　　Text 1

　　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 mainstream medicine in the coming years．

　　While it’S 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 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 haven’t begun to specialize．

　　Yet this untapped potential could be a terrific boon to medicine．Most diseases involve the death of healthy cells-brain cells in Alzheimer’s，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 University of Wisconsin managed to isolate stem cells and get them to grow into neural，gut，muscle and bone cells．The process still can’t be controlled，and may have unforeseen limitations；but if efforts to understand and master stem cell development prove successful，doctors will have a therapeutic tool of incredible power．

　　The sanle 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．Once that happens，the rejuvenated cell can develop into a full—fiedged 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

　　Dark Ages to modern New York City．Multiplayer options include local area network and Internet play as well as the ability to make and run your own stories for other players．The manual is beautiful and helpful，a rare combination．Clearly，the designers took their cue from White Wolf，as evidenced by the clarity of text and carefully chosen illustrations．Though Redemption is really worth playing，gamers should be warned that the save—game feature is irritating and often beyond the player’s control and that the installation requires at least 720 MB(and up to 1．3 GB!)．Despite these flaws，the game is still wicked fun and merits plenty of praise．

　　D

　　Counter-Strike，the world’s most popular online action game and first-person shooter for the PC，makes its console debut exclusively on Xbox and Xbox Live．Counter-Strike for Xbox features single-player missions， taking place over a gritty realistic counterterrorist world．It allows garners to challenge other players in team．based multiplayer games on Xbox Live and System Link．

　　Section II Use of English(每小题1分。共计20分。权重10％)

　　参考译文

　　你可能会说阅读时做标记会减慢你的阅读速度。可能会。这是阅读速度减慢的原因之一。我们大多数人都被“阅读速度是检验我们智商的标准”这种观点所蒙蔽。并没有聪明的阅读速度这种事情。有些东西阅读起来应该迅速而轻松，而有些则应该缓慢，甚至是费力的阅读。阅读时的智商体现在根据不同读物的价值用不同方式阅读的能力。至于好书，重要的不是看你能看多少本，而是看你能理解多少本，即有多少能变成你自己的东西。几个朋友胜过成千的泛泛之交。如果这是你的目标——这也应当是你的目标，那么花比读一份报纸更多的时间和精力去读一本好书，你就不会感到不耐烦了。

　　你可能还有反对读书做标记的另一个理由。你不能把做过标记的书借给朋友，因为没有一个人在阅读的时候不会被你做的标记分散注意力。另外，你不会愿意借书给别人。因为一本做过标记的书是一种思想日志，而把它借出去就像把你的思想泄露出去一样。

　　如果你的朋友希望看你的《莎士比亚》或《联邦党人文集》，那么温和而坚定地告诉他自己去买一本。你可以

　　把你的车或你的衣服借给他，但是你的书就像你的脑袋或是你的心脏一样，是你身体的一部分。

　　答案及解析

　　32．reasons【解析】本句中的“doing it”指代slow down your reading，本句意为“这是阅读速度减慢的原因之

　　一。”很容易得知此空应填“原因”。

　　33．reading【解析】本句意为“我们大多数人都会被‘?的速度是检测我们智商的标准’这种观点所蒙蔽。”由上下文可知此空应填“阅读”。

　　34．no 【解析】由上一句可推测本句意为“没有聪明阅读速度这种事情。”承上启下可知应填no。

　　35．shed 【解析】解析同34题。

　　36．read 【解析】由本句中的“and some should be read”可知此空应填read。

　　37．slowly 【解析】由本句中的“even laboriously”可知此空应填slowly。

　　38．in 【解析】“阅读时的智商体现”英语表达为“the sign of intelligence in reading”，介词应用ill。

　　39．different【解析】由此空后面的“things differently according to their worth”可知此空应填different。

　　40．case 【解析】in the case of意为“就?来说，至于”，是固定短语。

　　41．but 【解析】not?but?意为“不是?而是?”。

　　43．better 【解析】此句意为“几个朋友强过成千泛泛之交。”

　　44．as 【解析】as it should be意为“这也应当是你的目标”，此句意为“如果这是你的目标——这也应当是你的目标，那么花比读一份报纸更多的时间和精力去读一本好书，你就不会感到不耐烦了。”

　　45．does 【解析】解析见44题。does指代takes time and effort。

　　46．marking【解析】由短文第一句话可知，此空应填marking，此句意为 “你可能还有反对读书做标记的另一个理由。”

　　47．because【解析】此句意为“你不能把做过标记的书借给朋友，?没有人能?受你的标记影响而阅读它们。”显然，由句意可知此句中的两处空缺应填“因为”和“不”。

　　48．without【解析】解析见47题。

　　49．marked【解析】此句意为“更重要的是，你不会把标记过的书借给他们，因为一本?的书是一种思维的记载，而?它就像将你的心思泄露出去一样。”由整句话可以推知两处空缺应填“标记过的”和“借”。

