Many experts say that 2015's allergy season is the worst one in recent history.The long winter with bitter cold temperatures delayed some trees from pollinating(对……授粉).When trees pollinate,they release pollen(花粉).Since not all trees pollinate at the same time,the delays are resulting in a large number of trees releasing pollen at once,which is the biggest cause of spring allergies.
About one in five Americans suffer from some kind of allergy,according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.Seasonal allergies are the most common,while not as severe as food and insect allergies.
Experts say those living in the New England region—which saw its last winter storm in March—might want to pay close attention to pollen levels.But,any region that's been slow to warm up this year may be affected.
The following are some tips for fighting allergies:
·Use as few hair products as possible or wash hair every day.Hair pastes cause the hair to become a pollen magnet(有吸引力之物).
·If possible,bathe at night.Your clothing,skin,and hair may pick up pollen throughout the day.If you can't bathe at night,make sure you at least wash your face at night,giving your eye area some special attention.
·Stay inside during and directly after thunderstorms and keep house windows shut.While light rains can decrease pollen counts,thunderstorms actually stir up pollen.
·Bathe your dog regularly and avoid allowing your dog to lay in bed with you.After being outside,your dog can bring pollen into your home.

Snow White.Paper.Freak(怪人).These are some of the not-so-nice names that I was called in sixth and seventh grade.That's because I was born with a medical condition called albinism(白化病),which I'll have for the rest of my life.
It's not just school that can be difficult,though.When I'm walking down the street,strangers stare.People come up and pet my hair,like I'm a little dog.Other times they talk to me like I'm 5 years old.My brain works just fine.Thank you very much!
In eighth grade,things started to change for the better because I met a girl named Rachel,who is now my best friend.She doesn't judge me.I love the fact that she doesn't care what anyone else thinks of her.It has helped me realize that I don't need to care what anyone thinks of me,either.
There are actually benefits to my condition.For one,I might qualify for a scholarship.And I got a free iPad,because it helps enlarge some of the text I need to read at school.And check out my eyes!I have a special eye colour.I love looking unique.
I know that I will always have to deal with being bullied and having visual
B.fresh fruits D.fruits with peel

C.Never care much about what people think of you.

Imagine being told not to drink,shower,or brush your teeth with tap water.That's
what happened to people of Toledo,Ohio,and parts of Michigan after tap water coming from Lake Erie was found to be unsafe.Hundreds of thousands of people were affected.
As a temporary solution,bottled water was trucked into the area and the Ohio National Guard was purifying(净化) water for people.But by Monday morning,the ban had been removed.“Our water is safe,” said Toledo mayor D Michael Collins.“Families can return to normal life.”To reassure people,he took a sip from a glass of the city's tap water.
Toledo is Ohio's fourth largest city.News about the water ban came after tests at one water-treatment plant showed high levels of the toxin microcystin(微囊藻毒素).Algae(藻类) caused the toxin.Following the warning,Ohio Governor John Kasich declared a state of emergency.Drinking the contaminated water could cause vomiting,cramps,and rashes(呕吐、腹部绞痛和出疹).
To try to solve the problem,city officials added carbon and chlorine(氯) to the water.Test results on Sunday showed that the toxins had probably reached a safe level,but Mayor Collins said two tests had come back “too close for comfort”.It wasn't until Monday that the mayor announced that six new water samples had come back clean and safe to drink.
Tap water accounts for two-thirds of the drinking water consumed in homes across the US.Officials test the quality of the water to make sure it is healthy for people to drink.During the emergency in Ohio and Michigan,officials began to talk about how to stop pollutants from polluting Lake Erie.The lake supplies drinking water to 11 million people and the toxins that polluted the region's drinking water didn't just suddenly appear.
Toledo mayor D Michael Collins said that,going forward,scientists and political leaders need to come together and figure out how to solve the algae problem in Lake Erie.
【语篇解读】 由于伊利湖受到污染,周边城市居民饮用水的安全受到了影响。 8.How many states were affected by water from Lake Erie? A.Two. C.Four.
B.Three. D.Five.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段“That's what happened to people of Toledo,Ohio,and parts of Michigan after tap water coming from Lake Erie was found to be unsafe.”可知,俄亥俄州托莱多城和密歇根州的部分地区都因为伊利湖水不安全而受到影响。
答案:A
9.D Michael Collins drank the city's tap water just to ________. B.show it was dangerous to drink C.act as a temporary solution D.show it was safe to drink
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Families can return to normal life.’To reassure people,he took a sip from a glass of the city's tap water.”可推知,柯林斯市长之所以喝自来水,是为了证明自来水已经可以安全饮用,以此来打消人们的顾虑。
答案:D
10.What does the underlined word “contaminated” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Polluted. C.Dirty.
B.Clean. D.Improved.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“News about the water ban came after tests at one water-treatment plant showed high levels of the toxin microcystin.”可知,禁水令在一家水处理厂的测试显示水中含超标的微囊藻毒素之后执行。再根据画线词下文“cause vomiting,cramps,and rashes”可知,饮用后会导致呕吐、腹部绞痛和出疹。由此可猜出画线词的含义。
答案:A
A.The tests on adding chlorine to the water. B.The measures the city officials took. C.The bans the city officials made.
D.Mayor Collins' opinion on solving the pollution problem.
解析:主旨大意题。第四段谈道:为了解决问题,市政官员向水中加碳和氯。接下来又谈到了几次水的检测。由此可知,本段主要谈论了市政官员处理水危机而采取的措施。
答案:B
D
Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically (同情地).“Let's take a look at your situation,” he said calmly.On a piece of paper he drew a straight line down the middle.He suggested that they list on the left side the things the man had lost, and on the right, the things he had left.“You don't need that column (栏) on the right side,” said the man sadly.“I have nothing left.”
Peale asked, “When did your wife leave you?” “What do you mean?” the man asked, “She hasn't left me.My wife loves me!” “That's great!” said Peale.“Then that will be number one in the right column — Wife hasn't left.Now, when were your children put into prison?” “That's a silly question.My children aren't in
prison!” “Good! That's number two in the right column — Children are not in prison,” said Peale, writing it down.
After a few more questions in the same column, the man finally got the point and smiled in spite of himself (不由自主地).“Things will change when you think of them in another way,” he said.
Change your thoughts and you will change your world.If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you will put yourself into a condition helpful to your goal.
【语篇解读】 改变思维就会改变你的世界。心中充满美好的期待,你就会实现自己的目标。
12.Why did the man feel he was in deepest darkness? A.Because his wife had quarreled with him and left. B.Because his children were put into prison. C.Because he had lost everything in his life.
D.Because he only thought of the dark side of his life.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段内容首先排除A、B; 根据文章内容可以知道,并非是这个人丢失了所有的东西才使他感到生活没有光彩,故可排除C。
答案:D
13.What would happen to the man at last? A.He went home happily and hopefully. B.He didn't believe what Peale had said. C.He filled the left column with bad things. D.He wrote down what Peale had said.
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段以及全文可以推知,这个人在文森特的开导下,不再感到悲伤,最后应该是高兴地、充满希望地回家了。
答案:A
14.Vincent Peale drew a straight line on a piece of paper to ________. A.show the man how to change his idea B.make a list of things the man needed to do C.help the man know the situation he was in

答案:C
15.The author suggests in the passage that we should ________.
A.ask for help when we are in trouble B.understand people who are in darkness C.think of the things in a positive way D.try to solve the problems by ourselves
解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段特别是“Change your thoughts and you change your world.”可知,作者建议我们要以积极的态度来思考问题。
答案:C
