With a measured sardonic eye she was able to summarize social mores and

20、the restraints suffered by women in Regency England.

26、septic). Fleming noticed that where there was mould the germs had stopped developing. It was one of Flemings colleagues who identified the mould as penicillin.

32、ey live in for the most part. Trees in rainforests have broad leaves, shaped to encourage the heavy rain to run off the leaves. The large leaves encourage transpiration so the plants dont overheat. In very dry climates plants may develop an ability to store water, such as the cactus, which also has

33、its leaves reduced into tiny spines which reduce transpiration to almost nothing so its precious water is conserved. At the first sign of drought, plants close their leaf pores to prevent wilting and slowing down growth so that they need less water. Coniferous plants also have small spiky leaves so

34、that they dont lose too much water during the frozen winters. Grasses roll their leaves into tubes to protect their leaf pores from the drying effect of the wind. Tropical air plants have moisture sensitive plugs attached to their leaf pores which are pulled down over the pores, sealing them to hold

46、Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANAWER SHEET 1. Passage 1 If the United Nations Security Council rushes to send inspectors back into Iraq on Baghdads promise of cooperation and under the old rules, it will be playing a chumps game, one Saddam Husse

47、in has won countless times. Once in a while, the inspectors will face delay, obstruction, bugging and a succession of manufactured crises. These will prompt familiar fights among the major powers over whether a particular Iraqi act constitutes a major violation. Soon the United Sates will declare th

48、e whole exercise a failure and invade Iraq. That is an outcome worth avoiding. For the United States, the costs of such a war include the death of soldiers, economic losses caused by the effect of soaring oil prices on a fragile stock market, the need to post tens of thousands of troops in Iraq for

49、many years, lingering resentment among allies whose cooperation we need and the near certainty of creating legions of new terrorists who hate America. For the United Nations, the result would be a terrible defeat, an admission of weakness and its inability to impose its writ on a villain. For the wo

50、rld as a whole, the costs will include the deaths of innocent Iraqis, increased repression in Arab states coping with domestic political anger and possibly chaos in the region.That is the short list. The worst-case outcomes include an attack with biological weapons on Israel and on American troops a

What would be the likely response by both countries, and with what long-term consequence?There is a credible alternative to these scenarios that is worth trying. It is a new system of coercive inspection to replace

52、 the game of cat and mouse that Mr. Hussein has perfected. The Security Council would create a powerful, American-led multinational military force, the inspection implementation force, that would enable the inspection teams to carry out comply or else inspections. If Iraq refused to accept, or obstr

53、ucted the inspections, regime change (preferably under a United Nations mandate) Would be back on the table.1.
