But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that currently fewer than a quarter of American adults have received all age-appropriate vaccines (疫苗).
While some vaccines are given in childhood and give protection for life, others must be repeated into adulthood. The virus that causes measles, for instance, is a very stable virus, it doesn’t change — basically, the virus today is the same as it was in 1935, Flu and COVID viruses, on the other hand, change frequently, so the vaccine s need to be updated and repeated.
Here are the CDC’s vaccine recommendations for adults age 19 and older. (Note: Some guidelines change for adults with additional risk factors or health conditions. Ask your doctor for more information.)Flu: One dose (剂量) annually.
COVID-19: Boosters on your doctor’s recommendation.
MMR: One to two doses for those born in 1957 or later who have not been fully immunized.
Hepatitis A: People with certain medical conditions or those traveling overseas may require two to three doses, depending on the vaccine.
Hepatitis B: Two to four doses for all adults, depending on the vaccine.
HPV: Two to three doses before age 26(or before age 45, depending on your doctor’s recommendation).
Pneumococcal: For all adults over age 65, one dose PCV15 followed by PPSV23 or one dose PCV20.
Meningococcal: Recommended for previously unvaccinated adults who are in college or the military, or have a weak immune system.
25．Which of the childhood vaccine can provide lifelong protection
A．Measles. B．Hu C．COVID-19. D．MMR.
26．How many doses are needed for HPV
A．One dose annually. B．None before age 45.
C．Two to three doses before age 26. D．Depending on the vaccine.
27．Who need to take Meningococcal shots
A．Unvaccinated soldiers. B．All unvaccinated adults.
C．People with a strong immune system. D．Vaccinated college students.
【答案】25．A 26．C 27．A
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国疾控中心对19岁及以上成人疫苗接种建议，强调疫苗更新与加强接种的重要性，以应对不同疾病疫苗的持续需求。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段的“While some vaccines are given in childhood and give protection for life, others must be repeated into adulthood. The virus that causes measles, for instance, is a very stable virus, it doesn’t change — basically, the virus today is the same as it was in 1935, Flu and COVID viruses, on the other hand, change frequently, so the vaccine s need to be updated and repeated.(虽然有些疫苗在儿童时期接种并提供终身保护，但其他疫苗必须在成年后重复接种。例如，导致麻疹的病毒是一种非常稳定的病毒，它不会改变——基本上，今天的病毒与1935年的病毒相同，另一方面，流感和新冠病毒经常变化，因此疫苗需要更新和重复)”可知，麻疹病毒稳定，儿童时期接种可提供终身保护。故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据HPV疫苗部分“Two to three doses before age 26 (or before age 45, depending on your doctor’s recommendation)( 26岁之前（或45岁之前，根据医生的建议）接种两到三剂)”可知，在26岁前需接种2至3剂HPV疫苗。故选C。
27．细节理解题。根据Meningococcal疫苗部分“Recommended for previously unvaccinated adults who are in college or the military, or have a weak immune system.(建议用于大学或军队中或免疫系统较弱的未接种疫苗的成年人)”可知，未接种过疫苗的军人、大学生或免疫系统较弱的成年人需要接种脑膜炎疫苗。故选A。

Kruger National Park Animals
Nothing will prepare you for the huge volume of wildlife that you’ll be able to see in Kruger National Park. The park is home to 114 different species of reptiles; more than 500 species of birds; and 147 mammals. Not only will you have the opportunity to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino), but you’ll see tons of other mammals like zebras, giraffes, hyenas, hippos, impalas, and many more.
When is the Best Time to Visit Kruger National Park
The driest months being June, July, and August are the best time of year to visit the park, when the days are sunny and warm and the nights are cooler. Many trees and shrubs have lost their leaves, and water sources dry up, making it easier to spot game around the remaining waterholes.
Driving in Kruger National Park
What makes Kruger National Park unique from other parks is that it is accessible via self-drive. Many people who come to the park come with their own vehicle because it’s considerably more affordable than taking a guided tour. Doing a self-drive safari(游猎) also gives you more flexibility with your timing.

C．By using illustrations. D．By classifying facts.

