sontage（19332004）was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. for more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything-to read every book worth reading ,to see every movie worth seeing .when she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as partisan review, she appeared as the symbol of american culture life ,trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art .with great effort and serious judgement. sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture. seriousness was one of sontages lifelong watchwords(格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. in “notes camp”, the 1964 essay that first made her name ,she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous .“notes on camp”,she wrote, represents “a victory of form over content, beauty over morals”.by conviction（信念）she was a sensualist（感觉论者）, but by nature she was a moralist （伦理学者）,and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s , it was the latter side of her that came forward. in illness as metaphor published in 1978, after she suffered cancershe argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities（被压抑的性格）, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. in fact , re-examining old positions was her life long habit.in america, her story of a 19th century polish actress who set up a perfect society in california, won the national book award in 2000. but it was as a tireless all-purposer cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “sometimes,” she once said ,“i feel that, in the end, all i am really defending is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” and in the end ,she made us take it seriously too.61the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means

held in the european off-season in june and july, when the tiny nation of qatarm beat out usa australia, japan and south korea, as the venue（地点）the 2022 world cup soccer, there were gasps of surprise from the fans it was not just because of the size of the competitors, but also the fact that doha sees an average top temperature of 41 degrees celsius (106f) in june and july with the possibility of top temperatures as high as 50c (122f). while shifting the world cup to the cooler month.since the world cup cannot be moved to the cooler season in january or to a neighboring country with milder weather, qatar has to figure out a solution to make the game more comfortable. a team of engineering scientists from qatar university (qu) have taken a more high-tech approach to solving the problem theyve reportedly developed a type of artificial cloud designed to float above the world cup venues and provide fans and players with relief from the blazing sun.the artificial clouds system was invented by a team led by dr saul abdul ghani, head of the mechanical and industrial engineering department at qu, who told gulf news that the clouds would be made from a lightweight carbon structure carrying a giant envelope of material containing helium（氦） gas. the cloud would also feature solar panels on its upper surface to power engines that allow the cloud to be moved via remote control. while the country officials have promised to improve some of the issues with solar-powered stadiums capable of reducing the temperatures inside, to a comfortable 20(68f),there is still concern of how the players will be able to function in the practice fields.the system would initially cost around us$500,000, with prices coming down with commercial scale production. however, since qatar needs to find a solution, the money is probably to the issue. the bigger question is, will this team of scientists actually be able to conjure up（兑现）something that they have promised? we will all find out in about eleven years!66by mentioning “the european off-season”, the author tells us .awhy the world cup is heldbwhere the host countries of the world cup arecwhere the world cup is usually helddwhen the

the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.write no more than three words for each answer.there are many reasons why you might not tell all when your doctor asks you to list the medications you are taking. but there is one very good reason why you should tell all: your health. or you may encounter a drug interaction, a situation in which a substance affects the activity of a drug.even though drug reactions and interaction are responsible for only about 3.8 percent of emergency department visits, many of these cases are serious. medications have become an important component of good medical care, often taking the place of surgery or other invasive procedures. pills are thought to be good cures for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol（胆固醇）and they are also used to treat depression and other kinds of diseases. as a result, people prefer to take combined medications, thinking they all work for good.at least 25 percent of americans over age 65 take three or more medications daily-in many cases, prescribed by different doctors. any of these medications can cause an unfavorable reaction. when two or more are taken at the same time, there is a risk of a drug interaction. further increasing the risk, 40 percent of american adults regularly have herbal remedies（药物）or vitamins often in combination with prescription or over-the-counter medications and usually without the knowledge of their doctors.to avoid the bad effects, you should follow the instructions. your doctor will tell you when and how the medications are to be taken and if they are to be taken with or without certain foods. these instructions are important to ensure that the drug does its job effectively.its a good idea to go to the same doctor regularly so he can be familiar with the drugs you are taking. and be sure to consult him before starting to take herbal remedies or vitamins. finally, new medications are coming onto the market all the time. all the possible reactions and interactions are not always known. be alert to symptoms and report them immediately to your doctor.title: 71. i. definitiona situation in which a substance affects the activity of a drug.ii.
