1.Hello, new students! This is a message from the Students Union Committee. We've been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips. Don't worry - we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't forgotten feeling a little bit scared. First, as you know, there are no longer any grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember that like all loans, you have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a sensible strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are struggling to make ends meet, you can get a part-time job-restaurants and bars in the town take lots of students on in the evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for advice. Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies societies - they're cheap and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a great chance to take up a completely new hobby. Living in a new city a long way from home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After all, they are paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself, but stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend from time to time. And remember to take your dirty washing! Finally, remember to work hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or BSc) throughout your three years here - try to keep things in perspective. You'll always find someone in the Student Union office if you need to talk.1). What does the word "scared" mean in the second paragraph?2). What does the word "grants" mean in the third paragraph?3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, ?at weekends" in the third paragraph implies().4). From the fifth paragraph, we can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living faraway from home, ().5). This passage is written for the purpose of ().(1).A、excitedB、frightenedC、worried(2).A、money given by the government to support the students' study, which they needn't pay backB、money from the government which the students need to pay backC、money from the school which is similar to scholarship(3).A、if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the restaurants and bars in your spare timeB、if you want to have a better life than others, you can find a part-time job in your spare timeC、restaurants and bars need more hands in the evenings and at weekends(4).A、it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone from time to timeB、new students need to do their washing themselvesC、new students should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home(5).A、telling new students the problems facing them in the universityB、telling new students how to budget their moneyC、offering new students some advice about their university life

4.CWe have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful (有害的). Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.64. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may _________.A. come from ColumbiaB. prevent us from being infectedC. enjoy being with children D. suffer from monkey-pox

    A new scheme for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities in part of Eastern England． This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads．
    Until now the Country Council has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed． Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, provided the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school．
    The new scheme is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school． The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it will not undertake to provide free transport to the school． But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster．
    Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in． Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a council official has said the cost of parents should be less than $6．50 a tenn．
    They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington． The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children． The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new scheme．
    The new bus service will run__________．

    A.on morning journeys to school only
    B.in connection with an existing service
    C.only for children living more than three miles away
    D.only in wet weather

    A

    malaria and yellow fever have been reported this year

    B

    no new cases of smallpox have been reported this year

    C

    smallpox victims no longer die when they contract the disease

    D

    smallpox is not transmitted from one person to another


    正确答案： D
    解析：
    推断题。第四段首句提到“到1978年4月世界卫生组织已隔离了所知的最后一个病例”。该段最后两句指出“如今，天花已不再对人类构成威胁。全球范围内也已停止了对天花疫苗的常规注射”。由此可以选项B推断正确。
