change their skin colour without suffering like pop king michael jackson? perhaps yes. scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour. the gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of europeans. the other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of africans, researchers at pennsylvania state university report in the latest issue of science.scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebra fish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. as with humans, zebra fish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes (黑色素体). the number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.it appears that, like the golden zebra fish, light-skinned europeans also have a mutation (突变)in the gene for melanosome production. this results in less pigmented skin. however, keith cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebra fish genes.humans acquired dark skin in africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun, which can cause skin cancer. but when modern humans leave africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin d. so the related gene changes, according to cheng. asians have the same version of the gene as africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colours, said cheng. the new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. it also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment done on michael jackson.56. according to the passage, scientists have found .a. people living in northern latitudes need more sunlightb. the reason why people change their skin colourc. the reason why people get skin cancerd. the gene that determines skin colour 57. we can infer from the passage that .a. people like to change their skin colourb. a mutation in the gene for melanosome production is different in human and zebra fish genec. people will be able to change their skin colour without chemical treatment in the futured. skin cancer can be cured now58. which of the following is not mentioned according to the passage?a. the version of the pigment gene of asians and that of africans are the same. b. scientists have succeeded in turning the colour of a dark-striped zebra fish into uniform gold. c. dark skin can protect bodies from utral-violet rays of the sun. d. people like pop king michael jackson.59. the passage is probably taken from _. a. a novel b. a science report c. a story book d. a science fictionbsalvation army angel programangel tree collects gifts for children and

the reduction of pressure. the consequence, if the bubbles (气泡) accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent body thus the name. if the bubbles form in his lungs or brain, the consequence can be death.other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression (减压) sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. and so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs (鱼龙). that these ancient sea-animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. if bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. this kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. fossil(化石)bones that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends. bruce rothschild of the university of kansas knew all this when he began a suty of ichthyosaurs bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past. what he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of decompession over the 150 milllion years. to this end, he and his colleagues traveled the worlds natural-history museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the trassic period and from the later jurassic and cretaceous periods.when he started, he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression. instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite. more than 15% of jurassic and cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before the died, but not a single trassic specimen showed evidence of that sort of injury.if ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti-decompression means, they clearly did so quickly and, most strangly, they lost it afterwards. but that is not what dr rothchild thinks happened. he suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change.whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have sufaced to escape a predator (捕食动物) such as a large shark. one of the features of the jurassia oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles, both of which were fond of ichthyosaurs lunches. trassic oceans, by contrast, were mercifully shark-and crocodile-free. in the trassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain. in the jurrasic and cretaceous, they were prey (猎物) as well as predator and often had to make a speedy exit as a result.64. which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends? a. a twisted body. b. a gradual decrease in blood supply. c. a sudden release of nitrogen in blood.d. a drop in blood presure.65. the purpose of rothchilds study is to see . a. how often ichthyosaurs caught the bends b. how ichthyosaurs adapted to decompression c. why ichthyosaurs bent their bodies d. when ichthyosaurs broke their bones66. rothchilds finding stated in paragrapg 4 . a. confirmed his assumption b. speeded up his research process c. disagreed with his assumption d. changed his research objectives67. rothchild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs . a. failed to evole an anti-decompression means b. grdually developed measures against the bends c. died out because of large sharks and crocodiles d. evoled an anti-decompression means but soon lost
