22、irus (病毒) of this influenza. There are three main types of the influenza virus. The most important of these are types A and B, each of them having several sub-groups. With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus group A, but he did not know the subg

23、roup. He reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. W.H.O. published the important news alongside reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15-20% of the population had become ill. As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, they began t

24、he standard tests. They found that by reproducing itself at very high speed, the virus had multiplied more than a million times within two days. Continuing their careful tests, the doctors checked the effect of drugs used against all the known sub-groups of type A virus on this virus. None of them g

25、ave any protection. This then, Was something new. a new influenza virus against which the people of the world had no ready help whatsoever. Having isolated the virus they were working with, the two doctors now conducted tests on some specially selected animals, which contact influenza in the same wa

26、y as human beings do. In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments revealed that the new virus spread easily, but that it was not a killer.

31、lled.In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography (摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguere, an

32、other Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take

33、pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The p

34、ictures were unusual because they were very lifelike. Photographs also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed feelings like other kinds of art.（分数：15.00）(1).The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of _.（分数：3.00）A.h

Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken ad

38、vantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has

39、nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they hav

40、e. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth ,comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested

41、in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn“t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, delicately picking her way

45、 of tasteD.an expression of creativity(3).The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _ of clothing.（分数：3.00）A.costB.appearanceC.comfortD.suitability(4).According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?（分数：3.00）A.New fashions in clothing are cr

46、eated for the commercial exploitation of womem.B.The constant changes in women“s clothing reflect their strength of character.C.The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.D.Fashion designers should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.The earliest immigrants t

47、o North America found Indians already living there. The Indians numbered about 500,000 at that time. Their society was a primitive society, but they lived peacefully and welcomed the white strangers to the land. However, these early immigrants from Europe didn“t want to share the land with the nativ

48、es. They killed off many of the Indians, seized their land or pushed them off to lands farther away. Today the Indians, not more than half a million, live in poverty and misery on the land on which they were once masters. The earliest immigrants were the Spanish, who settled in the southern part of

49、what is now the US. The next large group were the English, after the English came the French, Dutch, Irish, Germans, and other nationality groups, mostly European.
