When her son David wa

19、s 2 years old, a pediatrician noticed developmental delays and suspected fragile syndrome, a hereditary form of mental retardation. A lab test confirmed the diagnosis, and the Stephensons spent several years learning to live with it. When David was 6, he visited a neurologist, who scribbled “fragile

20、 X“ on an insurance-company claim form. The company responded promptlyby canceling coverage for the entire family of six. There is no medical treatment for fragile X, and none of David“s siblings had been diagnosed with the condition. “The company didn“t care,“ Stephenson says. “They just saw a posi

21、tive genetic test and said, “You“re out“. “ From the dawn of the DNA era, critics have worried that genetic testing would create a “biological underclass“a population of people whose genes brand them as poor risks for employment, insurance, even marriage. The future is arriving fast. Medical labs ca

22、n now test human cells for hundreds of anomalous genes. Besides tracking rare conditions, some firms now gauge people“s susceptibility to more common scourges. By unmasking inherited mutations in p53 ( main story) and other, genes, the new tests can signal increased risk of everything from breast, c

23、olon and prostate tumors to leukemia. Many of the tests are still too costly for mass marketing, but that will change. And as the Stephensons“ story suggests, the consequences won“t all be benign. “This is bigger than race or sexual orientation,“ says Martha Volner, health-policy director for the Al

24、liance of Genetic Support Groups. “Genetic discrimination is the civil-rights issue of the 21st century.“ No one would argue that genetic tests are worthless. Used properly, they can give people unprecedented power over their lives. Prospective parents who discover they“re silent carriers of the gen

25、e for a disease can make better-in formed decisions about whether and how to have kids. Some genetic maladies can be managed through medication and lifestyle changes once they“re identified. And while knowing that you“re at special risk for cancer may be an emotional burden, it can also alert you to

26、 the need for intensive monitoring. Jane Gorrell knows her family is prone to colon cancer. Her father developed hundreds of precancerous polyps back in the 1960s, and both she and her sister had the same experience during the “70s. Their condition, has since been linked to a mutation in the p53 gen

27、eand Gorrell has learned, that one of her two children inherited it. Though the child has suffered no symptoms, she gets frequent colon exams and is helping researchers test a drug that could help save lives. The catch is that no one can guarantee the privacy of genetic information. Outside of large

28、 group plans, insurance companies often scour people“s medical records before extending coverage. And though employers face some restriction, virtually any company with a benefits program can get access to workers“ health data. So can schools, adoption agencies and the military. Employees of Lawrenc

29、e Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), a large research institution owned by the Department of Energy and operated by the University of California, recently discovered that the organization had for three decades been quietly testing new hires blood and urine samples for evidence of various conditions. “I can“

30、t say the information was put to some incredibly harmful use, because we don“t know what happened,“ says Vicki Laden, a San Francisco lawyer who has tried unsuccessfully to sue the lab for civil fights violations. LBL recently stopped the testing.（分数：12.50）(1).In the sentence“There is no medical tre

31、atment for fragile X, and none of David“s siblings had been diagnosed with the condition.“( para.1 ), the word “siblings“ means_.（分数：2.50）A.parentsB.grandparentsC.ancestorsD.brothers or sisters(2).According to the passage, what will be the new human rights phenomenon occurring in the new century?（分数

32、：2.50）A.A negative genetic test.B.Unmasking inherited mutations.C.Race or sexual orientation.D.Genetic discrimination.(3).From the passage, we can infer that_.（分数：2.50）A.people believe genetic tests are useful when they are properly usedB.prospective parents are reluctant to discover that they“re si

33、lent carriers of the gene for a diseaseC.if some genetic diseases are managed through medication, lifestyle will not changeD.if a father has no risk for cancer, his son will certainly has no cancer either(4).What can be concluded from the last paragraph?（分数：2.50）A.LBL recently stopped the testing.B.

