The technique stops the AIDS virusfromattacking its ta

2、rget-cells in the bodys defensesystem. When AIDSvirus enters the blood,it searches forblood cells called T4 lymphocytes（淋巴细胞） . The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes,then forces its wayinside. There it directs the cells genetic （基因的）material to produce copies of the AIDS virus.This is

3、how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading bypreventing virus fromconnecting to T4 cells. When AIDSvirus finds aT4 cell,it actuallyconnects to a part ofthe cell called CD4 protein.Researchers want to foolthe virusby puttingcopies or clones of the CD4 protein into

4、 the blood. This way the AIDS virus will connect to the cloned protein instead of the real ones. Scientists use the genetic engineering methods to make the clones. Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times. The AIDS virus must go toit.In a new technique, however, the cloned CD4 prot

5、ein is not connected to a cell. It floats freely, so many more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 proteins onT4 cells. One report says the AIDS virus connects to the cloned proteins j ust as effectively as to real protein. That report was based on tests with blood ce

6、lls grown in labs. The technique is just now beginning t o be tested in animals. If successful, it may be tested in humans within a year.1.

10、in.Passage TWOQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.During the early ears of last century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada.When the crops were good, the economy was good; when the crops failed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and

11、the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they wee growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation. War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative（投机的） grain selling as carried o

12、n through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve.It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts werecoming due( 到期 )， only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich

13、. On various occasions, producer groups asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, atleast not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious to check( 控制 ) inflation( 通货膨胀 ) and rising living costs, the federal government appointed a board( 董事会 ) of grains

14、upervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended (暂停 ) and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919, thegovernment appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board, with full authority to buy, sell, and setprices.6. The author

18、a board of supervisorsC. several producer groupsD. a new governmentPassage ThreeQuestions 10 to 15 are based on the following passage.Yellowstone Park is visited by two million people every summer and is the oldest, largest and most visited wilderness in the world. All are welcome and are invited on

19、 arrival to leave their cars and explore on foot. Yellowstone, a national park for ever 100 years, lies in the State of Wyoming, to the east of the Rocky Mountain. It is also in the center of the North American continent, midway between the equator and the North Pole, at a height of over 2300 meters

20、. The very cold winter in this area closes the park around mid-November and lasts until April or even May. In February thetemperature falls as low as 60F degree below freezing, and the animals that spend winter in the park are best able to live in the conditions such as bison, wapiti, beavers and ot

21、ters. Fortunately, the area around the hot springs and geysers becomes a centrally heated oasis(绿洲 ) in the desert ofsnow, providing warmth and a certain mount of food for the animals. Bison used to go around the plains in their millions until they were hunted almost to extinction( 灭绝 ) by white men

22、 with guns. In 1900 only two dozen of them remained in the park. However, since they become a protectedanimal, their numbers have risen to over two thousand. The end of winter is the most dangerous time for the animals as food becomes even less and they take great risks( 冒险 ) to find it, such aswalk

23、ing across thin ice. This period is known as“ winterkillweak”,whenand themanyoldof thedie, often from being too tired out, thus providing food for scavengers such as the coyote (a kindof wolf). With the arrivalof summer, plants reappear and the animals fillthemselves with richfood. The young grow st

27、chaspossiblePassage FourQuestions 15 to 20 are based on the following passage.What is your favoritecolor? Do you likeyellow,orange, red? If you do, you must be anoptimist( 乐观者 ), a leader, an active person who enjoy life, people and excitement. Do you prefergrays and blues? Then you are probably qui

28、et, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If youlove green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologist( 心理学家 ) tell us and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning o

29、f color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don t choose our favourite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful a

30、nd more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing( 压抑 ). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accid

31、ents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things.
