10、ive in the summer camp.2、 On a freezing cold day, a couple had to move into a small apartment because of their failure in business. The husband worked day and night to support the family but gave no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesnt love me any more. He just cares about his business . not
11、 me”. One day, she was about to take a shower when he stopped her at the door, “Let me take it first, okay?” “Why not me first?” she asked. “I am tired, honey, you take it later, okay?” She was entirely unhappy. One day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. A few words came into her s
12、ight. Reading them, she burst into tears. It was his diary: Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said to her, “I was exhausted.” She was unhappy. In her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but what could I do? I was not as rich as before! We move
13、d to the small apartment, and there was only one shower in the bathroom. It was so cold to take a shower in such a cold winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer. So every day I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took th
14、e shower, the room would get warmer, even if it was only 1. Now I cannot give her a comfortable life, take her to good restaurants, or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1 love.1.Why did the couple move to the small apartment _?A.Both of them were out of work. B.They wanted
15、to live a better life.C.The man could take better care of his business. D.They were too poor to live in the former house.2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exhausted” _?A.Devoted. B.Worried. C.Tired. D.Injured.3.What can be inferred from the passage_?A.They would live a richer
16、 life soon. B.The woman misunderstood her husband.C.The man would care less about his business. D.The woman would get angry after reading the diary.4.Whats the best title of the passage_?A.A Love Story B.1 Love C.A Suffering Couple D.Fight for the Bathroom3、A recent study, while showing a generally
17、positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be running out of control . This idea is dangerous. Science can be a force for evil(邪恶）as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or co
18、llectively will determine the outcomes of science. But here is real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we m
19、ay step back and do nothing. Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections ( 反对 ) whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a s
20、ense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world. In our interconnected（互联的） world， the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of controlling scienc
21、e in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响 )on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to pred
22、ict. The outcomes are hard to predict. Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse science and can science best serve mankind in the future.1. Accordi
23、ng to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.B. Businesses will have an even greater influence on science.C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D. People will work more actively
24、 to put science under control.2. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB the ties between different areas need strengtheningC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD. people need to work together to prev
25、ent the bad use of science3. What can we conclude from the recent study?A. People think highly of science. B People hold mixed opinions about science.C. Science is getting dangerously out of control D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes4. What is the main idea of the passage?A Science an
26、d its applications bring us many dangers.B. The development of science mostly lies in peoples attitudes.C Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.D The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas4、People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer e
27、ven 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 precise, they found 20 copies of
28、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 they can go on to form dead
29、ly 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 long lifespan like whales a
30、nd 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 paradox(悖论)”. Biologists beli
31、eve 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 cancer resistance as elephants.
32、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, University 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.”1.Why are elephants unlikely to dev
