After meeting with patients, doctors typically jot【 C2】 _notes on a range of topics, from musings about possible diagnoses to observations about【

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 50 “Junk science“

20、is how Elliot Morley, Britains minister responsible for genetically modified farming, describes studies that claim GM crops would be hazardous to Britains wildlife and consumers. This week the government granted permission for a strain of GM maize to be grown commercially as cattle feed. That has in

21、censed environmentalists and organic farmers, who say GM is unpopular(probably correct)and based on bad science(probably not). Three years of field testing have shown the herbicide-resistant maize, Bayers Chardon LL, to be safe and even kinder to the environment than non-GM maize. Two other crops on

22、 trial a GM sugar-beet and a GM oilseed rape will not be grown because they were worse for biodiversity(weeds)than conventional strains. The trials have not made the worries about introducing even a safe GM crop go away, though. Opponents say GM will stealthily take over the country by cross-pollina

23、tion, will damage wildlife and introduce something nasty into the human food chain. How solid is all this? Evidence from America, which planted 105. 7m acres of biotech crops in 2003, suggests concerns are overblown. In practice it is easy to separate crops and prevent them from cross-pollinating. E

24、ven oilseed rape, which is particularly promiscuous, can be kept over 99% pure if it is a hundred metres away from another plantation. Cross-pollination probably will happen, but so far it has caused no problems: genetic material in plants changes all the time through sexual reproduction anyway. Dam

25、age to wildlife is difficult to measure, but there is evidence that GM has had a positive effect, with birds and insects returning to GM cotton plantations in America. Certainly, GM crops tend to need fewer chemicals to protect them. Monsanto says its sugarbeet, which was on trial along with the Cha

26、rdon maize, requires 46% less herbicide than a conventional strain. Supposed threats to consumers, whether human or animal, are the most flaky. One recent study appeared to show that Chardon maize could be fatal to cattle, but the heifer in question in fact died from botulism. The British Medical As

27、sociation now says there is “very little potential for GM foods to cause harmful health effects“ in people either. People have been eating the stuff in America for years, with no ill effects so far. The messing around with genetic material that makes some people dislike GM crops has gone on for year

28、s in conventional plant breeding, where crops are exposed to radiation and chemicals to encourage them to mutate. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, over 2, 000 types of crop have been bombarded with gamma rays to produce mutants, many of which are grown by organic farmer

29、s. “ All food is frankenfood, “ according to Professor Howard Dalton, chief scientific adviser to the Department for Food and Rural Affairs, “but everybodys got used to it. “ Maybe everybody will get used to GM soon, too. 51 According to the British government, （ A） genetically modified farming can

30、be described as junk science. （ B） GM crops pose hazards to Britains wildlife and consumers. （ C） GM food is not favored by the public. （ D） a kind of GM crop will be grown as animal feed. 52 Field testing in America has shown that （ A） non-GM crops are more environment-friendly than GM crops. （ B）

31、concerns over the threats of GM crops are exaggerated. （ C） GM crops pose serious threats to biodiversity. （ D） cross-pollination has introduced nasty species into the human food chain. 53 The following statements are true EXCEPT （ A） GM crops are good to wildlife in America. （ B） conventional crops

32、 require more chemicals for protection. （ C） one study shows that GM crops are harmful to animals. （ D） GM foods have done no harm to Americans. 54 According to the author, conventional crop breeding has （ A） been for a long time exposed to radiation. （ B） proved much safer than GM crop breeding. （

33、C） never been messed around with genetic material. （ D） produced no ill effects on people so far. 55 What is the authors attitude towards GM crops? （ A） Disapproving. （ B） Neutral. （ C） Positive. （ D） Suspicious. 55 There was a time in the late 17 th century when no respectable monarch would be seen

34、 without a guitar. Both Louis XIV and Charles II were dab hands. And the future Queen Anne thought a guitar tutor was worth an annual stipend of 100, which was a small fortune then. The instrument had seen revivals in the early 19th century and the early 20th, when its place in the concert hall was

