Many experts complain that media too often take advantage of the science fiction aspects of nanotech(纳米技术).Reports of nanotech often refer to K. Eric Drexler’s book Engines of Creations , which predicts an age full of dominant molecular (分子的)manufacturing and a world without material scarcity . Whatever humans need will one day be built cheaply with microscopic self-replicating machines (微细自我复制机)that put atoms together to crate copies of anything alive in the world-from trees to human bodies .

In fact , the scientific community is deeply divided over whether self-replication machines are possible . If they are , major dangers could exist . Mr. Drexler himself thought that self-replicating machines could probably go out of control . He writes in his book that man-made “plants” with “leaves no more efficient than today’s solar cells could win over real plants ,crowding the earth with leaves that are not suitable to be eaten . Tough ‘bacteria’ could be more competitive than the real bacteria : They could spread everywhere , replicate swiftly ,and reduce the earth to dust in a matter of days .”

Critics of nanotech have made use of such images , calling for a delay on commercial nanotech until regulations are established . They also point to the possible military uses of nanotech . Bill Joy , the co-founder of Sun Microsystems , wrote in a Wired magazine essay in 2000 that if nanotech falls into the wrong hands , it could bring dangers to society .

Opponents say Mr. Joy is overreacting . “In a way , calling for bans on research into molecular manufacturing is like calling for a delay on faster-than-light travel because no one is doing it ,” says Glenn Reynolds , a University of Tennessee law professor .

Professor Reynolds says it is a good idea to regulate nanotech , but in ways the government would regulate any products that could be dangerous . Export controls and certification systems for nanotech companies are examples . US lawmakers have put forth four bills on nanotech research and development .

86．K. Eric Drexler in his book predicts a future world with sufficient material , because 　　　　　.

第Ⅱ卷(共40分)

(C)

You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia’s fast-food generation . Dr . Chwang , director of the Department of Food Nutrition , says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks . That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat . “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink . So although they may eat the same volume of food , their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量)has increased . Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang .

Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness , culture -namely Asians’ hospitality (好客)-is a reason for the fatness of today’s generation , according to Chwang . “Asian people love food ,” she says. “Eating and drinking are important social and family functions .”In the past , however , big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money . In today’s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption , 10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions .

More than anyone else , children are on the receiving end of their parents’ improved circumstances . “In the past , people had four or more children -now , they have one or two , so they tend to spoil them ,” says Chwang . “The easiest way is to give them ‘quality food ’. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love . They feel bad when their children look thin .”

When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children , Chwang says : “There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play . Children get fat because they don’t move , and eventually , they don’t want to move because they’re fat .

Thanks to technology , a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports . “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games ? They eat chocolate and drink Coke ,” says Chwang .

82．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?

　　　 A．Asian people tend to save more money .

　　　 B．Asian children depart from their diet tradition .

　　　 C．Asian children eat big meals on more occasions .

　　　 D．Culture contributes to the fatness of Asian children .

83．According to this passage , the ‘quality food’ fed by some parents is actually 　　　　　.

　　　 A．healthful food 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．qualified food

　　　 C．agreeable food 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．high-calorie food

84．Some parents feel bad when their children look thin , because 　　　　　.

　　　 A．their children don’t love eating and drinking

　　　 B．their children don’t have a good physical condition

　　　 C．they feel that they don’t take good care of their children

　　　 D．they feel that they are not wealthy enough to afford ‘quality food’
