each of the questions following the passage Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage Every newborn baby is dealt a genetic hand of cards which helps to determine how long he or she will be allowed to play the game of life There are good cards which predispose 偏爱 倾向于 those who have them to a long and healthy existence and there are bad cards which predispose people to high blood pressure say or heart disease Occasionally cards are dealt out that doom their holders to an early death In the past people never knew exactly which cards in other words which genes they had been dealt They could guess at the future only by looking at the kind of health problems experienced by their parents or grandparents Genetic testing which makes it possible to probe for dangerous genes has changed all this But until recently if you tested positive for a bad gene you were not obliged to reveal this to anyone else except in a few extreme circumstances This month however Britain became the first country in the world to allow life insurers to ask for test results So far approval has been given only for a test for a fatal brain disorder known as Huntington s disease But ten other tests for seven diseases are already in use and are awaiting similar approval The independent body that gives approval the Department of Health s genetics and insurance 保险 committee does not have to decide whether the use of genetic information in insurance is ethical 合 乎伦理的 It must judge only whether the tests are believable to insurers In the case of Huntington s disease the answer is clear cut People unlucky enough to have this gene will die early and cost life 2 insurers dearly This is only the start Clear cut genetic answers where a gene is simply and directly related to a person s risk of death are uncommon More usually a group of genes is associated with the risk of developing a common disease dependent on the presence of other genetic or environmental factors But as tests improve it will become possible to predict whether or not a particular individual is at risk In the next few years researchers will discover more and more about the functions of individual genes and what health risks or benefits are associated with them 21 What does the word cards line 1 refer to A Genes B Diseases C Problems D Games 22 What is the function of genetic testing according to this passage A It helps people know what health problems their parents ever experienced B It enables people to change those dangerous genes to better ones C It reveals possible genetic diseases people may have D It calls on the public to help people who have bad genes 23 What benefit can insurance companies get from the use of genetic information A They can help to save the lives of those who have bad genes B They can save a lot of money C They can gain trust from their customers D They can clear the misunderstanding of their customers 24 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage A It is impossible to get clear cut genetic answers at present B Environmental factors are more important than genes C Genetic factors may contribute to some common diseases D It is common that some genes are directly related to a person s risk of death 25 What is the author s purpose of writing the passage A To show the way genetic testing works B To indicate the relation between genes and Huntington s disease C To reveal the influence of environmental factors on genes D To introduce genetic testing and its function Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage Moving from first generation analog 模拟 mobile phones to second generation phones in 1991 represented a clear break with the past The digital standard enabled users to roam nationally and internationally There are fewer obvious differences between second and third generation phones at least until the companies reveal what kind of additional services they intend to offer It is clear already though that by adding the Internet to voice capabilities the new system will expand the use of the telephone in all kinds of ways There is reflection on possibilities such as mobile commerce or gaming or adding vision to voice calls But no one knows what is likely to be the killer application that makes the next generation telephones irresistible Such developments are not usually planned For example when GSM Global System for Mobile Communications standards were introduced no one seems to have predicted the enormous popularity of short text messaging which now provides operators with a large amount of their income In Europe an estimated 30 billion text messages are exchanged every month at an average cost of 10 cents each while consuming only a small part of the radio bandwidth 3 In contrast to the distinct break between analog and digital systems second and third generation phones will probably exist side by side for several years and customers will not always know which network they are using Most telephone companies that have 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications System licenses already have GSM licenses Although 3G will enable the operators to develop various new services their main interest in acquiring the expensive licenses was to obtain a bigger slice of the radio spectrum 无线电波频谱 Next generation networks will have many times the capacity of their GSM counterparts 26 What is the difference between the 2nd and the 3rd generation phones A Whether they adopt the digital technology B Whether their services cover the whole country C Whether their services cover the whole world D Whether they add the Internet to voice capabilities 27 In the passage the killer application refers to the function that A will get people to buy the next generation phones B enables users to roam nationally and internationally C allows users to send short text messages D conforms to GSM standards 28 Which of the following statements is true about short text messaging A It can provide customers with a large sum of income B Almost 30 billion text messages are exchanged every year in Europe C The enormous popularity of short text messaging is quite unexpected D It is predicted that short text messaging will be very popular 29 Why do the operators spend a large amount of money on licenses A They try to obtain the right of developing new services B They intend to confirm to their customers that they use a better network C They want to increase the capacity of mobile phones D They attempt to exist side by side with their counterparts 30 What is the purpose of writing the passage A To persuade customers to buy mobile phones B To introduce the