So far, a dozen people—nine family members and three health workers—were infected after coming into close contact with the person with SARS. The rest of the 166 suspected American cases have something to do with people who were infected while traveling in Asia.

In the Gainesville, Fla. area, a 47-year-old woman was believed to have been infected at work by a 60-year-old woman who was the nation’s first suspected SARS case, said Tom Belcuore, director of the Alachua County health department.

Since the World Health Organization announced a worldwide warning last month about SARS, the United States has started infection control in hospitals and among families of suspected cases.

Florida officials said a school in Okaloosa County went through a cleaning after a 6-year-old boy suspected of having SARS appeared at school with slight symptoms. “Health officials are watching the boys’ contacts at school to make sure no one else is infected,” said Rob Hayes, health department spokesman, “The boy may have been infected from a family member,” Hayes said, “We immediately became aware of it and had the child sent home. He’s staying at home with his family until 10 days after symptoms disappear.”

The researchers guessed that the virus might have come from animals. However, the scientists have not ruled out the possibility that some other microbe might also help make SARS more serious or easier to catch.

Snow falls in the Earth’s extreme North and South throughout the year. However， the heaviest snowfalls have been reported in the mountains of other areas during winter. Snow is even known to fall near the Equator (赤道)，but only on the highest mountains.

Snow contains much less water than rain, but much of the water the world uses comes from snow. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power stations and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to seventy-five percent of all surface water supplies.

Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals (晶体). Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is limited. Snow also influences the movement of sound waves. The surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. As snow grows older or if there have been strong winds, it can become hard and flat. Then, the snow’s surface will help to send back sound waves.

Snow may be beautiful, but it can be deadly. It is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people. Many people die in traffic accidents on roads covered with snow and ice or from being seriously stuck in the winter storm. Others die from heart attacks caused by too much physical activity out in the cold.

People may not be able to avoid living in areas where it snows often. However, they can avoid becoming victims of snowstorms. People should stop driving and stay at home until the storm has passed. People living in these areas should carry emergency supplies in their vehicle. These include food，emergency medical supplies，and extra clothing to stay warm and dry.

A.provides up to seventy—five percent of water supplies worldwide

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

People will feel excited when it comes to holidays. But holidays can also be a very lonely time, particularly for those who spend the holidays alone. Here are some tips to keep yourself balanced and productive over the holidays.

Plan your time in advance

You’ll have several days to fill up, so plan ahead. Find books and movies you have always wanted to read and watch, and make a list of events that you’d like to attend.  71

Make a list of things you have always wanted to do but never had the time for. See this time alone as a gift: a stretch of time where you have total control to do whatever you want. Use it wisely.

Find Support

72   Note that scheduling time to talk with friends and loved ones makes contact more likely to happen. Introverts who tend to avoid social contracts get support from the inside, so journaling and taking some time for personal reflection is a good idea.

Don’t wallow(沉溺)

Holidays alone tend to be times when beating yourself up and getting depressed are more likely to happen.  73   Be grateful some people who are enduring family dinners wish they were in your place. Do something fun, instead!

Volunteer

Food banks, shelters and crisis centers are short-staffed during holidays when the demand is greatest. Helping out those in need will make you feel good, and will brighten other people’s holidays in turn.

74

Do something kind. It might be feeding birds or squirrels in the park or buying sandwich for a homeless person. It will make you feel lighter and more grateful for what you have.

Have faith

If you are religious, find a church service to attend, or seek out something you regard as spiritual such as meditation, yoga, exercise, a walk in the park, or being around animals. Use this as an opportunity to fill your spiritual juice.

75

A. Random Act of kindness

B. Accept Invitations

C. Extroverts can reach out to others during the holidays.

D. Avoid solo holiday depression by considering it as an opportunity to grow.

E. Following those advice on having a holiday, you shall get a wonderful whether you are extroverted or introverted.

F. Holiday is a nice thing for all the people whether you are successful of not.

G. Without a plan, you might find yourself being alone and bored, which will lower your spirits.

About half a year ago, an order came which the old building, along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street. So I had to move apart. Mr. Li now lives in the suburbs near a beautiful park. His new apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area.
