BIf youre wondering when you might get the flu, a new study indicates you should keep an eye on your local weather report.According to a research published in the Journal of Clinical Virology, if you keep your eye on the weather and watch for the first major drop in the temperature, you can essentially mark your calendar in prediction for an outbreak of the flu.To figure out how the weather and flu outbreak may be connected, researchers analyzed statistics of 20,000 people in an area over three seasons. The number of people who caught the flu was then pared with local weather data.After each season, the team noticed one consistent finding: The first really cold period with low outdoor temperatures and low humidity (湿度) was always followed by a week of a mass influenza outbreak.The researchers say that aerosol particles (气溶胶粒子) containing virus and liquid are more able to spread in cold and dry weather. So, in theory, if you sneeze or cough and the surrounding air is very dry, the air will absorb the moisture and the particles containing the virus keep spreading through the air for a longer period of time.Luckily there are ways to keep off the illness regardless of the weather. Washing your hands, coughing into the crook (弯曲) of your arm and getting vaccine (疫苗) are the best ways to prevent the flu from spreading. People over the age of 65, pregnant women and young children are at the highest risk of developing plications (并发症) related to the virus, according to the CDC.24From the first paragraph we can infer that .Anobody can predict when one gets flu Bpeople may easily fall sickCweather report plays an important part in lifeDflu is often related to weather changes 25How did the researchers draw the conclusion of the study?ABy doing questionnaires BBy analyzing the data C.By carrying out experiments DBy making observation26Why do people catch the flu easily in cold and dry weather?AGold and dry weather can prevent people from doing exercise BThe colder it is, the more kinds of flu there areCLow temperature can increase the number of aerosol particles DCold and dry weather helps the spread of virus27What can we learn about from the last paragraph?AThe vaccines for flu BThe people who are easy to get flu CThe most mon kind of flu virus DThe main ways to cure flu CEveryone has their favorite scenes and characters in Harry Potter books and filmsOne of the most memorable scenes for many came early on in the series. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, the owls (猫头鹰) began to send letters to Harry inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Owls were then mentioned frequently in the books and created amazing images in the filmsEveryone around the world loves the Harry Potter series. But if there has been one bad result of J. K. Rowlings creative gifts, it is the craze that has swept through many countries for owning an owl. Many experts suggest that because Harry Potter fans would like to own their own owl, there is a strong chance that owls may soon start to go extinct.There are over 200 different species of owl. They are nocturnal birds, which mean they are awake at night, usually hunting. They have large round eyes that face forwards on their flat faces. Owls also like to be on their own, unless it is the mating seasonIndonesia is one of the main countries that are now selling owls to young and old Harry Potter fansThere are many bird markets throughout the country, with the largest being Pramuka in Indonesias capital city, JakartaBirds are Indonesias most popular pet, with about 20 percent of all homes keeping at least oneIt is thought that about 13,000 owls are sold each year in Indonesias bird markets. They cost between 10 and 30This is affordable for most families where the parents workMost of the owls have been taken from the wild and do not live for very long once they have been caughtNot everyone is happy about the situation, including the Harry Potter author, JKRowlingShe said, If anybody has been influenced by my books, to think an owl would be happiest shut in a small cage and kept in a house, I would like to take this opportunity to say as forcefully as I can, you are wrong!28What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve?ATo advertise Harry Potter books BTo express the main ideaCTo bring up the topic DTo describe the authors favorite animal29What terrible result do the Harry Potter series bring about?AOwls being forced out of their homes BAn increase in the animal attacksCDamage to childrens creativity DA fall in the number of owls30What do we know about Indonesias bird markets?AThey mainly sell owlsBThey have a popular sale for owlsCThey usually sell homeraised owlsDThey sell owls at a paratively high price31What can be the best title of this passage?AMany Indonesians Love Buying Owls BMany Indonesians Like Raising BirdsCHarry Potter Series May Cause Great Harm to Owls DThings J. K. Rowling Dislikes D Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children bee unclear; we are numb to new stimulation(刺激) and new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began plaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.The pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see whats around them. I asked them what theyd seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.32According to Paragraph 2, pared with adults, children are more _.Aanxious to do wonders Bsensitive to others feelingsClikely to develop unpleasant habits Deager to explore the world around them33What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?ATo stop plaining all the time. BTo avoid jumping to conclusions.CTo follow the teachers advice. DTo admit mistakes honestly.34Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?AThe natural beauty isnt attractive to them.BThe forest in the dark is dangerous for them.CThey focus on arriving at the camp in time.DThey are keen to see rare birds at the destination.35In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should _.Afill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldBget rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeCopen our mind to new things and ideasDtry our best to protect nature第二节（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，选项中有两项为多余选项。Youre growing up. That means youre probably experiencing lots of changes, all at once. Your body is changing. It might even seem as if your entire self is changing. It can be confusing and even scary. 36 And its good!Growing up means that you can do more, learn more, and start to make your mark on the world. In order for that to happen, your body produces chemicals called hormones that help both body and mind grow. Hormone levels change constantly, rising and falling. 37 But its partly to blame for intense emotions, surprising reactions, and mood swings.Because of the way your brain develops, it is somewhat ruled by emotion now and through your teen years. As a result, growing up can seem like an emotional roller coaster! 38 Take care of yourself. If you eat right, sleep enough, and get good exercise, your brain will be much more able to deal with the stress. 39 When you feel your moods swinging or youre upset, or confused, some quiet time will allow you to gather your thoughts and get calmer. Practice relaxing your body and deep breathing when you wake up and when you go to bed. 40 Plus, when stuff happens during the day, youll be able to calm yourself quickly with a deep breath or two before you react. Your body is changing.ATake a break.BBut the truth is, it happens to every teen.CWork out regularly to keep physically fit.DThis changing is needed for your bodys development.EIt will help you fall asleep and start the morning right.FHere are a few things you can do to make the ride smoother.GUsually, these feelings settle down when you realize what is going on.第三部分：英语知识运用 （共三节，满分55分）第一节:完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It was New Year time.
