What will people die of 100 years from now If you think that is a simple question you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio technology 生物技术 With the help of new medicine the human body will last a very long time Death will come mainly from accidents murder and war Today s leading killers such as heart disease cancer and aging itself will become distant memories In discussion of technological changes the Internet gets most of the attention these days But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times How long can humans live Human brains were known to decide the final death Cells are the basic units of all living things and until recently scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells such as those of brain cells would not last forever But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine Sometime between 2050 and 2100 medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs The medicine made up of the basic building materials of life will build new brain cells heart cells and so on in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future 46 According to the passage human death is now mainly caused by A accidents and war B diseases and aging C accidents and aging D heart disease and war 47 In the author s opinion today s most important advance in technology lies in A the Internet B medicine C brain cells D human organ 48 Humans

will last forever 49 How long can humans live in the future according to the passage A More than 120 years B Over 100 years C About 150 years D The passage doesn t tell us 50 We can learn from the passage that A human life will not last more than 120 years in the future B humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now C we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells D much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life D Unless action is taken immediately there is a good chance that all the oceans of the world will be dead by the year 2010 How can this possibly happen We have already seen that people allow all sorts of waste products to flow into the sea It is almost impossible to measure how much waste water and industrial waste end up in our oceans but we can find out how much oil is poured into them legally and illegally It is illegal to pour oil into the sea close to the shore but when a ship is many miles out to sea there are no such rules Scientists have different ideas as to the amount of oil put into the sea but the lowest figure for oil poured in European waters alone is nearly 200 000 tons every year Some people say the figure could be ten times as high It is not only our coasts that suffer from oil pollution Among other things many shell fish creatures which live in water and have a hard shell oysters and mussels for example now have high amounts of poisonous substances Next time you have shell fish to eat how can you be sure that they are free from oil pollution You cannot see the effects and you cannot taste them either It is really quite a problem 51 This passage is mainly about A pollution in the oceans B oil pollution in the waters C the amounts of poison in shell fish D the amounts of oil in the sea 52 According to the passage what is the main cause of oil pollution A Oil ships which meet and strike each other B Oil poured at sea when the oil tanks are cleaned out C Oil from waste water and

the sea is nearly 2000 000 tons in the globe B Every year the figure for oil poured in the ocean is 1000 000 tons in Europe C Some people think the figure for oil poured is estimated too low D The highest amount of oil put into the oceans reaches 1000 000 tons in globe 55 Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage A The water body of the earth will be dead by the year 2010 without any effective measure B All the Oceans in the world are polluted by oil C It s possible that all the creatures in the sea will die out if no action is taken D Some kinds of the living
