Fight Colds and Flu!

Doctors say cold is a viral infection characterized by inflammation of the mucous（黏液的）membranes（隔膜）lining the upper respiratory passages and usually accompanied by malaise（不适）, fever, chills, coughing, and sneezing. While flu is an acute contagious viral infection characterized by inflammation of the respiratory tract and by fever, chills, muscular pain, and prostration（疲惫）. What we ordinary people know is that it usually starts with a sore throat, and moves on to include a runny or stuffy nose. That's a cold. A flu, on the other hand, hits you all at once, with a headache, sore throat, fever, muscle pain and respiratory problems, but you're less likely to have nasal problems. The good news: You can easily prevent and treat these wicked wintertime illnesses. Our colds and flu guide will help you win the battle of the bug, so that if you do fall prey, you can return to your busy life faster and healthier than ever.

Should You Get the Flu Vaccine?

Yes. The vaccine works. It can and does prevent illness. Maybe you heard about recent studies that found the vaccine isn't effective, or that the virus is becoming resistant, but the same research found that, in some cases, the vaccine lowered rates of pneumonia and hospitalization due to the flu, says Neil Schechter, MD, author of The Good Doctor's Guide to Colds & Flu. It's most important for health care workers and those at high risk (pregnant women, the elderly, children under age 2, anyone with health problems) to get vaccinated. And with the 2003 introduction of Flu Mist, even needlephobes（惧怕打针者）have no reason to back out. The nasal spray offers the same protection for healthy people ages 5 to 49 who aren't pregnant. Will the vaccine protect against avian flu? No one knows for sure, say experts, but it may enhance your defenses. And you won't get sick after getting the vaccine. Regardless of what you've heard, there is absolutely no

risk of getting the flu from the standard flu vaccine, says Aaron E. Glatt, MD, spokesperson for the Infectious Diseases Society of America. So if you haven't gotten your shot, do it now. It's not too late.

A Pill to Prevent the Flu

You never got around to getting your flu vaccine, and now you're worried you'll become sick, since several of your co-workers have succumbed. Luckily, your doctor can prescribe a pill that could prevent the flu from developing. Tami flu, an antiviral drug, is FDA approved to prevent and treat the flu. And Glaxo Smith Kline, maker of the antiviral Relenza, is seeking FDA approval for preventive use of that drug.

Already got the flu? No problem. When taken within the first 48 hours, these drugs can shorten the length of illness and reduce symptoms and complications. They may also help protect against avian flu, but more research is needed. For most of us, the drugs are not meant to replace a vaccine, says Neil Schechter, MD, author of The Good Doctor's Guide to Colds & Flu, since they're costly and have possible side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea（腹泻）. The popular herbal remedy Echinacea is touted for its ability to strengthen immunity, protect against colds and shorten the duration of illness. But researchers at the University of Virginia think we should save our money, because Echinacea doesn't seem to work. They divided 399 people into groups. Some took Echinacea before and after being infected with a virus; some took it only after infection; the rest got a placebo. At the end of the study, researchers concluded that Echinacea did not help prevent or treat a cold.

An Herbal Essential?

People take ginseng（人参）for its supposed effects on the immune system, and new research suggests it can help fight colds, but don't stock up just yet: Doctors at the University of Alberta gave 130 people North American ginseng extract twice a day; another 149 took a placebo（安慰

剂）. After four months, those who used this root extract had fewer cold symptoms.

Sounds promising, but more research is needed to confirm the results. In any case, the product tested was an extract that isn't available in the United States. And don't expect the same results with all ginseng products, says Neil Schechter, MD. “I would not rush to advise my patients to

use this treatment just yet.”

I've got a cold. What can I eat to feel better fast?

A Start with a bowl of Mom's chicken soup. Research has yet to show how it works , but we do know that a nutrient rich diet builds your immune system and fights inflammation. This season,

stock upon these healing foods:

·OJ: Vitamin C may shorten the duration of your cold, helping you get back on your feet.·Oatmeal, bananas, fish, chicken, turkey: They help maintain the health of organs that make infection fighting white blood cells.

