Part II Reading Comprehension (30 points, 45 minutes) p 7sYgz
Directions: In this part there are several passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked (A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. ($-o"y"x
Passage 1 }'3V(;9
Every year scientists open more doors that lead to the secrets of kZ2+=/DYN
new beneficent drugs. Yq.Omr!
There is bacitracin, which was discovered by two scientists at {3?g8e]zr
Columbia University''s College of Physicians and Surgeons. These two V9+7A
people, Dr. Frank Meleney and Miss Balbina Johnson, knowing that the tNtP+v-{
human body had some kind of action in itself with which it fights Z)HQlm
infections, began to search for the chemical that does this. In the xv
/w
%
hospital they examined badly infected wounds of people who had been -7lJ
hurt in accidents and made tests of the blood and the infected tissue. PR Y)hb;1
Finally, in the wound of a girl who had broken a leg bone, they `XTu$+
found the useful germs which seemed to be fighting the poisonous D[<8(~VP
infection. They took some of these into the laboratory and from them <yeG0`}t
developed cultures; that is, larger masses of the germs with which to YoXXelO&
experiment. At last, after long and painstaking work, they were able J,k{Bm
to draw from these germs a substance which is a germ destroyer. Dr. WL>"hkx
Meleney and Miss Johnson named it bacitracin-baci because the germ is, e-Eoe_k
in scientific language, a bacillus and tracin for Margaret Tracy, sLCL\dWT
whose broken leg supplied the germ. K'y;j~`-
Bacitracin at first was used only locally; later the drug was |d8/ZD
developed into a solution that can be used to fight germ through the *.20YruU;j
blood stream. =3sBWDB[

Passage 2 L]I)E`s
Our echo sounder located the wreck of a French submarine that had _0<qS{RW
foundered during the war in seventy-five feet of water outside Dakar y4^6I$M7V
harbor. Dumas and I plunged down and found the vessel lying clean and l
2y_Nz-;
upright, surrounded by such clouds of fish as we had rarely seen-small UB|f{7~&
silver fingerlings and dark metals. As Dumas swam into the shadow of c%n[
v3]
the port propeller, he came face to face with a gigantic fish, grouper !7]4sXL{
variety, cousin to our familiar Mediterranean meroblast-fish. This hlWTsi4N
specimen was ten times the size of our old acquaintances: he weighed aOFF"(]Cl
at least four hundred pounds. The wide, flat head and tiny eyes #p_3j 0S
advanced on Dumas; the ugly mouth yawned open, wide enough to admit GcmN4

him. Dumas knew that sedentary groupers have no teeth to speak of; it 6&5p3G{%0
seemed, however, that this individual might wish to swallow him X`YA JG
unmasticated in the fashion of the mero type which swims agape(大张着嘴), J39,x=8LL
taking in whole octopuses(章鱼). sN.h>bd
The cavernous mouth approached within two feet; Dumas sculled ]-FK6jw
backward, watchfully keeping a modest interval as the monster l6IpyIex
unhurriedly followed. The knowledge that the species was harmless gave YtI2Vr/9
Dumas little comfort as he gazed into the fish''s mouth; he and the dt%wa
M!
grouper exchanged mutual stares of revulsion for a seemingly @=B'<&g$Xv
interminable period while Dumas was steadily pressed back. Then the $)t ]
av
beast lost interest, turned aside, and returned to its dim home under {PZNJ 2~
the lost submarine. Dumas surfaced in a reflective mood: "Imagine &>y[5#qOl
being swallowed by a lousy grouper." i'aV=E5
