After disappearing for over 19 years, measles (麻疹) is making a comeback in America. Since January 2019, the disease has infected more than 700 people, mostly small children, and the number seems to be increasing daily. Measles is an infectious disease that typically begins with a high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes. Many people also lose their appetites and feel sleepy. About three to four days after the symptoms start, the person breaks out into a rash (皮疹) that begins on the face at the hairline and then spreads to the neck and the rest of the body. In healthy people, the recovery, which takes between two to three weeks, starts soon after the rash begins. However, for about 40 percent of patients — mainly kids under the age of five or older adults — the disease often leads to pneumonia (肺炎), which, if left untreated, could result in death. The recent outbreak is thought to have been caused by travelers picking up the virus in a country where the disease is still existing and exposing it to an unvaccinated (未接种的) community in the US. In New York, it was carried back by someone who had recently visited Israel, which is currently undergoing a significant measles, while in Washington, “patient zero” was infected by a type that is currently circulating in Europe. To limit the spread of the disease before it gets out of hand, US health officials are attempting to educate communities with high rates of unvaccinated children. They are also urging adults to consult with their physicians and get injected if considered necessary by the doctor. Hopefully, health officials worldwide will be able to convince parents that vaccinating their children will protect, not harm, them. 【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about? A.The symptoms of measles. B.The possible results of measles. C.The causes of measles. D.The cures for measles 【2】Why did some people develop measles in America? A.Because it is too hot this year. B.Because people are too stressed. C.Because pollution is too serious. D.Because the virus was taken to America. 【3】What do we know about measles? A.It never disappeared in America. B.It starts with a rash. C.It is mild to everyone. D.It is possible to limit its spread. 【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A.Health. B.Education. C.Science. D.Entertainment. |

If you also have a friend like Francia Raisa, you are really lucky. On Thursday, singer and actress Selena Gomez, 25, used Instagram(照片墙，一款社交软件) to explain why she was “laying low” this summer. She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her friend Francia Raisa holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplant(肾脏移植) from her best friend because of complications(并发症) from lupus(狼疮), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs. People with lupus may first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on their bodies and can go for a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious. Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up. According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou, roughly a third to one-half of people with lupus develop kidney disease, and up to one in five of them will eventually need a transplant, sometimes because they weren’t treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attacking the kidneys. Though Gomez said that she was “very well now,” she warned about the dangers of not taking medical diagnoses（医学诊断） seriously, like she did before. Her Instagram post also called attention to two major health topics: the need for living organ donators and the fact that Gomez represents three groups more likely to be diagnosed with lupus and lupus-related kidney disease. Nine out of 10 people diagnosed with lupus are women, and most develop the disease between the ages of 15 to 44. And lupus is two to three times more common among women of color, including Hispanic (西班牙裔）women, according to the Lupus Foundation. Raisa is Latin（拉丁人）, and Gomez’s father is of Mexican origin. While it’s not essential that the organ donator and receiver be of the same race, people who share a similar racial background sometimes are better matched, according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing. 【1】What can we learn about Selena Gomez? A.She is lucky. B.She is selfless. C.She is optimistic. D.She is encouraging. 【2】What is lupus like at its early stage? A.It is deadly. B.It causes a kidney disease. C.Its symptoms are psychological. D.It is hard to recognize. 【3】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.People with lupus. B.Colored women lupus patients. C.Lupus patients with kidney disease. D.Women between the ages of 15 to 44. 【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Raisa and Gomez are from the same race. B.Gomez has fully recovered thanks to the kidney from Raisa. C.The organ from the donator of the same race matches the receiver better. D.It is vital for the donator and receiver to be of the same race. |
