Thus theirprestige is gen erally lower tha n that of the old rich, who have n ot found it n ecessary to lift a fin ger tomake their mon ey, and who tend to look dow

26、n upon the new rich.However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very rich. They have eno ugh money and leisuretime to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, pain ti ng , and sculpture. They gen erallylive in exclusive areas, bel ong to exclusive social clubs, com muni ca

33、 herited, there arealso regi ons of the DNA stra nd which can relate an in dividual to his or her family ( immediate andextended, tribal group and even an entire population. Molecular Gen ealogy(宗谱学 can usethis unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family

34、 trees.Pedigrees 家谱 based on such gen etic markers can mea n a breakthrough for family trees where in formatio nis in complete or miss ing due to adopti on, illegitimacy or lack of records. There are many com mun itiesand populati ons which have lost precious records due to tragic events such as the

35、 fire in the Irish courtsduring Civil War in 1921 or American slaves for whom many records were n ever kept in the first place.The main objective of the Molecular Gen ealogy Research Group is to build a database containingover 100,000DNA samples from in dividuals all over the world. There in dividua

36、ls will have provided apedigree chart ofat lest four gen erati ons and a small blood sample. Once the database has eno ugh samples torepresent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues regardinggenealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written

37、records. Theoretically, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family orig ins through this database. In the mean time,as the database is being created, molecular gen ealogy can already verify possible or suspected relation ships betwee n in dividuals. “ For example, if two men shar

38、i ng the same last n ame believe thatthey arerelated, but no writte n record proves this relati on ship, we can verify this possibility by collect ing asample of DNA from both and look ing for com mon markers (in this case we can look primarily at the Ychromosome(染色体,” explains Ugo Perego, a member

39、of the BYU Molecular Genealogy research team.51. People in a large area may possess the same DNA threadbecause_ .A. DNA is characteristic of a regi onB. they are bey ond doubt of com mon an cestryC. DNA strand has the ability to identify individualsD. their unique identification can be provided via

A. gen eticshas achieved a breakthroughB. genetic information contained in DNA can be revealed nowC. each in dividual carries a uniquerecord of who he is and how he is related to othersD. We can use DNA to prove how dista nt an

41、 in dividual is to a family , a group or a populati on53. The Molecular Genealogy Research Group is building a database for the purposeof_ . A. offeri ng assista nee in worki ng out gen ealogy-related problemsB. solving many issues without relying on traditional written records C. providing a pedigr

Molecular gen ealogy can be used to prove a relati on ship betwee n in dividuals.Task 3Over two hun dred years ago, Adam Smith in troduced some ideas which brought about a worldrevolutio n.If we enjoy

45、 a high standard of modern society, we owe much to this Scottish econo mist andphilosopher. If we enjoy driv ing in beautiful cars, weari ng fashi on able shoes, or flying away to dista ntplaces for excit ing holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible.What was Adam Sm

46、ith s con tributi on? Like so many ideaich have surpris ing effects, his was asimple one. He watched workers practici ng their craft of pin maki ng. One man would heat the strip ofmetal, stretch it out , cut off an appropriate len gth, shape it, cool it and fin ally smooth and shine it. Smithdrew at

47、te nti on to the adva ntage which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers. Let one be resp on sible for prepari ng the metal, ano ther for stretch ing andcutting, another for shaping, and another for finishing. He described the technique as the Divisionof Labor; in

48、 this way workers repeat the same actions again and again. Smith convin ced the world thatspecializati on could solve the problem of poverty and want.What was the result? The In dustrial Revolutio n. Productivity was greatly in creased. For Britain,where the revolution started, there was a prosperit

49、y which made it the richest country in the 19th century.British trains and railway lines spread out like a spider web across the world. British ships are used tocarry the cargoes the new cargoes from one corner of the world to ano ther.The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a

50、 worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere,factories areproduc ing large nu mbers of similar products, and are in con ti nu ous product ion. What werecalled mass-product ion lines yesterday are called robotic product ions today. The pace of cha nge is increas ing. And if these tech niq ues have brought us pr

51、osperity, they have also brought us a little miseryin overcrowded tow ns, bori ng jobs and, most of all, un employme nt.56. We should be gran ted to Adam Smith because_ .A. his ideas made it possible for people to improve their livesB. he inven ted a more efficie nt way of pin makingC. he started th

A. led toAdam Smith s idea of specializationB. was fini shed in the 19th cen turyC. also has its side-effects in societyD. put an end to poverty in the world 59. Accordin

54、g to the passage we know that theIn dustrial Revoluti on is resp on sible for the followi ng results except_.A. prosperity B. crime C. un employme nt D. over-crowded ness60. What is the best title for this passage?A. The Theory of Divisi on of Labor and Its Sign ifica neeB. The In dustrial Revoluti

56、after the corresponding nu mbers on the An swer Sheet.Last December s earthquake in the Iranian city of Barn took a hugehdtoll- roughly 40,000people- largely because of the collapse of thousa nds of mud-brick build in gs. If a group ofresearchers in In dia are successful, the next earthquake might n

British and In dian engin eers are develop ing earthquake-proof hous ing using a cheap,bamboo.They desig ned a model house built around waterproof of bamboo-sheet roofi ng and bamboorein forced con crete walls. To test the structure, the engin eers, spon sored by the U.K. Depar

Theresearchers shook the house with five successive 30-sec ond pulses, being equal to7.8 on the Richter scale. The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Barn earthquake, yetthe house they designed was undamaged.“We didn t even crack thepaint, ” says engineer Paul Follett, of Britan s Timber Research and Dev
