DNA ( Deoxyribonucleic acid ) is one of the most important discoveries in science. DNA is the plan for the human being , as a blueprint is the plan for building. DNA makes a person look the way he does. A person's DNA. comes from a mixing of his parents' DNA. That's why a child looks like his parents. But, besides controlling things such as height and hair color, DNA can also give people diseases , Scientists are now studying DNA to cure diseases.
In the seventies, scientists developed a process called recombinant (重新組合) or RDNA. Although it sounds difficult to understand, RDNA simply means taking DNA from one animal or plant and putting it into another. By doing so, scientists can create new beings. In so doing, scientists can better understand DNA, especially what parts of DNA do . After they understand DNA, scientists can begin to cure diseases. Often, the new being created will itself be the cure.
Besides curing diseases, RDNA research can also do other things. For example, scientists in Japan have already created “super-trees”. Trees help humans, because they take CO2, which poisons humans, from the air and turns it into oxygen, which lets humans breathe. “Super-trees” do this too, but do if much faster. As things such as cars and factories have already put much CO2 in the area, “super-trees” are badly needed.
Unfortunately, there is serious danger in RDNA research. Scientists want to create animals to cure old diseases, but these new animals may also create new diseases. It will be a serious problem if the animals escape from the science laboratory and into nature. As these animals are not natural, they may let loose many new powerful diseases.
As a result, RDNA research will create many solutions (解決方案), but it will also create many problems.
67. From the passage, we can know that a boy looks like his parents because________
A. he is son of his parents
B. his parents' DNA decides his appearance
C. he has received DNA from his father or his mother

68. What does the underlined expression “l(fā)et loose” probably mean?
A. let... go free B. get rid of C. absorb D. survive
69. What is the best title for the passage?
The DNA Research in Japan
B. A New Way of DNA Research in Japan
C. The Causes and Effects of DNA Research

70. The following statements are true about RDNA research EXCEPT_____.

Like many other high school seniors, I eagerly anticipate life after graduation. In less than three months, my belongings will be packed up and shipped to the other side of the country.
I had never imagined, in my wildest dreams, that I would attend college in Ithaca, New York. I had had my heart set on a university in California and of majoring in English.
Nearly all of my friends are staying in state, and I remember thinking to myself, when one friend said she would be going to college in Virginia: Why would someone ever choose to move away from California?
But by a twist of fate, I received a letter from Ithaca College, inviting me to apply for a program in communications. On a while, I decided to apply. What were the chances that I would be selected as a finalist? If I hadn’t applied, I would have always regretted not trying. Yet secretly, I hoped that I wouldn’t be chosen.
But, as things turned out, I was offered one of the scholarships. I also received admission letters from the other colleges I had applied to, all of which were California schools.
As I began to weigh my options, I wrote out a pro/con (利弊) list for each of my schools. I began to realize that my reasons for wanting to go to certain schools in California were based on considerations of comfort. It would be so reassuring to be close to my family and my home.
Then I began to think about the expensive tuitions (學(xué)費) and class shortages in the California public school system. These issues were not likely to greatly improve in the next four years. Slowly, I came to the conclusion that Ithaca was the ideal choice for me – culturally, academically and financially.
Fear of the unknown should not be a reason for shying away from opportunities. It might be difficult to adapt to my new situation, but I am confident I have made the right decision.
64. What is the point of the article?
A. To introduce the advantages of studying at Ithaca College.
B. To tell readers what matters when applying to a college.

D. To compare the differences between Ithaca College and California schools.
65. The author decided to go to Ithaca College because ______.
A. she wasn’t accepted by any of her dream schools in California
B. she has a great interest in Ithaca College’s communications program
C. she was offered a scholarship by Ithaca College but not by colleges in California
D. she thinks that teaching and classes are better at Ithaca College than at California schools
66. Judging from the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The author had never thought of going to college in New York.
B. The author is independent and likes adventure.
C. The author believes it will be easy to adapt to college life.

C. That nothing we want in life can be achieved without effort.

The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water．This may seem strange to you，since nearly 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered with water．But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water．Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent-the fresh water from rivers，lakes，underground，and other sources．And we cannot even use all of that，because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glacier．Even worse，some of it has been polluted．
However，as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us．But our need for water is increasing rapidly-almost day by day．Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on．
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water．One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it．
Today in most large cities，water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system．From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks．But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying plant．There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again，just as if it were fresh from a spring．
But even if every large city purified and reused its water，we still would not have enough．All we'd have to do make use of the vast reserves of sea water in the world is to remove the salt．
If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up．
56．The world is thirsty for water because we can only use percent of the water covering the surface of the earth．
A．3 B．more than 3 C．less than 3 D．97
57．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A．As things remain unchanging，this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us．
B．Our need for water is becoming larger and larger．
C．There will be no water shortage in the future．
D．We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem．
58．To reuse water, we should ．
A．treat it with chemicals B．use it only once
C．send it out into a sewer system D．make it flow into underground tanks
59．In order to have enough water．we should also make use of ．
A．icebergs and glaciers B．sea water
C．rivers and lakes D．underground water
