The children were given the U U 2 /U /Uof learning to operate a machine so as to get a toy. In order to succeed they had to go throu

The latest data show industrial production falling while the trade deficit soars to record levels. To round off a dis
26、mal week for economic statistics, the Fed (美联储) announced that industrial production fell by 0.2% in December compared with the previous month. That came as a disappointment to economists who had been expecting a small rise. Monthly data are always unreliable, of course; there is always a plausible
27、explanation for unexpectedly bad (or good) news. But nearly all recent economic statistics point to the same conclusion-that Americas recovery remains sluggish and erratic. It could put pressure on the Fed to consider cutting interest rates again when its policymaking committee meets at the end of t
28、he month.The biggest obstacle to healthier economic performance, though, is political. As the Feds chairman, Alan Greenspan, acknowledged in the closing months of 2002, uncertainty about the future is holding both investors and consumers back. The shadowy threat of international terrorism and the mu
29、ch more explicit prospect of a war with Iraq have made many Americans nervous about the future. For businesses still reeling from the speed at which the late-1990s boom turned to slump, the political climate is one more reason to put off investing in new plant and equipment or hiring new staff. For
30、consumers, for so long the mainstay of the American economy, the thrill of the shopping mall seems, finally, to be on the wane.It is hard to put a favorable interpretation on most of the data. But it is important to keep a sense of perspective. Some recent figures look disappointing partly because t
31、hey fall short of over-optimistic forecasts - a persistent weakness of those paid to predict the economic future, no matter how often they are proved wrong. The Fed will be watching carefully for further signs of weakness during the rest of the month. Mr. Greenspan is an avid, even obsessive, consum
32、er of economic data. He has made it clear that the Fed stands ready to reduce interest rates again if it judges it necessary-even after 12 cuts in the past two years. At its last meeting, though, when it kept rates on hold, the Fed signaled that it did not expect to need to reduce rates any further.
33、Monetary policy still offers the best short-term policy response to weak economic activity, and with inflation low the Fed still has scope for further relaxation. President Bushs much-vaunted fiscal stimulus is unlikely to provide appropriate help, and certainly not in a timely way.（分数：10.00）(1).Whi

It shows unreliable signs.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the figure 0.2% in Paragraph 1 indicate? A. Americas economic recovery is still shaky. B. Ec

Investors shortage of capital.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What is the authors attitude toward some recent figures mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. Optimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Worrisome. D. Critical.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(
37、5).How does monetary policy offer help for weak economic activity? A. It can stimulate investment in new plant and equipment. B. It can reduce interest rates so as to stimulate weak economic activity. C. The Fed tries to keep inflation low. D. President Bush can offer appropriate monetary policy.（分数

Here is one of the remarkable therapies on the cutting edge of genetic research that could make their way into
39、mainstream medicine in the coming years.While its 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 no
40、se 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 havent begun to specialize.Yet this untapped potential could be a terrific boon to medicine. Most diseases involve the death of healthy c
41、ells-brain cells in Alzheimers, 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
42、the University of Wisconsin managed to isolate stem cells and get them to grow into neural, gut, muscle and bone cells. The process still cant be controlled, and may have unforeseen limitations. But if efforts to understand and master stem-cell development prove successful, doctors will have a thera
43、peutic tool of incredible power.The same 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 s
44、tate. Once that happens, the rejuvenated cell can develop into a full-fledged 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 market value, biological carbon copies could become routine
45、within a few years. This past year scientists have done for mice and cows what Ian Wilmot did for Dolly, and other creatures are bound to join the cloned menagerie in the coming year.Human cloning, on the other hand, may be technically feasible but legally and emotionally more difficult. Still, one
46、day it will happen. The ability to reset body cells to a pristine, undeveloped state could give doctors exactly the same advantages they would get from stem cells: the potential to make healthy body tissues of all sorts, and thus to cure disease. That could prove to be a true “miracle cure.“（分数：10.0

It is impossible for a cell in your nose to turn into a kidney. C. It is possible to turn out healthy replacement tissues with isolated stem cells. D. There will certainly appear some new kind of clon
