1. [单选题]From the text we learn that__________.
阅读材料,回答下面的题目。The Public Health System One of the biggest changes since 1990 is the degree to which bioterrorism has become a public health priority.Although there had long been concern about vulnerability to biowarfare and bioterrorism the anthrax episode in the fall of 2001 made it clear that the concern is no longer theoretical.Until very recently, the important role of public health at the frontlines of bioterrorism preparedness was unrecognized.Although concern about emerging infections has helped stimulate funding for the chronically under-appreciated public health system, the threat of bioterrorism motivated the first real infusion of new money into public health indecades.Many of the capabilities needed to defend against bioterrorism are the same: as those needed to combat natural emerging infections.In both instance, the problem is an unexpected outbreak of infectious disease, of which the first indication is likely to be sick people in emergency rooms or clinics.Indeed, as with the anthrax attacks, the public health and medical responses may be under way before the true nature of the outbreak is recognized. Public health and the interface with the health care system are therefore key elements in any effective response to bioterrorism.Whether the biggest threat is natural or engineered much remains to be done.Efforts to strengthen surveillance and response worldwide and to improve communication must be accelerated and sustained.Further,we have only scratched the surface in terms of understanding the ecology of infectious diseases and developing strategies for regulating microbial traffic.We need tools for better predictive epidemiologic modeling when a new infection first appears and for better analysis of the factors that transfer pathogens across species.One encouraging development is the program in the ecology of infections diseases that was started a few years ago be the National Science Foundation in cooperation with NIH.SARS is a good yardstick of our progress during the past 13 years.The syndrome was unusual because novel infections that spread from person to person are relatively rare.Once cases were finally reported, the public health response was vigorous.WHO warned health care providers, researchers rapidly identified a candidate virus, and prototype diagnostic tests quickly became available.The vast reach of the Internet was instrumental in sharing formation and coordinating activities worldwide.Despite these advances, SARS had already spread to many countries.In fact had the disease been as transmissible as influenza, it would have invaded virtually every country in the world by the time the public health response had begun.So what SARS tells us is that although we have come long way since 1990, we still have a long way to go.The main idea expressed in the first paragraph is that__________.
A. bioterrorism is an engineered threat to human beings
B. bioterrorism can be arrested by improving communication
C. natural infections and bioterrorism are the same in essence
D. the anthrax attacks are more threatening than the outbreak of SARS
2. [单选题]Basketball in American is so popular with universities thatnationwide university matches are held yearly.
回答下面的题目:American SportsThe United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in Americatake a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw hugecrowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games,played forrecreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Mostsports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the timeof year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectatorsgreatly exceeds the number playing in the game.Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is playedthroughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play wellinto the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the onemost nearly like it is the English game of cricket.Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The gameoriginated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played byalmost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiumsof some of the largest universities seat as many as 80, 000 people. The game isnot the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11players on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmetsbecause the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in othercountries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoorsthroughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very populargame with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high schoolmatches are held yearly.Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horseracing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy ofthe term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the racescan be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do"not assemble" primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon theoutcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old,in the US.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
3. [单选题]Which of the following statements is correct?
根据以下材料回答下面的题目:Benefited or HurtFor the most part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich country counterparts to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain. Orthodox economics takes an optimistic line on integration and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labor have already been used up. If pool countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes: rich foreigners wilt want to send over some of their capital.If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment, it will supplement domestic savings and loosen the financial constraint on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investmentought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labor and partly by making labor more productive. This why workers in FDI receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same static and dynamic gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gain from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets though trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these transactions, sides exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.According to the passage, who may be reasonably afraid of the globalization?
A. A rich country gets benefits through trade at the expense of its poor country trading partners
B. A poor country gets benefits through trade at the expense of its rich country trading partners
C. In trade one side or the other must lose because the benefits must come from somewhere.
D. In trade it is possible for every part involved winning at the expense of nobody