·Apples, cranberries, tomato sauce: These contain flavonoids（类黄酮）, anti inflammatory

substances that can strengthen your immune system.

Germ—Proof Your House

Want to keep your home cold free this season? “Send your kids to Grandma's,”jokes University

of Arizona microbiologist Charles Gerba.“The best friend a germ ever had is a kid, because he brings his fingers to his nose and mouth up to 30 times a minute.”Luckily, Gerba's research shows you'll find the most viruses on the phone. The remote control, kitchen faucet and refrigerator door handle aren't far behind. Sick or not, use alcohol based hand gels（橡胶手套）, and wipe down germy items every few days (do it twice a day when someone's ill). And don't

forget the antiviral tissues, which kill germs you sneeze into the tissue.

Percentage of people who SAY they always wash their hands after:

91% Using a public rest room

83% Using the bathroom at home

77% Handling or eating food

73% Changing a diaper

Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

One day in 1935 the management of Britain's Southern Railway (as it was then called) announced its intention to close the branch line from Lynton to Barnstable in North Devon. The proposal was received by the local inhabitants with angry protest. For them, the tall chimneyed locomotives and the little flower bordered stations of Devon had become as much of an institution as the village church or tavern. Moreover, the line ran through the heart of a popular tourist district. What would the holiday maker do without it? Closing down the railway line had been unthinkable, yet now some busybody official in remote London was threatening to destroy it with a stroke of the pen.

Mounting local opposition resulted in a meeting at Barn staple, where the crowed was joined by very vocal protestors from the other end of the line at Lynton. The meeting seemed to be going well for the railway supporters until the chairman politely inquired how many people from Lynton had traveled to Barn staple by train. Out of the embarrassed silence that followed emerged the painful truth that, to a man, those who had come from Lynton to fight for the railway had come by highway. The fate of the Lynton and Barn staple branch line was sealed.

This sad little story is typical of the attitude of many Englishmen toward their railways. Dissatisfied with the age of sheet metal, plastics, and reinforced concrete in which we find ourselves, we long more and more for the substantial, self-confident, and inspired products of the Victorian era. Of that age, Britain’s railways are the most eloquent and enduring reminders. 57.One of the arguments against closing the railway line was that ________________.

A) fewer tourists would come into the area

B) people from outlying districts would be unable to attend religious services

C) the economy of the people would suffer greatly

D) it would be difficult to get from Lynton to Barn staple

58.Who objected to the closing of the railway branch line?

A) Barn staple people only.

B) Workers of the Southern Railway.

C) People of both Barn staple and Lynton.

D) The management of the Southern Railway.

59.What is the author's reaction to the people who called the town meeting?

A) He is amused by their political efforts.

B) He is sympathetic to their cause.

C) He is encouraged by their success.

D) He is critical of their attitudes.

60.The author seems to think that railways are reminders of the ______________.

A) personal concern and solid beauty of a past age

B) ugliness and oppression that modern society has overcome

C) benefits that the machine age has brought to man

D) growing dislike in England of the Victorian age

61.The passage suggests that the Southern Railway of Britain is now _______________.

A) controlled by the local people

B) in financial difficult

C) under a different name

D) financially sound

Passage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

Federal Reserve System, central banking system of the United States, popularly called the Fed. A central bank serves as the banker to both the banking community and the government; it also

issues the national currency, conducts monetary policy, and plays a major role in supervision and regulation of banks and bank holding companies. In the U.S. these functions are the responsibilities of key officials of the Federal Reserve System: the Board of Governors, located in Washington, D.C., and the top officers of the 12 district Federal Reserve banks, located throughout the nation. The Fed’s actions, described below, generally have a significant effect on the U.S. interest rates and, subsequently, on stock, bond, and other financial markets.

