Measles(麻疹) is only found in human beings. There is a highly effective and safe vaccine(疫苗) for the disease. So, in theory, measles could be destroyed.

Yet the number of measles cases is on the rise.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that, in the first three months of 2019, the number of cases is three times higher than it was last year. Africa alone has had a 700 percent increase compared to last year.

The Democratic Republic of Congo reported 67,000 measles cases and 901 measles-related deaths in 2018. This year, WHO officials have noted more than 40,000 suspected measles cases in the country. That number includes 284 measles-related deaths in the first weeks of 2019. Between September 2018 and February 2019, Madagascar reported over 67,000 measles cases, including 828 deaths.

Dr. Fauci, who directs the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease in the USA, said that―one in 10 children who get infected with measles will get an ear infection that could cause deafness. One in 20 would get pneumonia. One in a thousand would get brain swelling, and one to three per thousand would die. To say that measles is a slight disease is completely incorrect.

Walter Orenstein is with the Emory University Vaccine Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He has spent his life working to end measles. Orenstein says possible effects of the disease are worse in poor countries. ―In those countries children are already at greater risk. They may be malnourished(营养不良的). They may have damaged immune systems. They may be underweight and may have no access to health care so measles is a big killer, he said.

You have a 90 percent chance of getting measles if you have not been vaccinated and you come in contact with someone who has it. Dr. Rebecca Martin is the Director of the Center for Global Health at the

U.S. Centers for Disease Control. She is working to remove measles from Africa completely.　 ―It is very infectious. It will find nearly everybody who is not protected against measles, Martin said.

Health experts advise patients to get two treatments of the measles vaccine. U.S. health officials say educating parents about both the disease and the vaccine is an important step in stopping the spread. Equally important is making vaccination a top goal of health systems worldwide.

1.The writer shows the sharp increase in measles cases by .

A. giving examples B. listing figures

C. analyzing causes D. following time order

2.The following are the possible results of measles except .

A. an ear infection B. pneumonia

A. You are sure to get measles if you have not been vaccinated.

B. It is safe to come in contact with someone who has measles.

C. Parents should be educated about both the disease and the vaccine.

Traffic in many cities is heavier as many people are a__________ to their cars.

高三英语单词拼写中等难度题查看答案及解析

Most of my friends are moving outside the city.. to avoid the noise, smog, traffic, and crime of the city.

One friend says, "The air is heavily polluted in the city, so I prefer to live outside, where the air is clean."

Another friend is unpleased with the traffic, "Downtown is crowded with cars! You can't find a parking place, and the traffic jams are terrible." Everyone is worried about crime, "The city is full of criminals-it's toodangerous."

For them, the rural(乡村的) life is a cure for all problems, green grass, flowers, swimming pools, barbecues, and so on. Yet after they have lived there for a year or so, they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting. Why? Their gardens！ They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work . After they work all weekend in their gardens, they're too tired to swim in their pools or cook some meat on their barbecues. And they can't live in the countryside without a car. Most of them moved to the countryside to avoid traffic, but now they're blocked on a busy freeway two hours every day to drive to work downtown.

My opinions about urban life are different-I love to live downtown!　 Why? First, in the city,　 I can enjoy nature. I can walk through the park. smell. the flowers, sit on the grass and visit the animals in the zoo. Yet I don't have to do yard work or feed the animals. Also, I can get everywhere by bus; if there is a traffic jam, I can walk home. I think the criminal life will reflect changes in society too; if people are buying homes outside the city, the criminals will soon follow. Criminals want to avoid noise, smog, and pollution, too. Then, overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!

1.The first paragraph is used　 to _　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. list some figures　　　 B. make comparison

C. lead to the topic　 D. give suggestions

2.What did those moving outside think of their life in the city?

A. Cosy.　　　　　　　 　 B. Convenient.

C. Colorful.　　　　　　 D. Crowded.

3.What is the major problem for those who live in the countryside?

A. Being far from downtown.

B. Having gardens to take care of.

C. Failing to find parking lots.

D. Suffering heavy traffic on the road.

4.What is the author's attitude to his city life?

A. Approving..　　 　　 B. Ambiguous.

C. Grateful.　　　　　　 D. Doubtful.

Today is National Bike-to-Work Day. And on New York City’s jammed streets, people are cycling on hundreds of miles of new bike lanes. But New York’s widespread efforts to make streets safer for bikes have also left some locals complaining about the loss of parking spots and lanes for cars.

When the weather is good, Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal（用踏板踩）his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle. Naparstek supports the new lane.

Aaron: The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it’s possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around. This is what 21^st century New York City looks like.

Prospect Park West is still a one-way road, but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic, now it has two, plus a protected bike lane. Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone, including pedestrians, by slowing down cars and taking bikes off the sidewalk. But some longtime residents disagree. Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety. She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic.

Lois: We wanted a lane — the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe, that would keep the bikers safe. But we want it to be done the right way. And it has not been done the right way.

Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan. I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own.

Craig: I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in. You took what used to be a full street and you’re shrinking it.

Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood. But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%. Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that a mandate.

Caroline: If this was an election, we would have already had our victory. The public has spoken and they keep speaking. And I think, more importantly, the public is starting to vote with their pedals.

1.What does Aaron mean by saying “This is what 21^st century New York City looks like.”?

A．There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21 ^st century New York City.

B．Drivers slow down their cars and bikes are taken off the sidewalk in New York.

C．Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21 ^st century New York City.

D．It’s possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York.

2.According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT support the opponents of these new bike lanes?

A．Drivers lose parking spots and lanes for cars.

B．The two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents.

C．We took what used to be a full street so the road is broader than before.

D．The removal of one bike lane through a neighbourhood in Brooklyn was not supported by the majority of New Yorkers.

3.“A mandate” in Paragraph 8 was referred to a demand or command from ______.

A．the authority       B．the public         C．the supporters      D．the government

4.What of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A．Ride on National Bike-to-Work Day          B．A New Bike Lane Appears in New York

C．A Bike Lane Divides New Yorkers            D．Who Wins an Election
