JOHN SNOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA<1>”
Cholera used to<2> be one of the most feared diseases in the world, ①until a British doctor, John Snow, showed how it could be overcome.This illness causes severe<3> diarrhoea<4>, dehydration<5>, and even death.In the early 19th century, when an outbreak<6> of cholera hit<7> Europe, millions of people died from the disease.As a young doctor, John Snow became frustrated<8> ②because no one knew how to prevent or treat cholera.In time<9>, he rose<10> to become a famous doctor, and even attended to<11> Queen Victoria when she gave birth<12>.However, he never lost his desire to destroy cholera once and for all<13>.
①until引导时间状语从句,其中how it could be overcome是包含在该从句中的宾语从句。
②because引导原因状语从句,其中how to prevent or treat cholera是“疑问词+不定式”结构作宾语。
In general<14>, doctors in those days had two contradictory<15> theories to explain ③how cholera spread.One theory was ④that bad air caused the disease.Another was that cholera was caused by an infection<16> from germs<17> in food or water.Snow subscribed to<18> the second theory.It was correct, but he still needed proof<19>.Consequently<20>, ⑤when an outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate<21>.He discovered that in two particular<22> streets ⑥the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days.He was determined to<23> find out why.
③how cholera spread是how引导的宾语从句。
④that引导表语从句,在从句中不作成分。
⑤when引导时间状语从句。
⑥so that“如此……以至于……”引导结果状语从句。
Snow began by marking on a map the exact places ⑦where all those who died had lived.There were multiple<24> deaths near the water pump<25> in Broad Street(especially house numbers 16, 37, 38, and 40).However, some households<26>(such as 20 and 21 Broad Street, and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths.These people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street.They had been given free beer, and so had not drunk the water from the pump.Snow suspected<27> ⑧that the water pump was to blame<28>.What is more<29>, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street.⑨It seemed that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. As a result of<30> this evidence, John Snow was able to announce ⑩that the pump water carried cholera germs.Accordingly<31>, he ⑪had the handle<32> of the pump removed so that it could not be used.Through this intervention<33>, the disease was stopped in its tracks.
约翰·斯诺战胜“霍乱王”
霍乱曾经是世界上最可怕的疾病之一,直到英国医生约翰·斯诺展示了如何战胜它。这种疾病会导致严重的腹泻、 脱水,甚至死亡。19世纪初,欧洲爆发霍乱,数百万人因此丧生。作为一名年轻的医生,约翰·斯诺变得沮丧,因为没有人知道如何预防或治疗霍乱。后来,他成为一名著名的医生,甚至在维多利亚女王分娩时照顾她。然而,他从未放弃彻底消灭霍乱的愿望。
总的来说,当时的医生对霍乱的传播方式有两种相互矛盾的解释。一种理论认为,恶劣的空气导致了这种疾病。另一种(理论)认为霍乱是由食物或水中的细菌感染引起的。斯诺赞同第二种理论。这种理论是正确的,但他仍然需要证据(来证实)。因此,当1854年伦敦爆发霍乱时,斯诺开始调查。他发现,在两条特定的街道上,霍乱爆发非常严重,10天内就有500多人死亡。他决心找出原因。
斯诺开始在地图上标出了所有死者曾经居住过的确切地点。布罗德街的水泵附近有多人死亡(尤其是16号、37号、38号和40号的房子)。然而,一些家庭(如布罗德街20号和21号,剑桥街8号和9号)没有人死亡。这些人在剑桥街7号的酒吧里工作。他们有免费的啤酒喝,所以没有饮用水泵里的水。斯诺怀疑水泵(里的水)是罪魁祸首。更重要的是,在伦敦的另一个地方,一位妇女和她的女儿从布罗德街搬走后死于霍乱。
<31>accordingly adv.因此;相应地
<32>handle/ˈhændl/n.把手;拉手;柄 vt.处理;搬动;操纵(车辆、动物、工具等)
<33>intervention/ˌIntəˈvenʃn/n.介入;出面;干涉
<34>infect/Inˈfekt/vt.使感染;传染
※infectious adj.传染的
<35>link/lIŋk/n.联系;纽带 vt.把……连接起来;相关联
<36>raw/rɔː/adj.未煮的;生的;未经处理的;原始的
raw material 原材料
<37>be likely to do sth有可能做某事
<38>pure/pjʊə(r)/adj.干净的;纯的;纯粹的
pure water纯净水
<39>tireless adj.不知疲倦的
<40>substantial/səbˈstænʃl/adj.大量的;价值巨大的;重大的
<41>decrease/ˈdiːkriːs/n. 减少;降低;减少量/dIˈkriːs/vt.&vi.(使大小、数量等)减少;减小;降低
<42>thanks to 幸亏;由于
<43>statistic/stəˈtIstIk/n.[pl.]统计数字;统计资料;统计学
<44>transform/trænsˈfɔːm/vt.使改观;使改变形态 vi.改变;转变
<45>epidemiology/ˌepIˌdiːmiˈɒlədʒi/n.流行病学
⑦where引导定语从句,修饰先行词places;who引导定语从句,修饰all those。
⑧that引导宾语从句。was to blame 表示“负有责任”,不定式to blame用主动形式表示被动含义。
⑨It seemed that…“看来……”,that引导表语从句;so…that…引导结果状语从句,从句中包含have sth done 结构。
⑩that引导宾语从句。
⑪此句中使用了固定结构have sth done,意为“让/请人做某事;使某事/物被……”。so that引导目的状语从句。
The truth was ⑫that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected<34> by waste.Moreover, Snow was later able to show a link<35> between other cases of cholera and the different water companies in London.Some companies sold water from the River Thames ⑬that was polluted by raw<36> waste.The people ⑭who drank this water were much more likely to<37> get cholera than those ⑮who drank pure<38> or boiled water.