If you haven’t given much thought lately to smallpox, polio or diphtheria, that’s because these once-dangerous diseases either have been completely rid of or are now well controlled, thanks to the success of earlier vaccination (接种疫苗) programs. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that currently fewer than a quarter of American adults have received all age-appropriate vaccines (疫苗).
While some vaccines are given in childhood and give protection for life, others must be repeated into adulthood. The virus that causes measles, for instance, is a very stable virus, it doesn’t change — basically, the virus today is the same as it was in 1935, Flu and COVID viruses, on the other hand, change frequently, so the vaccine s need to be updated and repeated.
Here are the CDC’s vaccine recommendations for adults age 19 and older. (Note: Some guidelines change for adults with additional risk factors or health conditions. Ask your doctor for more information.)Flu: One dose (剂量) annually.
COVID-19: Boosters on your doctor’s recommendation.
MMR: One to two doses for those born in 1957 or later who have not been fully immunized.
Hepatitis A: People with certain medical conditions or those traveling overseas may require two to three doses, depending on the vaccine.
Hepatitis B: Two to four doses for all adults, depending on the vaccine.
HPV: Two to three doses before age 26(or before age 45, depending on your doctor’s recommendation).
Pneumococcal: For all adults over age 65, one dose PCV15 followed by PPSV23 or one dose PCV20.
Meningococcal: Recommended for previously unvaccinated adults who are in college or the military, or have a weak immune system.
25．Which of the childhood vaccine can provide lifelong protection
A．Measles. B．Hu C．COVID-19. D．MMR.
26．How many doses are needed for HPV
A．One dose annually. B．None before age 45.
C．Two to three doses before age 26. D．Depending on the vaccine.
27．Who need to take Meningococcal shots

（2024·安徽合肥·一模）There are thousands of puzzles to choose from for you, such as jigsaw puzzles, puzzle books and more. They all have something in common: they test your skills or knowledge. Here are four of the most common:
Word puzzles
One of the most popular word puzzles — the crossword. It can be done with paper and pencil or online. Sometimes word puzzles involve finding new words within a large group of letters. This type of word puzzle is called a word search.
Word puzzles usually test your vocabulary. Knowing the language that the game is designed in is required for success, however.
Mechanical puzzles
Mechanical puzzles have pieces that must be arranged in some way. The world’s best-selling puzzle, the Rubik’s Cube, is a mechanical puzzle. As of 2020, over 450 million Rubik’s Cubes had been sold.
Jigsaw puzzles also fall into this category. They typically involve putting pieces in the right place to form a picture. Jigsaw puzzles have from two to over 550,000 pieces — the largest one on record.
Logic puzzles
Figuring out the solution to a logic puzzle requires careful thought rather than guessing. Sudoku and Mine Finder are examples of logic puzzles. In Mine Finder players must determine where the mines are hidden in a grid.
Math puzzles
Math puzzles involve numbers, words or objects and the use of math. Surprisingly, the ever-popular Candy Crush is classified as a math puzzle. Math skills are required for players to successfully move and match colored candies.
There are many other kinds of puzzles. But no matter which you prefer, puzzles are a great way to entertain.

（2024·安徽滁州·二模）Kruger National Park is, in a word, life-changing. One of the top attractions in South Africa, and one of the largest national parks in the world, Kruger National Park is a must for any wildlife lover.
Kruger National Park Animals
Nothing will prepare you for the huge volume of wildlife that you’ll be able to see in Kruger National Park. The park is home to 114 different species of reptiles; more than 500 species of birds; and 147 mammals. Not only will you have the opportunity to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino), but you’ll see tons of other mammals like zebras, giraffes, hyenas, hippos, impalas, and many more.
When is the Best Time to Visit Kruger National Park
The driest months being June, July, and August are the best time of year to visit the park, when the days are sunny and warm and the nights are cooler. Many trees and shrubs have lost their leaves, and water sources dry up, making it easier to spot game around the remaining waterholes.
Driving in Kruger National Park
What makes Kruger National Park unique from other parks is that it is accessible via self-drive. Many people who come to the park come with their own vehicle because it’s considerably more affordable than taking a guided tour. Doing a self-drive safari(游猎) also gives you more flexibility with your timing.
