30、64.D.$ 440.By the time we had completed our preparations, the sky was beginning to grow rapidly lighter, although the sun was not yet above the horizon. We waited unpatiently, hardly daring to move or to whisper to one another. Suddenly, we heard the quick beating of wings and one of the birds we we
31、re looking for flew up from the valley beyond. He flied straight to the tree and settled on a thin branch, stripped bare of leaves, which grew diagonally upwards from the main trunk. Immediately he began to clean himself, combing with his beak the long soft feathers which grew from beneath his wings
32、 and extended past his tail in a glorious red cloud. Charless camera, on a trial run, sounded unexcepted loud, but the bird took no notice and continued with his cleaning until at last he drew himself up and shook himself. Then, head held high, he called a single, loud, sharp note which resounded ov
33、er the valley. He seemed in no hurry to begin his dance, as he continued to call for a quarter of an hour. Two other birds flew from the valley and settled in other parts of the tree. They were hens, uninteresting brown creatures, which, attracted by his call, had come to watch his dance. He paid no
34、 attention to them, and continued his unmusical cries, occasionally cleaning some more feathers. The hens kept silent, moving from branch to branch. Once one of them drew too near his dancing ground, but he beat his wings and she drew back. His calls began to increase frequently, and I carefully fix
35、ed the recording machine so that they produced the highest reading on the scale. With electrifying suddenness, the bird lowered his head and throwing his fine tail feather over his back, he ran down his branch, a shaking flame of color, making his loud love cries. Up and down the branch he danced in
36、 a state of wild excitement. After half a minute he seemed to get out of breath, for his cries stopped and he danced silently. （分数：1.00）(1).The writer of this passage wanted to_.（分数：0.20）A.take a photograph of the birdB.make a recording of the birds callsC.catch the birdD.watch the sunrise(2).The pa

Good cards will help those who have them to have a long and healthy existence, whil
40、e bad cards will bring to those who have them terrible diseases like high blood pressure and heart disease. Occasionally, cards are dealt out that doom their holders to an early death. In the past, people never knew exactly which cards they had been dealt. They could guess at the future only by look
41、ing at the kind of health problems experienced by their parents or grandparents. Genetic testing, which makes it possible to find dangerous genes, has changed all this. But, until recently, if you were tested positive for a bad gene you were not obliged to reveal this to anyone else except in a few
42、extreme circumstances. This month, however, Britain became the first country in the world to allow life insurers to ask for test results. So far, approval has been given only for a test for a fatal brain disorder known as Huntingtons disease. But ten other tests (for seven diseases) are already in u
43、se and are awaiting similar approval. The independent body that gives approval, the Department of Healths genetics and insurance committee, does not have to decide whether the use of genetic information in insurance is ethical. It must judge only whether the tests are reliable to insurers. In the ca
44、se of Huntingtons disease the answer is clear-cut. People unlucky enough to have this gene will die early, and cost life insurers dearly. This is only the start. Clear-cut genetic answers, where a gene is simply and directly related to a persons risk of death, are uncommon. More usually, a group of
45、genes is associated with the risk of developing a common disease, dependent on the presence of other genetic or environmental factors. But, as tests improve, it will become possible to predict whether or not a particular individual is at risk. In the next few years researchers will discover more and
46、 more about the functions of individual genes and what health risks or benefits are associated with them. （分数：1.00）(1).The word “cards“ in Line 1 refers to_.（分数：0.20）A.diseasesB.genesC.problemsD.tests(2).The function of genetic testing is to_.（分数：0.20）A.enable people to change genesB.help people to
