He is particularly famous for his work on rabies vaccine(狂犬病疫苗).The rabies virus enters the body through the bite of an infected animal or through infected saliva entering an existing wound.After experimenting with the saliva of animals suffering from the disease,Pasteur concluded that the disease rests in the central nervous system of the body.By studying the tissues of infected animals-rabbits,Pasteur was able to produce a form of the virus.This could be used for inoculation () On July 6,1885,Pasteur tested his pioneering rabies vaccine on a man for the first time.He saved the life of a young man called Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog.Pasteur was urged to treat him with his new method.The treatment lasted 10 days and at the end he recovered and remained healthy.Since then thousands have been saved by this treatment. In March 1886,Pasteur was invited to present his results to the Academy of Sciences and in 1888 went on to found the Pasteur Institute in Paris.This was a pioneering clinic for the study of infectious diseases,the treatment of rabies and a centre for teaching.Pasteur directed the institute personally until he died.The Pasteur Institute is still one of the most important centres in the world. Pasteur became a national hero and was honored in many ways.He died at Saint-Cloud on September 28,1895 and was given a state funeral at the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Modifications of the Pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today.A newer vaccine which contains virus prepared from human cells grown in the laboratory is safer and requires a shorter course of injections 4.A person can develop rabies. A.if he is bitten by a rabbit B.if he touches infected saliva C.if infected saliva enters his wounds D.if he touches an infected animal 5.What can we learn about Pasteur's test of his vaccine on the man? A.The man was sent to a clinic ten days later. B.It didn't save the man's life. C.It proved to be a great success. D.The man was his second patient. 6.After Pasteur died,the Pasteur Institute. A.worked much better than before B.worked well until today C.continued to be in business for many years D.became the most important centre in the world 7.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Pasteur's rabies vaccine is out of date. B.A new rabies vaccine has already been tested on patients. C.Injections of vaccine still take much time. D.Much improvement has been made on rabies vaccine. C You're in the shower.You grasp the showerhead.What do you do?You sing. Have you ever wondered about this phenomenon?Some of us wouldn't sing in public if someone paid us. Yet we'll sing in the shower without embarrassment.Believe it or not,there's a scientific explanation behind it. First,let's look at why we're relaxed enough in the shower to burst into song.Think about it:you don't sing when you're sad(unless you're singing the blues,of course).For many people,shower time is the only time they're alone all day.You're in a warm,small,safe environment.You're comfortable enough to be yourself!When you relax,your brain releases dopamine ()which can give your creative juices an extra kickstart. Warm water is rushing over you,and now you're relaxed and feeling good.It turns out that singing makes you feel even better.Singing,because of the breathing you put into it,gets more oxygen into the blood.This gives you better circulation,which in turn improves your body and mood.And because you have to breathe a little deeper to belt out a song,you get some of the same relaxation and mind-clearing benefits as meditation () Another neat thing is that when you're singing,you really can't think about your problems-more stress relief. But the best thing about singing in the shower?The acoustics(音响效果)！You can never ask for a better sound system than a bathroom.Because bathroom tiles(don't absorb sound,your voice bounces back and forth around the room before fading away,which makes your voice hang in the air longer.And because the shower is a small space,it boosts your voice,making your singing sound more powerful.So you will sound better than you actually are,which is a confidence boost. We don't sing in the shower simply because we have"Call Me Maybe"stuck in our heads.It turns out we do it for many reasons:stress relief,happiness,great acoustics,or maybe just because we like to hear our own voices. Whatever the reason,keep it up.It's good for you.And if you've never tried it,pick a song,grab the showerhead and put on your own private concert. 8.Why do many people feel comfortable singing in the shower? A.The acoustics are perfect in public places. B.Shower time is relaxing and private. C.Singing boosts stress levels. D.Showering improves vocal abilities. 9.What scientific effect contributes to the urge to sing in the shower? A.Released dopamine due to relaxation. B.Increased exposure to blues music. C.Enhanced oxygen absorption from water. D.Strengthened lung capacity. 10.Why does singing in the shower help in relieving stress? A.The bathroom's small size encourages relaxation.B.Breathing while singing improves circulation. C.Singing removes the need for deep breaths. D.Tile walls absorb sound and stress. 11.In which part of a website can we probably read the text? A.Science. B.Technology. C.Culture. D.People. 0 The past three weeks have witnessed the dramatic rise and fall of a new candidate for the materials science:a superconductor (that works at room temperature.On July 22th 2023,a team of researchers in South Korea reported their findings on a substance they called LK-99,claiming that its discovery was a"brand new historical moment".A hit of online physics discussions followed,only to fall flat two weeks later.LK-99.it seemed,was a bubble(泡沫). Whenever electrical power runs through a transmission (line,some is lost as waste heat,a common tax forced by the laws of nature.The huge potential of superconductors is that they carry electricity over large distances with perfect efficiency,having the greatest impact on energy generation,transmission and distribution.If we ever figure out how to produce them cheaply and make them work at room temperature rather than only at hundreds of degrees below zero,it would revolutionize our economy and help save the environment. Superconductors can also achieve things like powerful magnetic (fields in mid-air,enabling new electronic devices,computers and modes of transportation.This technology has been in development in Japan for decades,with maglev trains originally projected to open to the public in 2027,running at speeds up to 375 miles per hour between Tokyo and Nagoya. The pull of a room-temperature superconductor grows as our economic and environmental picture darkens. It's the kind of miracle material that could slow climate change while driving global economy,realized new technologies seen in science fiction. We still don't know whether the field of superconductivity research will benefit from the new paths opened up by the LK-99 in the last few weeks.It's a field where theory and experiment have often challenged each other, and our expectations of what is possible have frequently been questioned by what has been observed.Although public interest will no doubt fade for now,an obvious promise remains:a superconducting golden age might be just over the horizon,and the role of science is clear-to find a way to get us there. 12.What can we learn about electricity from the text? A.We should pay the tax using electricity. B.The law of nature regulates the electricity tax. C.Electricity loss during transmission is unavoidable. D.Electricity loss can be reduced to zero by superconductors. 13.What may happen if superconductors are materialized? A.The electricity bill will become a huge burden. B.The issue of climate change will be dealt with. C.The economy and environment will start to fade. D.The new modes of transportation are more available. 14.What is the author's attitude to superconductors? A.Neutral. B.Doubtful. C.Confident. D.Indifferent. 15.What would be the best title of the passage? A.Bubble Burst:Where Is Superconductor LK-99 Going. B.Superconductor:Why It Sends Scientists Heart Racing. C.Material Science:How It Booms with Superconductors. D.Superconductor:How It Becomes the Commander of Technology. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to deal with stress at school Stress is part of students'life.While some stress can help inspire them to get work done,too much stress can cause problems with health,sleep and brain function.Now when you feel your stress building up inside,how can you manage it?16.
