　　(2016·郑州二检)

　　Alexander Fleming was born in Scotland in 1881.

　　He left school when he was thirteen years old；for a few

　　years he worked in a shipping company. When he was

　　about twenty years old，an uncle died and left him some money.

　　At his elder brother's advice, he took an entrance

　　examination for medical school. He passed brilliantly

　　and joined St. Mary's Hospital in London. There he met

　　Sir Almroth Wright and that meeting changed the

　　course of his life. When he graduated, he joined Wright's

　　laboratory staff instead of going into private practice as

　　he had intended.

　　During the First World War, he served in the Royal

　　Army Medical Corps and was shocked by what he saw

　　in France. Hundreds of wounded soldiers, with bacteria crawling in their wounds ，were brought to his hospital. But there was little he could do for them as the antiseptics in use then were not effective for deep wounds. He was horrified by the suffering and the numerous deaths, but Fleming was a determined man full of courage and he vowed to discover something that would kill these bacteria and save lives.

　　After the war he continued his research. For years he toiled on；then in September 1928 he made one of the greatest discoveries of all time. He had been growing colonies of bacteria in flat，open dishes. A few days later he saw that mould had settled in one of the dishes. However, he did not throw away the dish; instead he examined it and saw that no bacteria grow near the mould. “Had the mould killed the bacteria？” he asked himself.

　　A chemical from the mould had done just that. Fleming later named this chemical penicillin. Thus one of the greatest achievements of man had taken place.

　　But penicillin was not immediately used—years were to pass before that happened. More knowledge about the drug was gained and in 1941 many people were successfully treated. Before long penicillin was produced on a large scale，and during the Second World War it helped save thousands of wounded soldiers.

　　(2016·宝鸡一测)

　　YICHANG, Hubei, July 31 (Xinhua)—The Three Gorges Dam has successfully controlled the biggest flood crest (洪峰) on the Yangtze River this year, officials said on Tuesday.

　　The Three Gorges Reservoir reduced the discharge (排出) of floodwater to 44 000 cubic metres per second on Tuesday morning from the previous 48 000 cubic metres，to protect the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Meanwhile, the water level in the reservoir rose from 144.03 metres at midday on Monday to 145.19 metres at 7：00 p, m. on Tuesday.

　　“The flood crest passed the Three Gorges Dam smoothly，” said Cao Guangjing, deputy general manager of the China Yangtze Three Gorges Project Corporation (CTGPC)．

　　Cao said it was the first time the dam had to control flood crest since construction of the world's largest dam was completed on May 20 last year.

　　The inflow was 50 000 cubie metres per second on Tuesday, 2500 cubic metres less than Monday's peak.

　　It was earlier predicted that inflow would top 56 700 cubic metres per second on Tuesday as more rain was forecast. However, the wind divided the rain clouds on Monday afternoon，said Cao.

　　Water levels on the middle and lower reaches of the river were on the rise, said Cheng Haiyun，general engineer of the Yangtze River Hydrological Bureau.

　　Hubei Province，where the Three Gorges Project is located, is at risk. The provincial government had given orders to watch over the levees (堤坝) round­the­clock.

　　The Three Gorges Reservoir is capable of holding 39. 3 billion cubic metres of water, including 22.15 billion cubic metres extra in the flood season when it reaches its 175 metres.

　　Most of the flood­prone areas are located at the middle and lower reaches, in economically developed regions that are home to 15 million people and contain 1.5 million hectares of farmland. Four major floods have occurred there in the 20th century, with the most recent in 1998 killing 1526 people.

　　(2016·杭州二检)

　　Dogs are known for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal (非法的) drugs. Now a study suggests that the animal known as man's best friend can even find bladder (膀胱) cancer.

　　Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual smells. Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these smells, even in very small amounts, in urine (尿). The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.

