ng against the rule of English B. Protecting local languages and identities C. Globalization and multilanguage trend D. To maintain the purity of language by law D Women who own cats are more likely to have mental health problems and kill themselves because they can be infected by a mon parasite(寄生虫 ) that can be caught from cat litter(猫砂 ), a study has found. Researchers found women infected with the Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) parasite(刚地弓形虫 ), which is spread through contact with cat waste or eating undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables, are at increased risk of attempting suicide. The study involved more than 45,000 women in Denmark. About a third of the world39。 s population is infected with the parasite, which hides in cells in the brain and muscles, often without producing symptoms. The infection, which is called toxoplasmosis(弓形虫病 ), has been linked to mental illness, such as schizophrenia(精神分裂症 ), and changes in behavior. The study39。 s senior author Doctor Teodor Postolache, an associate professor of psychiatry(精神病学 ) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in the United States, said, We can39。 t say with certainty that T. gondii caused the women to try to kill themselves, but we did find a predictive association between the infection and suicide attempts later in life that deserves additional studies. Doctor Albert Reece, vice president of medical affairs at the University of Maryland, said, T. gondii infection is a major public health problem around the world, and many people don39。 t realize they39。 re infected. Dr Postolache is a leading expert on suicide neuroimmunology(神经免疫学 ). Suicide is a critically important mental health issue. About one million people mit suicide and another 10 million attempt suicide worldwide each year. We hope that this type of research will one day help us find ways to save many lives that now end too early in suicide. Dr. Postolache39。 s research team at the University of Maryland was the first to report a connection between T. gondii and suicidal behavior in 2020. He is cooperating with researchers in Denmark, Germany and Sweden to confirm and investigate the way leading to this association. The T. gondii parasite thrives in the intestines(肠 ) of cats, and it is spread through their waste. All warmblooded animals can bee infected through contact with it. Humans can bee infected by changing their infected cats39。 litter boxes, eating unwashed vegetables, drinking water from a polluted source, or by eating undercooked or raw meat. Not washing kitchen knives after preparing raw meat before handling another food item also can lead to infection. Pregnant women can pass the parasite directly to their unborn babies and are advised not to change cat litter boxes to avoid possible infection. Babies don39。 t produce antibodies to T. gondii for three months after they are born, so the antibodies present in their blood represented infection in the mothers. The scientists studied Danish health patients to determine if any of these women later attempted suicide, including cases of violent suicide attempts which may have involved guns, sharp instruments and jumping from high places. The study found that women infected with T. gondii were one and a half times more likely to attempt suicide pared to those who were not infected, and the risk seemed to rise with increasing levels of the T. gondii antibodies. Dr Postolache noted limitations to the study, such as the inability to determine the cause of the suicidal behavior. The findings were published online in the Archives of General Psychiatry. 32. The mon way which is more likely to be infected with the disease is _____. A. to eat unwashed meat or undercooked vegetables B. to clean a place where a cat once lived for a time C. to pass the infection to her unborn baby during a woman39。 s pregnancy D. to reuse kitchen tools which have been used to cut raw meat 33. What is the consequence if a woman is infected with the parasite in the passage? A. Having a high fever. B. Doing deliberate selfharm. C. Keeping a depressed mood. D. Being bad tempered. 34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Women have a higher risk to be infected by the parasite than men. B. The result of the research may help the scientists to find ways to stop suicide in advance. C. The scientists will continue their research into the possible connection. D. The risk of being infected seems to rise with the decreasing levels of the antibodies. 35. Which of the following statements would probably be the best title of the passage? A. Why are women more likely to mit suicide? B. Women should keep away from cats. C. Ways found to deal with women39。 s mental problems. D. Are women who own cats at a suicide risk? 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 Selfie Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie.
