13、 knew that cholera would never be controlled(控制)until its cause was found.19 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。但当他一想到要帮助(那些)受到霍乱威胁的普通百姓,他就感到很振奋。霍乱是当时最致命的疾病。人们既不知道它的病源,也不知道它的治疗方法。因此,每次暴发霍乱时就有成千上万惊恐的人死去。约翰斯诺想面对这个挑战,解决这个问题。他知道在找到病源之前,疫情是无法控制的。20 助读讲解 过去分词短语 exposed to cholera 作后置定语,修饰 pe
14、ople。every time 意为“每次”,用作连词,连接时间状语从句。21 He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera killed people.The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air.A cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victims(受害者)The second suggested that people absorbed(吸收)th
15、is disease into their bodies with their meals.From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person died.22 对于霍乱是如何致人死亡的,当时有两种相对合理的理论,斯诺对这两种理论比较感兴趣。第一种看法是霍乱病毒在空气中繁殖。它像一股危险的气体到处飘浮,直到找到受害者为止。第二种看法是人们是在吃饭时把这种病毒引入体内的。疾病从胃里发作而迅速殃及全身,患者很快就会死亡。23 助读讲解 suggested 在此处意为“间接表明;暗示”,
16、后面的从句不用虚拟语气。过去分词 affected 在句中作定语,意为“受疾病侵袭的”。24 John Snow suspected(认为;怀疑)that the second theory was correct but he needed evidence.So when another outbreak hit London in 1854,he was ready to begin his enquiry(询问)As the disease spread quickly through poor neighbourhoods,he began to gather information
17、.In two particular streets,the cholera outbreak was so severe(严重的)that more than 500 people died in ten days.He was determined to find out why.25 约翰斯诺认为第二种说法是正确的,但他需要证据。因此,在1854 年伦敦再次暴发霍乱时,约翰斯诺就准备开始他的调查。当霍乱在贫民区迅速蔓延的时候,他就开始收集资料。在两条特定的街上霍乱流行得很严重,以至于 10 天内就有 500 多人死亡。他决心要查明原因。26 助读讲解 hit vt.(厄运、灾难等)突然袭

20、r from the pump.It seemed thatthe water was to blame(责备)28 首先,他在一张地图上标明了所有死者住过的确切的地方,这提供了一条说明霍乱病因的很有价值的线索。许多死者是住在宽街的水泵附近(特别是 16、37、38 和 40 号)。他还发现有些住宅(如宽街上的20 号和 21 号以及剑桥大街上的 8 号和 9 号)却无人死亡。他以前没预见到这种情况,所以他要进行更进一步的调查。他发现,这些人都在剑桥大街 7 号的酒馆里工作。酒馆为他们免费提供啤酒喝,因此他们没有喝从宽街水泵里抽上来的水。看来水是罪魁祸首。29 助读讲解 where 引导定语从

22、ndle(柄;把手)from the pump so that it could not be used.Soon afterwards the disease slowed down.He had shown that cholera was spread by germs(细菌)and not in a cloud of gas.31 接下来,约翰斯诺调查了这两条街的水源。他发现,水是从河里来的,而河水被从伦敦排放的脏水污染了。他马上让宽街上惊慌失措的百姓拆掉水泵的把手,这样,水泵就用不成了。不久,疫情就得到缓解。他证明了霍乱是由病菌而不是由气体传播的。助读讲解 look into 调查;
23、了解。so that 引导目的状语从句。32 In another part of London,he found supporting evidence from twoother deaths that were linked(联系)to the Broad Street outbreak.A woman,who had moved away from Broad Street,liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day.Both she and her dau
24、ghter died of cholera after drinking the water.With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with certainty that polluted water carried the germs.33 在伦敦的另一个地区,他从两个与宽街暴发的霍乱有关联的死亡病例中又发现了有力证据。有一位妇女是从宽街搬过来的,她特别喜欢从那个水泵里抽上来的水,每天都要让人把水运到她家。她和她的女儿喝了这种水后,都得了霍乱而死去。有了这个额外的证据,约翰斯诺就能够肯定地宣布,这种被污染了的水携带着病
