Although genetic mutations in bacteria and viruses
can lead to epidemics, some epidemics are caused by
bacteria and viruses that have undergone no significant
genetic change. In analyzing the latter, scientists have
(5) discovered the importance of social and ecological fac-
tors to epidemics. Poliomyelitis, for example, emerged
as an epidemic in the United States in the twentieth
century; by then, modern sanitation was able to delay
exposure to polio until adolescence or adulthood, at
(10) which time polio infection produced paralysis. Previ-
ously, infection had occurred during infancy, when it
typically provided lifelong immunity without paralysis.
Thus, the hygiene that helped prevent typhoid epidemics
indirectly fostered a paralytic polio epidemic. Another
(15) example is Lyme disease, which is caused by bacteria
that are transmitted by deer ticks. It occurred only spo-
radically during the late nineteenth century but has
recently become prevalent in parts of the United States,
largely due to an increase in the deer population that
(20) occurred simultaneously with the growth of the suburbs
and increased outdoor recreational activities in the
deer’s habitat. Similarly, an outbreak of dengue hemor-
rhagic fever became an epidemic in Asia in the 1950’s
because of ecological changes that caused Aedes aegypti,
(25) the mosquito that transmits the dengue virus, to proliferate
The stage is now set in the United States for a
dengue epidemic because of the inadvertent introduction
and wide dissemination of another mosquito, Aedes
albopictus.
The passage suggests that a lack of modern sanitation would make which of the following most likely to occur?
A.An outbreak of Lyme disease
B.An outbreak of dengue hemorrhagic fever
C.An epidemic of typhoid
D.An epidemic of paralytic polio among infants
E.An epidemic of paralytic polio among adolescents and adults
What is the report about?
A.The weather tonight in the northern part of the country.
B.The weather yesterday in the whole country.
C.Tomorrow's weather in two parts of the country.
D.Tomorrow's weather in the southern part of the country.
Although doctors lack the data to know what exactly is behind the rise in skin cancers among young people, they suggest several factors: more time in the sun, improper use of sunscreens and a rise in tanning salon(阳光浴沙龙) visits. Skin doctors believe that young people are generally spending more time in the sun than their parents did and are either not using enough sunscreen or failing to apply it properly. They also claimed that many Americans, including the young, are spending more vacation hours in sunny climates than in previous decades.
In a study published in 1997 in the American Academy of Dermatology, a research team led by Dr June Robinson at Northwestern University Medical School found that during the decade ending in 1996, the number of Americans who reported at least one severe sunburn rose from 30 percent to 39 percent.
Doctors feel really worried that ______.
A.their patients will soon get older
B.adults are diagnosed with skin cancer
C.there is an outbreak of deadly aches on the skins
D.many younger people suffer from skin cancer
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The Life Cycle of Locusts.
B.Migratory Locusts in the United States.
C.Locust Plagues in Nebraska.
D.The Reproductive Capability of the Locust.
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Teenagers and young adults in the US are increasingly being diagnosed with skin cancer, according to doctors who warn that the development could lead to an outbreak of deadly aches on the skin as these patients get older. Doctors are especially disturbed by the numbers of younger people they are treating, which suggests that messages about avoiding the sun still aren't getting through and that the tanned skin (晒黑的皮肤) that was made popular by French designer Coco Chanel in the 1920s remains a sought- after look today.
