　　Doctors are reporting a severe form of swine flu that goes straight to the lungs，causing severe illness in otherwise healthy young people and requiring expensive hospital treatment，the World Health Organization said on Friday.

　　Some countries are reporting that as many as 15 percent of patients infected(感染)with the new H1N1 virus need hospital care，further straining already overburdened healthcare systems，WHO said.

　　“During the winter season in the southern parts of the world，several countries have viewed the need for intensive care as the greatest burden on health services，” it said.

　　“Preparedness measures need to predict this increased demand on intensive care units，which could be overwhelmed by a sudden burst in the number of severe cases.”

　　Earlier，WHO reported that H1N1 had reached epidemic(蔓延) levels in Japan，signaling an early start to what may be a long influenza season this year，and that it was also worsening in tropical regions.

　　“Perhaps most significantly，clinicians from around the world are reporting a very severe form of disease，also in young and otherwise healthy people，which is rarely seen during seasonal influenza infections，” WHO said.

　　“In these patients，the virus directly infects the lung，causing severe respiratory(呼吸)failure.Saving these lives depends on highly specialized and demanding care in intensive care units，usually with long and costly stays.”

　　WHO estimates that more than 230 million people globally have asthma(哮喘)，and more than 220 million have diabetes(糖尿病).Obesity may also worsen the risk of severe infection，WHO said.The good news­people infected with AIDS virus do not seem to be at special risk from H1N1，WHO said.

　　A.the influenza season this year will not last long

　　B.people don't necessarily prepare for the burst of swine flu

　　C.the greatest burden on health services is the shortage of doctors

　　Steven Paul Jobs(斯蒂芬·乔布斯)was born in San Francisco on Feb.24,1955，abandoned by his biological parents from Syria and then adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs.

　　Mr.Jobs developed an early interest in electronics.He was guided by a neighbor，and electronics hobbyist.He was brash from an early age.As an eighth grader，after discovering that a crucial part was missing from a frequency counter he was assembling，he telephoned William Hewlett，the co­founder of Hewlett­Packard(惠普公司).Mr.Hewlett spoke with the boy for 20 minutes，prepared a bag of parts for him to pick up and offered him a job as a summer intern.

　　Mr.Jobs met Mr.Wozniak while attending the high school.The two took an introductory electronics class there.

　　The spark of their partnership was provided by Mr.Wozniak's mother.Mr.Wozniak had graduated from high school and enrolled at the University of California，when she sent him an article“Secrets of the Little Blue Box”，which detailed an underground hobbyist culture of young men known as phone_phreaks who were illegally exploring the nation's phone system.

　　Mr.Wozniak shared the article with Mr. Jobs，and the two set out to seek an abstruse figure identified in the article as Captain Crunch.The man had taken the name from his discovery that a whistle coming in boxes of cereal was tuned to a frequency that made it possible to make free long-distance calls simply by blowing the whistle next to a phone handset.

　　Captain Crunch was John Draper，a former electronic technician.Learning that the two young hobbyists were searching for him，Mr.Draper had come to Mr.Wozniak's dormitory room，where the three of them held a meeting.

　　Based on information they collected from Mr.Draper，Mr.Wozniak and Mr.Jobs later joined together on building and selling blue boxes，devices that were widely used for making free and illegal phone calls.They raised a total of $6,000 from the effort.

　　In 1972，Mr.Jobs went to Reed College，but after one semester he left college because it was consuming all of his parents' savings.Leaving school，however，freed his curiosity to follow his interests.Actrally that turned out to be priceless later on.

　　【解题导语】 文章介绍少年乔布斯对电子兴趣的形成与发展过程。作者重点描写少年乔布斯是如何对电子技术产生浓厚兴趣与强烈的好奇心，以及研发成实用产品的迫切心情。全世界人都学乔布斯，都想像他一样成功。该文章就为当代中学生向乔布斯学习点明了方向。

　　5.They all had much influence on the early development of Jobs' electronic interest EXCEPT________.

　　A.Mr.Wozniak's mother B.William Hewlett

　　C.Little Jobs' neighbor D.Mr.Draper

　　解析　该题考查学生的信息综合与概括能力。文中介绍了乔布斯少年时期对电子兴趣的形成与发展的过程，在这过程中有三个人对他影响很大，并给予了较大的帮助，他们分别是：第一个是在第一段的乔布斯的邻居(a neighbor)，他是一个电子爱好者，曾指导过他，算得上他的启蒙老师;第二个是惠普公司的创始人Mr.Hewlett，不仅给予解释而且提供大量的电子零件供他挑选;第三个是退休电子技工John Draper当面指导并参与盗打电话系统的研发。

　　答案　A

　　6.The underlined word “phone phreaks” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to________.

　　A.the Little Blue Box

　　B.a whistle coming in boxes of cereal

　　C.a figure which is hard to understand

　　D.a person illegally calling at others' expense

　　解析　该题主要考查学生对文中生僻词语意义的推断。关键信息是phone phreaks后面的定语从句：who were illegally exploring the nation's phone system，即非法盗打别人电话的人。

　　C.recommending Mr.Jobs and Mr.Wozniak to invent a new phone phreaks

　　D.introducing Captain Crunch to help Mr. Jobs and Mr.

　　解析　该题考查学生对细节的推断能力。Mr.Wozniak(沃兹尼亚克)母亲对乔布斯的人生事业所起的作用在文章第四段的第一句：The spark of their partnership was provided by Mr.Wozniak's mother;这里的关键词是spark of their partnership(合作的火花);即，沃兹尼亚克的母亲主要的作用是她促成乔布斯与沃兹尼亚克的合作。

　　8.Why did Mr.Jobs discontinue his college education?

　　答案　C
