passage.ajune 26, 2000-the human genome(基因组)project, a great $ 3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic 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 policy 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 biotechnologyhave 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 fataldiseases. already, the human genome project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes 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, 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.56why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome?abecause the human genome can destroy many illnesses.bbecause the human genomes completion can help them get rid of many diseases.cbecause they wanted to be better known than others.dbecause the human genome can provide a lot of chances of work.57which country studied the genes most rapidly in the world?ajapan. bgermany. cthe united states. dchina.58which of the following is not true?aif the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.bthe scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers.cmany medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.dthe united states began the genes study early in the 19th century.59the author suggests that the human genome project can cause _.athe policy makers to feel very worried and carefulbthe scientists to work hardercmany people to find work easilyda lot of companies to produce many new drugs60the main idea of this article is about _.aunlocking genetic code bthe genes discoverycthe great human genome dthe genes and the scientistsbwhat should you think about in trying to find your career? you are probably better at some school subjects than others. these may show strengths that you can use in your work. a boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. a girl who spells well and likes english may be good at office work .so it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. on the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. this is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.if you have had a part-time job on saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. if nothing else, you may to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. you may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. you may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. it is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. you should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.61which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?athe importance of doing well at school.busing school performance to help to choose a career.cthe importance of being good at all subjects.dthe indirect value of school work.62the writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably .aa waste of time that could have been spent on studybuseful for his future workca good way to earn extra moneyda good way to find out his weak points 63according to the passage, if a students school record is not good, he _.awill be a complete failure in his future workbwill not be able to find a suitable jobcwill regret not having worked harder at schooldmay do well in his future work 64which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?amathematics. benglish.ctechnical drawing. dhistory. 65the whole passage centers on _.achoosing a career according to what one is skilled inbacquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolcfinding ones strong and weak pointsddeveloping ones abilities useful in school work cthis morning, a virgin atlantic 747 jumbo jet became the first commercial airplane to fly on biofuel. the short flight from london to amsterdam used a blend of 20% babassu（棕榈）oil mixed with 80% conventional jet fuel.what was really exciting about the flight was the fact that the engine did not have to be altered in any way for the biofuel to work. while this is a great initial step in trying to reduce co2(carbon-dioxide) emissions（排放）from airplanes, there are a lot of hurdles（障碍）that still need to be overcome.first and foremost, unlike the normal fuel used to run airplanes（known as jet a）, biofuel freezes at high altitudes. also, jet a fuel burns consistently (at the same pace), which means it provides a sale and reliable fuel for long flights engineers are not sure if biofuel will be able to do the same.the biggest hurdle to a full biofuel switch is our ability to be able to grow enough crops that can be converted to biofuel. there are two concerns that scientists have in this matter the first is that the land to grow the extra crops, will come from clearing more of our forests and the second that since it competes with what we eat, the price of food will go up.however, richard branson of virgin airlines, envisions that if biofuel starts to replace oil on a greater basis, it will be manufactured from algae（藻类）produced in sewage treatment plants, not from food sources.birgin airlines is not the only one trying to look for alternative fuel sources. earlier this years, an airbus a380 used another alternative fuel-a man-made mix of gas-to-liquid, in one of its four engines. the flight was tested by rolls royce (manufacturer of jet engines), in partnership with shell (an oil company). rolls royce is also working with air new zealand on a similar project.while a complete switch to alternative fucl may take years, it is very encouraging to see airlines, oil companies and airplane manufacturers all coming together to try to make it happen!66why does virgin airlines try to replace normal fuel with biofuel?ato cut down the flight cost of the company.bto remove some hurdles for the biofuel to work.cto reduce co2emissions from airplanes.dto test plane engines on biofuel.67which is not true for a full biofuel switch of airplanes?abiofuel cannot run for long flights.bbiofuel cannot work at high altitudes.cman has not enough land to grow extra crops for biofuel.dits not easy for sewage treatment plants to manufacture biofuel.68one of the hurdles to be overcome for a full biofuel switch is to .aalter the engine for airplanesbmake biofuel burn consistentlycopen more land to grow more cropsddevelop sewage treatment plants69we can infer from the last paragraph that .athere is a long way to go for a complete switch to alternative fuelbit wont be long before alternative fuel comes into usecairlines, oil companies and airplane manufacturers are reliabledalternative fuel has a bright future70which of the following can best serves as the title of this passage?abiofuel-alternative fuel sources.bthe first commercial flight powered by biofuel.chow to reducing co2 emissions from airplanes.dvigin airlines trying to alter fuel sources.part iv writing (45 marks)section a (10 marks)directions: read the following passage. fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.write no more than three words for each answer.healthy eating, about which there are a lot of fallacies, is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. rather, its about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible-all of which are regarded as valid arguments and are considered to be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you.healthy eating begins with learning how to “eat smart” its not just what you eat, but how you eat. your food choices can reduce your risk of illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, as well as defend against depression. however, learning the habits of healthy eating can increase your energy, sharpen your memory and stabilize your mood. you can expand your range of healthy food choices and learn how to plan ahead to create and maintain a satisfying, healthy diet.eat with others whenever possible. eating with other people has a lot of social and emotional benefits-particularly for children-and allow you to model better healthy eating habits from others. eating in front of the tv or computer often leads to mindless overeating.take time to chew our food and enjoy mealtimes. chew your food slowly, savoring every bite. we tend to rush through our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the texture（口感）of what is in our mouths.eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals, throughout the day. a healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism（新陈代谢）, and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day (rather than the standard three large meals) keeps your metabolism going and our energy up.section b (10 marks)directions: read the following passage. answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.the problem with most surveys about whether people will pay for online content is that theyre conducted on the internet-and respondents h
