Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge structure on a persons fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.Finger-prints can be made very easily with printers ink. They can by recorded easily. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “develop” them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.Notes: unique adj. 唯一的，独特的 original adj. 最初的，原始的 identification n. 辩认，鉴定Choose the best answers according to the above:( ) 1.

The virus appeared again in late 2020 and is known to have infected 130 people in several parts of Asia, killing 68 of them.“It is not decided yet when the human trials will begin. We just got approval on November 22 by the State Food and Drug Administration,” Yin said.Oregon, Nov. 26, 2020（AP） The deadly strain of bird flu that appeared in Asia and has already spread to other parts of the world has not affected the Oregon poultry industry or consumers, according to Oregon State University researchers.There are many strains of bird flu that do not usually infect humans. But one strain, called H5N1, has jumped from chickens to humans and is blamed for more than 60 deaths in Asia.International disease control experts are worried about a worldwide outbreak of bird flu, raising concerns such as whether it is safe to eat poultry.But Oregon State University researchers say there is no proof that the virus can jump to humans by eating cooked poultry products.“Consumers neednt be overly concerned about bird flu,” said Jim Hermes, OSU Extension Service poultry specialist. But he urged consumers to follow standard food safety practices in preparing poultry including washing hands while preparing food, and proper cooking of poultry meat and eggs.He noted that a 2020 outbreak of bird virus caused much damage to commercial poultry operations in California but did not get into Oregon because of industry safeguards.Notes: vaccine n. 疫苗 optimistic adj. 乐观的 poultry n. 家禽Choose the best answers according to the above:( ) 1.

Hustles approach to a simple good-against-evil plot is extremely cheerful.Humor bordering on slapstick combined with exciting choreography by Yuen Wo Ping, who masterminded the fight scenes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Matrix, make Kung Fu Hustle a lively, visual treat.There is plenty of violence, but its largely cartoonish. Stephen Chow wrote, directed, produced and stars in this non-stop action movie, which is in Cantonese with English subtitles.Chow plays Sing, an eager young man who longs to be a member of the powerful and cruel Axe Gang. When gang members appear on the scene, sometimes dancing with their frightening axes in hand, the sky breaks out with fireworks. The sets are shocking, with classic cars lining the neon-lighted streets and gambling casinos serving as the backdrop to the underworld activities. All these give off the sensation of Old West shootouts.One neighborhood is blessedly away from the disorder. Pig Sty Alley is so poverty-stricken it holds no interest for the Axe Gang. Then in wanders the unlucky Sing, who attempts to get money there. But folks are not what they seem: The town is full of kung fu masters.Sing tries to single out someone he can fight, but it seems as if everyone, elderly and very young alike, has a body like Charles Atlas. During the time, Sing calls upon the Axe Gang, which faces off against the people of Pig Sty Alley, led by the town s landlords, the powerful lady in curlers and her husband. Fans of kung fu movies will have a rip-roaring time, but even moviegoers are sure to enjoy spirited action of Kung Fu Hustle.Notes: top-grossing adj. 票房收入最高的 choreography n. 舞蹈术 mastermind vt. 策划 subtitle n. 说明对白的字幕 gambling casino 赌博场Choose the best answers according to the above:( ) 1.
