The Guinness Book of Records says that mosquitoes have caused over 50 per cent of all human deaths since the Stone Age , excluding deaths from war and accidents ! Mosquitoes are found all over the world . Female mosquitoes usually feed on the blood of humans and animals . Mosquitoes often carry dangerous disease called malaria（疟疾）, which usually occurs during hot , rainy season . If a mosquito feed on the blood of a person with malaria , it becomes a carrier of the disease . It injects the disease into the next person it bites . So , for example , a tourist could be infected with malaria during a visit to Indonesia . The same tourist might then visit Thailand where another mosquito may bite him . This mosquito could then bite another person and spread the disease . People have used insecticides to kill mosquitoes and their eggs for a long time , but many insects are now resistant to these chemicals . This resistance is a big problem for doctors because it can stop the prevention and treatment of malaria . Also , several of the drugs which doctors use to prevent malaria do not work any more because mosquitoes are resistant to them . Experts now believe that the world will never be free of malaria , so they tell people to protect themselves from the disease . If you think that you have malaria , see a doctor immediately . Without treatment , malaria kills over 25 per cent of its victims in a maximum of two weeks . After treatment , mosquitoes that bite you will not pass malaria on to other people . Although doctors can treat malaria victims , you must remember ;prevention is better than cure .56According to the Guinness Book of Records , which of the following causes most deaths ? AWar . BAccident . CMalaria . DMosquitoes .57Which of the following is the correct order for the spreading of malaria ? aA mosquito bites the person with malaria . bThe same mosquito bites another person . cA person is infected with malaria . dThat person may be likely to be infected , too . Aabcd Bacdb Ccabd Dcadb58We could draw the conclusion that the best way of fighting against the spread of malaria is Aprevention Btreatment Cseeing a doctor immediately Dblood test 59Which of the following statements is true according to the passage ? AWe will surely get rid of mosquitoes in the near future . BIts believed that malaria will accompany human beings forever . CInsecticides are always effective in killing mosquitoes . DA mosquito can not pass the disease on to another person after it bites one with malaria .60. Why cant many mosquitoes be killed insecticides? Because they are .A. DangerousB. largeC. resistentD. sensitiveCDisasters rose from US$ 4billion per year in the 1950s to US $ 40 billion in 1999. One report released last month in Shanghai predicts global temperatures could rise by as much as 5.8 degrees centigrade over the next century . The increase is due to industrial pollution and the report by 700 scientists estimates （估计）that economic losses from so-called natural waste gas from cars . Scientists have warned of global warming for years . “The effects are expected to be greatest in developing countries in terms of loss of life and impact （冲击）on investment and the economy,” said the report issued Monday . Changing rainfall patterns coupled with population growth will lead to huge pressure on water supplies , it predicts , and that at present 1.7 billion people live in areas where water resources are tight , which will likely increase to 5.4 billion in the next 25 years . “ Climate change will be accompanied by an increase in heat-waves, with increased humidity（湿度）and urban(市区)air pollution causing more heat-related deaths and illnesses ,” it says . Even more serious will be flooding as a result of rising sea levels in densely populated coastal areas ,such as India, Fillipeaons and so on. “The most widespread direct risk to human settlements is flooding and landslide,” it says . “Coastal settlements are particularly at risk but urban flooding will be a problem where storm drains , water supply and waste management systems are not well developed.”61Climate change will cause the following except AHeatwaves Bblack hole Cflood Dlandslide 62From the report issued Monday we may conclude that among the following four countries , the one that will be affected most greatly is . AJapan BAmerica CBritain DIndia 63The main idea of the passage is .

BPopulation growth .CLoss of life . DInvestment .65. Disasters from 1950 to 19999.A. increaseB. descrease C. fallD. didnt increaswDWhile the threat of a reappearance of SARS is still there , it is reassuring to learn about the latest developments in vaccine（疫苗） research . More than 1,400 vaccine shots for SARS have been produced in China , and an application for clinical（临床） tests has been referred to the State Food and Drug Administration(SFDA), according to a Xinhua report on Sunday . “If everything goes smoothly , conducting of clinical experiments will be agreed before the end of December,” said Yin Hongzhang , head of the Biological Product Section of the SFDA. So far , China is far ahead of other countries in the search for a SARS vaccine , claimed Yin . At that time , volunteers will be sought in Beijing and Guangzhou to take part in experiments using the new vaccine .However , while cheering for the research breakthrough , voices of reason should also be heard . What medical workers should always maintain is a cool head and careful attitude , which are essential in any scientific research . This is especially true when conducting experiments on human beings , because they are directly concerned with the volunteers health and even their lives ,and also because knowledge of the deadly virus is still too limited . Media reports indicate that members of the public are reacting actively to the news of selecting volunteers and are expressing their readiness . Their courage is well worth our admiration . The trust they are placing in these medical researchers is the biggest support of their work . The researchers have no other choice but to be highly cautious in the expected experiments . The safety of volunteers should always be the first consideration .Scientists from different countries have been put in a race in uncovering the mystery surrounding the virus . But to play a leading role should by no means be the ultimate pursuit（最终目标）of the scientific workers . It is peoples safety and health that remain the biggest concerns . While there are still so many mysteries to be solved , it is too early to celebrate .(China Daily November 25 , 2003) 66According to the passage , which of the following is not true ? AThe developments in vaccine research in SARS are encouraging . BMore than 1,400 vaccine shots for SARS have been applied to clinical test . CChina is now leading in the search for a SARS vaccine .
