Scientists use it to answer difficult questions and discover new things, while students use it for the same reasons and to build their own(31)in science.It is a way to observe the world, ask questions, and do experiments. It is very useful across a(32)of scientific disciplines: biology, chemistry, physics, and so on. These scientists must(33)the process in their research if they want to prove their findings as facts.First, you must ask a question. What do you want to know? What hasnt been studied and could benefit from more scientific(34)? Once you know your question, do some background research and construct a hypothesis. Does your question(35)with any pre-existing research that you can also use? You dont want to perform work that is(36)with research that has already been tested.Once you have your hypothesis, you should test your idea through experimentation. This is the stage where you want to confirm or(37)your hypothesis. You may(38), but dont worry; all the best scientists made mistakes. Just learn from them and construct better experiments. Also, dont just do one experiment. Youll need to repeat several different experiments to see if you can(39)the result. If you can, then you know that this result will always occur.Finally, youre ready to draw a conclusion based on your research and communicate your results to others.

The Human Genome Project officially got underway in 1990, and the United States was soon joined by several other countries (including the United Kingdom, China, France, and Japan) in this endeavor.In 2003, after 13 years of work and research, the Human Genome Project was finally completed. The project began as an effort to discover and categorize all 20,000-25,000 human genes and make them accessible for further biological study. The project also set out to determine the complete sequence of 3 billion DNA subunits. The ultimate objective was to understand the genetic makeup of the human species. This information would prove vital in not only understanding ourselves, but it would also help doctors and scientists better understand the diseases, mutations, and illnesses that affect people.In addition to identifying all human genes and determining a complete DNA sequence, another project goal was the storage of all information in massive databases. Today, the complete sequence of human DNA has been made available to the general public on the Internet. It is important to note, however, that everyone has a unique gene sequence. Therefore, the Human Genome Project data does not represent the exact sequence of each and every persons genome. Rather, it is the combined genome of a small number of anonymous donors.Interpretation of this massive amount of data is still in its infancy. Most researchers expect that analysis of this data will result in remarkable and unexpected developments in various medical and scientific fields. The benefits of this continued study cannot be overestimated. The Human Genome Project was one of the single largest scientific accomplishments in history, and analysis of the projects results will likely contribute to its significance.41.According to the passage, what happened in 1990?A. The U S government first conceived of the Human Genome Project.B. The Human Genome Project began.C. The Human Genome Project was completed.D. Interpretation of the Human Genome Project began.42.The Human Genome Project sought to _ genetic information and make it available to everyone.A