The Federal Reserve’s ba sic powers are concentrated in the Board of Governors, which is paramount in all policy issues concerning bank regulation and supervision and in most aspects of monetary control. The board enunciates the Fed’s policies on both monetary and banking matters. Because the board is not an operating agency, most of the day to day implementation of policies decisions is left to the district Federal Reserve banks, stock in which is owned by the commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System. Ownership in this instance, however, does not imply control; the Board of Governors and the heads of the Reserve banks orient their policies

to the public interest rather than to the benefit of the private banking system.

The U.S. banking system’s regulat ory apparatus is complex; the authority of the Federal Reserve is shared in some instances for example, in mergers or the examination of banks with other federal agencies such as the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Cooperation (FDIC). In the critical area of regulating the nation’s money supply in accordance with national economic goals, however, the Federal Reserve is independent within the government. Income and expenditures of the Federal Reserve banks and of the Board of Governors are not subject to the congressional appropriation process; the Federal Reserve is subject to the congressional appropriation process; the Federal Reserve is self-financing. Its income ($20.2 billion in 1992) comes mainly from Reserve bank holdings of income earning securities, primarily those of the U.S. government. Outlays ($1.5 billion in 1992) are mostly for operational expenses in providing services to the government and for expenditures connected with regulation and monetary policy. In 1992 the Federal Reserve returned $16.8 billion in earnings to the U.S. Treasury.

62.The Fed of the United States________________.

A) functions as China Bank

B) is the counterpart of People’s Bank of China

C) is subject to the banking community and government

D) has 13 top officers who can influence the American financial market

63.The fact that stock in the Fed belongs to commercial banks_______________.

A) doesn't mean the latter is in control

B) means the latter is in control

C) means the latter is subjected to the Reserve banks

D) means the Reserve banks orient the latter's policies

64.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A) The Fed is a very big, complex and significant system which comprises many local banks.

B) All the commercial banks are not the components of Federal Reserve System.

C) Board of Governors is the supreme policy makers of Federal Reserve System.

D) District Reserve banks rather than Board of Governors perform the day to day policies.

65.The authority of the Federal Reserve____________________.

A) has to be shared with other establishments is

B) is exclusive at other times

C) isn't limited by comptroller of the Currency and FDIC

D) is limited by Board of Governors

66.Income of the Board of Governors __________________.

A) is borrowed from the U.S. Treasury

B) is used by the government to make various policies

C) comes from the U.S. Treasury

D) is not granted by the government

卷一： 真题：中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如，土豪和大妈都是老词，但已获取了新的意义。 土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人，也就是说，土豪有钱，但是没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但是现在特指不久前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。 土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版的牛津(OXford)英语词典，至今约有120中文加进了牛津英语词典，成了英语语言的一部分。 参考答案： The Chinese heated words usually reflect social changes and culture, some o f which are increasingly popular with foreign media. Tuhao and dama, forexa mple, are both old words, but they get differentmeanings now.

That is to say, tuhao owns money rather than taste. T heword dama is used to describe middle-aged women.

Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend college at home or abroad, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 【参考范文】 Whether to Attend College at Home or Abroad? Currently, with studying abroad gains mounting popularity among people, there is a heated debate about whether to attend college at home or abroad. Opinions on this topic vary from person to person. Some see more benefits in studying at home while others claim that studying abroad is a more ideal choice as it’s more challenging. Personally, I am a strong favorer of the latter view. Listed below are the reasons for my advice. First of all, attending college abroad provides an opportunity to broaden one’s experience and mind. You can acquire cross-cultural experiences and gain new perspectives on your chosen field of study. In addition, studying abroad helps you to polish your social skills; you can make friends with different people with different background. Thirdly, overseas studying is conducive to the formation of an independent, autonomous and tenacious personality, which will ultimately benefit the achievement of our life goals. Just as an old saying goes: “It is better to travel thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” Then studying abroad can not only enable us to reap in our books, but also in our trips. And this is why attending college abroad is a preferable selection for me.
