21、阅读理解
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A surprisingly high number of city citizens in China suffer from poor health and many die at an early age.
Poor health with no sign of any identified disease, a condition known in China as “sub health,” is on the rise. Sub health is marked by general weakness, low energy levels and a poor immune system.
A survey held in 16 cities with over 1 million population showed high proportions of urban Chinese have been suffering sub health problems.
The numbers are particularly high in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with 75.31, 73.49, and 73.41 percent respectively of residents in poor health, the survey showed.
The problem happens mostly among senior and middle-level managers, clerks and other white-collar workers with high education levels, said the website of the Red Cross Society of China.
“The sub health condition, found in most cases among groups of people with a high educational level, will have bad effects on China’s long-term development and progress if not dealt timely and properly,” the website warned.
A survey by the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the average life of Chinese intellectuals is 58 years, 10 years lower than the nation’s average.
This early death phenomenon may be increasing.
Among Chinese people with high education in the 25-59 age group, the death rate for women is as high as 10.4 per cent. For men it is even higher: 16.5 percent.
A report published by the China Sub Health Academic Seminar said the country’s health is going through a transitional period and many long-term diseases have taken the place of infectious diseases such as SARS and flu as the main cause of death.
“Bad working habits, poor disease prevention knowledge, not enough governmental investment and lack of health education are the main reasons,” said Yang Xiaoduo, a healthcare expert with a local health association, who said China should race against time seeking measures to solve the sub health problem.
【1】According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Chinese people especially the city citizens are suffering from sub health problem.
B. Infectious diseases used to be the main cause of death across China.
C. Sub health problem will do damage to our country’s development.
D. Now more and more people realize the importance to stop sub health.
【2】 The following are the symptoms of sub health EXCEPT _______.
A. Weakness B. Low energy levels
C. A bad temper D. A poor immune system
【3】 What’s the average life of Chinese people?
A. 48 B. 58 C. 68 D. 78
【4】What will be talked about in the next paragraph?
A. The way to solve the problem of sub health.
B. More reasons for sub health.
C. Who suffer from sub health.
D. Why people with high education are more likely to suffer sub health.
22、It’s not easy to classify viruses. They are not dead, because they have genes and evolve. 【1】 So viruses have one task: to find a host and use it to reproduce. They reproduce by controlling the host’s cells, eventually causing them to burst and die, which will cause illness. These following facts can help you get rid of them.
【2】 Some viruses can even be spread via people who don’t have symptoms yet. Some super-spreaders may infect hundreds of other people without even realizing it. Take preventive action to prevent spreading viruses even when you don’t feel sick.
If you’re very overweight, you need to be extra cautious. Overweight people suffer from the flu virus 42 percent longer than those who aren’t overweight. Because being overweight is linked to many health problems, it may affect your immune system. 【3】 So you have to watch your weight.
Soap and water really are the best defense. Washing your hands with soap is practically a good way to prevent viruses. 【4】 Make sure to wash for a minimum of 20 seconds and dry your hands on a clean towel.
According to a research published in Molecules, green tea may be an immune booster. It may help you fight both cold and influenza viruses. Researchers found that drinking green tea regularly could help you recover from a cold quickly. 【5】
A．It can also make the virus not work.
B．You can be infected without showing symptoms.
C．Extra weight may make the flu shot less effective too.
D．Viruses can survive for a short time outside the human body.
E．Yet they are also not alive because they can’t survive on their own.
F．Regular exercise has been shown to improve your immune system.
G．That even could make you less likely to get a virus in the first place.
