4、    June  , 2000 ― the Human Genome(基因組) Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic(遺傳的) map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities(團體) are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延長) human life. But those communities and policy(政策) makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.

    For the last few years, the genetic advances in the developing field of biotechnology(生物技術) have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code(密碼) have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination.

    While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding(解碼) human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal(致命的)diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes(基因) connected with terrible diseases as yet (迄今), and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.

    Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections(傳染), and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.

64. Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome?

   A. Because the human genome's completion can help them get rid of many diseases.

   B. Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.

   C. Because they wanted to be better known than others.

   D. Because the human genome can provide a lot of chances of work.

65. Which country studied the genes most rapidly in the world?

   A. Japan.             B. Germany.              C. The United States.     D. China.

66. The main idea of this article is about _______.

   A. the genes' discovery                 B. unlocking genetic code  

   C. the great human genome             D. the genes and the scientists

3、    We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively（被動地）. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.

    We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(謠言).

    Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.

    That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping（打上標記）it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.

    This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.

60. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.

   A. doing a medical experiment          B. visiting an exhibition

   C. solving a math problem                D. doing scientific reasoning

61. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.

   A. active learning   B. knowledge      C. passive learning      D. communication 

62. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.

   A. a message may be changed when being passed on

   B. a message should be delivered in different ways

   C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing

   D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor

63. What can we infer from the passage?

   A. Active learning is less important.

   B. Active learning occurs more frequently.

   C. Passive learning may not be reliable.

   D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.

2、CARDIFF, Wales Poets, singers and musicians from across the globe gathered in Wales to celebrate the tradition of storytelling.

“It might seem strange that people still want to listen in the age of watching television, but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again,” said David Ambrose, director of Beyond the Border, an international storytelling festival in Wales.

“Some of the tales, like those Inuit from Canada, are thousands of years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time,” he said early this month.

Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound. Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively.

Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence) storytelling in Wales.

“It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions, and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here.” Ambrose said.

   D. how difficult it is to understand the Inuit

1、  At the beginning of this century, medical scientists made an interesting discovery; we are built not just of flesh and blood but also of   36 . They were able to show that we all have “a body clock”   37    us, which controls the   38   and fall of our body energies,   39   us different from one day to the next.

The   40   of “a body clock” should not be too   41   since the lives of most living things are controlled   42   the 24 hour night-and-day cycle. We feel   43   and fall asleep at night and become   44   and energetic during the day. If the 24 hour-cycle is   45   , most people experience unpleasant   46   . For example, people who are not   47   to working at night can find that   48   of sleep causes them to   49   badly at work.

  50   the daily cycle of sleeping and   51  , we also have other cycles which   52   longer than one day. Most of us would   53   that we feel good on some days and not so good on    54   ; sometimes our ideas seem to flow and at other times, they   55   do not exist.
