Gene technology to benefit people
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is 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 family being a good example, have hereditary 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. The scientist 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 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 a very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
45. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to?
A. gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B. The two murderers who killed
the cloned baby
C. The two diseases of
cancer and heart disease
D. Hereditary diseases and
cancer
46.What's the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. How gene technology can be
applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B. Gene technology can be
used to clone human babies.
C. Gene technology can help
people to give birth to a baby.
D. Gene technology can help
the English imperial family out
47.In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?
A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene
technology.
48. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A. Expressing the writer's
idea that gene technology will benefit people
B. Telling people the
advantages 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

Mouse potatoes joined couch potatoes, google officially became a verb and drama queens finally found the limelight when they crossed over from popular culture to mainstream English language.
The mouse potato (who spends as much time on the computer as his/her 1990s counterpart did on the couch), the himbo (attractive, vacuous -- and male) and the excessively emotional drama queen were among 100 new words added to the 2006 update of America's best-selling dictionary, the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary. The Internet search engine Google also found its way into the dictionary for the first time as a verb, meaning to find information quickly on the world wide web.
New words and phrases from the fields of science, technology, pop culture and industry are chosen each year by Merriam-Webster's team of editors after months of poring over books, magazines and even food labels. "They are not tracking verbal language. They are looking for evidence that words have become assimilated into the written English language," said Arthur Bicknell, senior editor of Merriam-Webster.
Other words making their debut this year were soul patch (a small growth of beard under a man's lower lip), unibrow (two eyebrows joining together) and supersize -- the fast food industry phrase for extra large meals.
The technology world contributed ringtones (changeable incoming cellphone call signals) and spyware (software installed in a computer to surreptiously track a user's activities) while biodiesel and avian influenza came from the world of science.
America's first dictionary -- Noah Webster's A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language -- was published 200 years ago and also introduced a crop of fresh words that have now become familiar. Those "new" words in 1806 included slang, surf, psychology and, naturally, Americanize.
49. The mouse potato in the beginning of the text refers to_______.
A. a mouse that lives by potatoes
B. a mouse that is shown on the screen of the computer.
C. a person who spends much time on the computer
D. a person who likes to eat mice and potatoes
50. Which group of the words and phrases is NOT the fresh words for the dictionary of this year?
A. Himbo, soul patch, unibrow, supersize. B. Mouse potatoes. Google, drama queen.
C. Ringtones, spareware, biodiesel, avian influenze.
D. Couch potatoes, surf, psychology, Americanize
51. Which of the following statesments is NOT TRUE according to the text?
A. New words and phrases introduced into the dictionary have close relationship with the time.
B. Some words that are now familiar to us used to be fresh words collected in the dictionary.
C. New words and phrases chosen by the editors of the dictionary have been used in written English somewhere.
D. The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary becomes the best-seller because 100 new words are added to it.
52. The text is mainly about that ______.
A. 100 fresh words are added to the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary
B. English language is becoming more and more difficult to learn
C. English words change their meaning with the time passing by
D. The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary will leave out some old words and
introduce some new ones

The incident took place on Sunday，the 25th of June．On that particular day，a south wind had been gusting(劲吹) on and off all morning．It was not strong enough to cause us any concern，so we carried on our daily work not suspecting what was about to happen．
The storm gives very little warning．Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon(地平线) so suddenly that we were taken by surprise．Even then，we were not really worried，as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains．Then，just as the clouds had moved inland，the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm．
Instantly，we were busily preparing for the worst． The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops．There was very little we could do about the corps.But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again．My older brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above river．If the river flooded，they should be safe there．
In the meantime，my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service．If the tin flew off，it could damage the house．My younger brother began hurriedly carrying firewood under the shelter．My job was to help Mum board up the windows．If the storm developed into a cyclone(旋风)，the boards would protect the glass.
The storm raged for four hours，pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As expected，the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock．
Then，just as we were beginning to lose hope，the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun．The animals were safe，and the roof was still nailed on．“All’s well that ends well,” said my mother.

key：这是一篇记述文。讲述的是在一场暴风雨来临的前后，我们全家的忙碌过程。
57．A. 文章第二段的第二句“Black clouds loomed …… we were taken by surprise.”可知。
58．C. 文章第三段的第二句 “The whole family …… the damage it had caused to stock and crops.” 可知。
59．D. 文章第三段的第二，三，四句The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops．There was very little we could do about tbe corps. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again．”可知：我们仍然记得以前的暴风雨对我们的stock 和 crops所造成的损失。对于crops 我们是没办法的，但是我们可以保护animals。因此可以推出这里的stock指的就是animals。
60. D. 这道题可用排除法。据文章倒数第二段“The storm raged……towards the house and the stock.”可知：暴风雨持续了四个小时，正如我们所预料的那样，河梯被冲跨了，河水慢慢地逼向我们的房子和家禽，因此A和B是错的。答案C说一切都得到控制。事实上文章第三段第三句”There was very little we could do about tbe corps.”说对于庄稼我们是没有办法采取措施的，接下来的文章主要讲如何保护家禽和房子，所以C中的everything不对。最后一段讲正当我们绝望的时候，暴风雨突然停了，这时妈妈才说了这句话，应该是表万幸之类的话。
