18、en sick. As a result, he stayed home and read books and drew pictures to entertain himself.Maurice became known for stories that were often dark and intense.

19、m-like world. Maurice said he got the idea for the story from a real-life kidnapping in 1932. The baby son of the famous pilot Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from home and murdered. Maurice was only a small child at the time. But he never forgot his fear as he listened to the radio broadcasts about

20、 the baby kidnapping.Maurice grew up with continuous reminders about death. When he was sick, his grandmother dressed him in white clothes that she thought would help him avoid dying. During World War Two, many of his family members were murdered in the Nazi German death camps. He remembers his moth

21、er screaming and cry8ing each time she learned that another family member had been killed.

They often show children dealing with and overcoming

26、 the technology company has released its latest “5 in 5” report. The expert think five development will become reality within the next five years. Scientists at IBM and other companies are researching ways to make the predictions come true.They say people will soon have a way to just think about cal

27、ling or e-mailing someone in order to make it happen. Its a simple ability to command a system to do something for you without actually doing or saying anything, literally thinking and having something happen as a result thats accurate. Something with really deep capability so that a person, for ins

28、tance, a quadriplegic, a paraplegic can actually utilize brainwaves to make things happen and basically run their own lives independently.Another prediction is a way for people to power their homes and offices using energy from activities like walking or running. For example, you can see somebody in

29、 the third world who has access to a phone or a smart phone but doesnt have access to the power grid(电力网), and literally a shoe can help gain energy from walking and can charge the battery to enable that person to actually become a connected with the rest of the world.Passwords could soon become a t

30、hing of the past. Some of the most common biometrics used to identify people are fingerprints, face and voice recognition, and iris scans. The iris is the colored part of the eye. Dr. Bernie Myerson says this technology will soon be more widely used by money machines and other devices. Another predi

31、ction is from the experts at EBM: better technology to prevent unwanted e-mail.

37、 decade ago it took tense of millions of pounds and many years to sequence the complete genome of one individual. Now it takes a few hundred pounds and a couple of days to decode the entire DNA of a cancer cell.The rapid pace of change in DNA sequencing is leading to a transformation in the diagnosi

38、s and treatment of cancer. In the coming decade every cancer patient will receive a genetic profile of their disease, scientists predict.An age of personalized medicine where patients receive tailored treatments based on their DNA rather than just their symptoms could end the one-drug-treats-all app

39、roach to cancer treatment, which has failed many patients in the past, they said.The revolution will also mean that the classic method of testing new drugs and treatments based on large scale of clinical trials with thousands of patients will be replaced by more targeted approach focused on a smalle

40、r number of individuals with known genetic profiles.Rapid DNA sequencing will signal an age where cancer drugs will be made for patients based on the type of DMA mutations (转变) carried within their tumor(肿瘤), scientists said. “In part it might signal a significant shift in the way medicine is perfor

41、med for cancer in the 21st century,” said Professor Alan Ashworth, chief executive of the Institute of Cancer Research of London.“This is not science fiction. Its happening in a number of places around the world but we feel it will be absolutely routine within the next five to ten years for every ca

42、ncer patient,” said Professor Ashworth, adding that it could mean drugs designed for one type of cancer will be used in the treatment of quite different cancers, as scientists uncover common biochemical pathways that link one disease to another.“It opens up the possibility of using drugs in a contex

43、t in which they were not originally developed,” Professor Ashworth said. It could also change the whole approach to drug development and clinical trials. He added, “In the past, drugs have been developed with large clinical trials involving thousands of patients and working out what is best for the

44、average patient. What we are saying now is to look at what is best for the individual patient. It may be that in certain rare cancer types, a drug may be considered effective, even though there may well never be clinical trial evidence to prove it.”51. The underlined word “tailored” in Para. 3 proba

45、bly means _.A. fitting one personB. well designedC. conveniently madeD. aiming at common people52. Compared with the new approach, the old method of drug development _.A. is focused on a small number of patientsB. is based on a large number of tests on patientsC. works out what is best for one parti

46、cular patientD. cannot produce trial evidence to prove a drugs effect53. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. A decade ago patients with unknown genetic profiles cannot be treated.B. Cancer treatment in the future will be mainly based on the symptoms of the patients.C. the revolution in can

47、cer treatment is a result of the rapid change in DNA sequencing.D. Up to now the one-drug-treats-all approach to cancer treatment has been working properly.第二节 (共4小题;每小题2分,共8分)根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。The hardest languagePeople often ask which is the most difficult language to lear

48、n, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally. _55_.A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a nativ

49、e speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different._56_. The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. _57_. Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is

50、 learned also play an important role, as well as each learners motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.Apparently, British diplomats and

51、other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian, which has 35 cases forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject, object, etc. _58_ In th

52、e case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system, which uses a similar alphabet, but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers of related languages may find it easier, while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy.No language is ea

53、sy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is

54、 the most difficult language in the world.A. In this case, first language can affect learning a second languageB. Some people seem to learn languages readily, while others find it very difficult.C. Regardless of this, it is difficult to gain a good knowledge of every language.D. Individuals from dif

55、ferent cultures will find different languages more difficult.E. So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.四、单句翻译 (共4小题;每小题2分,共8分)根据中文提示,完成下列句子。1. 我们搬到德国后,孩子们很快就适应了这一变化。After we moved to Germany, the children _ the change very quickly.2. 随着岁月的

56、流逝,人们逐渐地意识到环境保护的重要性。As time went on, people came to _ the importance of environmental protection.3. 尽管中国政府一直致力于改善空气质量,但是短期内目标可能很难达到。Although the Chinese government has been _ air condition, the target may be hard to reach within a short time.4. 到本世纪末,我们将已经在太阳系中发现其他的适合居住的地方。_, we will have discovered other places in our
