SEOUL: South Korean scientist have cloned cats that glow red when exposed to the dark, an achievement that could help develop cures for human genetic diseases, the science and Technology Ministry has said.

Three Turkish Angora cats were born in January and February through cloning with a gene that produces a red florescent(熒光的) protein that makes them glow in the dark. One died at birth, but the two others survived, the ministry said.

The ministry claimed it was first time cats with modified genes have been cloned. Scientists from Gyeongsang National University took skin cells from a cat and inserted the florescent gene into them before transplanting the genetically modified cells into eggs.

The development means other genes can also be inserted in the course cloning, leading to the way for producing lab cats with genetic diseases, including those of humans, to help develop new treatments, the ministry said.

“Cats have similar genes to those of humans,” veterinary professor Kong Ⅱ-keun of Gyeongsang National University said.

“We can make genetically modified cats that can be used to develop new cures for genetic diseases.”

Keitaro Kato, a geneticist at Kinki University in western Japan who has cloned fish, said the research could be significant if it eventually helps treat people with genetic disease.

“People with genetic disorders usually have to receive treatment throughout their lives that is very hard on them,” Kato said.

“If these results can help to make their lives easier, then I think it’s a wonderful thing.”

1．The cloned cat can glow in the dark due to __________.

       A．its gene which has special protein          B．its skin which was transplanted

       C．its gene which was replaced                 D．its skin which was put colours in

2．According to the writer, the new science record’s importance is that _________.

       A．it may show the human’s intelligence

       B．it may display South Korean scientists talent

       C．it may help to develop a new treatment for man

       D．it may help South Korean scientists earn more money

3．What does “the research” refer to in Keitaro Kato’s opinion?

       A．Keitaro Kato’s research－cloned fish.

       B．South Korean’s research－cloned cats.

       C．Both Japanese and South Korean’s researches.

       D．Neither of Japanese and South Korean’s research.

4．The last three paragraphs in the text is used to __________.

（重慶市西南師大附中2010屆高三第七次月考B篇）

Alia Sabur, from North, NY, US, went to college at the age of 10. And by at the age of 14, Sabur was earning a bachelor of science degree in applied mathematics from stony Brook University – the youngest female in US history to do so. Her education continued at Drexel University, where she earned an MS and a Phd.(博士學(xué)位) in materials science and engineering.

With an unlimited future ahead of her, Sabur directed her first career choice to teaching. “I really enjoy teaching, ” she said. She was three days short of her 19th birthday in February, 2008, when she was hired to become a professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea. This distinction(差異) made her the youngest college professor in history, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, beating the previous record held by Colin Maclaurin, a student of physicist Isaac Newton, in 1717.

Although she doesn’t start until next month, Sabur has taken up teaching math and physics courses at Southern University in New Orleans. Sabur is old enough to teach, but not to join her fellow professors in a bar after work. In South Korea, where the drinking age is 20, she might have more luck. In traditional Korean culture, children are considered to be 1 year old when they are born, and add a year to their age every New Year instead of their actual birthday, so in Korea Sabur is considered 20.

On top of her unprecedented(空前的) academic achievements, Sabur has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do(跆拳道). She is also a talented clarinet(豎笛) player who has performed with musicians like Lang Lang and Smash Mouth. So is there anything Sabur can’t do?

60.We learn from the passage that Sabur is _________.

A. the world’s youngest female teacher

B. Drexel University’s youngest student

C. the world’s youngest college professor

D. American’s youngest bachelor of science

61.What does the author mean by saying “she might have more luck” in Paragraph 3?

A. Sabur is lucky to be hired by Konkuk University.

B. Sabur will be permitted to drink in Korean bars.

C. Sabur would be allowed to attend parties in South Korea.

D. Sabur is old enough to teach at Konkuk University.

62.What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph?

A. Sabur has her own way of relaxing.                   B. Sabur spends little time on her studies.

C. Sabur is talented in a lot of ways.                  D. Sabur likes music more than sports.

63.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A. Sabur went to college when she was ten years old

B. by aged 14, Sabur got a bachelor of science degree

C. the drinking age in South Korea is twenty years old

D. Alia Sabur was born in February 1989 in the United States
