The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth, her elder and only surviving daughter, at her bedside. For a woman who was one of the best-known figures in Britain for more than 80 years from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and cigarette cards to the age of the Inter, the Queen Mother remained an enigmatic( * 的) and elusive(躲避的) figure. She achieved such a respect through aeons(永世, 亿万年) of, first, fawning and, later, intrusive media fascination, by remaining almost entirely silent. Her private thoughts were never paraded(炫耀) in public. What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at winning the admiration of press photographers, whom she always favoured with a particular smile. CHINAs third unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou , landed safely in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Monday afternoon, after orbiting the earth 108 times in slightly less than a week. The craft, which lifted off from Jiuquan in Gansu Province last Monday night, landed after suessfully conducting a chain of flight and scientific experiments over a period of 162 hours. A powerful earthquake jolted Taiwan, killing five construction workers, authorities(官方) said. Over 200 injuries ware reported across the island, mostly minor, as a result of Sundays 7.5-magnitude quake. The quake was centred off Hualien, 180 kilometres east of Taipei. It struck at 2:53 pm and lasted for nearly a minute. 1. Which of the following statements is true aording to the news? A. The Queen Mother died on Easter Monday alone. B. The Queen Mother was an attractive person in her political life. C. The British people felt sorry for the death of the Queen Mother. D. The Queen Mother was suffering a lot when she was dying. 答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第二段首句 “She achieved such a respect through aeons of,?”可推断，皇太后赢得了永世的尊重，人们对她的去世会感到遗憾。故C选项正确。 由第一段第二句话 “The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth, her elder and only surviving daughter, at her bedside.” 可知，皇太后在安睡中去世，当时女儿伊丽莎白女王陪在她的床边，故A、D选项错误。由第二段后面的内容 “Her private thoughts were never paraded in public. What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at winning the admiration of press photographers, whom she always favoured with a particular smile.”可知，她的个人思想从未在公众面前炫耀过，公众看到的总是面带微笑的她在媒体照片 中出现，故可推断，她并未从政，故B选项错误。 2. It can be inferred that _. A. the craft landed in central Inner Mongolia unexpectedly B. it took the craft at least 2 hours to orbit the earth once C. the Chinese scientists did a lot of experiments in space D. China was suessful in sending an unmanned spacecraft into space 答案解析：答案为D。本题为推断题。由第三段的第一句话 “CHINAs third unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou , landed safely in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Monday afternoon, ?” 可知，无人飞船已经安全着陆，故D选项正确，A选项错误。B选项未提及;由首句的关键词 “unmanned”可推断，无人宇宙飞船上面不会有科学家在太空中做实验，故C选项错误。 3. The third news mainly talks about the _ in Taiwan. A. political matters B. social problems C. unexpected damage D. construction workers 答案解析：答案为C。第三则新闻报道台湾发生了地震，属于没有预料到的灾害，故C选项正确。 B June 26, 2000 the Human Genome(基因组) Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the geic(遗传的) map of humans, is now more than 90 percent pleted. The scientific and medical munities(团体) are very excited about the chances geic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长) human life. But those munities and policy(政策) 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 geic advances in the developing field of biotechnology(生物技术) have provides material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human geic code(密码) 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 geic research is in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal(致命的)diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has bee widely known and praised for finding the genes(基因) 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(传染), and geic diseases. Medical panies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses. 1. Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome? A. Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses. B. Because the human genomes pletion can help them get rid of many diseases. C. Because they wanted to be better known than others. D. Because the human genome can provide a lot of chances of work. 答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。由第一段第二句话 “the chances geic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life.” 和最后一段首句 “Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and geic diseases.” 可知，科学家绘制人类基因组图是为了驱除疾病，故答案为B。A选项表述不正确;C、D在文中均未提到。 2. Which country studied the genes most rapidly in the world? A. Japan. B. Germany. C. The United States. D. China. 答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节题。由第三段首句提到的 “?the leading organization for geic research is in the United States, ?”可知，答案为C。 3. Which of the following is NOT true? A. If the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses. B. The scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers. C. Many medical panies show great interest in drawing the human genome map. D. The United States began the Genes Study early in the 19th century. 答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节判断题。由第三段首句提到的 “which began in 1990” 可知，美国是在20 世纪末开始绘制人类基因组图的，故D选项表达错误。 由最后一段首句 “Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and geic diseases.”可知，A选项与文意符合;由第三段最后一句 “?and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.” 可知，B选项与文意符合;由最后一段最后一句话 “Medical panies are very interested in mapping the human genome, ?”可知，C选项与文意符合，均不选。 4.
