23、e money needed. The money is paid back in monthly payments. The family must pay the rest of buying price in cash (现金). This is called the down payment.In most cities, there are many families who need and want new houses. Some of these families can afford to make monthly payments on a house. But they

24、 cannot save up enough money to make a down payment. How then can these families become houseowners?In the city of Indianapolis, an organization under black leadership runs a program of self-help housing called Flanner House Homes. This program has helped hundreds of families with low income become

25、houseowners.Flanner House Homes supplies the land, materials, tools, and training for a large group of families to build their own houses. These families do not have money for a down payment on a house. Instead, the men used their own labor as a down payment. They work twenty hours a week to help bu

26、ild their houses. Although they have never built houses before, the men are taught certain skills as they work. They work together as teams.When the houses are finished, the new houseowners have some more than built themselves new houses. With handsome brick and frame (框架) houses taking the place of

27、 old, run-down ones, they have turned the streets with small, dirty, crowded houses into pleasant new neighborhoods.56. Why Flanner House Homes was founded is because .A. the black people needed new houseownersB. it helps lowincome families become houseownersC. many low income people have difficuty

It is easy to pay for a house.D. Flanner House Homes supplies people with the money to buy houses.B As we approach the 21st

30、century, it is clearer than ever that science and technology are changing the way we live and work. The breakthroughs in bioengineering science are helping to reveal the mysteries of life, holding out new hope for lifesaving cures to some of our most dreaded diseases. In 1997, the great news shocked

31、 the whole world that the British scientists created a lamb, named Dolly from a single cell. Miraculously, the cell had been taken from the udder of an adult sheep, which marks the first time an adult animal had been successfully cloned. But it soon caused worldwide concern over its ethical, social,

32、 and scientific implications. Cloning is especially controversial because it raises the prospect of "making" humans genetically identical to an existing man or woman. Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is untested and unsafe and mor

33、ally unacceptable. How to look upon this new technique? When it comes to a discovery like cloning, we must move with caution, care and deep concern about the impact of our actions. First, cloning should be greatly esteemed and great thanks should be given to its inventors. Meanwhile, great efforts s

34、hould be made to place this technique under strict control. Especially we should adopt a document against human cloning since past experience tells us a new invention may cause troubles if it is misused.59.What are changing the way we live and work? A.Cloning.B.Life saving.C.Science and technology.

35、D.The mysteries of life.60.Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is _.A.untestedB.unsafeC.morally unacceptableD.above of all61.How should we look upon cloning? A.Cloning is terrible.B.Cloning must be moved with caution, care.C.Cloning will cause

36、 troubles.D.Cloning is a disease.62.According to the passage, what should be given to cloning's inventors?A.Strict control.B.Great thanks.C.Care.D.Caution.CThe biggest change in the world today is technology. The reason the world is getting smaller is because people can talk to each other more q

37、uickly than before with more information.The computer now has the information of a library of books on all subjects. By sitting at a computer, different software programs allow students the chance to learn about all subjects simply by asking the computer to find the information. The computer becomes

38、 the library.Students and parents are now learning what an important tool the computer has become for improving education.Letters might take a few days even a few weeks to be delivered. Technology has developed a fax machine where a letter can travel anywhere in the world, immediately. This has chan

39、ged the way people do business. Many computers can receive E-mail. This is like the fax letter. Often, businesses have a fax machine but homes do not. If a computer is in a home, it can receive E-mail messages from anyone in the world. It is like the telephone but it costs much less to receive messa

40、ges.The next generation (代) will have computers in most homes and be able to send faxes and E-mail all over the world. In the future, the computer will be as common as the telephone or TV. Technology is changing the way people communicate with each other.63. The world is getting smaller just because

41、 .A. the computer has taken the place of a libraryB. people can communicate with each other much more quicklyC. people have a shorter talk to each otherD. people in different places can get together in a short time64.

42、ecome an important toolC. can be used for getting more information in a shorter timeD. can help them go to college65. Which is most emphasized (强调) in the passage to show how important technology is?A. TelephoneB. FaxC. E-mailD. Computer66. We can infer from the passage that .A. the telephone is mor

43、e common than the computer nowB. letters won't be found in the futureC. Email is the cheapest way to receive messagesD. business people had better use fax machine67. What's the main idea of the passage?A. The world is smaller. B. Technology changes the world a lot.C. The computer will be wid

44、ely used. D. People can communicate with each other easily.DDear Carrie,Your brother sounds like a very selfish(自私的) person. But I want to know what causes him to act this way. Since he seems to be doing this on purpose, maybe the only way to do with the problem is to try to find the cause.I think y

45、our brother is probably hurting in some way. Perhaps he feels unsafe because he is not a full part of the family. He could be jealous (嫉妒) of your mother's love for the rest of you over him.It is wrong to fight anger with anger though you think it is a need to help your mother. I suggest you try

46、 to help your brother by treating him with more care and love. It must be hard for him to grow up in a family where his sisters had their real mother but he didn't. Try to let him know that you care about him. Over time he may come to know how lucky he is and start to treat you all with the same

47、 kindness that you give him.68. From the passage we may know that .A. there are two mothers in the familyB. the mother is the brother's stepmother (继母)C. the family is not a full familyD. the brother has three sisters in the family69. The writer suggests Carrie that .A. she treat her brother wit

48、h more love and careB. she find her mother with more fightsC. she find the cause for her brother's habitD. she fight against her brother with anger70. The writer thinks Carrie's brother .A. should know Carrie treats him with kindnessB. should be treated more kindlyC. is very lucky to live in

49、 such a familyD. is a bad young man71. In Carrie's letter she must have said that .A. she often punished her brotherB. she often gave her brother loveC. she often felt sad and angry in the familyD. her mother wasn't a good mother E Gene technology to benefit peopleAmong all the fast growing

50、science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do n

51、othing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more

52、living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged. Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some fa

53、milies, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this p

54、roblem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born. Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefo

55、re these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology. (http:/www.rothamsted.bbsrc.ac.uk