　　50．lending【解析】解析见49题。

　　短文赏析

　　基因治疗和以基因为基础的药物是我们从遗传科学中获得利益的两种方式。在未来几年内，这些基因疗法会发展成为主流医学。如果医生利用基因知识，分离干细胞，然后培育这些细胞，他们就可能为病人提供健康的移植组织。这种技术同样也有助于克隆技术的发展，以后越来越多的动植物将会被克隆，甚至人本身。排除道德法律的因素，利用基因克隆培养出来的人的各种健康器官，一些病将会被更好的治疗。

　　答案及解析

　　51．B【解析】文章开宗明义，在第一段讲述到，如果我们掌握了基因科学，将会对人类有极大的好处。此外

　　第三段的第一句“Yet this un?tapped potential could be a terrific boon to medicine”，意为“然而这种没被开发的潜能对医学有极大的好处”，作者在全文的最后一句又呼应了这一观点。故应选B。

　　52．D【解析】此词出处在第五段，“rejuvenated”和前一句的“reactivating”构成一种近义的重复。故应选D。

　　53．A【解析】由第四段“?the University of Wisconsin managed to isolate stem cells?”可知，虽然研究很困难，但这所大学还是在去年秋天设法分裂了干细胞。故应选A。

　　困在砂砾中的地震幸存者将来可能会被日本秋田县立大学的Saga发明的一种新型的履带装置机器人拯救。它依靠磁场驱动穿越细小砂砾，装备了灯、照相机，以及传感器等设备。这种履带由一系列装满含有铁粒子、水和类似洗洁剂的表面活性剂的橡胶容器制造。它的移动原理是在履带装置的“主”容器内，磁力液体涌向磁场，致使容器向外突出，并且使其前后部分抬起。当磁场移动到下一个容器时，第一个容器摆脱束缚，向前弹出，同时下一个容器隆起。依靠这种动力，机器人不断蠕动前进。这种机器人能耗量高，但是其稳定性却是很好的。

　　答案解析

　　56．B【解析】由第四段第一句“To make the caterpillar move forwards，Saga moves a magnetic field backwards along the caterpillar．”可以看出，磁场会向后移动，从而使机器虫移动。故应选B。

　　57．C【解析】由第三段倒数第二三句“Each capsule is linked to the next by a pair of rubber rods．”可以得出，囊与囊之间由一对橡胶棒连接。故应选C。

　　58．C【解析】根据第三段的“the rhythmic contraction that moves food down your intestine”可以推断出peristalsis就相当于crawling，意思是“有节奏的蠕动”。故应选c。

　　59．D【解析】根据文章最后一段“wheeled robots require a smooth surface and are difficult to miniaturize”，作者说轮式的机器人在救人的时候，需要一个光滑的平面，而且很难稳定。文章并没有说它不能救人。故应选D。

　　短文赏析

　　石油输出国组织在3月份决定减少原油供应，原油价格立即猛涨了3倍。本周伊拉克暂停石油出口，这使得油价又一次上扬。强劲的经济增长势头，随着北半球冬季的到来，有可能在短期内使石油价格涨得更高。但是人们并不恐慌，这是因为现在多数国家的原油价格占汽油价格的份额要小很多，发达国家对石油的依赖性也不如从前，因此对油价的波动也就不会那么敏感了。另外一个原因是，与20世纪70年代不同，这次油价上升并不是发生在普遍的物价暴涨及全球需求过旺背景之下。

　　答案及解析

　　61．B 【解析】文章的第二句中“Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March，the price of crude oil has jumped to almost$26 a barrel，?”，说明油价上涨是由于石油输出国组织最近的减少供应导致的。故应选B。

　　62．D【解析】文章第三段第二、三句“In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the l970s．In Europe?．”指出原油价格只是汽油价格中的一小部分，以欧洲的例子说明税收高达汽油零售价的五分之四，所以汽油税上升会造成油价的大幅度上涨。故应选D。

　　63．D【解析】文章第四段第五句“The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that．its oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year，．．．this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0．25—0．5％of GDP．”说明现在这种情况下，油价的上涨所带来的影响只是在0．25—0．5％之间。这表明在富裕国家石油价格的变化不会对GDP(国内生产总值)产生重大影响。故应选D。

　　64．A【解析】文章第三段第一句话“Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the1970s．”表明这次的油价上涨不会像以前那样带来严重的后果。从文章最后一段“0ne more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that，?”来看，我们不会为石油价格的上涨而失眠，也说明了这次的上涨影响不会很大。故应选A。

