B

On June 26,2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig Venter, told the world that they could now read the whole “map” of the human body：DNA. DNA is something that everyone has, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.

People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named “genes” in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.

In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johnson Matthaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. Scientists now have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.

Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, they might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs. Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technic wasn't limited in use.

25．When did we first know why we look like other people in our family? A．In 1860. B．In 1953. C．In 1961. D．In 2000.

26．What does the underlined word “genes” mean? A．The “map” of DNA. B．A special language. C．Small parts of DNA. D．DNA.

27．What can we do if we understand some “words” of the language inside the body? A．Make people get new jobs. B．Make medicine for illnesses. C．Make maps of human.

D．Make people less attractive.

28．What do people think about this work? A．It can cause good or bad results. B．It can cause only good results.

C．It can cause good results but won't work. D．It can cause only bad results. 答案：

本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了DNA的研究历史及研究DNA的作用。对此，不同的人发表了不同的看法。

25．解析：细节理解题。由第二段中的第二句话“In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered ...”可以判断选A。

答案：A

26．解析：猜测词义题。上句话提到了我们与家中的其他人有着相似的地方，再根据后面的句子可以推断这是由于我们身体中的小的基因部分的缘故。

答案：C

27．解析：细节理解题。从最后一段的第一句话“Most people hope ...”可以判断选B。 答案：B

28．解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段，大部分人希望人体内的基因语言信号能够帮助救治病人，其他人则害怕这会引起很多的麻烦，由此可知，这项研究有利也有弊，故选A。

答案：A

C

A young mother went into a small bedroom.Her baby was sleeping there.There was a cat near the baby.The mother took the cat away immediately，because the cat often lay on the baby.Then the baby couldn't breathe，and it died by magic.In many countries，people are afraid of black cats because they bring bad luck.Napoleon didn't like black cats.He saw a black cat before the battle of Waterloo.He lost the battle and the British won.Therefore，on the Continent，the black cat is unlucky；in Britain it is lucky.In general，animals are lucky and birds are unlucky.In the British army，some have a goat for luck，and some have an Irish wolfhound(猎狼犬)．When President of America Eisenhower died，there was a horse in the funeral(葬礼)procession.This was for luck.Several years ago in Britain，Prince Charles went fox－hunting.When they caught the first fox，they killed it.Then they put some of the blood on Prince Charles.They did the same thing two years later，when Princess Anne went fox-hunting for the first time.A lot of people don't like

fox-hunting，and they were very angry when this happened.It is called“being blooded”；and fox－hunters think that is very necessary.It brings good luck to the new fox-hunter，when the blood of

the first fox is put on him or her.In the country，it is very lucky when you see the first lamb in spring while birds are usually unlucky，but eagles are different.They are lucky，and the Romans have the eagle as their symbol.Also gulls are lucky.Sailors are very happy when gulls follow their ships.
