June 26,2000—the Human Genome(基因组)Project,a great＄3 billion,15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic(遗传的)map of humans,is now more than 90 percent completed.The scientific and medical communities(团体) are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长) human life.But those communities and policy(政策) makers also are 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 (生物技术） have provides material for all kinds of work,but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code(密码） have opened a world of possibilities for human health,as well as for the popular imagination.
While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding(解码) human DNA,the leading organization for genetic research is in the United States,which began in 1990,is “unlocking the code”of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal(致命的）diseases.Already,the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genses（基因） connected with as yet（迄今） 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(传染）,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.
56.Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the Human Genome?
A.Because the Human Genome can destroy many illnesses.
B.Because the Human Genome's completion can help them get rid of many diseases.
C.Because they wanted to be better known than others.
D.Because the Human Genome can provide a lot of chances of work.
57Which country studied the genes most rapidly in the world?
A.Japan. B.Germany. C.The United States. D.China.
58.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.If the genes can be found,scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.
B.The scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers.
C.Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.
D.The United States began the Genes Study early in the 19th century.
59.The author suggests that the Human Genome Project can cause________.
A.the policy makers to feel very worried and careful
B.the scientists to work harder
C.many people to find work easily
D.a lot of companies to produce many new drugs
60.The main idea of this article is about_________.
A.unlocking genetic code B.the genes' discovery
C.the great human genome D.the genes and the scientists

On Saturday August 12,2000,during Northern Fleet training exercises in the Braents Sea,the Russian nuclear submarine(潜水艇)Kursk sank in about 100 meters of water with some 118 sailors aboard.It's known later that several officers were also aboard,observing the training exercises.The Kursk is lying on the ocean floor in the Barents Sea.The Russian Navy says that it was listing 30 degrees to port.Other sources report it was listing as much 60 degrees.According to a Russian newspaper,when the submarine Kursk failed to make contact with the naval command at the right time later that day,Northern Fleet Commander Admiral Vyachesav Popov ordered rescue ships into the area.It took hours to find the submarine,as it didn't launch(发射) a marking buoy(浮)before sinking.
Russian Navy Chief insisted that the submarine Kursk had been involved (卷入） in a major collision(碰撞）,but the great deal of information shows that this is not true.Up till now,it's believed that an explosion in the torpedo compartment(鱼雷舱） in the nose of the Kursk was the likely cause.Now Russian government officially asked Norway for help in rｅcovering of sailors' bodies first of all,and Norway has agreed to offer all help.But Russian insisted that only Russians work inside the submarine Kursk,and that the work last for about 10～18 working days.It is expected to recover only 25～35 bodies from the Kursk.
It was not until Oct.25,when a team of Russian divers entered the submarine Kursk,some 350 feet below the surface,that truth became clear.On Nov.7, in the morning,owing to(由于） the icy and the cold weather,a special rescue meeting held on Murmansk decided to stop the whole bodies recovering operation.
61.From the text we can infer that_______ led to the sinking of the submarine Kursk.
A.a small fighting with another foreign submarine
B.an explosion inside the submarine Kursk
C.a great collision inside the submarine Kursk
D.an attack from another foreign submarine
62.After Kursk accident occurred,Northern Fleet Commander Popov________.
A.decided to recover all the sailors' bodies immediately
B.went to apply to Norway for help at once
C.decided to find out the real cause of sinking at once
D.sent several rescue ships into the Barents Sea
63. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A.If the rescue work does within 10～18 days,there will be about 30 sailors to be recovered.
B.It's not believed that there are many unclear weapons inside the Kursk.
C.A team of divers from Norway entered the submarine Kursk successfully on Oct.25
D.It's reported that a major collision is unlikely to cause the sinking of the Kursk.
64. Why does Russia insist that only Russian divers can work inside the submarine Kursk?
A.Because the Barents Sea is very icy and the weather is too cold.
B.Because Russia feared that the top secrets inside the Kursk will be let out.
C.Because Russian divers are much more skilled than those from Norway.
D.Because Russian government wants to bring the cost down to the lowest degree.
65. The underlined words “make contact with” in the first paragraph refersto the idea that the submarine Kursk can't_______.
A.get in touch after much effort with the naval command
B.send up the nuclear weapons in the training exercises
C.get the naval officers to return to the Northern Fleet
D.get in touch after much effort with Russian government
C
The Three Gorges Dam,the largest dam,is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth.It aims to make the mother of all floods,the Yangtze River,into a tame river,and to generate(产生) power of181 200 megawatts for Easternand Central China.It will form a huge,deep water lake,and make it possible for 10 000 ton ocean—going ships to sail 1 500 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing,making it one of the world's largest inland ports.
Construction has already started.The dam will be about 6 860 feet wide and 611 feet high,at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang.It is obvious that such a grand project will do much good.It is the most important to control floods.By building hydropower plants,China will offer much in environmental projection（计划）.
However,some scientists don't agree to the project.They say the Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will pollute the reservoir(水库）,which will destroy the ecological(生态学的） balance and also the sand from upstream will form sandbed.The Three Gorges Dam could be considered when it is finished,in 2009,the eighth wonder of the world.
66. Which is not the purpose to build such a huge dam ?
A.To prevent floods. B.To produce electricity.
C.To improve the sailing conditions. D.To make it a wonder.
67. Where does the dam lie?
A.Near Chongqing. B.In Sandouping. C.Near Yichang. D.In Yichang.
68. Some scientists fear that _______ when the dam is built.
A.the ecological balance will be destroyed
B.large ships will destroy the dam
C.the Yangtze River may be too crowded
D.the amount of electricity will not be as much as expected
69. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. China will be able to depend on the Yangtze River,the third largest riverin the world,for electricity.
B.Chongqing will become one of the largest inland ports in the world.
C.The dam will cause serious pollution.
D.The dam will tame the Yangtze River.
