22. If you’re 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 dip in the temperature, you can essentially mark your calendar in prediction for an outbreak 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 compared 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 the 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 complications(并发症) related to the virus, according to the CDC.
12. From the first paragraph we can infer that .
A. people may easily fall sick
B. nobody can predict when one gets flu
C. flu is often related to weather changes
D. weather report plays an important part in life
13. How did the researchers draw the conclusion of the study?
A. By analyzing the data
B. By doing questionnaires
C. By carrying out experiments
D. By making observation
14. Why do people catch the flu easily in cold and dry weather?
A. Cold and dry weather helps the spread of virus
B. The colder it is, the more kinds of flu there are
C. Cold and dry weather can prevent people from doing exercise
D. Low temperature can increase the number of aerosol particles
15. What can we learn about from the last paragraph?
A. The vaccines for flu
B. The main ways to cure flu
C. The most common kind of flu virus
D. The people who are easy to get flu

23. You probably hear it all the time —people telling you to “learn English”. But does this mean children in English-speaking countries don’t need to bother learning a new language? Not at all. In fact, an even larger number of young people will soon be taught foreign languages, thanks to the mental advantages of bilingualism.
Psychologists once thought that growing up bilingual might lead to verbal delays－a late or absent development of talking. But US magazine Scientific American has revealed
that this is not true, and reported that children who speak more than one language “show greater mental flexibility, a superior grasp of abstract concepts and a better working memory.” As the New York Times put it, “being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter.”
In Europe, learning foreign languages is increasingly popular. A European report shows that from 2005-2010, the percentage of European students learning a foreign language rose from 67.5 percent to 79.2 percent. Most European kids start learning another language at age 6. In Belgium, it starts at 3. New reforms being introduced in the UK will mean all children could be taught a foreign language, such as Mandarin or Greek, from the age of 7. The most popular foreign language for European kids was English, followed by German and French.
In comparison, Americans don’t give a fig for learning foreign languages. Compared to 50 percent of European adults who are bilingual, only 9 percent of adults in the US are fluent in more than one language, according to a 2011 report. American students are often not exposed to a second language until high school.
However, recent statistics show demand is growing in the US for people to become more bilingual. According to a USA Today chart released in July, 21 percent of US children speak another language at home. A number of institutions in the country are also pushing foreign languages in schools. Three school districts in Delaware will launch Chinese and Spanish programs next year. More people are learning Chinese, French and Spanish.
31. Psychologist used to believe that children who grow up bilingual ________.
A.are more flexible mentally
B.are slow in the development of talking
C.have a poorer working memory
D.are smarter in understanding abstract concept
32. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.Americans are more interested in learning another language than Europeans
B.British kids began to learn foreign languages at the earliest age
C.21% of US children study a foreign language in the school
D.not all schools in America are teaching foreign languages
33. What d oes the underlined phrase “give a fig for” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.attach importance to
B.have talent for
C.invest money in
D.have demand for
34. Which are the most popular foreign languages in the US?
A.Mandarin and Greek.
B.English, German and French.
C.Chinese, French and Spanish.
D.Chinese, German and Greek.
35. What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Chinese is becoming more popular in western countries.
B.The benefits and advantages of growing up bilingual.
C.Western worlds are paying more attention to learning foreign languages.
D.The differences between bilingual education in Europe and USA.
