41、oblems involving long rows of figures in one continuous operation (运算).In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government.After that,he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems.Although he received some money left by his fathe

42、r,the money was not enough to support his design.He wrote to the government about his plan and was given2 500 to start with,a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.Babbage continued his work in London for four years.Then his health broke down,and he had to take a long holiday abroad.When

43、he returned to London in 1828,he was at the end of his resources.Many bills remained unpaid.His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools.For one year no work was done.During his period,Babbage,whose mind was always active,suddenly thought of a completely n

44、ew idea for the machine.He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea.But this time,they were unwilling to help him.For eight years,they refused to say whether they wanted it or not,and their final answer was “No.”From 1828 to 1839,Babbage held the position of professor at Cambr

50、 machine。DExtinctions are seldom a cause for celebration.Humans are wiping out species at a frightening rate,whether hunting them into history or,far more threateningly,damaging the habitats on which they depend.How,then,to think about a new technology that will make driving a species to extinction

51、far easier?That technology is known as a gene drive,so called because it uses genetic engineering to drive certain features through a population.Those characteristics need not be harmful;they might become stronger against disease among crops or,perhaps,greater tolerance to warming waters on the part

52、 of corals.And if the species in question were the three types of mosquitoes responsible for spreading malaria(疟疾),it could save close to half million lives a year,and many of them are children.The same approach could be used against other diseases such as Lyme disease,and Zika.Gene drives also offe

53、r us potential weapon against foreign species such as foxes,mice,rabbits and rats which are threatening native species in some parts of the world.Normally genes have a 50:50 chance of being passed on during reproduction.Gene drives tip the evolutionary scales.One area of research focuses on genes th

55、ntended consequences,particularly if gene drives can move to a closely related species.Another relates to governance.Genetically modified crops can be kept relatively contained: animals carrying gene drives could be mobile and respect no borders.One countrys decision to use gene drives will have con

56、sequences for its neighbours.A third worry concerns improper uses of the technology,and not only by states.A mosquito,engineered to inject toxins(毒素) could be used as a weapon.But putting the brakes on research may pay real costs: not just the annual rising number of deaths taken by malaria and othe

57、r killer before an answer is found,but also slower progress towards making gene drives safer.【语篇解读】本文为议论文,作者就gene drives可能带来的利弊进行了探讨。32.Whats the main idea of the second paragraph?A.Diseases spread among crops.B.The definition of gene drives.C.The bright sides of gene drives.D.The possible ways against diseases.答案C解析主旨大意题。第二段中的“And if the species in question were the three types of mosquitoes responsible for spreading malaria,it could save close to half million lives a year,and many of them are children.”可知,本段主要介绍了gene drives的优点,故选C项。33.What does the
