15、阅读理解:AAfter I had paid for my stamps and was about to leave, Alan explained the worried expression on his face, “Some of us are going to lose our jobs.“Alan and I had started to get to know each other about six months ago. He was a postman, and he noticed that I had visited the post office five time
16、s in four weeks. The fifth time he told me www.xcyy.tk 星辰英语 www.StarEnglish.tkit wasnt normal for people to use the postal service that often, and I told him that I was normal.Gradually, going to the post office became something I did every week not just to get stamps. It became my excuse to say hel
17、lo to Alan, to catch up on how he was doing, to hear all about how fast his kids were growing up. Alan is my friend, so when I saw the worried expression on his face, I knew he wanted to talk about the situation he was facing.Its obvious that the postal service is in trouble. Bad business decisions
18、are thought to be one of the leading reasons. Another is that e-mail and other forms of communication are reducing the need for regular mail. In the end, it all comes down to one thing - most people dont send mail any more.I asked where Alan lived that day before leaving the post office. I wanted to
19、 send him a letter telling him that, while most people might not send mail any more, Im not part of them, and that Im glad hes my friend.This may not solve the problems of the postal service, but hopefully it will help erase that worried expression from his face, even though just for a few minutes.1

This festival is a cheerful occasion, for on this day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed by the living. As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is
23、laid out for them. Specially-made lanterns are hung outside each house to help the dead to find their way. All night long, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food that had been laid out for the dead is thrown into the river or into the sea as it is considered unlucky for anyone living
24、to eat it. In towns that are near the sea, the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before, are placed into the water when the festival is over. Thousands of lanterns slowly drift out to sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world. This is a moving spectacle

28、 the old advice about dressing warmly help prevent a cold, or if you get sick, should you follow the old saying, “feed a cold and starve（挨饿）a fever“? And what about that fever? Should you take medicine to reduce your temperature, or is it better to let the body treat the fever itself? Everyone seems
29、 to have an answer. But is popular wisdom valuable?Doctor Nelson knows a lot about cold and flu seasons. Nelson says research may be just starting to provide proofs (证明) for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years were against the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu.
30、 But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body, and that stress can create something more likely to lead to viruses. So maybe it is really important to wear warmly before going outside.And what about feeding a cold and starving a fever? Nelson says if you have a cold
31、and are hungry, you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. He says people are usually not hungry when they have a high fever. Eating might even make a person sick. But drinking enough water is important. A fever easily makes the body lose water.Finally, when
32、 should you treat a fever? Nelson says a fever should be treated if it stays at 40 or above for a day or more. A high temperature can damage（破坏） brain cells（细胞）The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping.Medicine like aspirin, for example, can be used to reduce
33、 pain（痛苦） and fever. But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause serious problems.www.xcyy.tk 星辰英语 www.StarEnglish.tk1. We can learn from the passage that Doctor Nelson_.A. doesnt believe in the old advice about preventing coldsB. is now trying his best to provide proofs for lon
34、g-held beliefsC. thinks a fever neednt be treated even if it prevents someone from sleepingD. thinks you neednt go to a doctor immediately if you have a temperature of 402. According to Doctor Nelson, if someone catches a fever, he should_.A. take a bath in cold water B. drink enough waterC. try to
35、eat something D. take some exercise outside3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Why people should eat when having a cold.B. When people should treat a fever.C. What the medicine, aspirin, is used for.D. Whether the old advice about preventing a cold is valuable.4. The passage
36、 suggests that_.A. aspirin can damage brain cells if an adult takes too much of itB. the idea that getting cold can cause flu was proved true years agoC. it is easier for people to catch colds when their bodies are stressedD. some old advice about preventing colds isnt importantDXi Jinping, the newl
37、y elected general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has a unique experience as an “educated youth“ in rural（农村的） China when he was a young man. A son of Xi Zhongxun, a Communist revolutionary(革命的) hero and former（前任的）vice premier(总理), Xi Jinping did not live in comfort as
38、a boy. At the age of 16, he volunteered to live in a small village in northwest China s ShanxiProvince as an “educated youth. “Life there was tough for a city youth. In the beginning, fleas troubled him so badly he could not even fall asleep. Although he was not in school, Xi never stopped reading.
39、He brought a case of books to the village and was always “reading books as thick as bricks,“ recalled by villagers of Liangjiahe. Xi has said that the two groups of people who have given him the greatest help in his life are the older revolutionary generation and the folks in the Shanxi village wher
40、e he lived. When working as Party chief of Fuzhou, capital of Fujian Province, he took the lead in the country in establishing a mechanism(机制) for officials to meet with petitioners（上访群众） face to face. He introduced the same mechanism in places where he later served. Once, he and other senior offici
41、als in Fuzhou met with more than 700 petitioners in two days. He wrote a www.xcyy.tk 星辰英语 www.StarEnglish.tkpopular column for Zhejiang Daily, using the pen name Zhexin. In his column, he discussed everyday problems of interest to the common people in 232 articles.As mild a person as Xi is, he is ve
42、ry tough in policing officials and preventing them from harming the interests of the common people. His work style earned him the nickname “secretary of the people.“ “Officials should love the people in the way they love their parents, work for their benefit and lead them to prosperity,“ Xi said. 1.
