有关人士认为。“人类基因组草图”的测绘成功仅仅预示着一个新的开端，真正的研究工作还只刚刚起步。例如，“草图”中留下了许多空白需要填补，不少可能包含着重要的医学信息的空白又顽固地拒绝“泄露自己的秘密”。除了最先完成的22号染色体长臂中有3%被证明无法解读外，从那时以来完成的4号染色体也留有很多空白。此外，大约有10%的基因组由于其重复性而根本不可能测序。

据国外某些杂志报道，即使到2003年“人类基因组计划”完成了终图，漏洞依然会存在——某些基因将被忽略不计。而蛋白质作为生命分子三联体的最后一位“成员”，又是迄今为止最难攻克的堡垒。全人类只有一个共同的基因组，但是由于各种内外因素的作用，世界上每个人都有差别，这种差别被称为单核苷酸多态性。目前，生物学家已利用单个DNA中的变体来跟踪人体基因的变异，并借此评估人类各种生物学现象的奥秘。如健康状况、对疾病的易感性、寿命长短、人类的起源等。

人类大部分的DNA都是“垃圾”，几乎不起什么作用或至少是没有明显的用途。剩下的则是渊源于植物、动物甚至细菌这一最原始生命形式的基因的“大杂烩”。事实上．大量在维系细胞的基本功能，如修补和解读DNA方面所需的基因，与促使细菌保持原样的基因没什么两样。

我们在回溯生物进化史的过程中又会发现，人们曾与植物、动物以及软体虫和有翅昆虫共同分享无数的基因。例如一种古怪的被称为“声波刺猬”的基因．它对昆虫在成熟中翅膀生长和发育起着重要的作用。这一相同的基因，在人的胚胎中则起着协调手臂生长和发育的作用。所以，人类基因与某些哺乳动物更为接近也就（　　）了。例如鼠的基因与人极为相似，它的基因组一致被描述为探明人类基因组的“罗塞塔石碑”(即为解读古埃及象形文字提供线索的石碑)。

此外，猩猩的DNA与人只相差1．5%，因而分析这一看似微不足道的差异，自然有助于揭示人之所以为人的奥秘。

看来，不同物种似乎是通过长期复制、改良和组合现存基因而获得进化的。正是这种逐渐从多细胞有机物中汲取新鲜养分的“复制”过程，才使人类不断进化以至于成为超越低级生命形式的高级动物。所以，有专家将基因比作砖块，“用它既能修车库，也可以盖摩天大楼，关键是看你如何运用”。

下列对人类基因组研究描述，最准确的一项是（　　）。

下列对“不同物种似乎是通过长期复制、改良和组合现存基因而获得进化的”这句话的理解，错误的一项是（　　）。

下列对人类基因工作组研究的表述不正确的一项是（　　）。

根据下列内容，回答181-185题。

For the first century or so of the Industrial Revolution, increased productivity led to decreasesin working hours. A generation ago social planners worried about what people would do with all thisnew-found free time. In the US, at least, it seems they need not have bothered.

Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure (freetime)seems reserved largely for the unemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on thejob as they did at the end of World War II. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since1970.

There are several reasons for lost leisure. Since 1979,companies have responded toimprovements in the business climate by having employees work overtime rather than by hiringextra personnel. Most increased production doesn't relate to the employment. Some firms are evendownsizing as their profits climb. It's more profitable to ask 40 employees to labor an extra houreach than to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job.

Although employees complain about long hours, they, too, have reasons not to trade moneyfor leisure. People who work reduced hours pay a huge price in career terms. It's taken as anegative (负面的 ) signal about their commitment to the firm. Many managers find it difficult tomeasure the contribution of their staff to a firm's well-being, so they use the number of workinghours instead of the output to evaluate the employees. Well aware of this, employees adjust theirbehavior accordingly.

It may take some time before workers can successfully trade increased productivity and moneyfor leisure time. The reality is that the U.S. market for goods has focused on fulltime, two-careerhouseholds. Car makers no longer produce cheap models, and developers do not build the tinybungalows that served the first postwar generation of house seekers.

In a word, in U.S., goods are appropriate only for high incomes and long hours.

What was the result of the industrial revolution?__________

__________have got more free time to enjoy themselves since 1945.

One reason why employees don't want to trade money for leisure is that__________.

It can be inferred from the text that__________.

The passage is mainly about__________.

根据下列内容，回答186-190题。

Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity. But, it is often the belief ofothers that gives us the courage to try.

J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. In herbiography, she remembers with great fondness when her good friend, Sean, whom she met insecondary school, became the first person to encourage her and help build the confidence that oneday she would be a very good writer.

"He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition to be a writer. Hewas also the only person who thought I was bound to be a success at it, which meant much more tome than I ever told him at the time."

