26、（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biologi cal engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes its a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious disea
27、ses that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cur
28、ed completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命)can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to
29、more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial(皇帝的)family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的)diseases.

In the past few years, scien
31、tists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned.

Fort
37、unately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades often hold back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to go in for music, drama and sports. Grades are
38、also an unfair measure of a student s ability. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do believe that less importance should be placed on. grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional(可选择的) at Village High School.Magdalena Smith, Presi
39、dentDrama Club(2)Let s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions(功能). First, grades get students to work at their highest level of competence (能力). Second, they act as an encouragement for hard-working students and as a warming to those who are not. Finally, grades are an eff
40、ective standard by which to measure students achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.Ive spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will he
41、lp me into university next year.

44、ades are still in use at present.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What are the two letters mainly about?A. The role that grades should play in assessing students.B. The importance of art and music in students life.C. The need to have a standard measure for students success.D. The reasons why grades shouldnt be
45、used to assess students.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and experience? Strangely enough， the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent, persons intelligence is fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches thos
46、e limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence
47、. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随意地) from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, paren
48、ts and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. W
49、e should soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion isalso suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.（分数：12.00）(1).The writer is in favor of the view that man s intelligence is given to himA. at birth B. through educationC. both at birth and through education
