A new U．S．government report says more than two million Americans fall ill each year with
drug—resistant bacterial infections(感染)，and 23，000 of them are dying as a result．The head of
the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[CDC]said that the number probably
will grow．Officials warn that steps must be taken now to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotic(
抗生素)drugs．
Without urgent action to stop that trend，warned Tom Frieden whose agency wrote the report，
the miracle drugs to fight them won’t be available in the future．
“If we are not careful，the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a
lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection．But if we act now，we can preserve these
medications while we continue to work on development of new medicines．”
The report names a drug—resistant abuse of gonorrhea(淋病)，which causes about one quarter
of a million hospitalizations in the United States annually．Of the number at least 1 4，000 result in
death．
Drug resistance develops through the overuse and inappropriate use of anti—bacterial agents．These can be：doctors prescribing(开药) them to patients who have viral infections that are not affected by medicine meant to fight bacteria；patients not taking all of their medicine as prescribed，
so the bacteria making them sick are only weakened，not killed；antibiotic use in healthy farm
animals to prevent illness and promote growth．Antibiotic remainders left in meat and animal
products can then lead to drug resistance in humans．
To limit the spread of resistant infections，experts recommend wider use of routine
immunizations(预防)，as well as hand—washing in hospitals and other health care facilities．Also，
the report urges hand—washing by food handlers．?
Michael Bell，deputy director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at CDC，said
Patients also can play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by asking health care providers a few simple questions．
68．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Drug Resistance Developing Quickly in the US
B．Drug—Resistant Bacterial Infections Growing in the US
C．Actions for Preserving Anti-Bacterial Medications in the US
D．Preventions of Drug-resistant Bacterial Infections in the US
69．According to Frieden，we must take measures without delay to preserve effectiveness of
antibiotics，or_____.
A．we will have to develop better medicines in place of antibiotics
B．there may be no effective anti-bacterial drugs for use in the future
C．we can’t find other medicines to cure serious illnesses in the future
D．more and more Americans will suffer from bacterial infections each year
70．Of those patients admitted to the hospital because of a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea
annually，deaths add up to_____.
A．at least 5.6％ B．about 25％ C．about 1.4％ D．at least 2.5％
71．One of the approaches through which drug resistance develops is that_____.
A．people eat the meat with Antibiotic remainder in animals
B．doctors prescribe less antibiotics than needed for patients
C．doctors prescribe much more antibiotic than needed for patients
D．patients don’t take their ant-bacterial agents that doctors prescribe
68. C 69. B 70. A

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入1个最恰当的单词。(Reuters) - A U.N. climate deal due to be agreed in Copenhagen at talks from December 7-18 may fall short of a legally binding(有约束力的) agreement. If Copenhagen fails to live up to hopes of a strong agreement to slow global warming, what are the reasons and who risks blame? The following are some of the candidates:
● Decline in economy distracted(分散) focus from climate change after the world agreed in Bali, Indonesia, in 2007 to work out a new U.N. agreement by December 2009. Rich nations have put billions of dollars into green growth as part of recovery packages but, when unemployment at home is high, find it hard to promise extra money for developing countries. The slowdown in industrial output means a brief fix -- greenhouse gas emissions(排放) are likely to fall by as much as 3 percent this year.
● Many delegates at U.N. talks have given up hope that the United States, the number two emitter after China, will agree legislation(立法, 法律) to limit carbon emissions before Copenhagen. The US is the only industrialized nation outside the Kyoto Protocol(京都协议书) for cutting greenhouse emissions until 2012. Many countries welcomed President Barack Obama's promises of doing more to fight climate change when he took office in January but hoped for swifter action.
● Developing nations accuse the rich of repeatedly failing to keep promises of more aid. Few developed countries live up to a target agreed by the U.N. General Assembly in 1970 to give 0.7 percent of their gross domestic product in development aid. Other plans, such as the Agenda 21 environmental development plan agreed in 1992, have fallen short.
● Most rich nations are promising cuts in greenhouse gas emissions well short of the 25-40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020, which are needed to avoid the worst of climate change. Overall cuts promised by developed nations total between 11 and 15 percent. Best offers by countries including Japan, the European Union, Australia and Norway would reach the range.
● More than 90 percent of the growth in emissions between now and 2030 is set to come from developing nations -- with almost 50 percent from China alone, U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said this week. "No country holds the fate of the earth more in its hands than China. Not one," he said. China and India say they are slowing the growth of emissions but raising living standards is more important. So burning more energy is unavoidable -- as industrialized nations have done for 200 years.
● 2008 was the 10th warmest year since records began in the mid-19th century. The warmest was 1998, when a strong El Nino event in the eastern Pacific disrupted(使混乱) weather worldwide. That has led some to argue that global warming is slowing even though the U.N.'s WMO(世界气象组织) says a long-term warming trend is unchanged.
● People have been slow in changing lifestyles to use less carbon. Simple choices like taking more public transport, using less heating or air conditioning, even changing light bulbs can help if millions of people act.

People in China, as in other parts of the world, are waiting to see how U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will deal with global problems such as the current economic slowdown once he takes office. As Sam Beattie reports from Beijing, there is widespread hope for closer U.S.-Chinese cooperation.
For many students in Beijing, Mr. Obama symbolizes all that is possible in the United States. He’s a popular winner here, seen as a self-made man who has made it to the top.
"I think he is very charming, and a president who can create a new era," said Zhang Wei, a university student. "I like him very much and most of my friends do too." Ni Weibo, another university student, agrees. "Sino-U.S. relations still need more cooperation," she said. "I think he will help take it to a new era."
China’s President Hu Jintao congratulated Mr. Obama within hours of his victory, saying he hoped bilateral ties could be made stronger.
Political analysts here say China will be looking for the incoming president to avoid contentious issues such as Taiwan’s independence, human rights and Tibet.
Instead, they say Beijing would like Mr. Obama to focus on solving the global economic crisis, and to help China’s slowing economy by opening up U.S. markets.
But trade relations might be a sticking point, says Renmin University’s Professor of International Studies, Shi Yinhong.
He warns, "There is a possibility that President Obama will take some protectionist measures which China will not accept, then trade disputes could develop to a degree that we have not seen ever before."
Despite making the headlines, Mr. Obama faces some tough challenges in managing the U.S. relationship with China. China is now a stronger and more confident country than the China his
predecessors dealt with. And in this time of economic uncertainty, analysts say it’s a country with which Mr. Obama will want to maintain a good relationship.
【小题1】What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?
| A．Mr. Obama was popular with many students in Beijing mostly because he will take office soon. |
| B．Economic slowdown is the big problem that the world is facing and looking forward to solve except US |
| C．China’s President Hu Jintao congratulated Obama on his victory within hours. |
| D．Through Obama’s being elected, we can see all is possible in US and a new relationship may come. |
| A．What Barack Obama is expected to do in dealing with the US-China relationship. |
| B．Why Barack Obama will maintain a good relationship with China. |
| C．How Barack Obama will deal with the current economic slowdown. |
| D．What image Barack Obama has given to Chinese people. |
| A．a twist point | B．a disputed point | C．a good beginning | D．a understanding point |
| A．US-Chinese Cooperation Under the Current Economic Slowdown |
| B．Obama, Seen As A Popular Winner In China |
| C．Chinese Want Stronger Ties With US Under Obama Administration |
| D．The Current Economic Problem faces China As Well As US |
