as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it"s a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost
do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two
killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied,
not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients,
but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the
economy as well. In addition, human life span (寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the
English imperial (皇帝的) family being a good example, have hereditary (遗传的) diseases. This means their
children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors
could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. Scientists just
need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture (生产) human beings in large
quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict
that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for
most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to
control gene technology.
B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.
C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.
D. Hereditary diseases and cancer.
B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C. How gene technology can be used to treat hereditary diseases.
D. Gene technology can solve all the problems of the English imperial family.
B. Using gene technology, scientists find the wrong gene and correct it.
C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
B. Telling people the advantages and disadvantages of gene technology.
C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people.
D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity.

举一反三
Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least,
this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the
meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 2_____. 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.
3_____. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;
and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 4_____. A black bridge over the Thames
River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was
repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even
more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
5_____. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when
their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up - we are born with
our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
G. Colours do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it
Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result
of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like
a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for
young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more
often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.
If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become
dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some
psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely
to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to
their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did." or "You are such a smart child."
B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C. great and important; common
D. hopeful and helpful; careless
B. a strong person; a weak person
C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person
D. a famous person; an ordinary person
B. often thinking about difficult problems
C. often helped by his parents and teachers
D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use
B. to be hard on their children
C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D. to give their children as much help as possible
B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.
to examiners.
A report said there were "a surprising number of small mistakes" in standard (标准) English. It asked
teachers that they should prevent pupils from using "street language and text style", adding, "Most answers
require formal expression of language."
"Many concerns were expressed by examiners about basic errors, often appearing in the work of clearly
able students," the report continued.
It added that the use of street and text language "appeared with surprisingly regularity in the work of
students who clearly desired a higher grade".
"Most answers require formal expression but even when an informal style is appropriate--students should
know the examination context and, in particular, should not use street language and text style." it said.
There is rising concern about pupils" writing skills, especially among boys. National test results for 11-year-
old boys" writing standards had fallen this year. Only 55 percent reached the level expected of an 1l-year-old
by the time they left primary school, the results showed.
Many educationalists are now arguing that teachers should also think of ways of improving writing
standards.
The report said spelling was "in general inconsistent (不一致)" and "variety of vocabulary and of sentence
structure is often limited". It went on, "Punctuation (标点符号) errors continue to be widespread."
However, it added, "Some examiners felt that this year they had met an improvement in the whole structure
of students" writing."

C. Boys" writing skills are worse than those of girls in England.
D. There is no improvement in the whole structure of students" writing.
to tell the number of books that were in their home while they were growing up. Their answers showed that
children raised around books spend more years in school, even if their parents are poor and illiterate (没文化
的).
Mariah Evans said, "What we found was that there is a very big effect of growing up in a bookish home
on children"s success in school. Children who grow up in homes where there are more books go further in
education. And additional (额外的) books are especially important for children who come from families
where the parents aren"t terribly highly educated. The books can be stories, sports, travels and anything. But
there, we"re seeing that the books that have the most effect are history and science."
"It says that there really is a contribution that parents can make to their children"s education. And it doesn"t
mean that you have to turn into somebody like me whose walls are lined with books. "But it really does mean
that if you spend a few minutes most days a week reading to your children, and if they see you reading from
time to time, and if you talk about books with them from time to time, and when somebody asks a question,
say "let"s look it up" instead of discussing it as a matter of opinion-that all those things can actually make quite
a great difference to children in their education."

C. more books are needed by children from poor and illiterate families
D. children with poor parents don"t spend as many years in school
B. sports and education

D. talking about books with their children from time to time
B. the importance of parents
C. the necessity of reading more books
D. the interest of children in books
