A、itenablespeopletobesmarter

B、itmakespeoplemorecheerful

C^ithelpspeopletobehealthier

D、itrelievespeople'sfrustration

標準答案：A

知識點解析：首段首句斃到的smarter和healthier分別出現在選項A和Cohealthier

是說原諒別人會讓人更健康；但是，川聞2在第1句是說原諒比發泄生氣更明

智，而不是說原諒可以讓人smarler。因此，選項A并非原諒別人的好處，為本題

答案。選項B和D在第2句中均有提及，不符合題意。

義，因此選D。

A^informthereader

B、instructthereader

C、comparetwowaysoftreatinganger

D、fbcusontheadvantageofforgiving

標準答案：B

度。由此可見，選項B為本題答案。

B、publichealth'sroleinfightingbioterrorism

C、thefundingproblemfbrthepublichealthsystem

D^theprocedurestoerasethethreatofbioterrorism

標準答案：B

知識點解析：首段第3句中的Until...wasunrecognized可理解為“直到最近……才

認識到公共衛生的重要性”，可見該句暗示公共衛生的重要性一直被忽視，因此本

題應選B。

2001年的那次炭疽菌襲擊事件，選項C是對該主句的近義改寫，為本題答案。

28、Whatdoestheauthorthinkoftheresearchoninfectiousdiseases?

A.Itwillbealong-termprocess.

Thefindingsarenotsolidenough.

CNWhathasbeendoneissatisfactory.

D、Moreprofoundworkneedstobedone.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：本題是針對第3段整段的主要內容。第3段首句是該段的主題句，而

在其他句子里，strengthen,improve,accelerate,bettermodeling,belleranalysis等詞

也表明對于傳染病的研究在各方面仍需做更深入的工作，選項D概括了作者的觀

點。

29、HowwasSARSdifferentfromotherinfectiousdiseases?

A^Itspreadsfrompersontoperson.

B、Itisthelatestengineeredinfection.

C^Ittakesalongtimetoidentifythesymptoms.

D^Itmanifeststheprogressinrelevantresearch.

處，選項A就是because后引出的內容，所以是本題答案。
