27、se the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 After months of fear, loathing, and litigation, the music and consumer-electronics industry decided to try to make beautiful music together. Last week the Secure Digital Music Initiative, a coalition o

28、f 100 music, electronics and high-tech companies announced that it was provisionally blessing a controversial music format known as MP3. Nowadays, more and more young people are fond of music that is played on their portable MP3 players. So this announcement attracted a lot of attention in both the

29、producer and consumer sides. MP3, in case youve lost your abbreviations handbook, is a compression scheme that allows the digital music in CDs to be shrank to a tenth its size and still sound great. MP3 songs are small enough to be traded online, mad they are by the millions to the consternation of

30、record companies, which fear that everything ever released on disc will end up online for free. Traditional records and their sale may be greatly undermined by this new format of music, and for the musics sake, it is better conveyed in this new medium. Thats why the recording industry sued little Di

31、amond Multimedia when it started selling a portable MP3 player last year. Not only did Diamond win in court, but it also sold 100,000 Rios for Christmas, what could the music industry do? They have no choice in their future, their success just depends on how they can cope with the new trend and coop

32、erate with the electronics companies. It couldnt ignore MP3, which has become the format of choice among new bands trying to break in and vets looking for prerelease buzz. So the industry blessed it on one condition: within 18 months, when a standard is adopted that allows piracy-protected music to

33、be sold online, the electronics companies agree to make their players compliant. This can be done as the beneficiaries are already applauding for the new magic MP3 players, which is both convenient and capable of carrying on much more music than conventional walkmans. Whats next? Digitally pirated m

34、ovies. Get ready, Hollywood. 31 The most appropriate title for the passage is_. （ A） I Want My MP3 （ B） Music and Electronics （ C） Piracy along the Way （ D） Movie is the Next 32 According to the passage, what is NOT an advantage of the MP3 format? （ A） The size of music can be shortened to one tenth

35、 of its original size. （ B） The fans can enjoy the music before the formal release of the music. （ C） The new musicians can enter the industry more easily. （ D） The struggle against piracy will be proved difficult. 33 According to the last paragraph, what will happen to Hollywood? （ A） The movies wi

36、ll not worry about the situation in the music field. （ B） The movies can be easily pirated with this new format. （ C） The songs in movies will be recorded in the MP3 format. （ D） The new technology has little to do with the movie industry. 34 In the second paragraph, the word “consternation“ (Line 3

37、) is closest in meaning to_. （ A） calmness （ B） peacefulness （ C） shock （ D） intention 35 According to the passage, the music and consumer-electronics industry decided to cooperate because_. （ A） the litigation between them cost them too much （ B） selling MP3 would produce huge profits （ C） MP3 is t

38、he unchangeable trend and they have to adapt to it （ D） All of the above 35 There have been several claims to have cloned humans over the past few years. Most have been bogus. But the announcement made this week by Woo Sur Hwang, of Seoul National University in South Korea, and his colleagues, is se

39、rious. It is the first to achieve the accolade of publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Dr. Hwangs work appears in Science. The terminology of human development has become slippery over the past few years, in the hands of both “life-begins-at-conception“ propagandists who want to stop t

40、his sort of research, and publicity-seeking scientists who have claimed more than they have really achieved. What Dr. Hwang and his team have created is not what developmental biologists would normally refer to as an embryo. But it is a genuine scientific advance. South Koreas researchers have taken

41、 egg cells from volunteer women, removed the nuclei from those cells (which contain only half of the genetic complement required to make a human being, since the other half is provided by the sperm), and replaced each nucleus with one taken from one of the volunteers body cells (which contains a ful

42、l genetic complement). Given a suitable chemical kick-start, such re-nucleated cells will begin dividing as though they were eggs that had been fertilised in the more traditional manner. Since they have all of the mothers genes, they count as clones. Then the team cultured the dividing eggs until th

43、ey had formed structures called blastocysts, with a few dozen cells each. This is the significant advance. At this stage the structure, though still just a featureless ball of cells, has started to differentiate into the bodys three basic cell types (known as endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm). The re

44、searchers were able to extract cells from some of their blastocysts, and grow tissues containing all three cell types. These are so-called stem cells, which can be directed to form a wide variety of the specialised cells from which organs are built. That, not the creation of new human beings, is the

45、 stated reason for this sort of research, since specialised cells made this way might be used to replace the cells lost in diseases such as Parkinsons and type-I diabetes. This process is known as therapeutic cloning. No doubt Dr Hwangs scientific success will sharpen the debate between those who se

46、e therapeutic cloning as a potential force for good, and those who see it as a step on the road to a cloned human being. The former have been queuing up to praise the scientists work. It is “a major medical milestone“ that could help spur a “revolution“, said Robert Lanza, a cloning expert. But oppo

47、nents of therapeutic cloning should not worry too much yet. The road from a blastocyst to a baby is a long and complex one. Nevertheless, the South Korean breakthrough makes it more urgent than ever that legislation be passed differentiating clearly between therapeutic and reproductive cloning permi

48、tting the former and prohibiting the latter. 36 What does the word “bogus“ (Line 2) most probably mean? （ A） Different. （ B） Fake. （ C） Bold. （ D） Genuine. 37 The South Korean teams breakthrough in cloning is that_. （ A） they have really created an embryo （ B） they have developed womens body cells i

49、nto blastocysts （ C） they have cultivated blastocysts with fixed features （ D） they have been able to grow tissues containing stem cells 38 The teams claimed objective of its cloning research is to_. （ A） develop fertilized eggs with all mothers genes （ B） form body structures with all three basic cell types （ C） obtain specialised cells from which organs are built （ D） create new human beings 3
