It was originally applied to the noxious stench emanating from swamps that was thought to cause a variety of diseases in the centuries before microbes were discovered and specifically linked to illness. But it was not until almost the end of the nineteenth century that a true virus was proven to be the cause of a disease.The nature of viruses made them impossible to detect for many years, even after bacteria had been discovered and studied. Not only are viruses too small to be seen with a light microscope, they also cannot be detected through their biological activity, except as it occurs in conjunction with other organisms. In fact, viruses show no traces of biological activity by themselves. Unlike bacteria, they are not living agents in the strictest sense. Viruses are very simple pieces of organic material composed only nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA, enclosed in a coat of, protein made up of simple structural units. They are parasites, requiring human, animal or plant cells to live. The virus replicates by attaching to a cell and injecting its nucleic acid; once inside the cell, the DNA or RNA that contains the virus’ genetic information takes over the cell’s biological machinery, and the cell begins to manufacture viral protein rather than its own.Before microbes were discovered it was believed that some diseases were caused by().Agerm-carrying insects.Bcertain strains of bacteria.Cfoul odors released from swamps.Dslimy creatures living near swamps.8.Find out_ they are going to attend the party this evening and ask _we may join them.AA whether, thatBB where, whetherCC what, if 9.The professor, together with his students_ capable of doing the skilled work now.AisBareCbeingDhave 10.I didn't feel like _, so he suggested _ a taxi.Ato walk, takingBwalking, takingCto walk, to takeDwalking, to take 11.The journey around the world took the old sailor nine months, () the sailing time was 226 days.A.of whichB.during whichC.from whichD.for which12.The Italian gave up his watch to the Frenchman because _.Ahe had stolen the watch from the FrenchmanBhe understood what the other wantedChe was afraid of the Frenchman 13.Don't forget to come to my birthday party tomorrow.AI don'tBI won'tCI can'tDI haven't 14.By saying "Ask the people of India. and Pakistan" in the second paragraph, the author is trying to show that_.Aspeaking the same language doesn't necessarily bring peaceBwars can destroy the relationship between two countriesCEnglish doesn't kill other languagesDEnglish is widely used in the world 15.So little () about mathematics that the lecture was complete beyond me.AI knowBdo I knowCI knewDdid I know16.It's too late to go out, (), it's going to rain.A.otherwiseB.besidesC.howeverD.therefore17.The word "proper" in the first line of the second paragraph means_.AsmallBbigCrightDwrong 18.The writer has a collection of seven books of stamps.ARight.BWrong.CDoesn't say. 19.This message is very important.
