18、irus by blocking its spread.According to legend, vaccination was invented by Dr Edward Jenner. Jenner showed that healthy children vaccinated with cowpox, a mild infection of cattle, could not catch smallpox. He was supposedly inspired by a comment from a local milkmaid, but there is evidence that t
19、he idea came from a medical friend, John Fester, who had experimented with cowpox. Nevertheless, Jenner deserves credit for introducing vaccination into the medical mainstream with his paper published in 1798.In 1966, 160 years after the prediction that vaccination would clean off the disease, the W
20、orld Health Organization launched its Smallpox Eradication Programme. This heroic 1-year drive was directed by two American public health doctors, DA Henderson and Bill Forge. Their hardships were enormous: One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed; Henderson promised to s
21、end him the tyre and wished him good appetite. But Henderson and Foeges hard work paid off-three years after the last smallpox case was informed (to make sure no outbreaks had been missed) Target Zero Day was declared.40 years on, shy should we remember Target Zero Day?

Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic (遗传的) code And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.Another group of migrators does not quite fit either m
28、odel, and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Corys shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly
29、 from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely.Corys shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the exploration-refinement, and until no
30、w it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals movements.But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and ha
31、d more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the exploration-refinement for migratory birds, says Letizia Campioni, who led the study. Younger Corys shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults- but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which grad

It might be safer to
33、repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.32. The first paragraph mainly .A. describes animals habitats B. talks about migration modelsC. compares different species D. introduces a tracking technology33. What does
34、 the underlined word his in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The long life of Corys shearwaters.B. The way Corys shearwaters form their migration patterns.C. The opening for learning and practice.D. The process scientists track Corys shearwaters movements.34. What docs Letizia Campionis study find about the
35、younger Corys shearwaters?A. They travel as much as adult birds.B. They move in a predictable manner.C. They lower the speed for exploration.D. They look for a course with their parents.35. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Man-made changes make migration easier.B. Animals make a safer
36、 journey via a fixed track.C. Course exploration contributes to birds adaptability.D.A combination of strategies assures migration success.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10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。Supporting OthersWere always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others, Indeed