revolution in mobile phones C To convince customers of the superiority of the 3rd generation mobile phones D To reveal the results of experiments on mobile phones Questions 31 35 are based on the information about books given below Answer each of the questions by choosing the right book s marked A D You may choose some of the books more than once Which book s compares policies of different countries 31 indicates women s contribution to the development of industry 32 discusses the difficulties women have in the economic adjustment 33 explores the industrialization in a certain area 34 provides ways to fight against poverty 35 A Women in West Germany German women have played a major and hitherto neglected part in postwar economic and social reconstruction These changes in the socio economic positions of women were indicators for even 4 more significant shifts in values and gender relations in the Federal Republic The author examines these developments as they relate to women s position in the labor market since 1945 their vocational and professional training and their changing roles within the family and within politics B Women Recession and Adjustment in the Third World The Third World debt crisis and the international Monetary Fund and World Bank s adjustment policies have compelled many countries to move toward a contraction of public sector expenditure and market oriented development policies Women in general and the poorest among them in particular have borne a disproportionate burden of the ensuing hardships This book addresses the shortcomings in the current gender blind analytical frameworks of government and international financial organizations and shows the negative implications that these have on the lives of women The author in this volume offers alternative strategies for combating recession and poverty C Welfare and State This volume broadens and updates the classic debates on welfare poverty inequity and the nature of the capitalist state in light of the current swing to the political right It focuses on the widest range of social and economic policies those affecting the wealthy as well as the poor The book also directs attention to gender and the interests of people of color She brings together data from a range of capitalist countries including the United States the U K Australia Sweden and Japan and explores the similarities and differences of their policies D Sweaters In recent years regions of rural Mexico have specialized in small scale industry much of which rests on women s labor Hidden in people s houses or backstreet workshops the scale and nature of the industrialization process is difficult to fathom This book explores the histories actions and opinions of people from one small centre during an earlier phase of violence and poverty and in later years when workshops have flourished Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage Tawnya Geisbush wakes up every day fighting two battles one against breast cancer the other against her insurance company It s hard to say which is the more stubborn opponent Geisbush 32 a veterinarian 兽医 from Phoenix Arizona was recently found to be suffering from metastatic 转移的 breast cancer Eventually she and her doctors agreed they should attack the advancing cancer with what many people believe is the most effective weapon available high dose chemotherapy accompanied by a transplant of stem cells No sooner did she steel herself for the procedure however than her insurer the Trustmark Insurance Cooperation made things more complicated Since the 90 000 treatment was still considered experimental qualification for coverage was not legally allowed under the terms of Trustmark s policy Whether it s a 100 000 charge or a 10 charge we make our decisions based on that contract language says Lloyd Sarrel Trustmark s assistant vice president for benefits Geisbush understandably has bigger things than contracts on her mind I m in a fight for my life she says I shouldn t be having this fight with the insurance company Geisbush is not alone In the past decade more than 12 000 American women have taken their chances with transplant therapy in many cases only after battling their insurers to make sure the bills got paid Lately public opinion plus a few multimillion dollar lawsuits had begun to change that Ten states require insurers to cover transplants most health plans elsewhere in the U S seeing which way the legislative wind was blowing have decided to go along too Patients know however that a company that makes up its mind to offer coverage can later change it and that laws requiring loss or damage compensation can always be rewritten 5 That s why cancer advocates and the insurance industry were so anxiously awaiting last week s release of the most definitive studies yet undertaken to evaluate the treatment The news on its face was not good Transplant therapy the studies suggest may not improve survival odds any more than traditional therapy The findings however are preliminary and further study may overturn them altogether So far all that is certain is that an already heated debate will get hotter still and that patients who want the therapy are not giving up hope With this treatment says Geisbush at least some people have survived 36 Trustmark Insurance Cooperation refuses to pay the bill for transplant therapy because the treatment A costs too much money B is still considered experimental C has proved to be ineffective D is still illegal 37 From what Geisbush says we can infer that A she feels sympathetic to Lloyd Sarrel B she will refuse to sign any contract with the insurance company C the most important thing for her is to fight against her disease D it is meaningless to fight with the insurance company 38 According to the passage most health plans in the U S have decided to A offer coverage of transplant therapy B offer coverage first and then change it later C sue those women who took their chances with transplant therapy D force the government to rewrite laws requiring insurers to cover transplants 39 The evaluation studies suggest that transplant therapy A has harmful side effects B is no more effective than traditional therapy C is the most effective weapon to attack cancer D greatly improves the chance of survival 40 According to the passage it is certain that A the findings of the studies will be overturned altogether B more patients will be treated with transplant therapy C patients who want the therapy won t change their mind E the public will become less interested in transplant therapy PART III VOCABULARY STRUCTURE 20 points 41 He was upon the
