In 1957 a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of influenzalike cases. Influenza is sometimes called “flu”or a “bad cold”. He took samples from the throats of patients in his hospital and was able to find the virus(病毒)of this influenza.

There are three main types of influenza virus. The most important of these are types A and B, each of them having several sub-groups(亚群). At the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was because of a virus group A, but he did not know the sub-group. He reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. W. H. O. published the important news together with reports of the same kind of outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15%~20% of the population had become ill.

As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, they began to test them. They found that they could reproduce themselves at a very high speed. Continuing their careful tests, the doctor checked the effect of medicine used against all the known sub-groups of type A virus. On this virus, none of them was of any use.

Having separated the virus, the two doctors now made tests on some selected seleceted animals. In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments showed that the new virus spread easily, but that it was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, called it simply “Asian flu”.

72. The Asian flu mentioned in the passage ____.     

A. had something to do with a virus group B

B. was reported to W. H. O in Geneva by a doctor in Hong Kong

C. broke out not only in Singapore but also in Hong Kong

D. was taken from the throats of the patients in a hospital in Singapore

73. London doctors considered ____.

A. Asian flu as a bad cold

B. there were three main types of influenza

C. it was necessary to test the other groups of virus besides group A

D. the influenza called “Asian flu”a new one

74. The Singapore doctor helped the world by ____.   

A. making those with Asian flu well again   B. killing the virus that caused Asian flu

C. finding the sub-group of the virus       D. reporting the outbreak of Geneva

75. The Asian flu virus ____.      

A. was a killer   B. was very weak   C. could reproduce very quickly   D. died very fast

  The Cave Crawler mining robot

  Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’ s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W.Va., and Huntington, Utah.A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.

  One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University's Robotics Institute.It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart.It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines-some of the most dangerous work in the business.

  The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler.It's a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced.It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence of dangerous gases.Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic.If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused, it has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.

  The biggest obstacle, though, is cost.The original research project was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it's not clear where future funding will come from.Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past.Since 1990, fatalities have declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.

  Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry.The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don't eliminate the need for human workers.

(1)

The phrase “throw a fit” in the 3rd paragraph probably means ________.

[  ]

A.

get angry

B.

get shocked

C.

become excited

D.

become cheerful

(2)

The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because ________.

[  ]

A.

it can map abandoned mines

B.

it's a bit smaller than Groundhog

C.

it can see in the dark tunnel

D.

the robot has a real sense of logic

(3)

We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

[  ]

A.

the mine robots will have a very bright future

B.

robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry

C.

there will be no need for human workers in mines

D.

robots in mines have a long way to go

(4)

Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

[  ]

A.

High-profile mining accidents in America.

B.

Could robots replace humans in mines?

C.

The development of robot.

D.

Cave Crawler, the latest robot.
