PART FOUR WRITING SECTIONA Direction: Reading the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks with no more than three words for each answer that best fits the passage. Blood Drive at Civic Center The local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic Center auditorium. Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned away for various medical reasons. Fifty others left because the lines were moving so slowly. The event concluded at 6 pm, three hours after the scheduled close. It was a long day for everyone-administrators, nurses, and donors. But there were plenty of chairs and tables, and many people brought their own books, magazines, or newspapers. The first thing the donors had to do, of course , was fill out the donor registration and screening form. When they finished filling out the form, they waited until a nurse called them to her desk. The average adult body contains 8 to 12 pints of blood. Donors can give one pint at a time. It takes your body 2 to 4 weeks to replace this amount. Most donors filled up the pint bag within 5 to 10 minutes. Before leaving, the donors received a sheet of instructions including: Do not lift any heavy objects for 12 hours. Leave your pressure bandage on for 2~3 hours. Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day. Do not do any laborious activity for 24 hours. “I wish I could hug and kiss all the volunteers that are here today, said Martha, the blood center donor recruiter. “Many donors underestimate the importance of what they’re doing. They think it is no big deal, but it is a big deal. Their blood is actually saving lives, helping other people to live, which will lead to a more harmonious society. We cannot thank them enough for that, nor can the recipients. SECTION B Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions according to the imfomation you get in the passage and the required words limit. Agricultural scientists in the United States have put a copy of a human gene into pigs, sheep and rabbits. They report that the gene seems to be working in some of the animals. The gene that the scientists are using controls the production of human growth hormone, a chemical necessary for growth. They are using the human gene because it has been more closely studied than any other growth gene. The scientists hope their work will someday result in food animals that grow faster and larger or produce more milk or eggs. The research is being done by scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Washington and the United States Department of Agriculture. The scientists put copies of human growth hormone into the fertilized eggs of the female animals. When baby animals were born from the eggs, the scientists looked for evidence that the human gene had become part of the animal’s genetic material. They examined almost 200 baby pigs and found the gene in 20 of them. They found it in 28 of more than 200 rabbits, but it was in only one of 73 baby sheep. The scientists said they found the human growth chemical produced by the gene in some of the animals. It is too soon to know if the animals will pass the human growth gene into their young, proving that the gene has become part of their genetic material. Similar research with mice two years ago produced a new kind of mouse that is two times larger than normal. The scientists hope the same thing will happen with farm animals. They say their research will permit other gene transplants that can give animals defense against diseases, or let them live in very hot or very cold places. American farmers already use chemical hormones to increase the size of cattle and the amount of milk they produce. But they have to put the hormones into the cows. If the gene transplants are fully successful, the cow’s body will produce growth hormone. 【查看更多】

    READING COMPREHENSION

    　　Prison Break(《越狱》)is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller．His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show．

    　　Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out his innocent older brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on television today．But what about the man behind the character

    　　Miller, 35, is a hard guy to figure out．He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way．

    　　Miller didn’t take a direct path to fame and fortune．He graduated from Princeton University(美国普林斯顿大学)in 1995, not with a degree in theatre or film, but in English．He didn’t even act when he was in college．His only performance experience was in his university’s singing group．Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood．

    　　Miller has always been different．Although he is American, he was born in Britain when his father was studying there．His family background is also a special mix of cultures．“My father is black and my mother is white．That means I have always been caught in the middle．I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place,”Miller says．

    　　Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood．Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant．Not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate．However, it all paid off for Miller in the end．

    　　In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia(《恐龙帝国》)．He starred as a thoughtful and shy man．Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later．With a golden globe nomination(提名)and another season of Prison Break on his resume(履历), Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood．
