gradually got to their destination quicker.Every time a bee tried a new route that was shorter than the route it had tried before,it was likely to use it again.Otherwise the new route would simply be given up and another one was tested.“The speed at which they learn through trial and error is quite extraordinary (不同寻常的) for bumblebees,as this plex behavior was thought to be one that only larger-brained animals were capable of,” Professor Lars Chittka,leader of the study,told Sciencedaily.In fact,the smart bumblebees dont strain(费力) themselves trying every possible route.Normally,they would only try about 20 out of the 120 possible routes to visit the flowers.More interestingly,scientists found that if they removed a flower,bees would continue looking at that location,even if it has been empty for a long time.“It seems bees dont easily forget a fruitful flower,” Chittka said.32.The bumblebees are good at finding the best route because . A.they have relatively smaller brainsB.their body parts function like GPSC.they try out different routes and remember the best onesD.they take the trouble of testing every possible route33.The author explains the bumblebees behavior of trial and error by . A.using numbersB.making a metaphor (比喻)C.making parisonsD.talking about human behavior34.The study led by professor Lars Chittka suggests that . A.bumblebees try to keep their flying routes long and plexB.every new route the bumblebees take is shorter than the one they take beforeC.bumblebees are familiar with every flying route they have taken beforeD.scientists find it unbelievable that bumblebees learn from their mistakes so quickly35.What is the main point of the article?A.Bumblebees are as smart as large-brained animals.B.Trial and error is an effective way to solve our daily problems.C.A new discovery about how Bumblebees find the best routes through trial and error.D.How bumblebees remember the best routes,small as their brains are.第二节：任务型阅读（七选五）（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，按顺序填在短文下方的横线上。选项中有两项为多余选项。Potato chips,which are popular everywhere today,had an unusual origin.The snack came about because of a plaint and an argument.An American named George Crum is credited with inventing potato chips. 36 In 1853,Crum worked in Saratoga Springs as the chef.One day a customer sent his serving of fried potatoes back to the chef,plaining that they should have been sliced thinner.Chef Crum prepared another serving of thinner fried potatoes.The customer again returned them.By this time,Crum was angry.He thinly sliced a large number of potatoes and then salted and fried them. 37 To Crums surprise,the customer loved them.The man even requested more.Afterwards,the customer left the restaurant to tell everyone about the delicious new food. 38 What is known is that Crum named his new dish “potato crunches”,although locally they became known as Saratoga Chips.When Crum opened a new restaurant,he put baskets of his chips on all the tables.Some people claimed,however,that potato crunches were not even on the menu.People who are aware of the success of the potato chip industry think it strange that Crum never patented his Saratoga Chips. An important advance in the potato chip industry came in 1926,when Laura Scudder developed the waxed paper bag at her potato chip factory.Scudder had her workers take home sheets of waxed paper to make into small bags.The workers used their clothing irons to iron the sheets of paper.The heat from the irons quickly melted the wax,causing the sheets of paper to stick together. 39 The tops were then sealed with heated irons.The bags kept the chips fresher so they could be shipped to customers far away. Three years later,a new type of fryer allowed further development in the cooking of potato chips.With the continuous fryer,many more chips could be cooked at the same time.Today,people all over the country enjoy the tasty snack. 40 A.In the early 1900s,things changed,and several panies around the United States began making potato chips.B.Although the potato chip began as an accident,it is now one of Americas most popular snack foods.C.The next day,they hand packed potato chips into the bags,but the job was not quite finished.D.They sold the chips to neighborhood stores from boxes and glass cases.E.No one knows exactly how Crum reacted to the experience.F.He did not,however,intend to invent anything.G.His aim was to annoy the demanding customer.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-50各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。It is a true story behind a well-known piece of art.In a village near Nuremberg lived a family with eighteen children.Merely to keep food on the table,the father worked eighteen hours a day.Despite their 41 condition,two of the children had a dream to seek their talent for 42 ,but they knew well their father would never be able to send 43 of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.

When the young 50 returned home,the family held a festive dinner.Albrecht rose to toast to his beloved brother,“Now,Albert,it is your 51 to seek your dream and I will support you.” All heads turned to the far end of the table,where Albert sat,tears streaming down his pale face,while he 52 and repeated,“No.no.”Finally,Albert rose and 53 the tears from his cheeks.He said softly,“I 54 go to Nuremberg,brother.It is too late for me.Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands!The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once,and I cannot even hold a glass to 55 your toast.” Today,Albrechts masterful works 56 in every great museum in the world,but chances are great 57 you,like most people,are familiar with only one of them.Albrecht drew his brothers abused hands with palms together and thin 58 stretched skyward.He 59 it“The Praying Hands”.
