The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers are also careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in the fast developing field of biotechnology have provided materials for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the population imagination.While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research in the Untied States, which began in 1990, is unlocking the code of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with as yet terrible diseases, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome; as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.Why did the scientists work so hard at mapping the human genome().A. Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.B. Because the human genome’s completion can help to get rid of many diseases.C. Because they wanted to be better known than others.D.

So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.Accountability isn’t hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together-honesty, kindness, and so on-accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law-and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who rerun, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people’s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Fortunately there are still communities-smaller towns, usually-where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: In this family certain things are not tolerated-they simply are not done!Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has gone. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you enrage him.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn’t provide a stable home.I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.What the wise man said suggests that ().A. it’s unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evilB. it’s certain that evil will prevail it good men do nothing about itC. it’s only natural for virtue to defeat evilD. it’s desirable for good men to keep away from evil23.M: Hello, Sue!

Where are you goingM: Italy.W: Tell me more.M: Well, I’m leaving at 8 tomorrow morning.W: Are you driving to the airport, or are you taking a coachM: Driving. That’s about an hour. Er, I’m arriving at the airport at 9 o’ clock and taking off at 10 o’clock.W: What are you going to do in Italy Lie on the beach and get nicely suntannedM: I enjoy sunbathing on the beach. But this holiday is going to be a bit different. It’s more of a cultural holiday. I hope to visit some museums, art galleries, taste a bit of the food and the drink, and experience the lifestyle of Italy.W: Sounds pretty interesting.M: Yeah, I’ve got a whole list of museums and art galleries. And in fact, I will rent a car in Milan so I can drive around.W: That’s a good idea. Renting a car makes it easier to see the city.

When people smoke the nicotine goes directly into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker’s body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stops smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of their dependence on nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too hard to stop.Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking and what it symbolizes. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social forms, for example, the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it makes their hands busy.Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to make people give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it difficult to stop smoking but want to reduce the risk to their health.Why do so many people become dependent on cigarettes().A. Because they like the taste of tar.B. Because smoking makes them feel relaxed.C. Because smoking is fun to them.D. Because smoking cures them of cancer.25.The Human Genome Project, a great $ 3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent complete.
