Thatsbecause the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after theillness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy,the sooner relief will come.The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses cancause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three virusesflu A, B and C.澳德网站 .com澳德博客 澳德咨询 电话 86752788 86753516Lets make it happen!追求卓越, 成就梦想4 沈阳市澳德外语培训中心考试复习资料大学英语四级考试试题There is no care for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine( 疫苗) , which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common coldhave many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically developgradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever isone of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptomsincluding fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are moresevere than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschoolage children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small childrenhave flu-like symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well.However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain reliefbecause of the risk of Reye syndrome( 综合症) ,a rare but serious condition of theliver and central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing andavoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood ofcatching one.11.According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help _.A) shorten the duration of the illnessB) the patient buy medicine over the counter.C) the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugsD) prevent the people from catching colds and the flu12.We learn from the passage that _.A) one doesnt need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the fluB) aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicines for the fluC) delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous systemD) over-the-counter drugs can e taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the flu13.According to the passage, to combat the flu effectively, one should _.A) identify the virus which causes itB) consult a doctor as soon as possibleC) take medicine upon catching the disease澳德网站 .com澳德博客 澳德咨询 电话 86752788 86753516Lets make it happen!追求卓越, 成就梦想5 沈阳市澳德外语培训中心考试复习资料大学英语四级考试试题D) remain alert when the disease is spreading14.Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?A) A stuffy nose.B) A high temperature.C) A sore throat.D) A dry cough.15.If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents _.A) are advised not to give them aspirinB) should watch out for signs of Reye syndromeC) are encourage to take them to hospital for vaccinationD) should prevent them from mixing with people running a feverPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, manyAmericans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement andeconomic success, for possible answers.However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americansexpected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put onacademic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 Americanspreschools teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked aboutvarious aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japaneserespondents( 答问卷者) listed ”to give children a good start academically” as one oftheir top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half theAmericans respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To preparechildren for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do notteach reading, writhing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence,concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority ofyoung Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent ofJapanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of theirtop three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the moreindividually oriented( 强调个体发展的) Americans listed group experience as one oftheir top three reasons. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japaneseearly childhood education continues into elementary school education.澳德网站 .com澳德博客 澳德咨询 电话 86752788 86753516Lets make it happen!追求卓越, 成就梦想6 沈阳市澳德外语培训中心考试复习资料大学英语四级考试试题Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. SomeJapanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potentialdevelopment. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that haveelementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their youngchildren attend a university-based program, it will increase the childrens chances ofeventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several moreprogressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavyintellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.16.We learnt from the first paragraph that many Americans believe _.A) Japanese parents are more involved in preschools education than American parentsB) Japans economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC) Japanese preschools education emphasizes academic instructionD) Japans higher education in superior to theirs (You are using AUDE Languagesmaterials)17.Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance to_.A) problem solvingB) group experienceC) parental guidanceD) individually-oriented development18.In Japans preschool education, the focus is on _.A) preparing children academicallyB) developing childrens artistic interestsC) tapping childrens potentialD) shaping childrens character19.Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to_.A) broaden childrens horizonB) cultivate childrens creativityC) lighten childrens study loadD) enrich childrens knowledge2
