Passage 1 Q8q_w2s,
Every year scientists open more doors that lead to the secrets of zNf5OItx
new beneficent drugs. dZgfls
There is bacitracin, which was discovered by two scientists at !gf3%!%
Columbia University''s College of Physicians and Surgeons. These two VC(|t} L4
people, Dr. Frank Meleney and Miss Balbina Johnson, knowing that the Z :+#3.4$3
human body had some kind of action in itself with which it fights fdG.=7`
infections, began to search for the chemical that does this. In the $IT9@}*{
hospital they examined badly infected wounds of people who had been *~uuCLv_
hurt in accidents and made tests of the blood and the infected tissue. !?*!"S-Sl
Finally, in the wound of a girl who had broken a leg bone, they $@kw>2
found the useful germs which seemed to be fighting the poisonous <pU
ou
infection. They took some of these into the laboratory and from them y}HC\A77uD
developed cultures; that is, larger masses of the germs with which to p ri{vveN@
experiment. At last, after long and painstaking work, they were able NF!1)
to draw from these germs a substance which is a germ destroyer. Dr. odf^W
Meleney and Miss Johnson named it bacitracin-baci because the germ is, G9inNz*Cx
in scientific language, a bacillus and tracin for Margaret Tracy, ]?`p_G3O
whose broken leg supplied the germ. c.Z4f

Bacitracin at first was used only locally; later the drug was )"uG*}\?b
developed into a solution that can be used to fight germ through the a[g|APZz

Passage 2 fHe0W
Our echo sounder located the wreck of a French submarine that had 7XVzd]jH
foundered during the war in seventy-five feet of water outside Dakar P A6KX5
harbor. Dumas and I plunged down and found the vessel lying clean and 7}'A)C>J;
upright, surrounded by such clouds of fish as we had rarely seen-small (!VMnLlXRK
silver fingerlings and dark metals. As Dumas swam into the shadow of _h1 HuL
the port propeller, he came face to face with a gigantic fish, grouper ..]*Ao2
variety, cousin to our familiar Mediterranean meroblast-fish. This ..q63dr
specimen was ten times the size of our old acquaintances: he weighed :qAc= IC%
at least four hundred pounds. The wide, flat head and tiny eyes `?]rr0.}hp
advanced on Dumas; the ugly mouth yawned open, wide enough to admit i'Y'HI
him. Dumas knew that sedentary groupers have no teeth to speak of; it Z[k#AgC)
seemed, however, that this individual might wish to swallow him "s>fV9YyZ
unmasticated in the fashion of the mero type which swims agape(大张着嘴), Cv>yAt.3
taking in whole octopuses(章鱼). 7bonOt
Y
The cavernous mouth approached within two feet; Dumas sculled WXLe,7y
backward, watchfully keeping a modest interval as the monster MjQ[^%lfL
unhurriedly followed. The knowledge that the species was harmless gave /i{tS`[F2a
Dumas little comfort as he gazed into the fish''s mouth; he and the 8
)mjy!,
grouper exchanged mutual stares of revulsion for a seemingly Gpdv]SON{
interminable period while Dumas was steadily pressed back. Then the jcEs10y
beast lost interest, turned aside, and returned to its dim home under &0+x2e)7g
the lost submarine. Dumas surfaced in a reflective mood: "Imagine ShWHHU(QQ
being swallowed by a lousy grouper." W&+y(Z-t
23. Dumas encountered the jewfish while . @PPR$4
A)trying to locate an old wreck. qnq%mwDeD
B)skin fishing in Dakar harbor. YVB%
kKv{
C)swimming near a foundered submarine. L289'Gzg
D)attempting to salvage a submarine. %bIsrQ~B
24. The gigantic fish was actually . `E3:;|
A)an extraordinarily large pomfret. (O8,zqP9l
C)a kind of grouper fish. VLcyPM@"Q!
