1、大学英语四级模拟试卷 680及答案与解析 一、 Part I Writing (30 minutes) 1 For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled My View on Charity. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below. 1近日,有些从事慈善事业的个人及机构受到人们的批评 2出现这 种现象的原因 3我的看法 My View on Charity 二、 Part II Reading

2、 Comprehension (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 1-7, mark: Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) i

3、f the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. 1 Animal Testing Anna stares at the computer screen and considers her options. In front of her are two shapes a flower and a diamond. If she picks the right one, she w

4、ill be rewarded with bananas. The wrong choice will briefly switch the lights off in her glass box. She decides on the diamond and is plunged into darkness. During the next nine minutes, Anna makes the same mistake over and over again. The neuroscienti-sts (神经学家 ) who designed this experiment are te

5、sting how good Anna is at learning new rules. Over the past few weeks, she had learned that the diamond was her ticket to a sugary drink, but this is the first test in which the rules have been reversed. Most of the animals adapt quickly; but Anna is different. In March, she had precision brain surg

6、ery in which researchers destroyed a small area of her brain. She moves, eats and behaves normally around the other animals, but the experiments are showing that the specific brain region destroyed is crucial for subtle behavioral abilities. If Anna were human, this experiment would not be possible.

7、 But the studies carried out on her and the other marmosets (美洲产长尾猴 ) at one of the most controversial research centers in Britain are providing vital insights into the brain malfunctions that cause mental problems. Animal rights campaigners condemn this research as cruel and unnecessary. This Sprin

8、g, the famous primatologist (灵长类动物学家 ) Dr. Jane Goodall asked the European Union to do more to find other routes to cures. The European Commission is reviewing Directive 86/609, which governs animal research across the EU. Goodall and groups who are against experiments with animals hope to pressure

9、the commission to include a timetable to end primate (灵长类动物 ) testing altogether. Despite being a world-class neuroscientist, Jessica, who runs a secret marmoset facility at a leading British university, rarely talks about her job. Police have found her name on a hit list put together by animal righ

10、ts extremists. She is afraid that if her work becomes more widely known, her home and family might be targeted. Jessica has never before talked to a journalist, but now she feels a duty to speak. “ Im fed up with the amount of misinformation thats constantly put out,“ she said. She particularly obje

11、cts to the photographs shown on anti-animal testing websites with monkeys terrified because protesters have broken in during the night; or images that are cut to make the cages look too small. They are often decades out of date, she says. “ The disorders which we are trying to treat are crippling to

12、 people. I would love it if we could just tell the world what we do. “ The marmosets live in nine rooms, in cages nearly three meters high that are full of ladders, beams and ropes. The cages are designed with the needs of this species in mind. The monkeys, which are bred here, live either in family

13、 groups of up to 15 or in pairs, as they would in the wild. “ What we try to do is, as closely as possible, give them all the opportunities they would have in the wild,“ says Peter, the laboratorys animal welfare officer. In the marmoset kitchen, he prepares the monkeys food. Their diet consists of

14、egg and Complan sandwiches, along with pills that give them the correct balance of minerals. But Peter also includes a dried fruit-and-nut mix and fresh fruit. Groups who are against the use of animals in research claim that scientists force the monkeys to perform by starving them and not giving the

15、m water. Peter denies this. He says the animals receive a balanced diet, and breeding animals receive exactly the same diet as the experimental monkeys. “ We limit the times when they have treats. But we are not starving the animals. Treating the animals badly would be counter-productive. Animals fo

16、rced to take part in experiments would give unreliable results ,“ he says. For those who are against primate research, though, even the best conditions mean suffering. “ We know that the intelligence and emotional needs of monkeys make even day-to-day life in a laboratory cage a serious animal right

17、s issue in addition to the horrifying suffering that can be caused by invasive brain studies or poisoning tests,“ said an animal rights spokesperson. This is a problem for many people who are uncomfortable with the idea of experimenting on the brains of creatures so evolutionarily close to ourselves

18、. To explore how the monkeys brains work, the researchers must destroy parts of the brain tissue. The research in the lab is not aimed at testing specific new drugs against the monkey versions of human brain diseases, or how poisonous new products are. Tests are aimed at understanding the basic nerv

19、ing architecture of primates (including us), so that treatments for brain diseases may become a possibility. One focus is on testing the monkeys behavioral flexibility and finding out which areas of the brain are responsible. It is these parts of the brain that are changed in conditions such as OCD(

20、强迫症 ). OCD patients feel they have to repeat certain aspects of behavior, such as washing their hands. Anna , returning time and again to the wrong symbol in her computer test, shows a similar behavior, says Jessica. When OCD patients are given the same rule-changing task, they act in the same way.

21、The difference with Anna is that one can work out which part of the brain is responsible for the behavior and so offer options for treating the symptoms in people. Jessica insists that the insights her team is providing into how the human brain works would not be possible any other way. No scientist

22、 would choose to work on animals if an alternative existed, she said. It is expensive and dangerous because of the extremes to which some who are against the work are prepared to go. “ You need to do something for this huge number of people who suffer from these mental disorders. We cant do that unl

23、ess we understand how the brain controls our behavior. “ Critics say using animals in research is old-fashioned science. “Urgent action is needed to improve the protection of animals, and to replace immoral and outdated animal experiments with non-animal techniques,“ said Dr. Gill Langley of the Dr

24、Hadwen Trust, a non-animal medical research organization. She favors methods such as tissue culture, computer modeling and brain studies, which, she says, are more advanced and relevant to human patients. 2 The purpose of the experiment that Anna takes part in is to see_.