35、finally secured by Andres Segovia. A further decade in the sun in the 1970s resulted from the maturity of two gifted young guitarists: Julian Bream and John Williams. But in the past three decades, this subtle musical voice has grown quieter and quieter. Until now, Deutsche Gramophon has signed its

36、first classical guitarist in years. Milos Karadaglics debut CD of Mediterranean repertoire is out this month and includes pieces by two popular composers. The 27-year-old Montenegrin blames the pop world for his instruments demise. “With the invention of the electric guitar, the instrument stopped b

37、eing intimate and started to reach out into wider audiences, “ he explains. “These technological advances resulted in the core classical guitar repertoire fading away. The guitars popularity within pop detracted from its popularity within the classical world. “ But the electric-guitar did not blow i

38、ts classical cousin out the water. In the 20th century, interest in the older, more refined instrument waxed and waned. Why? One theory puts it down to economics. The two decades that saw the classical guitar thrive were decades of recession the 1930s and the 1970s. Now, during another financial cri

39、sis, the classical guitars intimate strains seem again to be offering a spiritual succor in straitened times. Mr. Karadaglic thinks the reason for the latest upward interest may be simpler: an attempt by man to escape the technological flimflammery of the modern world. “ Advanced technologies are ta

40、king away our privacy, “ he argues, “ so another cycle is starting. People are now realizing the beauty in things that are pure and natural. “ And no instrument can compete in these stakes better than the guitar, whose every sound is made sensitively and directly by the hands: “The honesty of this w

41、ay of music-making makes the guitar supreme. Its so personal and delicate. “ The guitar has never been collectivized or corralled into an orchestra like the violin. It is the cat of the musical world. And as such, it has developed many divergent traditions. For the first time its most dangerous riva

42、l, the electric guitar, is seeing fashions turn against it. Taste in pop music(heading folkwards)and classical appear to be coming together. So it is the perfect time for the classical guitar to find a new lease of life and a new cycle. 56 The first two paragraphs show that （ A） one guitar would be

43、worth a fortune in Queen Annes period. （ B） Andres Segovia often played the guitar in concert halls. （ C） the guitar was out of favour because of its subtle sound. （ D） the 1970s witnessed another ten years popularity of the guitar. 57 Karadaglic attributes the declining popularity of the classical

44、guitar to （ A） the upsurge of pop music. （ B） the shortage of suitable music. （ C） its intimacy with the audience. （ D） the use of electric guitars. 58 The author tries to find out （ A） if the revival of the guitar was related to economic downturns. （ B） when the classical guitar was defeated in the

45、 pop music world. （ C） how the classical guitar helped people out in economic recessions. （ D） what turned the guitar into an elegant musical instrument. 59 Which of the following statements is NOT true? （ A） People are tired of glaring technological advances in musical instruments. （ B） Competition

46、 in the music world has led to the current revival of the guitar. （ C） The classical guitar is an instrument producing pure and natural music. （ D） A guitarists performance creates a personal touch of the music. 60 The metaphor “It is the cat of the musical world“ in the last paragraph means （ A） a

47、classical guitar is a solo instrument. （ B） a classical guitarist enjoys equal status with a violinist. （ C） a classical guitarist is not used to playing in a band. （ D） the guitar has never been played in front of large audiences. 60 Employees of the Taff Vale Railway Company in South Wales greased

48、 the tracks and cut telegraph wires during a bitter strike in 1900. The next year the House of Lords ruled that their union could be sued for damaging the company. The shock to the union movement inspired the Labour Party and a 1906 Trade Disputes Act, aimed at protecting strikers from such punishme

49、nt through the courts. On May 18th in 2010, leaders of Unite, a trade union, invoked the spirit of Taff Vale after a court injunction stopped a threatened 20-day series of strikes by British Airways cabin crew, 90 percent of whom are Unite members. The judgment, which Unite called an “absolute disgrace“ , hung on a technicality: that the results of the strike ballot had not been relayed correctly to BA staff. The union immediately appealed, and on May 20th had
