答案：B细节理解题。短文首段说《太阳报》专设一条“悲痛救助热线”,不少贝克汉姆的球迷打来电话。C、D项中的事件并未发生,只是打电话者声称的想法。42．Accordingtotheauthor，Beckham________.A．changedthesizeandshapeofsoccerB．changedtherulesofsoccerC．usedhisfacetobecomefamousD．getsasalaryof＄65millionayear答案：C推理判断题。第二段说“hisphotogenicfacechangedthegame”，即贝克汉姆是因为长得酷才使人着迷。D项计算有误，年薪8million,广告收入17million,还有40million是转会所得，并非年薪。A和B项都错在对文中“changedthefaceofsoccer”和“changedthegame"的理解，其实贝克汉姆对足球的改变在于使足球被许多人着迷。43．Wecaninferfromthetextthat________。A．EastEndusedtobeoneofthepoorestareasinLondonB．theSunisatelephonecompanyinEnglandC．BeckhamhasgotacertainkindofdiseaseD．Beckham'smovetoRealMadridremindedpeopleofthedeathofDiana答案：A综合推理题。作者提到贝克汉姆是工人阶级的英雄，来自伦敦东区，言下之意在说贝克汉姆今非昔比，所以判断A为正确答案。B项中的“theSun”是英国的报纸《太阳报》。C项是对短文中“soccervirus”的误解,作者把贝克汉姆比作“足球病毒”，意在形容他对足球的影响之大。CNotlongago,makingababyboyorababygirlwasprettymuchahit.or。missaffair,butnotanymorenow.Parentswhohaveaccesstothegenetictestingtechniques（基因检测技术)cannowpredeterminetheirbaby’ssexwithgreataccuracy,asMoniqueandScottCollinslearnedtotheirdelighttwoyearsago，whentheirlong。wished。fordaughterJessicawasbornaftergeneticpre­screeningatafertilityclinicinFairfax,Virginia。AndbabyJessicaisjustthebeginning.Withinadecadeortwo，itmaybepossibletoscreenkidsalmostbeforepregnancy(怀孕），suchashowtalltheyarelikelytobe,whatbodytypetheywillhave，theirhairandeyecolor，andeventheirIQandpersonalitytype。Infact,ifgenetherapylivesuptoitspromise，parentsmaysomedaybeabletogobeyondweedingoutundesirabletrailsandstartactuallyinsertingthegenestheywant，perhapsevengenesthathavebeencraftedinalab.Parentsmaybegoingtofertilityclinicsandpickingfromalistofchoicesthewaycarbuyersorderairconditioningorwheels。“It'stheultimateshoppingexperience：designingyourbody，"saysbiotechnologycriticJeremyRifkin,whoisconcernedabouttheprospect（前景）．“Inasocietythatisusedtocosmeticsurgery（整形手术），thisisnotabigstep。”Theprospectofdesigningbabies，likemanyoftheethical(伦理的)problemscausedbythegeneticrevolution,iscausingthedoctors，ethicists,religiousleadersandpoliticiansofthewholeworldtostartafierceconflict,whoaretryingtodecidehowtheyfeelaboutitall。Theystillhaveabitoftime.Apartfromgender,theonlytrailsthatcannowbeidentifiedattheearlieststagesofdevelopmentareaboutadozenofthemostseriousgeneticdiseases.Genetherapyinembryos(胚胎）isatleastafewyearsaway。Andthegeneorcombinationofgenesresponsibleformostofourphysicalandmentalattributeshasn’tevenbeenidentifiedyet，sotheideaofengineeringgenesinoroutisofnopracticalmeaning。44．Whatisgenetherapysupposedtodoifitlivesuptoitspromise?A．Screenababyforsex.B．Chooseababy'seyecolor。C．Insertgenes.D．Identifygeneticdisorder。答案：C细节理解题。本文探讨了一种新的基因探测方法，通过基因判定儿童性别,甚至可以根据父母要求定制婴儿。根据文章第三段第一句话：“如果基因疗法可以实现的话，父母们就可以在将来的某一天淘汰那些他们不想要的特性并且移入他们想要的基因……”从中可以知道，为了使基因疗法满足人们的期望，人们可以通过植入基因的方法达到目的.45．Accordingtothepassage,whatscientistscandowiththegenetictestingtechnologynowisto________.A．screenababy'ssexB．screenbabiesfordesirablequalitiesC．insertgenesparentswantD．craftgenesinalab答案：A细节理解题。首先要读懂题干，题干问的是：目前科学利用基因检测方法所能做到的事情是什么?那么目前只能做到预先探知婴儿的性别。其他选项所说的都只是对未来前景的描述.46．WhatcanbestdescribeJeremyRifkin'sattitudetowarddesigningbabiesthroughgenetherapy？A．Stronglysupportive.B．Warmlywelcome.C．Uninterested.D．Critical.答案：D观点态度题。根据引用JeremyRifkin说的话“在一个充斥整形手术的社会里，生育发展到这一步倒也不算什么”。话语间表现出反对与不满,所以D项正确-—“批判的”.47．Fromthepassageweknowthat________。A．designingbabiesispurelyscientificnottocauseethicalproblemsB．designingbabiesmaybringpeoplealotofethicalconcernsC．scientistsarenowworkingagainsttimetodesignbabiesD．peopleareconcernedabouttheharmdonetosciencebydesigningbabies答案:B推理判断题。根据文章最后两段我们可以发现,定制婴儿会产生伦理、种族等问题。所以B选项是正确答案。选项A所陈述的内容与文章内容完全相反。选项C所说的“科学家正在加班加点地定制婴儿"纯属无稽之谈。D项“人们担心定做婴儿会危害科学”，文中并未提到.DInternationalStudies（BA)Keyfeatures●Recognizesthe“globalcommunity”(国际社会)●Hascloseconnectionswithpracticalresearch●MuchoftheteachingisdoneinsmalldiscussiongroupsAboutthecourseThecoursegivesyouchancestoknowgreatpowerpolitiesbetweennationStates.ItwillprovidemorespacetostudyparticularissuessuchasrelationshipamongcountriesintheEuropeanUnion，thirdworlddebt,localandinternationaldisagreement,andtheworkofsuchinternationalbodiesastheUnitedNations，theEuropeanUnion，NATO，andtheWorldBank。Thecourseputstheoriesintotheworkingoftheinternationalsystemwithcloseattentiontoparticularcountries.Youwillalsohaveabetterknowledgeofmethodsofsolvingtheinternationalproblems.Related(相关的)coursesBA（Hons）CommunityManagementBA（Hons)PublicPolicyandManagementEmploymentpossibilitiesInternationalorganizationsInternationalbusinessEarthScience(BSc)Keyfeatures●Basedonkeycoursesandthelatestresearchfindings●Paysmuchattentiontopracticalskills●Offerschancesforfieldwork（实地考察)AboutthecourseThedemandfornaturalresourcesisbecominganincreasinglyseriousproblemforthefutureofmankind。GraduatesinEarthSciencewillplayanimportantroleinmeetingthisdemand，andinknowingthemeaningofusingthenaturalresources.Thecoursecoversgeographyandgeology。YouwillcarryoutfieldworkintheUKandpossiblyoverseas，andaresearchinanareaofinteresttoyouinthefinalyear。RelatedcoursesBSc(Hons)GeographyBSc(Hons)GeologyEmploymentpossibilitiesMineral,oil,waterorotherr
