(2009年全国Ⅰ卷)We have met the enemy，and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey­pox，a disease usually found in the African rain forest，suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest，it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing or on human beings.“Most of the infections we think of as human infections started in other animals，” says Morse，director of the Center for Public Health Prepareden at Columbia University.It's not just that we're going to where the animals are，we're also bringing them closer to us.Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illne killed Isaksen's pets，and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea.“I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them”，says Isaken.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing，” says Peter Schantz.Monkey­pox may be the wake­up_call.Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners.We know very little about these new diseases.A new bug may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful.Monkey­pox doesn't look a major infectious disease.But it is not impoible to pa the disease from person to person.Ⅰ.根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要

Ⅱ.根据所读短文，选择正确答案

1．What dose the word “monkey­pox” mean? A．a container to keep monkeys.B．a medicine for a monkey disease C．an infectious disease D．a popular foreign pet 2.What does the phrase “the wake­up call” most probably means? A．a new disease

B．a clear warning C．a dangerous animal D．a morning call 3．What does the word “bug” mean?

答案：A

Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities.We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance.However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people.How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）? If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you.The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy.Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities.In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else.For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life.There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds.You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend.There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetne, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important.If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends.You can decide to feel inferior（自卑）because you don't have much money and you don't drive a nice car.You can believe that this is the reason that you don't have many friends in your life.On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.36.According to the author ___________ plays an important role in making friends.A.admitting your shortcomings B.self criticism C.modesty D.confidence 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。根据a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people.既然我们强调我们的缺点有可能在交朋友方面成为绊脚石，那么我们就应该自信，故选D。37.If you are not liked by a person, _________.A.you should find the reason in yourself B.you’d better talk with the person face to face C.you may not be the one to be blamed D.you and that person misunderstand each other 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you.The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy.不喜欢你也许和你一点关系都没有，你也许不应该受到责备，故选C。

38.We can learn from the third paragraph that ____________.A.your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws B.your weakne may also be your strengths in some way C.your negative qualities cause a person to reject you D.you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else.你的弱点也许是在某方面是你的强项，故选B。39.Which of the following is true according to the author? A.It is important to lose weight.B.It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.C.Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.(2)One mistaken idea about busine is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information.Quite_the_reverse，busine，politics，life itself are games which we must normally play with imperfect information.(1)依据信息“上学12年”、还“不会写一个句子”、“大喊大叫”，可知家长在指责校方，也就不难猜出illiterate意为“文盲”。

(2)前句说“关于商业的一个错误观点是商业可以看做完美的信息游戏”，而后句说“商业、政治、生活本身是非常不完美的信息游戏”，由此推之quite the reverse的意思是“正好相反”。
