Passage 1 61'7b`:(hi
Every year scientists open more doors that lead to the secrets of r!#3>F;B
new beneficent drugs. gJ])A7O
There is bacitracin, which was discovered by two scientists at (GQy"IuFh
Columbia University''s College of Physicians and Surgeons. These two aqB^ %e
people, Dr. Frank Meleney and Miss Balbina Johnson, knowing that the Xk2
75Y
human body had some kind of action in itself with which it fights J.<m@\U
infections, began to search for the chemical that does this. In the MWl@smRh
hospital they examined badly infected wounds of people who had been J0#% *B
hurt in accidents and made tests of the blood and the infected tissue. zE[c$KPP
Finally, in the wound of a girl who had broken a leg bone, they :.dQY=6I
found the useful germs which seemed to be fighting the poisonous [D t`@Dm
infection. They took some of these into the laboratory and from them rLwc=(|
developed cultures; that is, larger masses of the germs with which to r#XDgZtI
experiment. At last, after long and painstaking work, they were able 8p
FSm>
to draw from these germs a substance which is a germ destroyer. Dr. 2d._X$fx7
Meleney and Miss Johnson named it bacitracin-baci because the germ is, |0&S>%=
in scientific language, a bacillus and tracin for Margaret Tracy, 8{ep`$(K@
whose broken leg supplied the germ. !
>:O3*/
Bacitracin at first was used only locally; later the drug was ,

developed into a solution that can be used to fight germ through the IQM!dC

Passage 2 QJv,@@mu
Our echo sounder located the wreck of a French submarine that had c*3ilMP\4
foundered during the war in seventy-five feet of water outside Dakar N%^mR>.`
harbor. Dumas and I plunged down and found the vessel lying clean and 1XSqgr"3
upright, surrounded by such clouds of fish as we had rarely seen-small \+5 L.Q
silver fingerlings and dark metals. As Dumas swam into the shadow of 2[WQq)\
the port propeller, he came face to face with a gigantic fish, grouper p,xM7V"O)
variety, cousin to our familiar Mediterranean meroblast-fish. This {xOu*8J
specimen was ten times the size of our old acquaintances: he weighed eqLETo@} *
at least four hundred pounds. The wide, flat head and tiny eyes 6R?J.&|
advanced on Dumas; the ugly mouth yawned open, wide enough to admit #!<x|N?_<
him. Dumas knew that sedentary groupers have no teeth to speak of; it s cn!,
seemed, however, that this individual might wish to swallow him I{M2nQi
unmasticated in the fashion of the mero type which swims agape(大张着嘴), eNXpRvY
taking in whole octopuses(章鱼). wl!'Bck=
The cavernous mouth approached within two feet; Dumas sculled S46[2-v1
backward, watchfully keeping a modest interval as the monster hI?<F^b
unhurriedly followed. The knowledge that the species was harmless gave 6_9w1
,WE
Dumas little comfort as he gazed into the fish''s mouth; he and the "+|>nA=7
grouper exchanged mutual stares of revulsion for a seemingly (s}9N
interminable period while Dumas was steadily pressed back. Then the A@`C<O ^
beast lost interest, turned aside, and returned to its dim home under YXBS!89m
the lost submarine. Dumas surfaced in a reflective mood: "Imagine X_=oJi|:
being swallowed by a lousy grouper." XLM 9+L
23. Dumas encountered the jewfish while . 1-q\C<Q)
A)trying to locate an old wreck. jkfI,T
B)skin fishing in Dakar harbor. h7o{l7`)
C)swimming near a foundered submarine. 0{Tf;a<
D)attempting to salvage a submarine. 5ptbz<Xv
24. The gigantic fish was actually . b"x:IDW qG
A)an extraordinarily large pomfret. "ebn0<cZ
C)a kind of grouper fish. h#;yA"j1&
B)a mero. ,kLeK{
