　　课时作业5　Nelson Mandela—a modern hero

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2017·四川省德阳五中月考)

　　The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1,000 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world.

　　The outbreak is unprecedented (空前的) both in infection numbers and in geographic scope. Officials from the World Health Organization(WHO) said earlier this month the outbreak “is moving faster than our efforts to control it”， reported CNN. So far, the battle against the virus doesn't appear to be slowing down.

　　The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes: It's a disease with no cure that causes headaches and fever, severe diarrhea(腹泻), vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims.

　　It is understandable for people to be panicked, but those living outside Africa shouldn't be particularly concerned about contracting the virus, says a Washington Post article.

　　This is because transmission of Ebola requires direct contact with an infected person's blood, vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious(接触传染的). It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers. The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing.

　　Media outlets in the US and the UK are using terrifying headlines, wrongly claiming that people infected with the virus have traveled to their countries.

　　James Ball at The Guardian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is tragic, but it is important to keep_a_sense_of_proportion. Other infectious diseases, including common influence, are far, far deadlier.

　　1．What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa?

　　A．It has caused thousands of African deaths.

　　B．The fight against it is slowing down.

　　C．It has already traveled to the US and the UK.

　　D．Its spreading speed is beyond people's imagination.

　　2．The Ebola virus is terrifying because ________.

　　A．it cannot be cured at the moment

　　B．it is easily infected

　　C．it spreads faster than any other infectious disease

　　D．it has caused more deaths than other infectious diseases

　　3．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means ______.

　　A．keep a secretB．stay calm

　　C．keep silent

　　D．stay away from it

　　4．What is the author's attitude towards people's panic?

　　A．Objective.

　　B．Supportive.

　　C．Doubtful.

　　D．Understandable.

　　答案与解析

　　1．D　细节理解题。从第二段第一句The outbreak is unprecedented (空前的) both in infection numbers and in geographic scope.可知D项正确。

　　2．A　细节理解题。从第三段中The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes: It's a disease with no cure that causes headaches...可知A项正确。

　　Ⅱ.阅读填句

　　Raising Confident Kids

　　Self­esteem (自尊) is a collection of beliefs or feelings we have about ourselves.

　　Foster (培养) a sense of belonging

Let's come up with some ideas together.” Getting kids involved in problem­solving teaches them how to deal with challenges in the future.

　　范文

　　Dear_Linda，

　　I_can_understand_how_you_feel._When_I_was_young,_I had the same experience as you do. But after I talked to my parents heart to heart, we had a better understanding of each other. So try to communicate with your parents to let them know that you are wise enough to manage your own business well. To understand them better, you should always put yourself in their position. Don't you think that all parents in the world love their children even though they are sometimes strict and serious? If you can spend your time and money wisely, I am sure that your parents will trust you and you will enjoy more freedom.

　　By the way, it's understandable that your parents ask you to put your studies in the first place.

　　I hope my advice is of some help to you.

　　Yours，

　　Li_Hua