　　65．A【解析】文章第三段第一句“Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the l970s．”和第四段第一句都指出“Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were，and SO less sensitive to swings in the oil price．”也就是说各国有很好的理由盼望现在的经济前景会比二十世纪七十年代的情况乐观。发达国家对石油的依赖性较以前有所下降，因而对石油价格变动的敏感度也降低，这些都表明作者是持有乐观态度的。故应选A。

　　Part B(每小题2分。共计10分)

　　短文赏析

　　孩提时代的快乐是神奇的，无穷无尽的，但是到了青少年时代，快乐就稍稍变了样子，种种烦恼开始出现，而成年之后，快乐就变得更加复杂，不再能够简单定义。作者认为，快乐应该被定义为享受的能力。我们应当能够从一切中得到乐趣，看到自己的幸福所在。每个人都有不同的快乐之源．与他人闲聊、接听电话、开快车等，都可能给不同的人带来快乐的感觉。心理学家说追求快乐应该能够放松，工作满意。作者认为，拥有金钱并不一定会带来快乐，快乐与否取决于个人对人生的态度和看待生活的方式，只有享受周围的一切才能与快乐相会。

　　答案及解析

　　66．C 【解析】文章第二段讲的是“In the teenage years”的事，故第三段顺理成章应讲“In adulthood?”。

　　67．E【解析】此空下段首词为“later”，而E中有“First”而且叙述内容一致。

　　68．A【解析】由此空上一段的“?one friend said?”可知此处应为：Another衔end?。

　　69．F【解析】此空上两段为作者及她朋友对幸福的诠释，所以此空应为总结。

　　70．D【解析】由此空上下两段可知只有D放在此处才能使上下文连贯。

　　Part C(每小题1分。共计l0分)

　　短文赏析

　　A 本文介绍了一种新的赛车游戏——摩托穿越疯狂2号，堪称最为有趣的摩托模拟。新游戏的赛车环境、游戏模式、线条绘制都比以前的版本更进一步。给玩家以无限的刺激感。而新游戏的缺点是它对于硬件的要求比较高，三维显卡、高频率、大内存都是必备的条件。但是，各种新的玩法、身，临其境的感觉、弯道场景的设计使人爱不释手。大空间、高特技、开放环境、挑战式的弯转动作使得新游戏有了以前版本无可匹敌的优越之处。

　　C 本文介绍了一种名为化妆舞会救赎的游戏，白狼游戏制作室制作的这一游戏是第一个以骰子和纸为基础的电脑角色扮演游戏。虽然比起书上的记述来说游戏中吸血鬼的门徒有很多缺点，比如活动不方便、变形困难等，但是这些缺点却丝毫不影响游戏的进行，游戏的声音、图像和情节都能带来吸血鬼故事中的恐怖感。单玩家模式可以使您投入克里斯托弗的故事情节中去，多玩家模式可以通过当地局域网络和因特网来完成。而且你还可以让其他玩家进入你的故事当中。虽然这个游戏对于硬盘空间要求较大，但是游戏本身却充满乐趣，值得追捧。

　　D 本文介绍了一种最流行的网络动作游戏一反恐。这种游戏可以让游戏者单独完成某项反恐任务，也可以组队来完成。Xbox提供目前最逼真的地图视觉游戏，展示了高科技水平，同时，游戏者还可以通过Xbox Live的通讯系统或耳机来与队友组织交流战略。逼真的反恐场景。真实的装备使游戏更富吸引力。新版游戏还可以通过Xbox Live下栽。

　　Section IV Writing(计25分。权重25％】

　　One possible version:

　　People have different opinions on the effect of television on children. Some think that it is good for children to watch

　　TV while others believe that television is bad for children. In my opinion, most of the effect TV has on children is bad.

　　By the time children reach school, they have spent up to one-third of their waking hours in front of the television. Because they just sit back and let things happen to them while watching TV, they become passive. As we all know, children are inventive and they have the ability to imagine a whole world of their own. But what happens when their imagination is not needed, when TV does all the imagination for them? Obviously, these kids are not going to grow up as inventive and imaginative as their parents, for they have been robbed of creative impulses by television watching.

　　On one hand, TV watching also forces kids into becoming consumers and then tricks them. They are surrounded by ads for dangerous toys, mind-less games, and unhealthy foods. They force their parents to buy them, for the children themselves are not wise enough to detect the falsity of so much advertising. On the other hand, by watching too much TV, children are over ex-posed to violence. They watch programs like murders, fights and many other crimes for hours every week, with no adult around to tell them that life is not like that. The effect of the heavy dose of violence is to suggest kids that violence is an ordinary way of life, and that slugging, shooting and cheating are ways to succeed.

　　The total effect of TV on children is dangerous. It is time for parents to take charge and supervise their children's play instead of parking them by the tube and hoping it will act as a baby-sitter. The influence of TV is so important that parents will have to be on their guard to make sure that their children are not being harmed by exposure to it.
