【题目】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. 1.

The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing about, such as cancer and heart disease. 2. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if gene technology is applied, not only can these two diseases be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to patients, but the great amount of money people spend on treating their diseases can also be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life spans (寿命) can be prolonged.

3. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have

hereditary ( ) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem. The scientist just needs to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.

4. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way. Of course, the government must take care to regulate gene technology.

A.Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers.

B.Gene technology can help people to give birth to healthy and clever children.

C.Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technlogy.

D.Many people, however, are worried that gene technology can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities.

E.Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.

F.Using gene technology, people with heredity diseases can have more living days.

【题目】In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.

From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.

Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.

No more angry shouts and no more horns!

When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.

Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

1The author feels sad sometimes because .

A. he has a soft heart B. some people fail to see the kindness in others

C. some people pretend to be kind D. he relies much on others

2What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?

A. They waited with patience. B. They speeded up to pass.

C. They tried their best to help. D. They put on their flashlights too.

3Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. A Wheelchair Experience. B. A Driving Experience

C. Weakness and Strength D. Weakness and Kindness.
