We all know that DNA has the ability to identify individuals but, because it is inherited, there are also regions of the DNA strand which can relate an individual to his or her family ( immediate and extended), tribal group and even an entire population. Molecular Genealogy(宗谱学) can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees. Pedigrees(家谱) based on such genetic markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees where information is incomplete or missing due to adoption, illegitimacy or lack of records. There are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragic events such as the fire in the Irish courts during Civil War in 1921 or American slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place.

The main objective of the Molecular Genealogy Research Group is to build a database containing over 100,000 DNA samples from individuals all over the world. These individuals will have provided a pedigree chart of at least four generations and a small blood sample. Once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. Theoretically, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family origins through this database.

In the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular genealogy can already verify possible or suspected relationships between individuals. "For example, if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related, but no written record proves this relationship, we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for common markers( in this case we can look primarily at the Y chromosome(染色体)) ," explains Ugo Perego a member of the BYU Molecular Genealogy research team.

People in a large area may possess the same DNA thread because __________.

A.DNA is characteristic of a region

B.they are beyond doubt of common ancestry

C.DNA strand has the ability to identify individuals

D.their unique identification can be provided via DNA

12、 The possible research of family trees is based on the fact that __________.

A.genetics has achieved a breakthrough

B.genetic information contained in DNA can be revealed now

C.each individual carries a unique record of who he is and how he is related to others

D.we can use DNA to prove how distant an individual is to a family, a group or a population

13、 The Molecular Genealogy Research Group is building a database for the purpose of __________.

A.offering assistance in working out genealogy-related problems

B.solving many issues without relying on traditional written records

C.providing a pedigree chart of at least four generations in the world

D.confirming the assumption that all individuals are of the same origin

14、 If two men suspected for some reason they have a common ancestor, __________.

A.we can decide according to their family tree

B.we can find the truth from their genetic markers

C.we can compare the differences in their Y chromosome

D.we can look for written records to prove their relationship

15、 Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage?

Harriet Beecher Stowe had poured her heart into her anti-slavery book," Uncle Tom's Cabin". But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success. The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buy a new silk dress.

But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1602, they sold out in two days. In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and 150,000 in England. For a while it outsold(销的比...多) every book in the world, except the Bible.

Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained America's most popular play for 55 years.

It might appear that" Uncle Tom's Cabin" was universally popular, but this was certainly not true. Many people during those pre-civil War days-particularly defenders of the slavery system-condemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama(传奇剧作品).

Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery ( When asked how she came to write the book, she replied," God wrote it."), and she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so perhaps the book could be considered propaganda. But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery.

Though she was born in Connecticut, 1582, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when her father accepted the presidency of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary(神学院). Ohio was a free state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in action. She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college. In 1601, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.

Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system. Today some historians(历史学家) think that it helped bring on the American Civil War.

In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said,

"So, this is the little lady who started this big war."

Before the publication of the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" __________.

A.Harriet knew that it would be a great success

B.the publisher wanted Harriet to publish it at her own expense

C.nobody knew that it would become a very popular book

D.no publisher wanted to publish this anti-slavery book

17、 Some people did not like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" chiefly because__________.

A.the author was merely an unknown little lady

B.they thought it was mere propaganda

C.the book was poorly written

D.the book might lead to a terrible war

18、 Harriet Beecher Stowe was able to describe the evils of slavery because __________.

A.she had lived for 18 years in a state where slavery was legal

B.she had suffered quite a lot under the slavery system

C.she had witnessed what happened under the slavery system

D.she had read a lot about the slavery system

19、 When Abraham Lincoln called Harriet "the little lady who started this big war", he __________.

A.thought that she was almost a war criminal

B.was talking about the great influence her book had produced

C.was blaming her for the miseries the people had suffered during the war

D.was praising her for the contributions she had made during the war

20、 The writer wrote the passage in order to __________.

A.expose the evils of the slavery system

B.condemn all kinds of war

C.describe people' s life in Harriet' s time

D.tell us how Harriet wrote her famous book

No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him-water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.

People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.

The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you to read. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictionary is your most useful book.

From this passage, we know that________

A.man never made sounds

B.man made animal sounds

C.man used to be like animals to make sounds

D.man learned from the animals to make sounds

Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna (天线 ). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. "What we showed is glucose(葡萄糖metabolism(代谢)( a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna," said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.

Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation (电磁辐射)from cellphones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cellphones cause cancer. "This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures. " Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1955s, with about 5billion cell phones now in use worldwide.

Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.

Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. " Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation," Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U. S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. "Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects." They wrote.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.Cell phone use is dangerous.

B.Cell phone use causes cancer.

C.The human brain is an electromagnetic field.

D.There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now.

27、 Doctor Volkow was astonished because_______

A.her research has shed light on her understanding of cell phone

B.she found that cell phone exposure is harmful to human brain

C.she found that using a cell phone for about 50 minutes could influence or change brain activity

D.human brain is not responsive to electromagnetic radiation

28、 According to the passage, cell phones were launched_______

A.in the late 1970s

B.between 1955 and 1960

C.in the late 1955s

D.in the early 1990s

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWERSHEET.

61、Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity. And it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same style, since that is what the public seems to want and to enjoy. But in time, the performer becomes bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of playing the same character repeatedly.

62、Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "How I Finance My College Education". You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:
