A wom
21、an stood in her kitchen, spraying the empty space in front of her as though using Mace against an imaginary assailant. She appeared very determined. Where others are satisfied with antibacterial-laced sponges, dish soaps, hand sanitizers and telephone wipes, here was a woman who sought to sterilize
22、the air itself. As a casual student of microbiology, I find it hard to escape the absurdity here. This woman is, like any human being, home to hundreds of trillions of bacteria. Bacteria make up a solid third, by weight, of the contents of her intestines. If you were to sneak into her bathroom while
23、 she was showering-and based on my general impression of this woman from the advertisement, I dont recommend this-and secret away a teaspoon of the water at her feet, you would find some 820 billion bacteria. Bacteria are unavoidably, inevitably-and, usually, utterly benignly-a part of our world. Th
24、e fantasy of a germ-free home is not only absurd, but it is also largely pointless. Unless you share your home with someone very old, very young (under 6 months) or very ill, the few hundred bacteria on a countertop, doorknob or spoon pose no threat. The bacteria that cause food poisoning, the only
25、significant rational bacterial worry in the average home, need to multiply into the thousands or millions before they can overwhelm your immune system and cause symptoms. The only way common food poisoning bacteria can manage this is to spend four or five hours reproducing at room temperature in som
26、ething moist that you then eat. If you are worried about food poisoning, the best defense is the refrigerator. If you dont make a habit of eating perishable food that has been left out too long, dont worry about bacteria. Viruses are slightly different. You need only pick up a few virus particles to
27、 infect yourself with a cold or flu, and virus particles can survive on surfaces for days. So disinfecting the surfaces in the home should, in theory, reduce the chances of picking up a bug. In practice, the issue is less clear. A study by Dr. Elaine Larson at the Columbia School of Nursing called i
28、nto question the usefulness of antibacterial products for the home. In New York, 224 households, each with at least one preschooler, were randomly assigned to two groups. One group used antibacterial cleaning, laundry and hand-washing products. The other used ordinary products. For 48 weeks, the gro
29、ups were monitored for seven symptoms of colds, flu and food poisoning-and found to he essentially the same. According to Dr. Gerbas research, an active adult touches an average of 300 surfaces every 30 minutes. You cannot win at this. You will become obsessive-compulsive. Just wash your hands with
30、soap and water a few times a day, and leave it at that. 45 What is the main idea of this passage? （ A） We dont need to worry too much about bacteria everywhere in our life. （ B） Antibacterial products for the home are found to be effective. （ C） The TV advertisement the writer mentioned is a total f
31、ailure. （ D） The existent bacteria pose a threat only to the very young and very old. 46 We can infer from Paragraph 3 that _. （ A） healthy people should live separately from unhealthy members of the family （ B） a germ-free home is not only possible, but significant （ C） unless you live with the vul
32、nerable, it is pointless to sterilize the air （ D） our immune systems are too weak to fight against the food poisoning bacteria 47 According to the author, if you want to keep healthy, you had better _. （ A） make the room dry （ B） keep the food in the refrigerator （ C） wash your hands as much as pos
33、sible （ D） clean the surfaces with anti-bacterial products 48 From Paragraph 5 the author emphasizes _. （ A） the danger of viruses （ B） the common existence of virus particles （ C） the short life span of viruses （ D） the difficulty in killing viruses 49 According to the author, one will become obses
34、sive-compulsive _. （ A） if he washes his hands every time he touches a surface （ B） if he only washes his hands with soap and water （ C） if he could not win over the bacteria in his home （ D） if he does not fight against the bacteria at home 49 Canadian authorities relayed that suspicion to the U. S
35、. Coast Guard, which dispatched a cutter to intercept the vessel. After a two-week chase, the cutters crew finally boarded the Cao Yu 6025, a stateless ship, south of Japan. In the hold, they found damning evidence: 110 tons of tuna and shark fins, and a drift gillnet almost 20 kilometers long-an in
36、discriminate killer of marine life banned on high seas under an international agreement. Out of sight, and mostly out of mind, the oceans are under siege. Scientists from around the world are reporting global disturbances in the seas that threaten to bring Richard Cashins grim warning home to every
37、Canadian household. From the polar seas to the tropics, fish populations have collapsed or teeter on the brink. In a third of the Pacific, plankton that form the foundation of the marine food chain are vanishing. In every corner of the planet, increasing temperatures are obliterating some species, w
38、hile driving others into unfamiliar waters. As science scrambles to make sense of uneven data, evidence points to an alarming conclusion, the sea, the cradle of life, is dying. The killers are numerous. The most obvious, global over fishing, harvests 70 per cent of the worlds species faster than the
39、y can reproduce themselves. But the scientific community is not even sure that is the worst menace to the seas. Other major threats: human pollution, including an estimated 700 million gallons of toxic chemicals dumped into the sea each year, and global warming, widely attributed to industrial produ
40、ction of so-called greenhouse gases, which appears to be affecting ocean temperatures. Sharply pricier seafood is only the mildest consequence; others are far more serious. In many parts of the world, fishing jobs have disappeared. On Canadas East Coast, 26,000 unemployed former fish workers drew in
41、come from the federal governments Atlantic Ground fish Strategy-15,000 from Newfoundland alone-until its $1.9 billion in funding ran out in August. Far worse, developing countries dependent on marine protein confront the risk of mass starvation. In many regions, rival national claims to the seas dim
42、inishing harvest hold potential for armed conflict. More terrifying still is the specter of ecological Armageddon, as the oceans lose the capacity to generate the oxygen on which life itself depends. For too many species, extinction has already come. Half a century ago, 600,000 barn door skate swam
43、North Americas Atlantic seaboard. Never intentionally fished, they nonetheless frequently became ensnared in nets or on hooks. By the 1970s, scientists could find no more than 500 skate throughout its previous range. Now, they cant find any. “If bald eagles were as common as robins and then disappea
44、red, someone would notice,“ says biologist Ransom Myers of Hallifaxs Dalhousie University. “In the ocean, no one knows. No one cares. “ Belatedly, a handful of governments and others have begun to notice, to care and to act, moving tentatively to rein in the worst abuses of the seas. The patrol that
45、 spotted the Cao Yu was one of six that Canada donates each year to enforce an international ban on drift nets, blamed for killing dolphins, sharks, turtles, and seabirds, in addition to their intended catch. On September 1, the federal government designated two protected marine habitats at Race Roc
46、ks and Gabriola Passage, British Columbia-the first in a promised chain of preserves in Canadian waters where fishing will be banned. On the same day, an international commission concluded three years of study by urging coastal nations to bury their differences and form a world authority to regulate
47、 fishing beyond the 200-mile (370-killometer) economic zones of individual states. 50 The use of the drift gillnet is banned on high seas because they are sea lifes _ killer. 51 _ are regarded as the foundation of the marine food chain. 52 Loss of jobs and _ in developing countries dependent on fish
48、ing are among the possible consequences. 53 Limited harvests may lead to _ conflict among nations. 54 A world authority should be established to regulate fishing beyond _ of individual states. 54 An important part of police strategy, rapid police response is seen by police officers and the public al
49、ike as offering tremendous benefits. The more obvious ones are the ability of police to apply first-aid lifesaving techniques quickly and the greater likelihood of arresting people who may have participated in a crime. It aids in identifying those who witnessed an emergency or crime, as well as in collecting evidence. The overall reputation of a police department, too, is enhanced if rapid response is consistent, and this in i
