1、大学英语六级模拟试卷 337及答案与解析 一、 Part I Writing (30 minutes) 1 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a passage of at least 150 words in the title of Cheating in Exams. Please follow the outline given below. 1. 许多人对考试作弊持否定态度,认为这是不诚实的表现。 2.也有人认为考试作弊情有可原。 3.你的观点。 二、 Part II Reading Comp

2、rehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions attached to the passage. For questions 1-4, mark: Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the

3、 statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. 1 GM Organisms By far the most common genetically modified (GM) organisms are crop plants. But the technology has now been applied to almost all forms of life, form pets th

4、at glow under UV light to bacteria which from HIV- blocking “living condoms“ and from pigs bearing spinach(菠菜 ) genes to goats that produce spider silk. GM tomatoes first appeared on British supermarket shelves in 1996 (a different fresh GM tomato first appeared in the US in 1994), but that the cons

5、umers were in favor of GM technology did not erupt until February 1999. This was because a controversial study suggested that a few strains of GM potatoes might be toxic to laboratory rats. Those experiments, subsequently criticized by other experts, were carried out in Scotland by biochemist Arpad

6、Pustzai. What followed was a European anti-GM food campaign of near religious fervor. Spearheaded in the UK by environmental groups and some newspapers, the campaign would have far-reaching consequences. It culminated in an unofficial moratorium (延期付款 )on the growth and import of GM crops in Europe

7、and led to a trade dispute with the US. GM crops are today very rare in Europe, strict labeling laws and regulations are in place for food (DNV = A bar codes), and public opinion towards the technology remains largely negative. Several UK government reports have offered qualified support for GM crop

8、s and produce, though they argue that the economic benefits of the technology are currently small. Some African nations have also opposed engineered crops, even to the point of rejecting international food aid containing them. GM produce has been taken up with far less fuss in the US (where it does

9、not have to be labeled), India, China, Canada, Argentina, Australia and elsewhere. However controversy over a type of GM corn -only approved for animal feed-which turned up in taco shells and other products stirred opinion in the US. Biotech Revolution The human race has methodically improved crop p

10、lants through selective breeding for many thousands of years, but genetic engineering allows that time-consuming process to be accelerated and exotic traits from unrelated species to be introduced. But not everyone agrees this represents progress. The root of genetic engineering in crops lies in the

11、 1997 discovery that soil bug Agrobacterium Tumefaciens can be used as a tool to inject potentially useful foreign genes into plants. With the help of that microbe, and other gene-implantation technologies such as gene guns, geneticists have developed a multitude of new crop types. Most of these are

12、 modified to pest, disease or herbicide resistant and include: soya, wheat, corn (maize), oilseed rape(canola), cotton, sugar beet, walnuts, potatoes, peanuts, squashes, tomatoes, tobacco, peas, sweet peppers, lettuce and onions, among others. The bacterial gene Bt is one of the most commonly insert

13、ed. It produces an insecticidal toxin that is harmless to people. Supporters of GM technology argue that engineered crops - such as vitamin A-boosted golden rice or protein-enhanced potatoes - can improve nutrition, that drought - or salt-resistant varieties can flourish in poor conditions and preve

14、nt world hunger, and that insect-repelling crops protect the environment by minimizing pesticide use. Other plants have been engineered to improve flavour, increase shelf life, increase hardiness and to be allergen-free. Geneticists have even created a no-tears onion to banish culinary(厨房的 ) crying,

15、 and novel caffeine-free coffee plants. “Frankenfood“ Fears Critics fear that what they call “Frankenstein foods“ could have unforeseen, adverse health effects on consumers, producing toxic proteins (and allergens) or transferring antibiotic-resistance and other genes to human gut bacteria to damagi

16、ng effect. But there has been little evidence to back up such risks so far. More plausible threats are that modified crops could become insidious (阴险的 ) superweeds, or that they could accidentally breed with wild plants or other crops - genetically polluting the environment. This could be a potentia

17、lly serious problem if “pharm“ crops, engineered to produce pharmaceutical(药物的 ) drugs, accidentally cross breed with food varieties( or seeds become mixed up). Large numbers of field trials, carried out by the UK government and others, reveal that gene-transfer does occur. One 2002 study showed tha

18、t transgenes had spread from US to traditional corn varieties in Mexico. A 2004 study revealed that conventional varieties of major US food crops have also been widely contaminated. Another study proved that pollen from GM plants can be carried on the wind for tens of kilometers. Many experts agree

19、that insect-repelling plants will also speed the evolution of insecticide-resistant pests. Normal crops are often grown alongside transgenic ones as refuges for the pests, in an attempt to prevent their accelerated evolution into “superpests“. Environmentalists also argue that growing GM crops affec

20、ts farmland biodiversity. Field trials to test for this have produced mixed results-some suggesting that GM crops actually boost biodiversity. Growing Globalisation Genetic modification of crops may offer the largest potential benefits to developing nations. However, the growing globalisation of agr

21、iculture is a trend that worries some. Activists and resentful farmers worry that the agricultural biotech industry is encouraging reliance on their own-brand herbicide-resistant plants (Roundup Ready for example), which could create monopolies. Companies such as Monsanto or Syngenta protect their G

22、M seeds with patents. In one well-known legal case a Canadian farmer was successfully prosecuted for growing GM Corn, though he claimed seed had accidentally blown on to his land. Companies have also investigated technology protection systems. One type of TPS, dubbed the Terminator system by its cri

23、tics, is a genetic trick that means GM crops fail to produce fertile feeds. This prevents the traditional practice of putting seeds aside from the crop to replant the following year, forcing farmers to buy new seed every year. However some biotech companies have pledged not to use this technology, d

24、espite the fact it could be a useful tool in preventing genetic pollution. A clever genetic variation on that theme, the Exorcist system, allows the production of fertile seeds, but with any foreign GM DNA spliced out and destroyed. The GM revolution has not been restricted to crops. A small number

25、of farm and laboratory animals have also been modified. These include: quick-to-mature GM salmon(大麻哈鱼 ) ,endowed with an early growth spurt, GM cows that produce casein-enriched milk ideal for cheese making, pigs bearing spinach genes that produce lower-fat bacon, goats engineered to churn (搅拌 )out

26、spider silk in their milk and mice that produce healthy fish oils. 2 GM technology is only used on crop plants. ( A) Y ( B) N ( C) NG 3 When GM tomatoes first entered British supermarket, it caused a sensation to the whole immediately. ( A) Y ( B) N ( C) NG 4 Thanks to the European anti-GM food camp

( A) Y ( B) N ( C) NG 6 In order to prevent people from crying, the geneticists have invented the no-tears union_ . 7 The opinion that “Fra

28、nkenstein foods“ have had adverse health effects on consumers lacks enough _. 8 A lot of experiments conducted by the UK government prove that the appearance of _. 9 Study shows that the pollen form GM plants can be carried on _. 10 Environmentalists hold the view that growing GM crops affect _. 11
