共用题干第三篇Be Alert to Antimicrobial(抗微生物的)ResistanceThe ability of micro-organisms to find ways to avoid the action of the drugs used to cure the infectionsthey cause is increasingly recognized as a global public health issue.Some bacteria have developed mecha-nisms which make them resistant to many of the antibiotics(抗生素)normally used for their treatment. They are known as multi一drug resistant bacteria,posing particular difficulties,as there may be few or no alternative options for therapy.They constitute a growing and global public health problem. WHO suggests that countries should be prepared to implement hospital infection control measures to limit the spread of multi-drug resistant strains(菌株)and to reinforce national policy on prudent use of antibiotics , reducing the generation of antibiotic resistant bacteria.An article published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases on 1 1 August 2010 identified a new gene that enables some types of bacteria to be highly resistant to almost all antibiotics.The article has drawn attention to the issue of antimicrobial resistance,and,in particular,has raised awareness of infections caused by multi- drug resistant bacteria.While multi-drug resistant bacteria are not new and will continue to appear,this development requires monitoring and further study to understand the extent and modes of transmission,and to define the most effec-tive measures for control.Those called upon to be alert to the problem of antimicrobial resistance and take appropriate action in- clude consumers , managers of hospitals , patients , as well as national governments , the pharmaceutical(制药 的)industry,and international agencies.WHO strongly recommends that governments focus control and prevention efforts in the following areas like surveillance for antimicrobial resistance;rational antibiotic use,including education of healthcare workers and the public in the appropriate use of antibiotics;introducing or enforcing legislation related to stopping the selling of antibiotics without prescription;and strict adherence to infection prevention and control measures, including the use of hand-washing measures,particularly in healthcare facilities.Successful control of multidrug-resistant micro-organisms has been documented in many countries,and the existing and well-known infection prevention and control measures can effectively reduce transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms if systematically implemented.WHO will continue to support countries to develop relevant policies,and to coordinate international efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance.Antimicrobial resistance will be the theme of WHO's World Health Day 2011.Antimicrobial resistance has become a global public health issue because_________.A:new antibiotics are too expensive for poor countriesB:infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria have killed a lot of peopleC:scientists know nothing about multi-drug resistant bacteriaD:there may be few or no treatment to infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria

问答题Practice 8  The United States has long been known as a “melting pot”, because many of its people are descended from settlers who came from all over the world to make their homes in the new land. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Attracted by reports of great economic opportunities and religious and political freedom, immigrants from many other countries flocked to the United States in increasing numbers, reaching a peak in the years 1880—1914. Between 1820 and 1980 the United States admitted almost 50 million immigrants.  Some 1,360,000 American Indians, descendants of North America's first inhabitants, now reside in the United States. Most live in the West, but many are in the south and north central areas. Of the more than 300 separate tribes, the largest is the Navaho in the Southwest.  Black people were first brought to America from Africa as slaves. Their descendants now make up nearly 12 percent of the population. They once lived mainly in the agricultural South but now are scattered throughout the nation.

单选题请阅读Passage 2,完成第 26~30小题。Passage 2In spite of endless talk of difference, American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of deference characteristic of popular culture. People are absorbed into a culture of consumption launched by the 19th-century department stores that offered vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite these were storesanyone could enter, regardless of class or background. Tlus turned shopping into a public and democratic act. The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today's immigration is neither at unprecedented levels nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent. In the10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every l, 000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every l, 000. Now, consider three indices of assimilation-language, home ownership and intermarriage.The 1990 Census revealed that a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries oforigin spoke English 'well' or 'very well' after ten years of residence. The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English.By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families. Hence the description of America as agraveyard for languages. By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a home ownership rate of 75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans.Foreign-born Asians and Hispanicshave higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S.-born whites and blacks. By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yetsome Americans fear that immigrants living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation's assimilative power.Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? Indeed. It is big enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America's turbulent past, today's social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social enviromuent.The text suggests that immigrants now in the U.S. ____.Aare resistant to homogenizationBexert a great infiuence on American cultureCare hardly a threat to the common cultureDconstitute the majority of the population