Despite many setbacks Rowling persevered in her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But itwasn't until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls, it was on along train journey from London to Manchester that "the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into myhead. To my immense frustration (沮丧), I didn't have a functioning pen with me, and I was tooshy to ask anybody if I could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing,because I simply sat and thought, for four(delayed train) hours, and all the details bubbled up inmy brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who didn't know he was a wizardbecame more and more real to me."

That same year, her mother passed away after a ten-year battle with multiple sclerosis, whichdeeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from herhusband shortly afterwards.

During this time,Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression. Unemployed,shecompleted her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After beingrejected by 12 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small Britishpublishing house.

Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J. K. Rowlingis the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her commitment to writing that wasfostered by the confidence of a friend !

Who believed J.K.Rowling was to be a good writer?__________

Rowling first came up with the idea about Harry Potter__________.

She felt frustrated on the train because__________.

It can be concluded from Paragraph 5 and 6 that Rowling is__________.

San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrelbridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.

The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to givesquirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.

The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds.

Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office buildingwhere office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who workedin and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.

One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day's coffee breakdiscussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge ideaand formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council. The Council approved, andCouncilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge "Nutty Narrows."

After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. Theybuilt the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose. It cost $1,000.

It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were evenseen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, andNutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.

In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made andcrosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animallovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.

Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge inmemory of its builder and his devotion to the project.

Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used acomputer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in theUnited States.

The result: thirteen percent fewer heart attacks. Eight percent fewer strokes. Four percentfewer deaths. Eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease. And two hundred forty billiondollars in health care savings.

Researchers found it could prevent one hundred thousand heart attacks and ninety-twothousand deaths every year.

The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten at the University of California,was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams,or one-half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford andColumbia University.

Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium, which is how foods may listtheir salt content.

The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The AmericanHeart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the Americandiet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen-seventies, while blood pressures have also risen.Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading an effort called the National SaltReduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants.

Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in thecity to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children's Research Institute shows howthat idea can influence what parents order for their children.

Ninety-nine parents of three to six year olds took part. Half had McDonald's menus clearlyshowing how many calories were in each food. The other half got menus without the calorie

information.

All the following are related to the salt in diet except__________.

The makers of Europe's toilet paper and other household paper goods are contributing todeforestation by failing to offer consumers enough recycled products, conservationists said recently.

"Everyday about 270,000 trees are effectively flushed down the toilet or end up as garbagearound the world; such a use of the forests is both wasteful and unnecessary," said Duncan Poundof WWF, formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund.

According to a WWF study, the five biggest manufacturers of disposable paper products inEurope are Procter and Gamble, SCA, Kimberly Clark, Mesa Tissue and Georgia Pacific, whichcontrolabout 70 percent of European market. The vast majorityof their products contain"alarmingly low levels" of recycled fibers, it said.

That means that"virgin fibers" extracted from natural forests and tree plantations around theworld"end up as waste without the consumer's knowledge, ” the Switzerland-based internationalconservation group said in this communique.

"Consumers have no idea that they may be threatening the world's forests when they go to thebathroom, "said Pollard, who heads the WWF program on European forests.

"The manufactures claim that retailers mainly want non-recycled products because that is whatconsumers choose." the WWF said.

"It's a myth that recycled tissue products are not of good quality." Pollard said.

The European tissue business is worth around 8.5 billion euros(10 billion dollars) annuallyand accounts for 26 percent of global consumption.

Each European uses on average 13 kilos of paper products per year, the WWF said.

The WWF has asked the companies to better inform consumers about how much of theirhousehold paper goods are made with recycled fibers and to advise them to buy bounds of recycledtoilet paper and tissues.

What does the underlined part"end up as waste without the consumer's knowledge" mean ?__________

We can learn from the passage that__________.

"Hi there. How's it going? "

"Oh, fine. Fine. How about this weather, huh? "

"Well, I guess we can alway use the rain."

What is that?This story?Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know, those seeminglymeaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day. Maybe you're waiting for the elevator,or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial. Idle chatter about traffic doesn't do much morethan fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten. But you should know that small talkactually has a big place in our lives.

Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, "Left unchecked, small talk can be aninvasion. It's so powerful. It does something to you."" Every morning after spending an hour and ahalf on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary, "Oliver says, "If I don't makesmall connection with another person, I can't work."

What causes it?As a rule, you're either trying to force something into your life, or you'reusing conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to connect withanother person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaning conversation. The way peopleuse small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time.

Take the elevator, for instance. Now there's prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and there'sno reason to start a conversation, but invariably, someone does."Making conversation in suchpeaceful social settings," according to Oliver,"can confirm your territory. It's a way of feelingliked and accepted."

The topics of small talk don't matter. In fact, you don't want anything more taxing than theweather or the traffic. It's non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the ruleschange quickly when you're with lots of people doing lots of talking.

Let's say you're at a party. Now it's time to use small talk as a way of making others feelmore comfortable around you, so don't look silly standing by the food table alone all night.
