31、) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer
32、 space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to
33、 explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called rem . Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a per
34、son may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, t
35、he Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in
36、a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.（分数：3.00）(1).We know from the passage that _.A. exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC. radiation i

39、 baby is dealt a genetic hand of cards which helps to determine how long he or she will be allowed to play the game of life. There are good cards, which predispose those who have them to a long and healthy existence, and there are bad cards, which predispose people to high blood pressure, say, or he
40、art disease. Occasionally, cards are dealt out that doom their holders to an early death. In the past, people never knew exactly which cards in other words, which genes they had been dealt. They could guess at the future only by looking at the kind of health problems experienced by their parents or
41、grandparents.Genetic testing, which makes it possible to probe for dangerous genes, has changed all this. But, until recently, if you tested positive for a bad gene, you were not obliged to reveal this to anyone else except in a few extreme circumstances. This month, however, Britain became the firs
42、t 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 use and are awaiting similar approval.The independent body that gives
43、 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 believable to insurers. In the case of Huntingtons disease the answer is clear-cut. People unlucky en
44、ough 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 genes is associated with the risk of developing a common disease, dependent on the presence of other genetic or environmental fac
