On June 26th, 2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig Venter, told the world that they could now read the whole “map” of the human body: DNA. DNA is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own. Now we can read some of this “map”, and so we can find out more about how our bodies work.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregory Mendel discovered that there is a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes” that we have in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are really messages written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaei found the first “word” that they could understand in that language, showing how DNA tells the cell to build its parts. This meant that one day we would be able to read all the messages that a human body gets from its parents' bodies. Scientists have now found all the words in DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help save people from several diseases. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help people who are very ill. Other people worry about that when we learn more words and find out lots of other information, we still use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people getting jobs.
(1)Could Francis and Craig read the “map” of DNA in 2000?
(2)Why do we look like our parents?
(3)When was the first “word” of DNA discovered?
(4)What can the doctors do if we understand some messages in DNA?
(5)What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph?

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
According to a new scientific research, we are rapidly going close to major climate change and the effects on the environment could be quite serious. Geographers predict that climate zones could completely disappear within the next eighty years. Where will crops be grown if this happens? When the climate changes a lot, polar regions will get colder and tropical regions will get even hotter. As a result, where will animals be forced to move on the earth?
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes(飓风) will not only increase but may also become stronger. If the changes come too quickly, animals and plants may not be able to adapt(适应) right away and could disappear from the earth.
According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that, by the year 2100, many of today's familiar climates will be taken place by climate unknown in today's world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of far-reaching results for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a huge tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands more died in China in another big earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was destroyed seriously and became ruins in 2010 by another big earthquake.
Not long ago, scientists discovered ice melting(融化) in west Antarctica(南极洲). This is very worrying because temperatures in this area have remained rather constant(不断的) and actually even lower at time. Melting occurs when temperatures increase and since temperatures have remained, the ice should not be melting. However, satellite data(数据) shows melting around west Antarctica.
Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously expected. At this point, it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. On the other hand, our world is getting more and more unstable(不稳定) every year. Natural disasters(灾难) are becoming more frequent(频繁的) and serious.
However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connections between these. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.
(1)What's the writer's attitude toward the climate changes?
A.We should observe the great changes of the climate carefully.
B.We must connect with other planets to prevent the climate changes.
C.We should try our best to do something against the climate changes.
D.We need to discover what causes the climate changes first of all.
(2)What does the underlined word “tropical” mean?
A.cold and dry
B.cool and wet
C.hot and wet
D.warm and dry
(3)What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Collecting more data will help us to solve the problem.
B.The climate will be much better than we have expected.
C.Earthquakes can be avoided in a few years' time.
D.The ice in west Antarctica will stop melting in the future.
(4)What's the passage mainly about?
A.It tells us how to protect the environment of the earth.
B.It talks about the bad effects of the climate changes.
C.It shows us how to prevent diseases from spreading.
D.It describes what we should do with the earthquakes.

Two bicycle chains connected the propellers to the engine. .The brothers threw a coin into the air to see who should fly first. Orville won. He climbed onto the plane and started the engine.
