第5题

She developed paralysis（瘫痪), after giving birth to a large calf. That changed her status

She developed paralysis(瘫痪), after giving birth to a large calf. That changed her status from milk producer to "downer", the dairy industry's word for a cow unable to stand up. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that downers account for between 130,000 and 195,000—a large percentage—of the total cows slaughtered each year.

Her owner, the Sunny Dene Ranch dairy farm, sent her to Veru's Moses Lake Meats. She was given a routine test for nervous-system diseases, killed, then shipped to Midway Meats in Centralia. The test, taken on December 9th but not fully analyzed until December 22nd, froze America's $27-billion-a-year cattle industry, the world's largest producer of beef. This cow had tested positive for BSE(牛绵状脑病),a fatal sickness popularly known as mad cow disease. Humans can get a different kind of disease of BSE by consuming the brains or nervous-system tissue of infected cattle. Britain diagnosed its first case of BSE in 1986. It eventually spread to 180,000 cattle and was linked to the deaths of nearly 150 people.

The USDA at once quarantined(隔离) the Sunny Dene herd and made efforts to recall the meat. Two dozen countries equally swiftly slammed the door on American beef experts, which earn $3 billion a year. The Asian market, particularly Japan, which buys about a third of those exports, was especially quick to ban American meat. Cattlemen cursed their bad luck after a year of decent prices.

On December 27th the USDA suggested that the infected cow came from Canada. This does not let the American beef industry off the hook. But it suggests that the cause of the trouble lies outside the United States. It was not such good news for Canada. Last May one case of BSE in northern Canada led to a three-month ban on exports of Canadian beef and live cattle. When will the cattlemen get their market back.'？ The Americans hastily sent a team to Japan to try to calm Japanese fears and, more practically, to discuss the import of beef from animals less than 30 months old. Steve Kay, an expert on the cattle industry from Petaluma, California, points out that BSE has never been found in cattle younger than 30 months.

Much as officials once did in Britain, people from the USDA and the meat industry have rushed to assure Americans that their product is safe. Shares in McDonald's at first tanked, but recovered when the burger giant insisted it used strict safety standards. Yet America's meat industry still has to pay more attention to what it feeds its animals and how it kills them.

What cows constitutes high percentage in the total cows butchered each year？

A．Cows that have give birth to calves.

B．Cows that have produced milk.

C．Cows that are less than 30 months old.

D．Cows that cannot stand up.

听力原文：W: Oh, it is terrible! Abroad Aero lines Argentina's flight 386. 386 passengers w

ere given prepared food on their way (20)from Buenos Aires to Los Angeles.

M: Then what happened？

W:A few days after arriving in Los Angeles. (19)one passenger died, and 74 others were seriously ill.

M: What is the reason for that？

W: According to Dr. Phillips, it was the highest single outbreak of cholera in the United States this century, and the airline passengers were the victims of this new epidemic of cholera, a disease not seen in Latin America since 1895. they were just a few of the more than one million people affected in the 20th centuries, including at least 10,000 who died in the following three years after 1991.

M: (19)Cholera？ To the best of my understanding, that disease has been dead for some time now.

W: (19)But it has come back. Dr. Phillips says that cholera is by no means the only old infections on the comeback, and it is just one of the major infections that are fighting back fiercely against man's attempts to control them.

M: (19)But what are the reasons for the comeback of so many dead diseases？

W: Phillips says a single reason can't explain why a new disease appears or an old one returns, and usually a combination of factors are involved.

M: What kind of specific factors？

W: In his book Plagues on Our Doorstep Dr. Phillips presents some reasons.

M: What are they？

W: First, (21) international travel and commerce. The cholera abroad flight 386 and mosquitoes living in imported tries are examples of these. Second, (21) technology and industry. For example, the technology in Britain's processing industry was a likely contributor to the emergence of mad cow disease. Third, (21)the breakdown of public health measures. Declining health resources have resulted in the erosion of once highly-valued health service.

M: Well, that's just unbelievable!

(20)

A．An air crash to Los Angeles.

B．A book written by a doctor.

C．A disease on the comeback and its reasons

D．Man's effort to prevent disease.

第8题

I was 13 when Benji came into our lives. With his deep brown eyes, floppy cars and cheerfu

l disposition, he was my constant companion throughout my teenage years. We would play together in the garden, and take long walks over the hills behind the house and on the beach. Benji would hang on my every word with his head tilted to one side. Despite being a dog, he seemed to have a sympathy for my problems that went deeper than words could express. He was my best friend.

Benji left us about 15 years ago for that great kennel in the sky. But recently I've been thinking about him a lot. Was he really conscious？ Could any animal have consciousness like we do？ Does it matter whether animals are conscious or not？

For many, it is a matter of life and death. On the one hand, animal research has helped prevent some of the most pressing human diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, "mad cow" disease, malaria, cystic fibrosis and emphysema. On the other hand, this research is performed largely on chimps, our closest nonhuman relatives, with whom we share 98.4% of our genetic material, and great apes, with whom we are similarly biologically close.

Some people feel this connection is strong enough to warrant special treatment. An international group called the Great Ape Project is lobbying the United Nations to adopt a declaration on the rights of great apes modeled on the UN declaration On the Rights of Man. The group believes that apes are "conscious" and so deserve legal protection of their right to life and freedom from imprisonment and torture.

If great apes were shown to have consciousness or something like our own, I would consider it among the scientific discoveries of the century. I would then agree with the Australian philosopher and founder of the animal rights movement, Peter Singer, that performing medical experiments on chimps would be like experimenting on orphan children. That's a pretty chilling thought, and no amount of human suffering saved could justify such an action. But before we close down the laboratories and stop searching for a vaccine against AIDS, we had better take a long hard look at the evidence for ape consciousness.

Why does the author bring up the example of Benji？

A．To show that animals have consciousness.

B．To raise the question of animal consciousness.

C．Because Benji was his best friend.

D．To illustrate the differences between dogs and chimps.