⑫that引导表语从句。
⑬that引导定语从句,修饰先行词water。
⑭who引导定语从句,修饰先行词the people。
⑮who引导定语从句,修饰先行词those。
Through Snow's tireless<39> efforts, water companies began to sell clean water, and the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial<40> decrease<41>.However, cholera is still a problem.Each year, millions of people around the world get cholera and many die from it.Fortunately, we now know ⑯how to prevent cholera, thanks to<42> the work of John Snow.Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics<43>, Snow transformed<44> the way ⑰scientists study diseases.For this reason, Snow is considered the father of modern epidemiology<45>.
⑯ “疑问词+不定式”结构作know的宾语。
⑰此处为省略引导词that/in which的定语从句。
这位妇女似乎非常喜欢(饮用)水泵里的水,所以她每天都让人把水送到她家。根据这些证据,约翰·斯诺能够宣布水泵里的水携带了霍乱病菌。因此,他让人把水泵的把手拆掉,这样水泵就不能用了。通过这种干预,疾病停止扩散了。
事实上,布罗德街上的水泵里的水已被废弃物污染了。此外,斯诺后来还发现了其他霍乱病例与伦敦不同供水公司之间的联系。一些公司出售泰晤士河的水,这些水被未经处理的废物污染了。喝这种水的人比喝纯净水或白开水的人更易得霍乱。
通过斯诺的不懈努力,供水公司开始销售清洁水,世界各地的霍乱威胁大幅减少。然而,霍乱仍然是一个问题。每年,世界各地有数百万人感染霍乱,许多人因此死亡。幸运的是,多亏了约翰·斯诺的努力,我们现在知道了如何预防霍乱。此外,通过使用地图(标注)和统计数据,斯诺改变了科学家研究疾病的方式。因此,斯诺被认为是“现代流行病学之父”。

1.答案 the most frightening
解析 考查比较等级。根据空前的one of并结合语境可知,此处表示“最令人害怕的”,用形容词最高级。
2.答案 an
解析 考查冠词。outbreak为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且outbreak的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
3.答案 unless
解析 考查连词。根据语境可知,此处表示“如果不……,除非……”,故填unless。
4.答案 that/which
解析 考查引导词。空处引导定语从句,指代先行词two contradictory theories,并在定语从句中作主语,故应用关系代词that/which。
5.答案 germs
解析 考查名词的数。germ表示“细菌,病菌”,为可数名词,且其前没有限定词,故填germs。
6.答案 had gathered/gathere
解析 考查时态。根据主句的时态可知,此处表示过去的过去,故应用过去完成时;也可看作叙述过去的事情,故也可用一般过去时。
7.答案 Remove
解析 考查非谓语动词。此处考查“have+宾语+宾补”结构,因the handle of the pump与remove之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作宾补。
8.答案 was pollute
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。空前的that引导定语从句,指代先行词the River Thames,因the River Thames与pollute之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且此处表示发生在过去的事情,故用一般过去时的被动语态;主语为单数,故填was polluted。
9.答案 to get
解析 考查非谓语动词。be likely to do sth可能做某事,为固定搭配。
10.答案 threat
解析 考查词性转换。空处作主语,故用名词threat。
