19、drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these t

20、wo killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases

21、 can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(壽命) can be prolonged. Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means t

22、heir children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child

23、will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not c

24、ome out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.36. What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to ?A. gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.B. The

25、two murderers who killed the cloned babyC. The two diseases of cancer and heart diseaseD. Hereditary diseases and cancer37.Whats the main idea of the third paragraph?A.

Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.B. Using gene technology,

27、 scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.39.What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A. Expressing the writers idea that gene technology will benefit peop

28、leB. Telling people the advantages of gene technologyC. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit peopleD. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanityBRead a whole book in English? Me?Yes, you. Believe it or not that may be easier than you think. Not all classic

29、s are too difficult or complicated. So youre not limited to simplified versions (簡寫本). And the easier books are not for young children.Books in their original versions (原著) may send you to the dictionary. And you might not understand everything you read. But reading one from cover to cover will give

30、 you a real sense of accomplishment. The key is to find the right books. Lets take a look at these.The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis)Stepping into an old wardrobe, four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. In this delightful land, they find friends am

31、ong the many talking creatures.The children soon discover, however, that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch. Edmund, one of the children, falls under her power. Who can free Narnia? Only Aslan, the great and noble lion. He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the

32、 battle against the White Witch and those who save her.The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, hasnt caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land, the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three-day battle. First he struggles

33、against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fishHemingway won the Pulitzer Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory an

34、d regret.A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine Lingle)Megs father, a US government scientist, has been missing for many months. He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him. But first they

35、must outwit the forces of evil they encounter on their journey through time and space. Can they find Megs father before it is too late?This novel is more than just a science-fiction adventure. Its an exploration of the nature of our universe.The Pearl(John Steinbeck)One day Kino, a poor Mexican pear

36、l diver, finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life, new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. “No,” says Kino. “I will have my chance. I am a man.” But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl

37、, Kino and his wife must run for their lives.This tale of dreams, justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)Its winter, 1880-8-1, on Americans northern prairies.

38、rm. Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped, no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuels are running out. Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle to keep their spirits up.This story provides

42、tice and evilCSir, Last Saturday I watched the TV coverage（news report) of the latest Grand Prix motor race and could not fail to notice how much advertising there was. In particular, the leading car (and the one that eventually won) was almost constantly on the screen; it was painted to look like a

43、 packet of well-known cigarettes. Not only that, but the car was, on more than one occasion, referred to by the commentator（評論員）not by the name of the driver or the motor company, but by the name of the product. However, the football team that I support is not allowed to wear shirts advertising anyt

44、hing when their matches are being televised. The rule preventing sportsmen and sportswomen from carrying advertisements on television is a good one. Keep it and do it. To take one example, what is the effect, I wonder, on the young and old, of the apparent connection between cigarette smoking and an

45、 exciting sport like motor-racing? L. H. Gray, LondonSir, What a ridiculous situation our television companies find themselves in with regard to sport and advertising! I watched a televised football match in which the players did not carry any advertisements on their shirts, and yet there was advert

46、ising all around the ground. (Do the TV producers think we viewers are blind or something?) And when a well-known international player was interviewed after the match, both he and the interviewer referred by name to the make-ups firm! And as if that were not enough, the sports item that followed was

47、 the National Bank Golf Tournament. Advertising is all around us every day. Long live advertising, I say, and let the television companies recognize it and allow football players, athletes, racing drivers and others to wear sponsors'（贊助公司）advertisements. At least we would all know where we were!

48、 Mrs. R. P. Laing, Bristol44. L. H. Gray would like to see _. A. advertising officially forbidden from televised sport B. cigarette advertisements made illegal C. football teams wear shirts advertising certain products D. the law forbidding commercials will come into effect soon45. Mrs. Laing believ

49、es that _. A. sportsmen should be allowed to carry advertising on TV B. advertising cigarettes should be officially forbidden at football matches C. advertising on television should be forbidden D. golf tournaments should not be sponsored by banks46. Both Gray and Laing agree that _. A. sportsmen sh

50、ould be allowed to advertise on TV B. TV sport should allow advertising except for drink and cigarettes C. TV companies must get rid of their "double standards" D. sports commentators should be allowed to advertiseDIn summer, millions of people will head for the beachAnd while the ocean ca

51、n be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another waySome scientists think that waves could help make electricity“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?”

52、 asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves”Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricityMost waves are created when winds blow across the ocean“The winds start out by making little ripples (波紋)

53、 in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said“Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey”When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water

54、and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (渦輪) The turbine can then power an electrical generator (發(fā)電機) The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in ScotlandThe resource is hugeWe will never run out of wave power, b

55、esides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coalOceans cover three quarters of the earths surfaceThat would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the worldThere are some drawbacks, howeverJamie Taylor said that wave power still co

56、st too much moneyHe said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknownPlus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat trafficWith more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and c