　　The study follows reports of cases where, for example，a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The mole (黑痣) was later found to be skin cancer. Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England. They trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved (需要) urine collected from bladder cancer patients, from people with other diseases and from healthy people. Each dog was tested eight times. In each test there were seven samples for the dogs to smell. The dog was supposed to signal the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it. Two cocker spaniels (小猎犬) were correct fifty­six percent of the time. But the scientists reported an average success rate of forty­one percent. As a group，the study found that the dogs chose the correct sample twenty­two out of fifty­four times. That is almost three times more often than would be expected by chance alone.

　　The

　　British

　　Medical

　　Journal

　　published

　　the research. In all, thirty­six bladder cancer patients and one hundred and eight other people took part. During training，all the dogs reportedly even identified (识别) a cancer in a person who had been tested healthy before the study. Doctors found a growth on the person's right kidney (肾). Carolyn Willis said dogs could help scientists identify the compounds produced by bladder cancer. That information

　　could

　　then

　　be

　　used

　　to

　　develop machines to test for the chemicals. Now, doctors must remove tissue (组织) from the bladder to test for cancer. The team also plans to use dogs to help identify markers for other kinds of cancer.

　　46．Dogs can find all the following except ________ according to the passage.

　　A．a lost child

　　B．illegal drugs

　　C．bladder cancer

　　D．lung cancer

　　答案：D　从文章第一段可知，狗能发现走失的人和毒品，现在的研究又表明狗能发现膀胱癌，但研究还没有表明狗能发现其他癌症。

　　47．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3

　　refer to?

　　A．The dog.

　　B．A patient.

　　C．The sample.

　　D．The test.

　　答案：C　it指代此句中的the one，而the one又指代上文的samples中来自膀胱癌患者的那一个。

　　48．The best title for this passage might be ________.

　　A．A Study Says Dogs Can Smell Cancer

　　B．Why Dogs Can Smell Cancer

　　C．A Study on Dogs' Special Ability

　　D．A Study on Bladder Cancer

　　答案：A　本文主要介绍狗能嗅出膀胱癌的一项研究成果。选项B、D都只涉及短文的部分内容，选项C太笼统。

　　49．Dogs can smell cancer because ________.

　　A．they can smell faster than man

　　B．their sense of smell is very sensitive

　　C．they lie down next to patients

　　D．they show great interest in moles

　　答案：B　从第一段以及第二段的最后一句可知，狗的嗅觉比人类要灵敏数千倍，这是狗能嗅出癌症的原因。

　　(2016·南通二调)

　　Are Baiji Dolphin Extinct?

　　Does the Yangtze River still have baiji ，the graceful，grey dolphin with tiny eyes and a long narrow beak?

　　Since November 6 ，a team of scientists from China, Switzerland, the United Kingdom ，the United States, Germany and

　　Japan have been searching for any sign of the freshwater dolphin on the middle and lower sections of the river. After six

　　weeks，they came back empty­handed.

　　Wang Ding, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is the head of the team, said he has seen a sharp decline in the

　　baiji population over the past few decades. However, he is still unwilling to call the species extinct, and adds, “We will try

　　every effort to save them as long as they are not found to be extinct.”

　　The baiji is shy and nearly blind and is one of the world's oldest dolphin species. It dates back some 20 million years

　　and is found only in the Yangtze. It's listed as one of the 12 most endangered animal species in the world.

　　Around 400 baiji were believed to be living in the Yangtze until the 1980s. A 1997 survey spotted 13. Two years later

　　their number was down to two.

　　The rapid disappearance of this dolphin over the past two decades coincided with (与……同时) the rapid expansion

　　of economic development along the river. Research on some dead baiji collected in recent years showed that more than 90

　　percent of the deaths were caused by human activities.

　　One reason is that over­fishing has cut the dolphin's food sources. Dams built along the river and neighboring waterways have also kept them from swimming into and out of their habitats. Meanwhile, waste discharge (排放) has seriously

　　The disappearance of the baiji would be the first instance of a large aquatic mammal (水生哺乳动物) being driven to

　　extinction since hunting killed off the monk seal (僧海豹) around 1952.
