The p

25、数：0，分数：0.00)三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Gene therapy and gene-based drugs are two ways we could benefit from our growing mastery of genetic science. But there will be others as well. Here is one of the remarkable therapies on the cutting edge of genetic research that could make their way into mainst
26、ream medicine in the coming years.While its true that just about every cell in the body has the instructions to make a complete human, most of those instructions are inactivated, and with good reason: the last thing you want for your brain cells is to start churning out stomach acid or your nose to
27、turn into a kidney. The only time cells truly have the potential to turn into any and all body parts is very early in a pregnancy, when so-called stem cells havent begun to specialize.Yet this untapped potential could be a terrific boon to medicine. Most diseases involve the death of healthy cells-b
28、rain cells in Alzheimers, cardiac cells in heart disease, pancreatic cells in diabetes, to name a few. If doctors could isolate stem cells, then direct their growth, they might be able to furnish patients with healthy replacement tissue.It was incredibly difficult, but last fall scientists at the Un
29、iversity of Wisconsin managed to isolate stem ceils and get them to grow into neural, gut, muscle and bone cells. The process still cant be controlled, and may have unforeseen limitations; but if efforts to understand and master stem-cell development prove successful, doctors will have a therapeutic
30、 tool of incredible power.The same applies to cloning, which is really just the other side of the coin; true cloning, as first shown with the sheep Dolly two years ago, involves taking a developed cell and reactivating the genome within, resetting its developmental instructions to a pristine state.
31、Once that happens, the rejuvenated cell can develop into a full-fledged animal, genetically identical to its parent.For agriculture, in which purely physical characteristics like milk production in a cow or low fat in a hog have real market value, biological carbon copies could become routine within
32、 a few years. This past year scientists have done for mice and cows what Ian Wilmut did for Dolly, and other creatures are bound to join the cloned menagerie in the coming year.Human cloning, on the other hand, may be technically feasible but legally and emotionally more difficult. Still, one day it
33、 will happen. The ability to reset body cells to a pristine, undeveloped state could give doctors exactly the same advantages they would get from stem cells., the potential to make healthy body tissues of all sorts, and thus to cure disease. That could prove to be a true “miracle cure./（分数：5.00）(1).
34、The writer holds that the potential to make healthy body tissues will _.A. aggravate moral issues of human cloningB. bring great benefits to human beingsC. help scientists decode body instructionsD. involve employing surgical instruments（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The word “rejuvenated“ (Para. 5 ) most pro
35、bably means _.A. modified B. re-collected C. classified D. reactivated（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The research at the University of Wisconsin is mentioned to show _.A. the isolation of stem cells B. the effects of gene therapiesC. the advantages of human cloning D. the limitations of tissue replacements（分数
36、：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The principle of gene therapy is applicable to that of cloning.B. The isolation of stem ceils is too difficult to be feasible.C. It is reasonable for all body instructions to be activated.D. Cloned animals will eventually take
37、 control of the world.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Towards the genetic research, the authors attitude can best be said to be that of _.A. frustration B. indifference C. amazement D. opposition（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Direct adverting includes all forms of sales appeals, mailed, delivered
38、, or exhibited directly to the prospective buyer of an advertised product or service, without use of any indirect medium, such as newspapers or television Direct advertising logically may be divided into three broad classifications, namely, direct-mail advertising, mail order advertising, and unmail
39、ed direct advertising.All forms of sales appeals that are sent through the mails are considered direct-mail advertising. The chief functions of direct-mail advertising are to familiarize prospective buyers with a product, its name, its maker, and its merits and with the product s local distributors.
40、 The direct-mail appeal is designed also to support the sales activities of retailers by encouraging the continued patronage of both old and new customers.When no personal selling is involved, other methods are needed to persuade people to send in orders by mail. In addition to newspapers, magazines
41、, radio, and television, other special devices order promotions are designed to accomplish a complete selling job without salespeople.Used for the same broad purposes as direct-mail advertising, unmailed direct-mail advertising, includes all forms of indoor advertising displays and all printed sales
42、 appeals distributed from door to door, handed to customers in retail stores or conveyed in some other manner directly to the recipient.With each medium competing keenly for its share of the business, advertising agencies continue to develop new techniques for displaying and selling wares and servic
43、es. Among these techniques have been vastly improved printing and reproduction methods in the graphic field, adapted to magazine advertisements and to direct-mall enclosures; the use of color in newspaper advertisements and in television; and outdoor signboards more attractively designed and efficie
44、ntly lighted. Many subtly effective improvements are suggested by advertising research.（分数：5.00）(1).Direct advertising _.A. includes all forms of sales appeals to the prospective buyerB. is produced mainly for newspaper or televisionC. is an activity by which real products are shown to buyersD. uses
45、 post as a chief means to contact prospective buyers（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Direct-mail advertising _.A. uses letters as a chief means of providing informationB. sends old customers detailed information about new productsC. uses letters to tell prospective buyers about the local sellersD. sends over th
46、e prospective buyers sample products by parcels（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The word “prospective“ in the first sentence of the passage means _.A. would be B. prosperous C. rich D. old（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The chief function of unmailed advertising is _.A. to send sample products from door to doorB. to famil
47、iarize the customers with the productsC. to deliver the products directly to the retail storesD. to send information about the products in quick ways（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).From the last paragraph we learn _.A. direct advertising is the best way to promote a productB. companies are trying to find the b
48、est way to sell their productsC. advertising is becoming enriched by the research in this areaD. old ways of advertising is giving ways to new ways of doing it（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：7.00)Many different meanings have been given to the word poetry. It would weary my readers if I wer
49、e to discuss which of these definitions ought to be selected; I prefer telling them at once that which I have chosen. In my opinion, Poetry is the search after, and the delineation of, the Ideal.The Poet is he who, by suppressing a part of what exists, by adding some imaginary touches to the picture, and by combining certain real ci
