H 1 , fiber optics was already a well-established co
21、mmercial technology when the famous paper by Kao and Hockham, 2 (claim) the use of low-loss optical fibers for communication, appeared in 1966. The first low-loss silica fiber was described in 3 which appeared in October of 1970. The date of this publication is sometimes 4 (cite) as the beginning of
22、 the era of fiber communication. Although this development did receive 5 (consider) attention in the research community at the time, it was far from inevitable that a major industry would evolve. The technological barriers appeared formidable because there were serious doubts as to wh 6 these fiber
23、components could ever be produced economically enough, but the market potential was very significant. 7 ( consequence), research and development activity expanded rapidly, and a number of important issues were re 8 during the early 1970s. During the middle and late 1970s, the rate of progress toward
24、s marketable products accelerated as the emphasis 9 (shift) from research to engineering. Fibers with losses 10 app 1 the Rayleigh limit of 2 dB/km at a wavelength of 0.8 m were produced. By 1980 improvement in component performance, cost, and reliability led to major commitments on the part of tele

While the etiology is complex and multifactoria
26、l, the immediate causes are recognized as feeding at less than adequate levels for child growth and development, and recurrent infections, including diarrhoea, resulting mainly from ingestion of contaminated foods. As a result, many young children, particularly between six months to two years of age
27、, experience weight loss and impaired growth and development. Two such answers have arisen. Firstly, cereal fermentation is used for reducing the risk of contamination under the existing inappropriate conditions for food preparation and storage in many households. Secondly, a tiny amount of sprouted
28、 grains flour is used in preparation of weaning foods as a magic way to lessen the viscosity without decreasing energy density. A method to eliminate pathogenic bacteria and inhibit their growth during storage of weaning preparations can benefit nutrition and health in young children considerably. U
29、se of fermented foods for feeding children of weaning age appears to be an effective solution. Fermented foods have lower levels of diarrhoeal germ contamination, they are suitable for child feeding, and can be safely stored for much longer periods of time than fresh foods. The practice has been a t
30、raditional way of food preservation in many parts of the world. The antimicrobial properties of fermented foods and their relative higher safetydocumented since the early 1900“shave been indicated in a number of studies. What are the underlying mechanisms by which fermentation processes help to prev
31、ent or reduce contamination? A possible answer suggests that during the fermentation process foods become more acid. This explains why diarrhoea-causing bacteria are not able to grow in fermented foods as rapidly as in unfermented ones. It is also hypothesized that some of the germs present in the f
32、oods are killed or inhibited from growing through the action of antimicrobial substances produced during fermentation (Dialogue on Diarrhoea, 1990). The fermented foods can, therefore, be kept for a longer time compared to fresh ones. It has been shown that while contamination levels in cooked unfer
33、mented foods increase with storage time, fermented foods remain less contaminated. Whatever the underlying mechanisms, the fact is that the exercise reduces contamination without adding to the household cost both in terms of time and money. Its preparation is easy. The cereal flour is mixed with wat
34、er to form a dough which is left to be fermented; addition of yeast, or mixing with a small portion of previously fermented dough is sometimes needed. The dough can then be cooked into porridge for feeding to the child. Summary: Malnutrition and the resulting impaired growth and development in child
35、ren of weaning age in developing countries results not only from 1 but also from infections caused by contaminated food. Studies have addressed the problem of inadequate intake by using sprouted grains in food preparation. Contamination has been tackled with 2 . Both of these methods are, or were, u
36、sed traditionally and are practical and inexpensive. Fermented foods have higher 3 , and also have antimicrobial qualities. This means that contamination is decreased and that their 4 is increased. Fermentation occurs when 5 is left to stand, occasionally with simple additives.（分数：5.00）十、Section B(总
37、题数：3，分数：5.00)Today men are facing new expectations and new choices about their commitments to society, family and work. No longer certain what goals they should pursue, much less how they should pursue them, many men have found themselves in a no-man“s land, searching for new meanings and definition
38、s of maturity. In interviews I conducted with 138 men from diverse social and economic background, 36 percent defined their family and work commitments in terms of primary breadwinning, and 30 percent chose to eschew parenthood or to avoid involvement with children they had brought into the world. H
39、owever, about 33 percent had moved toward more rather than less family involvement over the course of their lives. These men develop an outlook on parenthood that included caretaking as well as economic support. They represent a growing group of fathers, most of whom are married to work-committed wo
40、men and have an egalitarian approach toward marriage and family commitments, who are changing diapers, pushing strollers, cuddling their children, and generally sharing in the pleasures and burdens of child rearing. Such men, whom I call “involved fathers“, are demonstrating a capacity, a willingnes
41、s, and an enthusiasm for parenting not seen in their fathers“ and grandfathers“ generations. An involved father, however, is not necessarily an equal father. Though men“s domestic participation has increased in recent years, his involvement has not kept in pace with women“s rapidly rising commitment
42、 to paid employment. A persistent “housework gap“ has left most women with more work and less leisure time than their male counterparts. According to some estimates, when the time spent performing paid work, housework, and child care is added together, men work an average of 88 fewer hours a year th
43、an do women. It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among men who support equality, their involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved toward a pattern that
44、 not long ago virtually all men considered anathema. One recent survey found that 73 percent of a group of randomly selected fathers agreed strongly that “their families are the most important facet of their lives“; 87 percent agreed that “dad is as vital as mom in raising kids“. The challenge is to
45、 create the social and cultural arrangements that would enable men to uphold these beliefs more easily.（分数：3.00）(1).Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

48、. The modernity of manufactured articles, of institutions, of attitudes, of works of art is constantly brought to our attention. We ourselves may well be judged by whether we are modern or not; indeed, many people go to considerable lengths to make quite certain that they will be accepted as modern-
49、modern in their dress, their behavior, their beliefs. And yet, we may ask, must earlier generations not have felt precisely the same? Surely men throughout history must have recognized themselves as modern. Surely innovators like Julius Caesar, Peter the Great or Oliver Cromwell saw themselves as breaking with th
