、阅读理解（共 3 道试题，共 60 分。）    得分：60
1.  　　June 26, 2000—the Human Genome Project, a

great 3 billion, 15 year task aimed at drawing the

genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent

completed. The scientific and medical communities are

very excited about the chances genetic research

provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging

human life. But those communities and policy makers

also are careful about the scientific door they are

opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of

life.
　　For the last few years, the genetic advances in

fast developing field of biotechnology(生物学) have

provided material for all kinds of work, but the

developments of modern science in unlocking the

secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world

of possibilities for human health, as well as for the

popular imagination。
　　While European and Japanese researchers are

making rapid progress in decoding human DNA, the

leading organization for genetic research in the US,

which began in 1990,is“unlocking the code "of the

human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases.

Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely

known and praised for finding the genes connected

with terrible diseases, and making progress toward

separating the genes that show a sign of breast

cancer or AIDS.
　　Once these genes are found and studied,

researchers can develop new ways to attack

infections, and genetic diseases. Medical companies

are very interested in mapping the human genome, as

they expect to develop lots of new drugs for these

diseases.
1). Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the

Human Genome?
A. Because it can destroy many illnesses.
B. Because its completion can help them get rid of

many diseases.
C. Because it can provide a lot of chances of work.
D. Because they wanted to be better known than

others.
      满分：4  分  得分：4

the world?
A. Japan.
B. Germany.
C. The United States
D. European countries.
      满分：4  分  得分：4
3). All of the following states are correct except

that————
A. if the genes can be found, scientists can study

many new ways to cure illnesses
B. the USA began the genes study early in the 19th

century
C. many medical companies show great interest in

drawing the human genome map
D. the scientists have made great progress in

connecting the genes with the cancers

can cause——

C. unlocking the Genetic Code
D. the Genes and the Scientists

2.        Why are so many people so afraid of

failure? Quite simply, because we forget that failure

is part of the human condition and every person has

the right to fail.
      Most parents work hard at either preventing

failure or protecting their children from the

knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower

standards. A mother describes her child’s hand-made

table as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand

still. Another way is to shift(转移) blame. If John

fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
      The trouble with failure-prevention devices(策

略) is that they leave a child unequipped for life in

the real world. The young need to learn that no one

can be best at everything, no one can win all the

time --- and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even

when they don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a

birthday party feels terrible, of course. But parents

should not offer a quick consolation(安慰) or say, “

It doesn’t matter.” because it does. The young

should be allowed to experience disappointment and be

helped to master it.
      Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-

ups and children alike. But it can make a positive(积

极的) contribution to your life once you learn to use

it.
      Don’t blame someone else. Ask yourself what

you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else

can help, don’t be shy about asking. Success is not

nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn

from a bad party how to give a good one. Even a

failure that seems definitive can prompt fresh

thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years old

of studying ballet, a friend of mine interviewed for

a professional company. She was turned down. In such

cases, the way to failure is to use failure is to

take stock(鉴定) bravely asking “What else can I do?

”. My friend put away her shoes and moved into a

dance treatment center, a field where she’s both

able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks

because there’s less to lose. Often there is

recovery(恢复) of energy—a way to find new

possibilities.
1). The second paragraph mainly tells us .
A. how parents encouraged their children when they

had failed
B. how most parents responded to their children’s

failure
C. how to shift blame
D. how to properly prevent children’s failure.
      满分：4  分  得分：4
2). According to the text, what should a child know

in the real world?
A. He should be equipped for life.
B. No one can be best at all the time at everything.
C. No parents should offer quick consolations.
D. He can get pleasure from failure as well as

success.

3.      Three lawyers and three engineers were

traveling by train to a conference. At the station,

the three lawyers each bought tickets and watched

that the three engineers bought only a single ticket.
    “How are three people going to travel on only

one ticket?” asked one of the lawyers.
    “Watch and you will see,” answered one of the

engineers.
    They all boarded the train. The lawyers took

their respective(分别的，各自的) seats but all three

engineers crammed(填满) into a restroom and closed

the door behind them. Shortly after the train had

departed, the conductor came around collecting

tickets. He knocked on the restroom door and said, “

Ticket, please.” The door opened just a crack(裂缝)

and a single arm emerged(显现) with a ticket in hand.

The conductor took it and moved on. The lawyers saw

this and agreed it was quite a clever idea.
    So after the conference, the lawyers decided to

copy the engineers on the return trip and save some

money. When they got to the station, they bought a

single ticket for the return trip. To their

astonishment, the engineers didn’t buy a ticket at

all.
    “How are you going to travel without a ticket?”

asked one perplexed lawyers.
    “Watch and you’ll see,” said one of the

engineers.
    When they boarded the train the three lawyers

crammed into a restroom and the three engineers

crammed into another one nearby. The train departed.

Shortly afterward, one of the engineers left his

restroom and walked over to the restroom where the

lawyers were hiding. He knocked on the door and said,

“Ticket, please.” By copying the engineers, one

lawyer put out a single arm with a ticket in his

hand. The engineer came back to his restroom with the

ticket. Then the conductor was coming this way …
