15、 letter on ANSWER SHEET I./BBPassage One/BSince the early 1980s, scientists have revealed some 40 human genes involved in cancer. These genes are essential for normal growth, but can be subverted to cause a tumor.Dr. Jorge Yunis of the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis has found
16、that 70 percent of oncogenes, or cancer-causing genes, are located near inherited weak points on chromosomes(染色体). Varying from individual to individual, vulnerable to chemical carcinogens(致癌剂) ,X rays and other cancer-inducing agents.“If a chromosome snaps apart in the immediate vicinity of an onco
17、gene,“ says Yunis, “normal genetic control mechanisms could break down and the stage would be set for the formation of cancer.“ Younis hag shown that such a sequence occurs at the beginning of numerous leukemias (白血病), lymphomas (淋巴瘤) and some tumors of the lung, colon (结肠) and breast.Yunis and Othe
18、r investigators have found that petroleum-based products-notably pesticides and insecticides-damage specific sites on at least two of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes that carry genetic information. Similarly, tobacco smoke tends to attack a part of another chromosome.（分数：12.00）(1).From paragraph 1
19、, we know that some 40 genes involving in cancer are _.（分数：3.00）A.harmful to the human bodyB.necessary to the human bodyC.the elements that form cancerD.useless to the human body(2).Where are most likely to be affected by caner-inducing agents according to the passage?（分数：3.00）A.The lung.B.The colon
20、.C.The chromosomes.D.The breast.(3).According to the context, the word in “oncogenes“ in para. 2 means _.（分数：3.00）A.genes that can kill cancerB.genes that will lead to leukemiaC.viruses that can kill AIDSD.genes that will lead to cancer(4).Under what conditions will the formation of cancer begin?（分数
21、：3.00）A.When a chromosome breaks apart neat an oncogene and its control functions fail.B.When people drink too much and are easy to get tired.C.When people smoke too much and are difficult to get to sleep.D.When people eat too much petroleum-based products.BPassage Two/BYour mind like your body is a
22、 thing where the powers are developed by effort. This is a principal use, as I see it, of hard work in studies. Unless you train your body you cant be a good sportsman, and unless you train your mind you cant be much of a scholar. The four mi- les a boatman covers at top speed is in itself nothing t
23、o the good, but the physical capacity to hold out over the distance is thought to be of some value. So a good part of what you learn by hard study may not be retained forever, and may not seem to be of much final value, but your mind is a better and more powerful instrument because you have learned
24、it. “Knowledge is power,“ but still more the ability of acquiring and using knowledge is power. If you have a trained and powerful mind, you are bound to have stored it with something, its value is more in what it can do, what it can grasp and use, than in what it contains; and if it were possible,
25、as it is not, to come out of college with a trained mind and nothing useful in it, you would still be ahead, and still, in a manner, educated.（分数：12.00）(1).The title that best expresses the main idea of this passage is _.（分数：3.00）A.Knowledge Is PowerB.How to Retain and Use KnowledgeC.Physical and Me
26、ntal EffortsD.The Trained Mind Is What One Needs(2).In his example the author tells his readers that _.（分数：3.00）A.it is important to build up ones physical capacityB.it is no good having much physical trainingC.it is more important to know ones capacity than to win the raceD.it is important to have
27、physical training while one trains his mind(3).The author emphasizes that many of the facts you acquire by hard study _.（分数：3.00）A.deal with rules of healthB.will be forgottenC.are of no valueD.will be very useful(4).The man leaving college with a trained mind _.（分数：3.00）A.is certain to succeedB.is
28、successful in his studiesC.is considered an educated personD.can grasp any problemBPassage Three/BNursing at Beth Israel Hospital the best patient care possible, If we are to solve the nursing shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israels example.At Be
29、th Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patients illness but which also includes everythi
30、ng else that is necessary.The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization, keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth larael is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his
31、doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized nursing administration; Every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurse; in addition to their medical duti
32、es they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each units nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.Beth Israels nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She also is a member of the
33、Medical Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.（分数：12.00）(1).Which of the following best characterizes the main feature of the nursing system at Beth Israel Hospital?（分数：3.00）A.The doctor gets more active professional support from the primary nurse.B.Each patient is taken
34、 care of by a primary nurse day and night.C.The primary nurse writes care plans for every patient.D.The primary nurse keeps records of the patients health conditions every day.(2).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：3.00）A.compared with other hospitals nurses at Beth Israel Hospital are m
35、ore patientB.in most hospitals patient care is inadequate from the professional point of viewC.in most hospitals nurses get low salariesD.compared with other hospitals, nurses have to work longer hours at Beth Israel Hospital.(3).A primary nurse can propose a different approach of treatment when _.（
36、分数：3.00）A.the present one is refused by the patientB.the patient complains about the present oneC.the present one proves to be ineffectiveD.the patient is found unwilling to cooperate(4).The main difference between a nurse-manager and a head nurse is that the former _.（分数：3.00）A.is a member of the M
37、edical Executive Committee of the hospitalB.has to arrange the work shifts of the units nursesC.can make decisions concerning the medical treatment of a patientD.has full responsibility in the administration of the units nursesBPassage Four/BEven plants can run a fever, especially when theyre under
38、attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet awaystraight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the t
39、emperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers pre-cisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which in- variably includes plants that dont have pest (害虫) problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company cou
40、ld detect crop problems be- fore they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infra- red scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-code map showing where plants were running“ fevers“. Farmers could then spot-spray, using
41、 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrar
42、ed scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States“, says George Oerther of Texas A here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant.“ It was in
43、America, therefore, that the great advances in nine-teenth-century agricultural machinery first came. At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carded practically all of the existing agricultural implements (家具) on their backs; by 1860, most of the machine
44、ry in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would hav
45、e none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel (冷淬钢) plow.（分数：12.00）(1).What is the main topic of the passage?（分数：3.00
46、）A.The need for agricultural advances to help feed a growing population.B.The development of safer machines demanded by the labor movement.C.Machinery that contributed to the agricultural revolution.D.New Jersey as a leader in the agricultural revolution.(2).The expression “make the most of“ in Line
47、 4 is closest in meaning to which of the following?（分数：3.00）A.Get the best yield from.B.Raise the price of.C.Exaggerate the worth of.D.Earn a living on.(3).Which of the following can be inferred from what Thomas Jefferson said?（分数：3.00）A.Europe was changing more quickly than America.B.Europe had gre
48、ater need of farm machinery than America did.C.America was finally running out of good farmland.D.There was a shortage of workers on American farms.(4).What point is the author making by stating that farmers could carry nearly all their tools on their backs?（分数：3.00）A.Farmers had few tools before the agricultural revolutions.B.Americans were traditionally self-reliant.C.life on the farm was extremely difficult.D.New tools were designed to the portable.五、B Daily Convers(总题数：1，分数：15.00)B Directions: Pick out the appropriate expre
