7．Cyclist Alain Such has been dropped from the Ingotel cycling team for two years after a positive drug test at the Institute of drug Free Sport．"I was flabbergasted．"Said Didier Garcia，from Team Ingotel．"Alain joined our team last month and we had no idea that he was being examined．"It's a story that has become more and more familiar in recent years．Dr．Mohammad Farnood，a leading sports scientist from Cairo，Egypt，said，"It is thought that some athletes will look for other ways to improve performance in addition to using drugs．"
However，it has not always been against the law．In the Olympics in 1904，Thomas Hicks won the marathon after using drugs in the middle of the race．In fact，the first one didn't make him feel better for long，so he was given another and，as a result，he fell down soon after finishing and knew nothing．Another one may well have killed him．
Things are very different today．Some scientists are considering the possibilities of using genetic engineering to further develop athletes'abilities．"If it works with no risk of discovering，"said Dr Farnood，"then it's likely to become common practice for athletes．"
Researchers are looking at the possibility of identifying"athletic"genes and correcting weak ones．Put into practice，this would make a person healthier and stronger．Once scientists understand what genes of top athletes look like，it might even become possible to identify"athletic"genes in young people，and then money could be spent on children who have the most promising genes．
"People are beginning to recognize that genetics can in many ways do good to our society，for example in saving lives and in creating better quality food for people．"Dr Farnood says．"So，is it fair to use genetic engineering in sport？You could ask if it's fair for some runners to use the latest scientifically developed footwear．The key question is whether it's available to everyone．"
32．What does the underlined word"flabbergasted"in Paragraph 1 mean？D
A．Shy．B．Proud．C．Excited．D．Surprised．
33．What happened to Thomas Hicks in 1904？C
A．He was badly hurt in training．
B．He broke the law when running in a race．
C．He took drugs and almost got killed．
D．He lost the match in the Olympic Games．
34．Who may show the greatest concern about using genetic engineering in sport？D
A．Didier Garcia．
B．Thomas Hicks．
C．Cyclist Alain Such．
D．Dr Mohammad Farnood．
35．What can we learn from Paragraph 5and 6？B
A．The possibility of identifying"athletic"genes has become available．
B．It's not clear whether it is fair to use genetic engineering in sport．
C．The practice of using drugs in sport has a long history．
D．It's dangerous to use drugs in sport．
分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了自行车选手Alain Such比赛嗑药事件，事实上科学家们试图使用基因工程在体育运动，但大家看法不一．
解答 32．D．词义猜测题．根据第一段Cyclist Alain Such has been dropped from the Ingotel cycling team for two years after a positive drug test at the Institute of drug Free Sport．"I was flabbergasted可知自行车选手Alain Such跌出了ingotel车队两年在药物自由运动所的药检呈阳性之后．"我惊呆了；意为惊讶的；故选D．
33．C．细节理解题．根据第三段In fact，the first one didn't make him feel better for long，so he was given another and，as a result，he fell down soon after finishing and knew nothing．Another one may well have killed him可知Thomas Hicks在1904吃药参加比赛差点死亡；故选C．
34．D．细节理解题．根据第四段Some scientists are considering the possibilities of using genetic engineering to further develop athletes'abilities．"If it works with no risk of discovering，"said Dr Farnood可知Dr Mohammad Farnood可能最关心使用基因工程在体育运动；故选D．
35．B．细节理解题．根据最后一段You could ask if it's fair for some runners to use the latest scientifically developed footwear．The key question is whether it's available to everyone可知这是不清楚的在体育运动中使用遗传工程博览会是否公平；故选B．
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
