In its liquid form, medici

This is why pills and capsules (胶囊) are also used.The pills and capsules being sold today arch t perfect, either. Pills dissolve in the stomach. The medicine in the pills is released when the pills diss
29、olve. But often, the pills dissolve too quickly.Scientists have been trying to develop a pill that can release medicine slowly over a long period of time. They have applied their knowledge of plants to produce the “osmotic (渗透的) pump pill“.The cell walls of plants are made of cellulose (纤维素). Cellul
30、ose is a very porous substance. Their holes are big enough to allow water through the cell walls. As water enters a cell, pressure builds up in the cell. The pressure pumps other substances out of the cell. These substances leave the cell through the cellulose wall. This slow, steady process is call
31、ed osmosis.The osmotic pump pill is coated with synthetic cellulose. Liquid medicine is contained in the pill. The holes in the cellulose coating of the pill are big enough to allow water in the pill. As water from the body enters the pill, pressure builds up in the pill. The medicine is then slowly
32、 pumped out of the pill.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage implies that the osmotic pump pill is better than other pills and capsules because_.

36、 2/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Adam Smith, a writer in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England.“One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it
37、, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eigh
38、teen distinct operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.“Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a piece. But if all of them had worked sepa
39、rately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not turn out any pin, each of them have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw thi
40、s but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce, more of wha
41、t they already have.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to_. A. take advantage of the division of labor B. explain the causes of the division of labor C. understand the effects of the division of labor D. introduce the division of labor into England（分数：2.00）A.B.C.
42、D.(2).Adam Smith saw that the division of labor _. A. enabled each worker to make pins more quickly and more cheaply B. increased the number of people employed in factories C. increased the possible output per worker D. improved the quality of pins produced（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Adam Smith mentioned t
43、he number 4 800 in order to _. A. show the advantages of the division of labor B. emphasize how powerful the individual worker was C. show the advantages of the old craft system D. emphasize the importance of increased production（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the writer, Adam Smith s mistake was
44、in believing that division of labor_. A. inevitably led to economic development B. was an efficient way of organizing work C. increased the production of existing goods D. was an important development in methods of production（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following could serve as an appropriate t
45、itle for the passage ? A. The Theory of Division of Labor B. Adam Smith as the Discoverer of Division of Labor C. Adam Smith, the English Economist D.

46、developing countries has always been the high death rate for infants and children. The World Bank studies suggest that as much as two thirds of the difference in life-spans between people in developed countries and those in developing ones can be traced to differences in survival rates for children
47、under five. It is here where the most improvement has come. According to UN estimates, significant regional drops in infant mortality - ranging from 25 percent to 60 percent and centering near 40 percent - appear to have taken place between the late 1950s and the late 1970s in northern Africa, Latin America, and A
