Researchers say because mices genes are so similar to hu

12、mans, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.Scientists at the University of California, Davis studied information from a data bank of mices genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.Only around 50

13、 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in human can be explained with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent.“This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary ey

14、e disease,” said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. “All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didnt know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these gen

15、etic diseases will be treatable.” Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the babys parents!Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for

16、, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7,00

17、0 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mices genes to those of patients.1、How many hereditary-sight-loss-related genes were newly found?A86.B261.C300.D347.2、Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems

20、ye Diseases22（8分） The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty.Since the 1980s,some have spoken out against coffee as harmful to health,while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report,mild coff

21、ee consumption,three to five cups per day,can he taken as a healthy dietary pattern,along with other healthful behaviors.The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinsons disease.According to Dr.Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic,high c

22、onsumption of coffee has health risks.Dr.Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body.Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in thes

23、e people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr.Gregory Marcus,a doctor from the University of California San Francisco,daily moderate consumption of caffeine,less than 4 cups,is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effect

24、s of coffee consumption on human health,it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harms of drinking coffee,Harwood,a high school student stated,Even though there might be some negat

27、How Coffee Affects Health?CThe Culture of Coffee DrinkingDThe New Findings of Heart Disease23（8分）The organic food has gained a lot of popularity as they are being considered as healthier and tastier. A fair number of people advocate a large-scale shift to organic farming from conventional agricultur

28、e. But this might not seem well-founded.Since the mid-19th century, conventional industrial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis. Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farm

29、land.To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertilizer（合成肥料）each year, and all that nitrogen（氮）enables much faster plant growth. However, the cost is paid in vast polluted dead zones at the months of many of the worlds rivers, because much of

30、the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans. This also makes conventional farming one of the major threats to the environment.To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture, improve soil quality as well as produce healthier foods, some farmers have turned to organic farming. Env

31、ironmentalists have also welcomed organic food as better for the planet than the food produced by agricultural corporations. Organic practices - refusing artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides are considered far more sustainable. Sales of organic food rose 7.7% in 2010, up to $26.7 billionan

32、d people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongues.Yet a new meta-analysis in Nature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion: organic farming produces 25% fewer crops on average than conventional agriculture.In the Nature analysis, scientists performed an analys

33、is of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species, from fruits to grains. They found that organic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type, though the difference varied widely. For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed（落后于）conventional agricul

34、ture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetables all of which provide the worlds main calories conventional agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%.What that means is that while organic farming may be more sustainable than conventional agriculture, there are trade-offs（此消彼长）with

35、each. So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventional practices.1、Whats the authors purpose of writing the passage?ATo compare two types of farming.BTo criticize conventional agriculture.CTo discuss the development of f

36、arming.DTo argue for a realistic agriculture system.2、What do we know about conventional farming?AIt produces more crops with fewer fertilizers.BIt achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environment.CIf offers a long-term solution to global demand for food.DIt performs far better for each crop ty

However, by doing some research and using three little wor

39、ds, you could end up saving a lot of money on accommodations.First, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out the hotel rates in your location for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a d

40、eal or “a special discount”, dont press the book button on the website just yet.After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly not any of the customer service or 1-800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially f

41、or a chain hotel. Then youre going to drop some magic words. While you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”, your secret weapon here is to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate.” According to experts at Travel+Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for

42、the room that will cost you the least for your vacation.If you do end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you found online and then reduce those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean

43、 more money than they would get if you booked through one of them.Just dont wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can lead to paying more, not less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel+ Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to

44、three months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you more than $270 for an eight-day stay.120、What does the underlined part “three little words” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AA special discountBThe best dealCThe lowest rateDCheapest nonrefundable rate.1、According to the passage, the preferred

45、way to get the best hotel deal is to _.Acall the target hotels to bargain with the staffBcollect and compare the prices found onlineCbook hotels just before your departure timeDturn to hotel booking sites for a discount25（10分） I was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office compu

46、ter. “Your password has expired(过期),” a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it.Coming up with a new code doesnt seem like a big deal, unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, on

47、e symbol, and one numeral. Oh, and the whole darn thing cant be fewer than eight characters. And I cant use any of the same passwords Ive used in the past three months.Suddenly I was furious. What didnt make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what s

48、he had done to me was all I thought about. Every day.My anger didnt mean anything to the empty input field with a pulsating cursor (闪动的光标), waiting for me to type a password that Id have to re-enter many times for the next 30 days. I remembered a tip Id heard from my former boss. Hed said, “Im going

49、 to use a password to change my life.”I couldnt focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear indicators of what I needed to do to regain control of my life, but I couldnt notice them.My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldnt let myself be a victim

50、 of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.I made my password Forgiveh3r.I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In

51、 my mind, I wrote Forgive her every day.The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder of reconciliation led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and embrace a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow h

By the time my server prompted me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done.My password became Quitsmoking4ever.I quit smoki

53、ng overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal.One month later, my password became Save4tripthailand.Guess where I went three months later: Thailand.Seei

54、ng how these reminders helped to materialize my goals kept me motivated and excited. While its sometimes difficult to come up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results.Here is a simplified extract of what some of my passwords have been in the past two years, so you get an idea of how m