34、The privacy of genetic information can not be guaranteed.C.The information must be put to some incredibly harmful use.D.A San Francisco lawyer has tried to sue the lab for civil rights violations, but he isn“t successful.(5).What is the author“s attitude to the genetic tests?（分数：2.50）A.Positive.B.Ne

35、gative.C.Interrogative.D.Indifferent.More than ten years ago, Ingmar Bergman announced that the widely acclaimed Fanny and Alexander would mark his last hurrah as a filmmaker. Although some critics had written him off as earnest but ponderous, others were saddened by the departure of an artist who h

36、ad explored cinematic moodsfrom high tragedy to low comedyduring his four-decade career. What nobody foresaw was that Bergman would find a variety of ways to circumvent his own retirementdirecting television movies, staging theater productions, and writing screenplays for other filmmakers to direct.

37、 His latest enterprise as a screenwriter, Sunday“s Children, completes a trilogy of family-oriented movies that began with Fanny and Alexander and continued with The Best Intentions written by Bergman and directed by Danish filmmaker Bille August. Besides dealing with members of Bergman“s family in

38、bygone timesit begins a few years after The Best Intentions leaves offthe new picture was directed by Daniel Bergman, his youngest son. Although it lacks the urgency and originality of the elder Bergman“s greatest achievements, such as The Silence and Persona, it has enough visual and emotional inte

39、rest to make a worthy addition to his body of work. Set in rural Sweden during the late 1920s, the story centers on a young boy named Pu, dearly modeled on Ingmar Bergman himself. Pu“s father is a country clergyman whose duties include traveling to the capital and ministering to the royal family. Wh

40、ile this is an enviable position, it doesn“t assuage problems in the pastor“s marriage. Pu is young enough to be fairly oblivious to such difficulties, but his awareness grows with the passage of time. So do the subtle tensions that mar Pu“s own relationship with his father, whose desire to show aff

41、ection and compassion is hampered by a certain stiffness in his demeanor and chilliness in his emotions. The film“s most resonant passages take place when Pu learns to see his father with new clarity while accompanying him on a cross-country trip to another parish. In a remarkable change of tone, th

42、is portion of the story is punctuated with flash-forwards to a time 40 years in the future, showing the relationship between parent and child to be dramatically reversed: The father is now cared for by the son, and desires a forgiveness for past shortcomings that the younger man resolutely refuses t

43、o grant. Brief and abrupt though they are, these scenes make a pungent contrast with the sunny landscapes and comic interludes in the early part of the movie. Sunday“s Children is a film of many levels, and all are skillfully handled by Daniel Bergman in his directional debut. Gentle scenes of domes

44、tic contentment are sensitively interwoven with intimations of underlying malaise. While the more nostalgic sequences are photographed with an eye-dazzling beauty that occasionally threatens to become cloying, any such result is foreclosed by the jagged interruptions of the flash-forward sequencesan

45、 intrusive device that few filmmakers are agile enough to handle successfully, but that is put to impressive use by the Bergman team. Henrik Linnros gives a smartly turned performance as young Pu, and Thommy Berggrenwho starred in the popular Elvira Madigan years agois steadily convincing as his fat

46、her. Top honors go to the screenplay, though, which carries the crowded canvas of Fanny and Alexander and the emotional ambiguity of The Best Intentions into fresh and sometimes fascinating territory.（分数：12.50）(1).Bergman completed a trilogy of family-oriented movies during_.（分数：2.50）A.more than ten

47、 yearsB.the bygone timesC.the late 1920sD.his own retirement(2).Over the years critical reviews of Bergman“s work have_.（分数：2.50）A.without exception been positiveB.deplored his seriousnessC.often been antitheticalD.usually focused on his personality(3).In the reviewer“s opinion, Sunday“s Children_.（

48、分数：2.50）A.is a cinematic firstB.has an original and interesting scriptC.is visually and emotionally depressingD.surpasses Bergman“s previous work(4).The reviewer thinks that the “flash forward“ technique is_.（分数：2.50）A.seldom handled skillfullyB.responsible for the film“s successC.too disruptive for

49、 ordinary filmgoersD.best left to amateur experimentation(5).From the passage we can infer that Pu“s father is portrayed as a_.（分数：2.50）A.demonstrative and caring parentB.reserved and reticent manC.compassionate and sentimental spouseD.spontaneous and dynamic ministerOver the years, Allan Rechtschaffen has killed a lot of rats just by keeping them awake. In his sleep laboratory at the University of Chicago, Rechtschaffen places each rat on an enclosed turntable contraption that begins spinning whenever the rodent“s brain waves suggest it is begin
