21、It’s peak cold and flu season, which means taking a lot of preventative measures. Frequent hand-washing is a must. As is avoiding co-workers or friends who are sick. But we humans are not the only animals that change behavior to keep diseases at bay. So do ants.
“So there are the foragers and the nurses — it’s two different groups of work,” said Natha of the University of Lausanne. She and her colleagues observed ants to see their reaction to the presence of a disease.
“The nurses being made of young workers typically, stay inside the nest and take care of the eggs. And the foragers are all the workers spending most of time at outside of the nest to collect food and defend the territory.”
Forager ants are at greater risk of getting exposed to diseases because they leave the safety of the nest. So the researchers sprayed a common virus on a small group of forager ants and then followed their movements to see the way other ants reacted.
“We marked all ants in the colony with individual labels, which carries these two-dimensional bar code marks like QR code which is automatically detected and recorded using a tracking system.”
After the infection, the nurse and forager ants stayed within their working places and interacted less outside of their work group. The researchers also saw that forager ants spent more time outside of the nest. “They increase that amount by 15 percent, so by quite a long large amount.”
Isolating behavior stops the spread of the virus. “Something that’s quite interesting in these ants that’s been shown by the study is that in their ability to avoid infecting other members of the community, ants may be more advanced than we are,” Natha said.
【1】How did the researchers track the infected ants?
A.They labeled the movements of infected ants.
B.They used the QR codes to follow the ants’ movements.
C.They had some nurse and forager ants infected with the virus.
D.They applied a tracking technology to record the ants’ movements.
【2】How did the ants act after being infected?
A.Forager ants stayed inside the nest more.
B.Infected ants tended to stay away from healthy ants.
C.The nurses stayed inside the nest, working as usual.
D.Forager ants, together with coworkers, stayed outside more.
【3】What’s Natha’s attitude toward ants’ behaviors?
A.Doubtful.
B.Objective.
C.Appreciative.
D.Conservative.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How ants keep diseases at bay in the nest.
B.Ants change movements to fight against diseases.
C.The measures all the ants take to prevent diseases.
D.Similarities between human and ants in controlling diseases.
22、Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth.” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat with pleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
【1】The doctor usually tells his patient what to do______.
A. without examining the patient
B. if the patient doesn’t take medicine
C. after he has examined the patient
D. unless the patient feels pain
【2】The writer thinks that_____.
A. work is as important as studies
B. health is more important than wealth
C. medicine is more important than pleasure
D. nothing is more important than money
【3】The underlined part means “______”.
A. he wasn’t a healthy man
B. he was feeling better than ever
C. he was feeling worse than before
D. he will be well again
【4】From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_______ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A. was a heavy smoker
B. didn’t smoke so much
C. began to learn to smoke
D. didn’t smoke
【5】Which of the following is NOT true?

B. The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember things.
C. The man didn’t follow the doctor’s advice.

23、The best holiday trip I have ever been on is a trip to Fraser’s Hill in Selangor. It was the school holidays and my parents had booked bungalow(平房)at the top of the hill just one and a half hours’ drive from K.L.
We started early in the morning by car. My brother, sister and I sat in the car with eager expectation of the cool weather and jungle trekking(跋涉). Our journey took us along the North-South Highway to Bukit Beruntung where we exited the toll booth(收费站)and headed past Serendah till we arrived at Kuala Kubu for breakfast. It was a little town that had many old buildings and an breathtaking landscape.
Further along the way, we passed a huge dam and stopped at the lakeside to take pictures. Along its banks were little huts that dotted the hillsides. The journey up the hills was scenic and awesome with thick rainforest.
Finally, we reached the Gap where we were allowed to go up to Fraser’s according to an hourly timetable. Odd and even(奇数和偶数)hours were designated for ascent and descent(上下坡)as the final few kilometers of the road were too narrow for two-way traffic. When we reached the town centre, a brick clock tower, rustic(乡村的)police station and cute golf course greeted us. We stopped for lunch at a stall serving Chinese food. Then, we got directions to the government bungalow from the locals. It was a 15-minute ride to the clean bungalow that was equipped with kitchen facilities, dining hall and TV. The garden had a playground and barbecue area.
The fog enveloped the bungalow giving it a foreign atmosphere. We looked cool in our jackets as we walked along the road for dinner at some stalls in town that night. We bid goodbye to them and the cool natural surroundings as we made our way back to the polluted city.
【1】What can we know from the second paragraph?

D.The family had a good stay at Kuala Kubu.
