Which type of fever is usually occurs in pneumococcus pneumonitis .

The record of the past half century has established, I think, the two general principles about human disease. First, it is necessary to know a great deal about underlying mechanisms before one can really act effectively; one had to know that the pneumococcus (肺炎球菌) causes lobar pneumonia (球形肺炎) before one could begin thinking about antibiotics. Second, for every disease there is a single key mechanism that dominates all the others. If one can find it, and think ones way around it, one can control the disorder. This generalization is harder to prove and arguable—it is more like a strong hunch (直觉) than a scientific assertion— but I believe that the record thus far tends to support it. The most complicated, multicell, multi-tissue, and multiorgan diseases I know are tertiary syphilis, chronic tuberculosis, and pernicious anemia. In each, there are at least five major organs and tissues involved, and each appears to be affected by a variety of environmental influences. Before they came under scientific appraisal, each was what we now call a "multifactorial disease. " And yet, When all the necessary facts were in it was clear that by simply switching off one thing—the spirochete, the tubercle bacillus, or a single vitamin deficiency—the whole array of disordered and seemingly unrelated pathological mechanisms could be switched off, at once.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Scientific appraisal shows that multifactorial diseases are often due in part to environmental conditions.

B．In the past half century, scientists have been able to find only a few principles that apply to all diseases.

C．Each disease has single underlying mechanism that must be understood before the disease can be cured.

D．Many diseases that were once life-threatening can now be cured by antibiotics.

听力原文：The United States has the largest my in the world. The size of an economy is usually described in terms of the Gross Domestic Product, The Gross Domestic Product, or G. D. P., is the value of all goods and services produced in a country in a year. In 2004, the United States had a G. D.P. estimated at close to 12 million million dollars. What percentage of that was agriculture? The government says just 9/10 of one percent, Farm workers make up an even smaller percentage of American labor: 7/10 of one percent.

In 2004, almost 20 percent came from industry -- and almost 80 percent came from services. The number of farms continues to decrease in America, whereas farm earnings have risen to record levels in recent years. Agricultural productivity continues to increase because of new technology and methods. But the Agriculture Department estimates that 9 percent of farm income last year came from government payments. That number is expected to decrease in the future.

Exports have provided American farmers with an average of about 25 percent of their money for the last fifteen years. Canada and Mexico are two of the three biggest markets for American farmers. In fact, in 2002, Canada replaced Japan for the first time as the top buyer of American agricultural exports. The Department of Agriculture says exports to the European Union are slowing.

Man of Few Words

Everyone chases success, but not all of us want to be famous.

South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is_______（51） for keeping himself to himself. When the 63-year-old was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature earlier this month, reporters were warned that they would find him "particularly difficult to_______（52）".

Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the University of Chicago. He seemed_______（53） by the news that he won the US$1.3 million prize. "It came as a complete surprise. I wasn't even aware they were due to make the announcement," he said.

His_______（54） of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend the prize-giving in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 10.

But despite being described as_______（55） to track down, the critics agree that his writing is easy to get to know.

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, to an English-speaking family, Coetzee_______（56） his breakthrough in 1980 with the novel "Waiting for the Barbarians （野蛮）". He_______（57） his place among the world's leading writers with two Booker prize victories, Britain's highest honour for novels. He first_______（58） in 1983 for the "Life and Times of Michael K", and his second title came in 1999 for "Disgrace".

A major theme in his work is South Africa's former apartheid （种族隔离） system, which divided whites from blacks._______（59） with the problems of violence, crime and racial division that still exist in the country, his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid_______（60） within.

"I have always been more interested in the past than the future," he said in a rare interview. "The past_______（61） its shadow over the present. I hope I have made one or two people think_______（62） about whether they want to forget the past completely."

In fact this purity in his writing seems to be_______（63） in his personal life. Coetzee is a vegetarian, a cyclist rather than a motorist and doesn't drink alcohol.

But what he has_______（64） to literature, culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up. "In looking at weakness and failure in life,"the Nobel prize judging panel said, "Coetzee's work_______（65） the divine （神圣的）spark in man."
