28、hen American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago. Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a numbe

29、r of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty （螺旋状防波堤）, made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake.

30、c of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty.

31、ly decay（衰落）. Thats one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.

35、nts do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans（寿命）that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years. Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors（肿瘤）developing. To be precis

36、e, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy. According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animals sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before

37、they can go on to form deadly tumors. “An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals ,” the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous（癌变的）, large creatures with a

38、long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass. This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Petos pa

39、radox（悖论）”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephants case, the making of TP53 is natures way of keeping this species alive. The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cance

40、r resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place. “Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, Univer

41、sity of Utah, US. “Its up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”32. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer? A. They have a rather large body size. B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage. C. Certain genes in thei

42、r body kill existing tumors. D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.33. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals? A. Deadly tumors. B. The huge body mass. C. Cells killing themselves. D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.34. What does the underlined par

43、t “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A. Larger animals have protection from TP53. B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size. C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones. D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.35. What can be c

44、oncluded from the passage? A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer. B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people. C. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53. D. The extra copies of elephants genes are used to cure cancer patients.第二节
