         June 26, 2000 - the Human Genome(基因组) Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at
    drawing the genetic(遗传的) map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific
    and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid
    of diseases and prolonging(延长) human life. But those communities and policymakers 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(生物技术) have
    provides material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets
    of the human genetic code 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(解码) human DNA,
    the leading organization for genetic research is in the United States, which began in 1990, is "unlocking
    the code" of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases . Already, the Human Genome Project
    has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with terrible diseases as yet, 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 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.

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

    A. Because the human genome can help us live longer.
    B. Because they wanted to be better known than others.
    C. Because the human genome can provide a lot of money
    D. Because the human genome's completion can help them get rid of many diseases.

    2. Which of the following is NOT true?

    A. If the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.
    B. The scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers.
    C. Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.
    D. The United States began the Genes Study early in the 19th century.

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

    A. Japan.  
    C. The United States  .  
    B. British England    
    D. China.

    4. We can conclude that the Human Genome Project can cause _______.

    A. the policy makers to feel very happy.  
    B. the scientists to work harder
    C. many people to live longer.          
    D. a lot of companies to produce many new drugs

    5. What' the best title of the passage?

    A. unlocking genetic code                     
    B. the genes' discovery
    C. human genome's science                    
    D. the genes and the scientists

    　　Ten years ago, young students would have been proud to show off a new schoolbag or pencil box at the start of a term．But these days, it’s not enough．If going back to school only means new clothes and backpacks to you, you’re falling out-of-date．Teenagers in big cities now look for all the latest hi-tech things to show off to their classmates．Mobile phones, diskmans(CD players), MP3players, electronic dictionaries——the list is endless．

    　　“We need to keep in touch with our friends as well as enjoy lives, so my parents understand why I need a mobile phone and a diskman．” Wu said．She often uses her mobile phone to text message to her friends．Like other teenagers, Wu loves to shop in CD stores, searching for new albums by her favorite singers——Jeff Chang, Jay Chou and Sun Yanzi．As for the Dictaphone, she said she used it in her science classes to play back her teachers’ lectures when going over the difficult parts at home．

    　　According to Wu, 90 percent of her classmates have mobile phones and more than 85 percent have diskmans．The electronic dictionaries are helpful in English classes, so almost all students own one each．

    　　Although many high school students each own a diskman or MP3 player, Sun Jun from Shanghai doesn’t．She isn’t interested in changing her old tape player for a newer CD player．However, she thinks a mobile phone is a must for her and each of her Senior 3 classmates．They don’t often go home, so it’s important for them, she says, to have mobile phone to keep in touch with their families．

    C．

    阅读理解。
         In a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese,Korean,Japanese,French,and English-andall at the
    same time. This sounds incredible,but Alex Waibel,a computer science professor at US's Car-negie
    Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe,announced last week that it may soon
    be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier forpeople
    who speak different languages to understand each other.
         One application,called Lecture Translation,can easily translate a speech from one language into
    an-other. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Us-ers also have to be trained how to use the programme.
         Another machine can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what
    languagethey speak. "It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the
    person next to you,"Waibel said
         Prefer to read? So- called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny
    liquid-crystal display(LCD) screen.
         Then there's the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle
    movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech.
    The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face,according to
    research-ers.
         During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus,a Chinese student named
    Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks,neck and throat. Then he
    mouthed-without speaking aloud- a few words in Mandarin (普通话) to the audience. A few seconds
    later,the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and
    Spanish: "Let me introduce our new prototype."
         This particular instrument,when fully developed,might allow anyone to speak in any number of
    lan-guages or,as Waibel put it,"to switch your mouth to a foreign language". "The idea behind the
    universi-ty's prototypes is to create'good enough' bridges for cross- cultural exchanges that are
    becoming more common in the world,"Waibel said.
         With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on
    the radio; tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people;leaders of different
    coun-tries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.
    1.What can't be learned from the text?
    A.The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.
    B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.
    C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.
    D. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.
    2. What does the underlined word mean?
    A. happening at at the same time.          
    B. happening by itself.
    C. similar in size.                     
    D. Similar in quality.
    3.What's the final destination of inventing the language translators?
    A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.
    B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.
    C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.
    D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.
    4. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?
    A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.
    B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.
    C. With the help of the translator,you only need to open your mouth when you want to say
         something without saying the exact words at all.
    D.The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.
    5. Where can we probably find this passage?
    A. A newspaper.                          
    B. A magazine on science.
    C. A fairy tale.                            
    D. A scientific fantasy book.
