2024 saw that the Ebola virus reappeared in Guinea and soon spread into neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone,killing over 7,800 people by the new year of 2024.It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever,which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc.
Ebola is named after the Ebola River,where it was first discovered in 1976.There are five different types of the Ebola virus,each named after where they first happened:Sudan,Ivory Coast,Reston,Bundibugyo,and Zaire.The deadliest of the five,Zaire,was responsible for the 2024 outbreak,and is believed to be attacking Guinea.
Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats,which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood.Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals.Once infected,a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.
Unfortunately,there are no diseasespecific treatments for Ebola.Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with physiological saline(生理盐水) to keep them in good condition.Ebola can kill 90% of those infected,especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients,they are forced to wear strict protective clothes,and in some cases,not even allowed to get close to the infected.The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.
What’s worse,since we live in an interconnected world,where the situation in one country can affect us all,the influences of Ebola are huge:damaging trade relations,affecting foreign visitors,and weakening entire countries.It is feared that the disease may spread throughout west African countries.For every country,a strong health system can decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of Ebola.
1.What is the function of the first paragraph in the whole passage?
A.To arouse the reader’s concern.
B.To summarize the whole passage.
C.To give a detailed description of Ebola.
D.To introduce the theme of the whole passage.
2.What can we infer about the Ebola virus?
A.It has caused a panic in many countries.
B.It is the most dangerous virus in the world.
C.A strong health system is important to fight against Ebola.
D.Anyone who was infected Ebola will die.
3.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________.
A.what the Ebola virus is
B.how the Ebola virus spreads
C.how the Ebola virus is treated
D.how the Ebola virus affects the life
4.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.There are no effective drugs to treat Ebola by far.
B.Ebola is now very common in Guinea.
C.Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.
D.Females are easier to be infected by Ebola.

Just 25 years ago,the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher,banker and doctor.Now,they want to be sports star,pop star and actor,according to a survey by the Guardian newspaper.
Rachel,a character in the popular TV show Glee,may be said to speak for British teenagers.“Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor.” She said.
Emma Brockes,a reporter with the Guardian,believes it is “the bad influence of celebrity(名人) culture” that is to blame.“When children wanted to be doctor,it wasn’t because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now;you go where the respect is.” She wrote.
It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression.Dr.Carlo Strenger,of Tel Aviv University,studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance:Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century.He told the Daily Mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network,which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷).”
“As humans,we naturally measure ourselves to those around us,but now we live in a global village.We are comparing ourselves with the most ‘important’ people in the world and finding ourselves wanting,” he said.Today,even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.
The way out?Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity.Dr.Strenger said that it is a process called “active selfacceptance through a constant search for selfknowledge through life.”
“The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,” he said.
5.According to Emma Brockes,what causes the increasing level of anxiety?
A.Choices of future careers.
B.Access to the global network.
C.Bad influences of celebrities.
D.Endless comparison with others.
6.Which of the following is TRUE of Dr.Carlo Strenger?
A.He is a newspaper reporter.
B.He is the spokesman of teenagers.
C.He tells success stories on TV.
D.He is against ranking people with wealth.
7.Dr.Carlo Strenger suggests that young people should ________.
A.seek active selfacceptance
B.stick to their own dreams
C.make great achievements
D.search for the secret of wealth
8.The text is mainly written to ________.
A.talk about job choices
B.analyse a social phenomenon
C.encourage celebrity culture
D.introduce three famous people
