Setting too little cooking time.In the winter of 1910, Dr. Wu Lien-teh stepped off a train in the northern Chinese city ofHarbin. He was there to solve a medical mystery, at great personal risk. Ov
7、er the past few months, an unknown disease had swept along the railways of northeast China, killing 99.9%of its victims. The Qing Imperial court had sent the Cambridge-educated Dr. Wu north to stop the epidemic （流行病）.When Dr Wu arrived in Harbin on Christmas Eve, 1910, he carried little in the way o
8、f medical instruments and had only one assistant. One of Wu9s first acts upon arrival was to set up special quarantine （隔离）units and to order lockdowns to stop infected persons from traveling and spreading the disease. He had teams check households for possible cases, and even managed to convince au
9、thorities to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911. Of particular concern was the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, which had become a great annual migration of people traveling across the country to see their families.Thanks to Dr. Wus efforts, the number of victims began to die
10、 down, and by March 1, 1911, the epidemic was fully contained. The pneumonic plague outbreak of 1910-1911 lasted nearly four months, affected five provinces and six major cities, and accounted for over 60,000 deaths. It is clear that without the brave and decisive actions taken by Dr. Wu, it could h
11、ave been much worse. Had the epidemic gone unchecked, allowing holiday rail passengers to spread the disease to the rest of China could have meant a catastrophic loss of life and possibly a global health crisis.In April 1911, Dr. Wu chaired an International Plague Conference in Shenyang, attended by

16、he native Americans, the people we call the “Indians，had been in America for many thousands of years before Columbus arrived in 1492. Columbus thought he had arrived in India, so he called the native people “Indians”.The Indians were kind to the early settlers. They were not afraid of them and they
17、wanted to help them. They showed the settlers the new world around them. They taught them about the local crops like sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts. They introduced the Europeans to chocolate and to the turkey and the Europeans did business with the Indians.But soon the settlers wanted bigger farm
18、s and more land for themselves and their families. More and more immigrants were coming from Europe and all these people needed land. So the Europeans started to take the land from the Indians. Naturally, when the whites started taking all the Indians, land, the Indians started fighting back.But the
19、 whites were stronger and cleverer. Slowly they pushed the Indians into those parts of the continent that the whites didnt want- the parts where it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live comfortably. By 1875 the Indians were living in special places called “reservations”. But even here t
20、he whites took land from them- perhaps the whites wanted the wood, or perhaps the land had important minerals in it, or they even wanted to make national parks there. So even on their reservations the Indians were not safe from the whites.There are many Hollywood films about the fight between the In
21、dians and the whites. Usually in these films the Indians are bad and the whites are good and brave. But was it really like that? What do you think? Do you think the Indians were right or wrong to fight against the whites?8. Why did Columbus call the native people “Indians”？A. Because he thought he h
22、ad arrived in India.B , Because he liked Indian culture very much.C. Because he knew they were from India.D. Because he was an Indian himself.9.

24、ut fights are the most popular ones in the marketfilms about the fight between the Indians and the whites are very limited11. The passage is most probably taken from the column of a newspaper.A. entertainment B. historyC. economyD. industryA study by Harvard researchers found that mind wandering, or
25、 daydreaming, consumes an average of 47% of peoples waking hours. This brings about the question： If mind wandering is so costly to our well-being, then why in the world are we so willing to spend nearly half of our lives in this mental state?Creative thinkers know, despite what their parents, teach
26、ers and school leaders might have told them, that daydreaming is hardly a waste of time. But unfortunately, many students learn to suppress their natural instincts to dream and imagine-instead, they,re taught to fit into a standardized model and to learn by the book, in a way that may not feel natur
27、al and that very well may suppress their natural desire to create. But as two famous psychologists recently noted, “Not all minds who wander are lost-in fact, the minds wandering is vital to imagination and creative thought.Nearly 50 years ago, psychologist Jerome L. Singer established that daydream
28、ing is a normal and indeed widespread aspect of human experience. He found that many people are “happy daydreamers, who enjoy their inner imagery and fantasy. According to Singer, these daydreamers simply value and enjoy their private experiences, are willing to risk wasting a certain amount of time
29、 on them, but also can apparently use them for effective planning and for self-amusement during periods of routine task activity or boredom.”Singer coined the term positive-constructive daydreaming to describe this type of mind wandering, which he distinguished from poor attention and anxious, obses
30、sive fantasies. By making these important distinctions, Singer was able to highlight the positive, adaptive role that daydreaming can play in our daily lives, under the right circumstances.12. Who are aware that daydreaming is not a waste of time?A. Teachers.B. Parents.C. School leaders. D. Creative
31、thinkers.13. According to the passage, daydreaming is very important to.A. learning by the bookB. imagination and creationC. suppression of inner desiresD. instincts and amusements14.

It is an anxious, obsessive fantasy.D. It is a standardized model.二、七选五Every time you are online, you may find pictures, artic
33、les, links and videos trying to tell their stories. 16 Some news spread quickly, and the result is fake news.Experts in media studies and online psychology have been examining the fake news phenomenon. 17Check the source. Look at the website where the story comes from. A fake news website may use an
34、 address that sounds like a real newspaper, but does not have many real stories about its topics.18 Many fake news stories use images from unrelated sites. Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see it has been changed. Or use a search tool to see if the same image has been used in
35、 other contexts.Check the story in other places. Try to see if the story you are reading is on the news sites that you know and trust. 19Look for other signs. There are other techniques that fake news uses. For example, lots of ads pop up when you click on a link. 20 If the news story makes you angr
36、y, it is probably designed to make you angry.If you know these things about online news and can apply them in your everyday life, then you have controlled over what to read, what to believe and what to share.A.

48、an 46 (expect) that anything they do must be rewarded with praise. This may lead to the child avoiding taking 47 (risk) due to fear of disappointing their parents.Does this mean doing away with all the praise?
