Since weeks ago, China has been involved in a worldwide A/H1N1 flu that has already killed more than 80 people in the middle of May, 2009, in Mexico and has turned into a global pandemic. The central government has asked people entering China from the virus-hit countries to report flu-like symptoms(症状)to the authorities.In an emergency notice issued on Saturday night, the country’s top quality watchdog ordered the Customs to check passengers’ temperature, too. A Beijing airport official Li said Customs officers are on a high alert(警戒)level. “Three temperature detectors are now in operation.We’re ready with protection garments and equipment, too.Passengers flying in from Mexico and other A/H1N1 flu-hit countries are being monitored closely,” he said. The Ministry of Health, however, said yesterday there was no evidence to suggest that a person would contract the disease by eating pork. Hong Kong, too, has raised its alert level against the flu to “serious”.Secretary for Food&Health, Mr.York Chow urged people to avoid visiting places from where A/H1N1 flu cases have been reported, and said the virus would be added to Hong Kong’s list of the diseases which have been noticed. The terrible A/ H1N1 flu has been contracted by about 4000 people in Mexico, and most of the killed were aged between 25 and 45. The virus has also infected about 5,000 people in the US.The US Center for Disease Control said this kind of virus is spreading from human to human, raising fears of a global pandemic. 53.What is the passage mainly about?

The question of whether war is inevitable is one which has concerned many of the world’s great writers. Before 36 this question, it will be useful to introduce some 37 concepts. Conflict, 38 as opposition among social units-or individuals-directed against one another, is 39 from competition, which 40 opposition among social units 41 seeking to obtain something which is 42 inadequate supply. Competitors may not know about one another, which those who 43 in a conflict do. Conflict and competition are both 44 of opposition. The meaning of opposition has been stated as a process by which social unit function in the disservice of one another, opposition is 45 contrasted to cooperation, a 46 by which social units function in the service of one another. These 47 are necessary because it is important to emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited 48 , but conflict isn’t . Conflict, nevertheless, is very likely to occur and is probably an essential and desirable 49 of human societies. Many authors have 50 their arguments that war cannot be avoided on the idea that in the struggle for existence among groups of animals, only those which are best 51 remain alive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Those who fail in this competition 52 starve to death or are 53 by other types of animals. This struggle for 54 is not similar to human war, but is like the competition of 55 for jobs, markets, and materials. The most important quality of this struggle is the competition for the necessities of life that are not enough to satisfy all. 36.A.considering B.solving C.answering D.saying 37.A.related B.used C.translated D.sacred 38.A.specified B.remarked C.defined D.claimed 39.A.variable B.distinguished C.various D.isolated 40.A.acknowledged B.denies C.assumes D.means 41.A.critically B.approximately C.independently D.costly 42.A.on B.for C.with D.in 43.A.enter B.participate C.fall D.involve 44.A.formations B.classes C.terms D.reactions 45.A.nevertheless B.however C.thus D.maybe 46.A.procession B.standard C.process D.measurement 47.A.accounts B.definitions C.descriptions D.explanations 48.A.resources B.origins C.sources D.materials 49.A.matter B.element C.event D.coincidence 50.A.concentrated B.fixed C.centered D.based 51.A.encouraged B.accepted C.adapted D.adopted 52.A.not only B.either C.neither D.both 53.A.killed B.raised C.fired D.surrounded 54.A.resistence B.privilege C.favour D.employment 55.A.workers B.officials C.individuals D.residents |
