But there will be others as well. Here is one
24、of tile remarkable therapies on the cutting edge of genetic research that could make their way into 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 r
25、eason: the last thing you want for your brain cells is to start churning out stomach acid or your nose 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 u
26、ntapped potential could be a terrific boon to medicine. Most diseases involve the death of healthy cells - 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 furn
27、ish patients with healthy replacement tissues.It was incredibly difficult, but last fall scientists at 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; bu
28、t if efforts to understand and master stem-cell development prove successful, doctors will have a therapeutic 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 several years ago, involves taking a
29、developed cell and reactivating the genome within, resetting its developmental instructions to a pristine state. Once that happens, the Urejuvenated/U cell can develop into a full fledged animal, genetically identical to its parent.For agriculture, in which purely physical characteristics like milk
30、production in a cow or low fat in a hog have real market value, biological carbon copies could become routine within a few years. This past year scientists have done for mice and cows what Ian Wilmut did for Dolly, and other creatures are bound to join the cloned menagerie in the coming year.Human c
31、loning, on the other hand, may be technically feasible but legally and emotionally more difficult. Still, one 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 heal
32、thy body tissues of all sorts, and thus to Cure diseases. That could prove to be a true “miracle cure“.（分数：5.00）(1).The writer holds that the potential to make healthy body tissues will _.（分数：1.00）A.aggravate moral issues of human cloningB.bring great benefits to human beingsC.help scientists decode
33、 body instructionsD.involve employing surgical instruments(2).The word “rejuvenated“ (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means _.（分数：1.00）A.modifiedB.re-collectedC.classifiedD.reactivated(3).The aim of the research at the University of Wisconsin is _.（分数：1.00）A.to isolate stem cells and to get them grow
34、 into different cellsB.to show the effects of gene therapiesC.to show us the advantages of human cloningD.to test the limitations of tissue replacements(4).Which of the following is true according to the text?（分数：1.00）A.The principle of gene therapy is applicable to that of cloning.B.The isolation o

36、D.oppositionBText 2/BOurs is a world in which no individual, and no country, exits in isolation. All of us live simultaneously in our own communities and in the world at large. The same icons, whether on a movie screen or computer screen, are recognizable from Berlin to Bangalore. We are all influen
37、ced by the same tides of political, social and technological change. Pollution, organized crime and tile proliferation of deadly weapons likewise show little regard for the niceties of borders; they are “problems without passports“. We are connected, wired, interdependent.Much of this is nothing new
38、 human beings have interacted across the planet for centuries. But todays “globalization“ is different. It is happening more rapidly. And it is governed by different rules or, in some cases, by no rules at all. Globalization is bringing us new choices and opportunities. It is making us more familiar
39、 with global diversity. Yet, millions of people experience it not as an agent of progress, but as a disruptive force that can destroy lives, jobs and traditions.Faced with the potential good of globalization as well as its risks, faced with the persistence of deadly conflicts in which civilians are
40、the primary targets, faced with the pervasiveness of poverty and injustice, we must be able to identify the areas where collective action is needed to safeguard global interests. Local communities have their fire departments and town councils. Nations have their courts and legislatures. But in today
41、s globalized world, the mechanisms available for global action are hardly more than Uembryonic/U. It is high time we gave more concrete meaning to the idea of the “international community“.What makes a community? What binds it together? For some it is faith. For others it is the defense of an idea,
42、such as democracy. Some communities are homogeneous, others multicultural. Some are as small as schools and villages; others as large as continents. Specifically, what binds us into an international community? In the broadest sense there is a shared vision of a better world for all people, as set ou
43、t, for example, in the founding Charter of the United Nations. There is our sense of common vulnerability in the face of global warming and the spread of weapons of mass destruction. There is the framework of international law, treaties and human-rights conventions. There is equally our sense of sha
44、red opportunity, which is why we build common markets and joint institutions such as the United Nations. Together, we are stronger.（分数：5.00）(1).The writers general attitude towards the world is that _.（分数：1.00）A.each individual lives independently in the worldB.different countries are all under the
45、influence of the world developmentC.we each have problems in spite of our friendly relationship with each otherD.people like to enjoy each others images on a movie screen or a computer screen(2).What does the author say about globalization today?（分数：1.00）A.It has long existed for centuries.B.It help
46、s us to learn differences of the world.C.It destroys our traditions.D.Both B and C.(3).Why do we build common markets and joint institutions?（分数：1.00）A.Because the mechanisms are available for global action.B.Because we have to protect our global interests.C.Because we think we are equal to share ne
47、w choices and opportunities.D.Because we are faced with few global risks, deadly conflicts and little poverty and injustice.(4).The word “embryonic“ in paragraph 3 means _.（分数：1.00）A.in an early stageB.like a young animalC.at a developed timeD.destructive(5).Which of the following best summarises the text?（分数：1.00）A.Globalization needs global action.B.
