such as cancer and heart disease. every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. but if the gene technology is used, 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 curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. in addition, people can live longer.gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. some families have hereditary diseases and their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. in the past, doctors could do nothing about them. but gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. the scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to clone 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 be cloned. but i believe cloned babies will not come out in large amounts, for most couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way. of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.24. what does “these two killers” in the 2nd paragraph refer to?a. hereditary diseases and cloned baby. b. the two murderers who killed people.c. cancer and heart disease. d. two treatments of the diseases including gene technology.25. the underlined word “hereditary diseases” (in paragraph 3) probably means

remember more and behave better when 3d images are used in lessons，research suggests. they are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts，and display higher levels of concentrationprofessor anne bamford，of the university of the arts，london，studied the effectiveness of 3d content in 15 schools across seven countries，including the ukpupils in 3d classes can remember more than those in the 2d classes after four weeks，improving test scores by an average of 1 7 percent compared with eight percent for 2d lessonsthey gave more detailed answer to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3d, using hand gestures and mime(模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfullythe teachers commented that the pupils in the 3d groups had deeper understanding，increasedattention spanmore motivation and higher engagement in the lessonschildren are used to 3d with the rise of computer games that use the technology90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3d filmschools would need 3denabled projectors(投影仪)，laptops with good picture capabilities，3d software and glasses for children to introduce animations(动作) into classroomsbut danny nicholson，an educationist，said the technology would be impractical to use inschools and could be costlyhe said，“while i think the idea of 3d technology is very interesting，i worry that 3d is a bit of an expensive gimmick(小玩意儿)there are a few cases where a true3d image might help，but most of the time，good 2d models that can be moved would be just aseffective” in the us，one school district in colorado is already in the process of having 1000 3dprojectors fixed in classrooms. and the university of caledonia. which carries out scientific research into the lake tabon basin, has used 3d presentations with grade six pupilsthose who watched the 3d presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2d version28what is the main idea of the first three paragraphs?athere are slight differences between 3d and 2d imagesbschools have difficulties in making full use of 3d technologycpupils perform better when 3d images are used in classesd3d technology is always more effective than 2d technology29danny nicholson holds the view that 3d_.ais of no help in classes bmay not be affordable for schoolscis more practical than 2d models dhas a bright future in classes30what can we learn from the last paragraph? a3d technology will replace 2d models in the future bmany pupils are now more interested in science than before cteachers will use the 3d technology through specific training d3d will soon be put into use in one school district in colorado31the underlined word “engrossed” in the last paragraph means_.arelaxed bannoyed cabsorbed d. confused（ d ）beijing plans to build huge free or low-cost parking lots（停车场）beyond the fourth and fifth ring roads to encourage more car owners to take buses or subways to the downtown area.the plan is just one of the many measures the city plans to take to reduce its traffic jams. low or no parking fees would be used as economic leverage（杠杆作用）to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.car owners living in the suburbs will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the fourth and fifth ring roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. statistics show that nearly one quarter of the citys traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometre downtown area within the second ring road, which makes up only 12 percent of the citys total area.the beijing traffic management bureau receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 percent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hour every morning and evening. part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.according to the communication commission, half of the citys investment in transportation will go towards public transit（公共交通）construction in the next few years, making a jump from the current only 20 percent. moreover, beijing plans to change its layout by building new city centers, such as at yizhuang, tongzhou, shunyi and changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.the current layout of beijing-expanded ring roads around the same center of the forbidden city, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams. the downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial centre, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.traffic experts say building more urban centers around beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs and traveling long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flow.32. in the coming years, if a man beyond the fourth ring road goes to work in the downtown of beijing, he is encouraged to _.a. take buses or subways b. take a taxic. drive the car quickly d. park his car in a place which asks for no fees33. according to this passage, while more and more people drive to work in rush hours in beijing, it is likely to _.a. save time b. cause traffic jams c. cause traffic accidents d. reduce air pollution34. the aim in building new city centers is to _.a. make it convenient for people to go shopping b. develop its local resourcesc. reduce the traffic flow to the downtown d. solve the problem of more laid-off workers35. the passage suggests the author _.a. is tired of driving to work b. finds it costs less to take subways than to drivec. is for the plan to reduce beijings traffic congestiond. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every day 第二节(共5小题 ,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.britains high streets are dying slowly twenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁华商业区) was
