Unit 1霍乱、肺结核等疾病给人类健康带来了极大的损害。
Robert Koch的研究成果为战胜这些疾病取得了重大突破。
Cholera and tuberculosis(肺结核) were two of the mostdangerous killer diseases in the late 19th century.A man,namedRobert Koch,made a breakthrough in the fight against thesediseases.Who was Robert Koch?Koch was a German scientist, born in Hanover in1843.Koch began research into the microbes(细菌)affecting diseased animals and people in 1872.He won the Nobel Prize in 1905 for his work on tuberculosis.What made him famous?In 1878 Koch discovered that microbes caused wounds to go infected,but his big breakthrough came when he decided to stain(给……着色) microbes with dye(染料),enabling him to photograph them under a microscope.Using this method he was able to study them more effectively and prove that every disease was caused by different germs.He identified the microbes that caused tuberculosis in 1882 and cholera in 1883.How did he do this?Koch's discoveries were the result of careful research using the microscope,photography and dyes.As a result of his work,the German government also set up an “Institute of Infectious Diseases〞 in Berlin in 1891 for medical research and development. In the 20th centurymedical research has increasingly involved teams of researchers supported by large public or private funds.Results of his researchThe scientific evidence of microbes helped other scientists prove that pollution spread disease.It meant certain kinds of action could be taken to prevent certain types of disease.Since cholera was carried in water, for example, its spread couldbe prevented with clean water supplies.Longterm importanceKoch was responsible for establishing the new “Science of Modern Bacteriology〞. Other scientists would continue to improve our knowledge of disease and germs by using his methods.By 1900 he and his students had identified 21 germs causing diseases.[阅读障碍词]1.breakthrough n.突破;突破性进展2.microscope n. 显微镜3.germ n. 细菌4.involve vt. 包含;牵涉5.establish vt. 建立;创办[诱思导读]根据短文内容,判断正(T)误(F)1.Cholera and tuberculosis were the most dangerous killer diseases in the late 19th century.( )2.Robert Koch won the Nobel Prize for his work on cholera and tuberculosis.( )3.Robert Koch's methods can help other scientists to improve our knowledge of disease and germs.( )[答案]1-3 FFTⅠ.匹配以下单词的词性及汉语意思( )1.challenge A.vt.弄脏;污染( )2.handle B.n.挑战vt.向……挑战( )3.pollute C.n.柄;把手vt.处理;操纵( )4.instruct D.vt.& n.连接;联系( )5.link E.vt.命令;指示;教导( )6.defeat F.vt.打败;战胜;使受挫n.失败( )7.attend G.vt.& vi.结束;推断出( )8.cure H.vt.认为;怀疑n.被怀疑者;嫌疑犯( )9.suspect I.vt.照顾;护理;出席;参加( )10.conclude J.n.治愈;痊愈vt.治愈;治疗[答案]1-5 BCAED 6-10 FIJHGⅡ.选择以下句中相应词组的汉语意思A.提出B.调查C.治好;矫正D.和……联系或连接起来 E.得出结论F.暴露( )1.The government will look into how to reduce unemployment.( )2.No one has put forward a better plan than this one.( )3.Nothing could cure her of her impatience with Anna.( )4.To dry the wet clothes quickly,she exposed them to the sunshine on purpose.( )5.With careful study,the scientist drew a conclusion finally from what he had surveyed.( )6.She doesn't know whether her mobile phone can be linked to the Internet or not in India.[答案]1-6 BACFEDJOHN SNOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA〞John Snow was a famous doctor in London—so expert(熟练的),indeed,that he attended Queen Victoria as her personal physician(医生).But he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed(暴露) to cholera①.This was the deadly disease of its day.Neither its cause nor its cure(治愈) was understood.So many thousands of terrified people died every time②there was an outbreak.John Snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem.He knew that cholera would neverbe controlled(控制) until its cause was found.约翰·斯诺战胜“霍乱王〞约翰·斯诺是伦敦一位著名的医生——他的确医术精湛,因而成了维多利亚女王的私人大夫。
