30、 1603年修建的建筑。沿着这些运河徜徉漫步，人们不禁会浮想：17 世纪的阿姆斯特丹该是何等的繁华!当年伦勃朗在这里为富商巨贾作画，他眼中的阿姆斯特丹想必是马车熙攘，驳船如织，一派繁忙景象，而今天的阿姆斯特丹则是自行车和汽车的天下，河道水运已不复往昔。 当然，产生这种联想对比自有缘由。今年恰逢伦勃朗 400周年诞辰纪念，阿姆斯特丹到处都有伦勃朗的“身影”。作为伦勃朗的出生地、位于阿姆斯特丹以南 20英里的莱顿也举办了各种纪念活动。不过，阿姆斯特丹的纪念活动有两大优势：一是这里关于伦勃朗的收藏品是世界上最多的，二是阿姆斯特丹本身就是旅游胜地。 诚然，周年纪念活动难免落入俗套，但又有哪个城市能抵制
31、住诱惑呢?今年除了阿姆斯特丹的伦勃朗周年纪念活动，还有萨尔斯堡的莫扎特 250周年纪念活动以及艾克斯普罗旺斯的塞尚逝世百年祭活动。在中央车站附近的阿姆斯特丹旅游办公室里有一个贴士，曰：“可在此购买伦勃朗纪念品，”可以说为此类纪念活动一语道破天机。 不过，如果你同我一样是伦勃朗的拥趸者，那么，此时到访阿姆斯特丹还是很有意义的/也肯定不虚此行。比如，以前只要到阿姆斯特丹，我都会专程去国立博物馆欣赏伦勃朗的杰作，然而，我之前从没有想过要去参观伦勃朗故居。伦勃朗从 1658年起开始在这里居住，一直到 1658年因破产而不得不搬离此地。总之，此前我从没有将伦勃朗的艺术创作与其个人生活联系在一起。 伦勃朗
32、出生于 1606年 7月 15日，阿姆斯特丹为他举办的一系列诞辰纪念活动向人们展示了伦勃朗的个人世界，我也得以开始尝试了解这位艺术巨匠的私人生活。伦勃朗从 25岁开始直到他 63岁(1669 年)去世一直生活在阿姆斯特丹。纪念活动不仅展示了早已为人所知的伦勃朗的个人生活，而且还突出展示了伦勃朗画作中相关人物的背景以及他生活过的这座城市的旧有风貌。 国立博物馆现正进行大修，要到 2009年才能完工，不过伦勃朗作为该博物馆的宠儿并未受到冷落。该博物馆分段进行翻修，按计划暂不翻修的区域全年都将展示 17世纪伦勃朗发迹的那个黄金时代的约 400幅画作和其他代表作品，其中包括扬斯滕、韦梅尔、弗朗斯哈尔斯
33、以及伦勃朗的名作，还有伦勃朗学生的一些画作。镇馆之宝当属伦勃朗的巨幅名作、油画夜巡。现居阿姆斯特丹的英国电影导演彼得格林纳威的电影夜巡就是围绕伦勃朗的这幅名作而展开的。三、Part B Choice of Two(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Topic 1(总题数：1，分数：30.00)2.The arsenal of antibiotics strong enough to squelch nasty bacteria is rapidly dwindling worldwide, which makes worried infectious-disease doctors more i

42、心忡忡，要求对使用抗生素严加控制的呼声也空前高涨。 传染性疾病专科医生很清楚，所有抗生素都有副作用，一种抗生素使用越频繁、越广泛，有害病菌对其产生抗药性的概率就越大。荷兰对抗生素使用管理更为严格，病菌抗药性要比美国低得多。现在，荷兰的一组研究人员认为医疗工作者对滥用抗生素的反思还不够深刻。 阿姆斯特丹学术研究中心的简普林斯说：“作为医生，我们一直都非常重视选择抗生素时要对症下药，但是却忽视了抗生素的合理治疗疗程。” 普林斯医生和来自 9家医院的同行共同开展了小规模研究，研究结果发表在 6月 10日这一期的英国医学杂志上。研究结果显示，即便是肺炎这种可致命性疾病，对有些患者而言，经过 3天的抗生
43、素治疗就可痊愈，并不需要按照惯例疗程进行 7至 10天的治疗，这一研究结果备受争议。 荷兰研究人员对 186名轻、中度肺炎患者的治愈率进行了研究分析。所有患者开始时都接受了 3天的阿莫西林静脉注射治疗。之后，对治疗效果明显改善的 119名患者随机分成两组，一组继续进行为期 5天的阿莫西林口服治疗，另一组则服用安慰剂。在研究结束前，患者和医生都不清楚哪一组是比照组。 在疗程结束时，两组中都有约 89%的患者获得治愈，不再需要进一步干预治疗。约翰保罗医生是英格兰布莱顿苏塞克斯郡医院的微生物学家。保罗医生在为这项研究撰写的评论中指出，研究结果“表明，至少对于一小部分无并发症的社区获得性肺炎患者而言，
44、现行的 7至 10天的抗生素治疗推荐疗程应予以修正。” 普林斯医生是该项研究的带头人，他认为现在谈修正推荐疗程为时尚早。他说，这项研究规模较小，作为研究对象的患者病情并不十分严重，在其他独立研究得出类似结论之前，不应急于修正临床抗生素应用推荐疗程。五、Topic 2(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Section Chinese-En(总题数：2，分数：40.00)3.四川从今年开始将新建三个大熊猫自然保护区，使全省的大熊猫自然保护区达到 40个，以确保 50%左右的大熊猫栖息地和 60%左右的野生大熊猫个体分布在保护区内。 目前，四川省共有 37个大熊猫自然保护区，占地 200多万公顷，其中
