The technique stops the AIDS virus from attacking i

2、ts target-cells in the bodys defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes （淋巴2田胞）.The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes, then forces its wayinside. There it directs the cells genetic （基因的） material to produce copies of the AIDS vir

3、us. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading by preventing virus from connecting to T4 cells. When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein.Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones o

4、f the CD4 protein into the blood. This way the AIDS virus will connect to the cloned protein instead of the real ones. Scientists use the genetic engineering methods to make the clones. Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times. The AIDS virus must go to it.In a new technique, howev

5、er, the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell. It floats freely, so many more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 proteins on T4 cells. One report says the AIDS virus connects to the cloned proteins j ust as effectively as to real protein. That report was base

6、d on tests with blood cells grown in labs. The technique is just now beginning t o be tested in animals. If successful, it may be tested in humans within a year. 1.

People on city

11、streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they wee growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation. War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative（

12、 投机的）grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange.Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due（ 到期）， only to see prices risi

13、ng and speculators getting rich. On various occasions,producer groups asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious to check（ 控制 ） inflation（ 通货 膨胀）and rising living costs, the federal government appo

14、inted a board（董事会）of grain supervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended （暂停 ） and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board.

18、 of .A. the Winnipeg Grain ExchangeB. a board of supervisorsC. several producer groupsD. a new governmentPassage ThreeQuestions 10 to 15 are based on the following passage.Yellowstone Park is visited by two million people every summer and is the oldest, largest and most visited wilderness in the wor

19、ld. All are welcome and are invited on arrival to leave their cars and explore on foot. Yellowstone, a national park for ever 100 years, lies in the State of Wyoming, to the east of the Rocky Mountain. It is also in the center of the North American continent, midway between the equator and the North

20、 Pole, at a height of over 2300 meters. The very cold winter in this area closes the park around mid-November and lasts until April or even May. In February the temperature falls as low as 60F degree below freezing, and the animals that spend winter in the park are best able to live in the condition

21、s such as bison, wapiti, beavers and otters. Fortunately, the area around the hot springs and geysers becomes a centrally heated oasis（绿洲）in the desert ofsnow, providing warmth and a certain mount of food for the animals. Bison used to go around the plains in their millions until they were hunted al

22、most to extinction（ 灭绝 ） by white men with guns. In 1900 only two dozen of them remained in the park. However, since they become a protected animal, their numbers have risen to over two thousand. The end of winter is the most dangerous time for the animals as food becomes even less and they take gre

23、at risks（ 冒险 ） to find it, such as walking across thin ice. This period is known as“ winterkillw” ea, kwahnedn tmheanoyldof thedie, often from being too tired out, thus providing food for scavengers such as the coyote （a kind of wolf）.

If you do, you must be an optimist（ 乐观者 ）, a leader, an active person who enjoy life, people and excitement.

28、Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologist（ 心理学家） tell us and they should know,

29、because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don t choose our favourite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could s

30、ee clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing（ 压抑 ）. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that f

31、actory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.

52、zzle to linguists （ 语言学家）. _61 speaking, there are two schools of linguists, both of 62 try to explain 63 a child picks up a language so easily. The fact that a child picks up a language 64 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 65bye-bye; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three

53、he begins to 66 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 67 that humanbeings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 68 is only secondary.Children are not taught language 69 they are taught arithmetic.
