PART FOUR WRITING
SECTIONA
Direction: Reading the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks
with no more than three words for each answer that best fits the passage.
Blood Drive at Civic Center
The
local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic Center
auditorium. Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned away for
various medical reasons. Fifty others left because the lines were moving so
slowly. The event concluded at 6 pm, three hours after the scheduled close. It
was a long day for everyone-administrators, nurses, and donors. But there were
plenty of chairs and tables, and many people brought their own books,
magazines, or newspapers.
The
first thing the donors had to do, of course , was fill out the donor registration
and screening form. When they finished filling out the form, they waited until
a nurse called them to her desk. The average adult body contains 8 to 12 pints
of blood. Donors can give one pint at a time. It takes your body 2 to 4 weeks
to replace this amount. Most donors filled up the pint bag within 5 to 10
minutes.
Before
leaving, the donors received a sheet of instructions including: Do not lift any
heavy objects for 12 hours. Leave your pressure bandage on for 2~3 hours. Do
not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day. Do
not do any laborious activity for 24 hours.
“I
wish I could hug and kiss all the volunteers that are here today,” said Martha,
the blood center donor recruiter. “Many donors underestimate the importance of
what they’re doing. They think it is no big deal, but it is a big deal. Their
blood is actually saving lives, helping other people to live, which will lead
to a more harmonious society. We cannot thank them enough for that, nor can the
recipients(接受者).”
SECTION B
Direction: Read the
following passage and answer the questions according to the imfomation you get
in the passage and the required words limit.
Agricultural scientists in the United States
have put a copy of a human gene into pigs, sheep and rabbits. They report that
the gene seems to be working in some of the animals. The gene that the
scientists are using controls the production of human growth hormone(荷尔蒙), a chemical
necessary for growth.
They
are using the human gene because it has been more closely studied than any
other growth gene. The scientists hope their work will someday result in food
animals that grow faster and larger or produce more milk or eggs. The research
is being done by scientists at the University
of Pennsylvania, the University of Washington
and the United States Department of Agriculture. The scientists put copies of
human growth hormone into the fertilized (受精的) eggs of the female
animals. When baby animals were born from the eggs, the scientists looked for
evidence that the human gene had become part of the animal’s genetic material.
They examined almost 200 baby pigs and found the gene in 20 of them. They found
it in 28 of more than 200 rabbits, but it was in only one of 73 baby sheep. The
scientists said they found the human growth chemical produced by the gene in
some of the animals.
It
is too soon to know if the animals will pass the human growth gene into their
young, proving that the gene has become part of their genetic material. Similar
research with mice two years ago produced a new kind of mouse that is two times
larger than normal. The scientists hope the same thing will happen with farm
animals. They say their research will permit other gene transplants that can
give animals defense against diseases, or let them live in very hot or very
cold places. American farmers already use chemical hormones to increase the
size of cattle and the amount of milk they produce. But they have to put the
hormones into the cows. If the gene transplants are fully successful, the cow’s
body will produce growth hormone.
