26、Imagine that the genome (基因组) is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters, with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 500 dictionaries. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This enormous document, however, all fits inside the extremely small nucleus (核) of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin (针尖).

The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor (比喻). It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and controlled by a system that translates a small alphabet (字母表) of letters into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only difference is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.

While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters. And instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules (分子). The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.

【1】What facts do you know about the genome?

A．It has 23 chapters.

B．It is extremely long.

C．It is in the cell nucleus.

D．It is on the pin head.

【2】In what sense is the genome like a book?

A．Both have digital images.

B．Both are read from left to right.

C．Both are grouped by subject.

D．Both have a translation system.

【3】What can we know about genomes from paragraph 3?

A．They are nearly of the same length.

B．They are made up of DNA.

C．They can reproduce each other.

D．They are written on flat pages.

【4】Why did the writer make a comparison of the genome to a book?

A．To focus on the differences.

B．To emphasize the similarities.

C．To simplify the concept.

D．To give different description.

27、When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada, I hadn’t expected that communication would be an issue.【1】I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.

But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was. In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers, I had to be careful. I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it to my native language.【2】Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate that response. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused in conversations.

But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, a simple idea occurred to me. 【3】Communicating with my colleagues by e-mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.

【4】I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research team seemed slightly surprised. But the dynamics quickly improved. They seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation.【5】

A．Plus, I learned to be open with my colleagues.

B．Why not contribute to the discussion in writing?

C．I had thought I could express myself in English easily.

D．Gradually I grew uncomfortable with oral communication.

E．Then, I had to reflect carefully on it and think of a response.

F．With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language barriers.

G．How can one deny the significance of effective communication?

28、In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使……放心)me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

D．He watched the girl for three hours.

【3】The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .

A．she realized he was Gordon

B．she had known him for decades

C．she was going to the nearby town

D．she wanted to repay the favour she once got

【4】What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?

A．Giving sometimes produces nice results

B．Those who give rides will be rapid.

C．Good manners bring about happiness

D．People should offer free rides to others.

29、   Elephants have impressed us for centuries. They are big, clever, and sociable. But what if someone told you that they may also hold the key to fighting cancer (癌症)?

People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer, even though they have lifespans (寿命) that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.

Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) from developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti­tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.

According to the research, which was recently published on the online science network BioRxiv, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal's sensitivity to DNA damage. This lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.

“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals，” study author Dr. Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell (细胞) has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with long lifespans like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice do. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.

This_phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto's paradox”. Evolutionary (进化的) biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant's case, the making of TP53 is nature's way of keeping this species alive.

The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance (抵抗) as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers from spreading or even developing in the first place.

“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer, ” said Joshua Schiffman, an oncologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US.

“It's up to us to learn how different animals tackle (处理) the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”

【1】Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?

A. They have a large body size.

B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.

C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.

D. They carry many genes that keep tumors from developing.

【2】According to Dr. Vincent Lynch, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?

A. A risk of deadly tumors. B. Human behavior.

C. Extreme weather. D. Cells killing themselves.

【3】What does the underlined expression “This phenomenon” in the sixth paragraph refer to?

A. Larger animals have protection from TP53.

B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.

C. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they have.

D. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones do.

【4】We can conclude from the last three paragraphs that ________.

A. humans are expected to stop cancer in the near future

B. depending on nature is not enough to fight against cancer

C. this new treatment is more effective than the present ones

D. the TP53 genes have proven useful in stopping cancer in mice
