22、 1957 a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of influenzalike cases. Influenza is sometimes called “flu“ or a “bad cold“. He took samples from the throats of patients and in his hospital was able to find the virus of this influenza.There are three main types of
23、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 didnt know the sub-group. He reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization
24、in Geneva. WHO 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 the standard tests. They found that by reproducing itself at very hig
25、h 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. None of them gave any protection. This then, was something new; a new influenza virus against wh
26、ich the people of the world had no ready help whatsoever.Having isolated the virus they were working with, the doctors now conducted tests on some specially selected animals, which contracted influenza in the same way as human beings did. In a short time the usual sign of the disease disappeared. Th
27、eses experiments revealed that the new virus spread easily, but that it was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, called it simply “Asian“ flu.45 The influenza discovered by a doctor in Singapore is caused by _.（A）a new type of virus（B） type A virus（C） a sub-group of type B virus（D）a vi
28、rus only existing in Asia 46 Who reported the influenza because _.（A）the doctor belonged to that organization（B） many people in Hong Kong also suffered from it（C） the doctor found its virus and sent the samples to WHO（D）it spread widely in Singapore for the first time 47 Which of the following is tr

The earth is poisoned. Water is unsafe to drink and garbage is burying the civilization that pr
32、oduced it.Our environment is being polluted faster than nature mans efforts can prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry. More people and more industry will bring us more motor-cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man made materials. This is hap
33、pening not only in the advanced societies but among the developing nations as they become industrialized.Now many scientists are worrying about the possibility of world pollution. Some experts declare that the balance of nature is being so upset that the very survival of human beings is in danger.Wh
34、at can solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by manby his greed and his modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization“ our chief aim. For its sake we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There
35、 is constant flow of people from the countryside into cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, so has pollution become a serious problem.Isnt it time that we stopped to ask where we are going and why? It reminds us o
36、f the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker: “Ive some good news and some bad news. The good news is that were making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour.

41、y years（D）we should not make increasing industrialization our chief aim 54 Millions of people pass through the gates of Disneys entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost an universal attention? What makes foreign kings and queens and other impo
42、rtant people want to visit these Disney parks? One reason is the way they are treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests“, as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves. All new employees, from vice-presidents to part-time worker
43、s, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking the general training. Here, they learn about the companys history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how important their parts are in making
44、the park a success.After passing the general training, the employees go on to more specialized training for their specific jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a si
45、mple and ordinary job, he replied, “what happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campground? We need to know the answer or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.“Even Disney managers
46、get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hotdogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment p
47、ark come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the companys goals more clearly.All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one long-time business o
48、bserver once said, “how Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason fir his fifty years of success I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis successfully.
