35、te of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. At age 75, Fauci has served under five presidents during his tenure (任期). His advice is sought all over the world when infectious diseases threaten to become public health crises. He says, when considering the history of public and global health, vaccines could
36、 be the most important intervention that has ever been developed for any public health issue.That was the case with the serious disease caused by the West Nile Virus. “West Nile Virus was never in the United States until 1999. It was in the West Nile area of Africa and in the Middle East and it came
37、 over to the United States, likely through a mosquito, or a bird, or a person who was infected. And we had a few cases for the first couple of years and then we had an outbreak a couple of years after it arrived and now, its common at a low level in the United States. It isnt a major public health t
38、hreat, but it is enough of an issue that we get enough cases each year and thats the reason why we have to have good mosquito control. We tried to make a vaccine, and would have made a vaccine, for West Nile years ago, but we couldnt find a pharmaceutical company that was interested in partnering wi
39、th us.“Today, another virus spread by mosquitoes, the Zika virus, is an issue of concern to the world. Zika outbreaks are currently happening in many countries and territories. The mosquitoes that can spread Zika live in many parts of the world, including parts of the United States. “What people nee
40、d to understand about Zika is its important to protect pregnant women. It is likely that Zika was in Africa and in Southeast Asia for decades and decades before we had the first recognized outbreak. In the United States, we have close to 700 already travel-related cases. Weve had local outbreaks of
41、dengue (登革热 ) and chikungunya (基孔肯雅病 ) in Florida and in Texas and weve been able to successfully contain them. I believe we need to do the same thing, and will do the same thing, with Zika.“Fauci will tell you he is a proud workaholic. That means he enjoys working a lot. He works 7 days a week. He
42、says there are many difficult problems in his work. However, just as important as his job, is his health. He is a devoted runner. Fauci has run several marathons and many 10-kilometer races. He also makes sure that, every day, he does something related to exercise.Fauci hopes that one day it will be
43、come possible to eliminate controllable infectious diseases. “I want to see the elimination of polio (小儿麻痹症). I want to see HIV no longer be an epidemic, as we know it. I want to see an era of the end of AIDS. I dont think well ever be able to completely eliminate infectious disease, thats unreasona
44、ble. But we can do a lot more to alleviate the suffering associated with infectious diseases.“58. What did Fauci once experience?A. He has served as five presidents of USA.B. He invented the vaccines against AIDS.C. He was infected by the West Nile Virus.D. He carried out some research on Zika.59. A

Relieve C. Reject D. RenewCOnly 60 percent of students seeking a bachelors degree at an American colleg
47、e or university finish their study program within six years. That information comes from the United States Department of Education. It was part of a report released in May. The report talks about full-time students who attended a four-year college or university for the first time in 2008. It states
48、that 60 percent of them completed their degree program by 2014.Experts say there are many reasons why this number is so low. But many schools are looking for ways to increase the graduation rate. For example, every American college or university requires students to identify the main subject, or “ma
49、jor,“ of their studies. After all their requirements have been met, students receive their degree in that major. Some universities require individuals to declare a major at the beginning of their studies. Other schools let students wait until their second year. Changing majors is also acceptable. But some exper
