12.A MAJOR breakthrough that could save many lives could be coming,as a simple blood test from genomics (基因组学) company Illumina could help to detect (发现)cancer early.
The company,helped by $100 million (about 658 million yuan)from famous tech founders like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos,aims to find warning signs of any type of cancer before there are any symptoms or tumors (肿瘤),and thus save many lives,according to The Telegraph.
The race to invent this type of technology is happening between several scientists.For example,the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute and the University of Leicester in the UK are both working on similar technologies.
Although some blood treatments that show tumors returning or cancer getting worse have been developed,scientists have been trying for some time to find cancer signs in people that otherwise seem healthy.The technology,called"liquid biopsy",would work by finding parts of DNA that are known to be signs of cancer in the blood as the disease developed.
Catching cancer early isn't always a good thing-some cancers never go on to become dangerous,but treating them can have bad side effects.However,Jay Flatley,the Illumina chief executive and chairman of Grail,a company set up by Illumina,told The New York Times that Grail will solve these issues by sequencing(确定…的顺序)the DNA of 30,000 to 50,000 people.It will check how serious their cancers are over time to make the test accurate.The money of a large company like Illumina means that its DNA sequencing technologies are far more accurate than the average ones.
At the University of Leicester,researchers such as Professor Jacqui Shaw are also trying to solve the problem by analyzing bits of DNA for errors that are only related to fast-progressing tumors.
"We hope today is a turning point in the war on cancer,"said Flatley."By making it possible for cancer to be detected early in people with no symptoms through a simple blood test,we aim to greatly decrease cancer deaths by finding the disease at a stage when it can be cured."
Last year,a similar test created in London by the Institute of Cancer Research was able to tell if breast cancer was coming back almost eight months before any symptoms were found.

59.According to the article,the company IlluminaD.
A.has invented a new medicine to cure cancer
B.has found a new way to cure cancer of any kind
C.is developing a new treatment for breast cancer
D.could use a blood test to catch cancer early
60.What can be concluded from the article?C
A.Blood tests still can't discover signs of cancer returning.
B.Only scientists in the UK are making progress in cancer research.
C.Finances play an important role in research.
D.The"liquid biopsy"technology is the first blood treatment adopted in the history of cancer research.
61.The author wrote the article mainly toA.
A.inform us of a new method of detecting cancer
B.call for donations to companies doing medical research
C.compare different cancer experiments
D.stress the difficulties of medical research.

分析 本文是一篇科教类阅读,主要介绍了一种能够通过简单的血液测试来提前探测癌症的新方法.有了这种方法,癌症患者能更早的治疗并挽救生命.

解答 59:D考查细节推理,根据文章第一段的 a simple blood test from genomics (基因组学) company Illumina could help to detect (发现) cancer early.来自基因组学公司Illumina的简单血液测试就能帮助人们早发现癌症.可知本题答案为D选项.
60:C考查细节推理,根据文章第五段的The money of a large company like Illumina means that its DNA sequencing technologies are far more accurate than the average ones.像Illumina一样的大公司的资金意味着它的DNA序列科技远比平均的要准确.可知资金在该研究中很重要,故本题答案为C选项.
61:A考查主旨大意,本文主要介绍了一种能够提前探测癌症的新方法.有了这种方法,癌症患者能更早的治疗并挽救生命.结合选项,故本题答案为A选项.

点评 本文是一个科教类阅读,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

David was a big New York newspaper reporter.That day,he also went to the field interviews; as usually he packed his baggage,and then he said good-bye to his wife hurriedly and headed for the airport.
Shortly after the plane took off,it gave a few violent shocks.For the sake safety,the captain asked the passengers to throw down their luggage to reduce the weights of the aircraft.David took his large suitcase from the luggage rack and threw it down from the air.A deep sense of fear hit him.David tried to keep himself calm.He thought of his wife,and hurried to write him a brief note which said,"Honey,if I'm gone,please don't be too sad.A month ago I just buy an accident insurance,where I put inside one book on the first layer of the bookshelf.If I have an accident,finding that insurance policy.I think it will helps you.Forgive me,for I cannot go on loving you.Take care of yourself.Love,David."
Only a three of the passengers survived in the air crash.It was really a miracle.Of course,he lost his luggage and the chance of good news interview,and he was on the front pages of major newspapers in New York.
1."There's a mistake.‘Moonlight,'you guys won best picture."
And with those words,producer Jordan Horowitz of"La La Land,"told the cast and crew of a competing film that it had won the Oscars'biggest award.Presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were given the wrong category's envelope before they went on stage.
Beatty was clearly confused about what he saw when he opened the envelope,but Dunaway read the name of the film listed below Stone's name.The actors and producers from"La La Land"left their seats and filled the stage to accept their Oscar statues.They gave many speeches before Horowitz interrupted."This is not a joke.Moonlight has won best picture,"he said.He took the card from Beatty and held it up for the cameras."Moonlight.Best Picture,"he said as the camera moved closer.
The show's host,Jimmy Kimmel,made the best of the situation.He went up to Beatty,and exclaimed"Warren.What did you do?"Kimmel also said,"Personally,I blame Steve Harvey."That was in reference to the mistake Harvey made in 2015at the Miss Universe pageant.He announced the wrong winner,first saying it was the contestant from Colombia,and then realizing the correct winner was actually from the Philippines.
Once order had been restored,Beatty tried to explain what happened,saying he had been given the wrong envelope.Barry Jenkins is the writer and director of"Moonlight."Once he reached the stage,he said"even in my dreams,this cannot be true."Stone,happy to have won the best actress award,later said"is that the craziest Oscar moment of all time?Cool!"
Many people are wondering how the mistake was made.The accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers has been handling Oscar votes for over 80years without any problems.The firm apologized to all of the people who were made uncomfortable by the mistake.It promised to investigate what caused the error.
Horowitz is being credited for staying calm and stopping the show to correct the error.People are calling him"gracious,""a great producer,"and"classy."Even Jenkins said"much respect to that dude."
