【題目】 Alexander Fleming was born in Scotland in 1881 and his parents were both farmers. He moved to London in 1895 and finished his basic education. Fleming entered the medical field in 1901, studying at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School. While at St. Mary’s, he won the 1908 gold medal as top medical student.

A position at St. Mary’s Hospital led him to the then-new field of bacteriology(細(xì)菌學(xué)). During World War I, Fleming served in the Royal Army Medical Corps. At the time, antiseptics(抗菌劑) were commonly used. Fleming discovered that their destructive effects on the body were greater than their ability to break down harmful bacteria. Therefore, more soldiers were dying from antiseptic treatment(治療) than from bacterial harm.

Fleming suggested that, for more effective treatment, wounds simply be kept dry and clean. However, his idea largely got ignored because of the difficult conditions. Returning to St. Mary’s after the war, in 1918, Fleming worked as the assistant director of St. Mary’s.

In September 1928, Fleming returned to his lab after a month away with his family, and was surprised to notice that a type of bacteria he had left out had become polluted by a mold(霉菌). The bacteria surrounding this mold had been destroyed. He realized that he discovered the world’s first bacteria killer. It was later named “penicillin”.

Further development of penicillin was not a one-man operation, so Fleming employed two young researchers. Penicillin finally came into use during World War II and Fleming won the Nobel Prize in 1945.

【1】What do we know about Fleming?

A.He began to study medicine at the age of 14.

B.He completed his basic education in Scotland.

C.He had excellent performance while in college.

D.He started his career due to his parents’ influence.

【2】What did Fleming find during World War I?

A.The British army suffered from a lack of antiseptics.

B.Few people wanted to study the field of bacteriology.

C.Soldiers had limited knowledge of treating their wounds.

D.Antiseptics did more harm than good to wounded soldiers.

【3】What does Paragraph 4 imply?

A.Fleming discovered penicillin quite by accident.

B.Penicillin was Fleming’s first well-known discovery.

C.Penicillin was later put into use by Fleming’s students.

D.Fleming made a mistake while preparing for an operation.

【4】How does the author organize the text?

A.By providing data.B.By giving examples.

C.By making comparisons.D.By following time order.

【題目】 Altitude training is a way of encouraging the body to produce more red blood cells, which can improve endurance (耐力 )when performing activities at lower altitudes. This kind of training normally involves living at a high altitude and training at a lower one, because the body needs oxygen to train. 【1】 Athletes from endurance sports typically benefit from this kind of training, but its effects will be felt by anyone who has a long stay at a high altitude.

For the purposes of altitude training, an altitude of about 2, 500 meters is desirable but any relatively high altitude will work. 【2】 So it is common to use a lower altitude.

【3】 this is accomplished by using the body’s natural response to needing more oxygen over a long period of time. There are people who question whether altitude training actually works by increasing the number of red blood cells. In theory, if one is competing at sea level, the increase in red blood cells will last for several days, after leaving the high altitude, giving one a competitive edge. 【4】

While altitude training is primarily used by athletes who need increased endurance, the desired effects of high altitudes will be experienced by anyone who travels to a high altitude for a long period of time.【5】 Children who normally live at high altitudes can become very active when brought to low altitudes due to similar effects.

A. Less oxygen makes them hard to breathe.

B. Red cells have been proved to be effective

C. It’s difficult to find altitudes this high that are still fit for training

D. It can be argued that any positive effects disappear too quickly to be useful

E. However, it is more common to actually travel to high altitudes in order to train

F. The purpose of altitude training is to increase the number of red blood cells in the body

G. Many people experience a great increase in energy when returning from high altitudes
