The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets. About thirty metres away, a boat pulled alongside the slippery steps leading  21 to the sea.

“Hey, look!” exclaimed Rahim. “Those two men are  22  heavy rocks. I thought we no longer do muscle labour in this technological   23  . ”

“You don’t  24  a crane(起重機(jī))to unload less than a dozen rocks, do you?” smiled Joshua.

“You’re right, Josh.He may have a small build,   31    he certainly well knows his job. Dear me! And to think we have been studying   32   ! ” Rahim thought about all that was happening. Suddenly, he said, “Technology won’t   33   the human being completely, it appears.”

“I don’t think it will. ”  34   Joshua. “You can harvest a crop of potatoes or wheat with one of those large, multi-purpose tractors, but you 35   use that equipment to harvest tea leaves and tomatoes, will you?”

“You can get a computer to    36   multiple-choice assessments, but you cannot get the computer to produce or assess essays, can you?” asked Michael.

“Well, the washing machine leaves my shirt collar quite as   37   as ever --- that’s domestic technology for you! ” said Rahim.

“One day, perhaps, there won’t be anybody   38   who can carry a large rock the way those men do. It’s not going to be a very  39   world, I’m afraid.” Sighed Michael.

“You’re too much of a pessimist (悲觀主義者),Mike.” Said Joshua. “   40  will always be other things that will make the world exciting. ”

Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies. Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic(重實(shí)效的) considerations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection. Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters are expected to marry “well”-----that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background and earning potential. Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance(輕蔑地)at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no part.

 The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find one another personally and physically attractive. They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty(充滿幻想的), even irrational manner, decide that they are right for one another, and may then enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love. Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed(贊同)throughout American popular culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV.

 Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainly provide a basis for the spouses to “l(fā)ive happily ever after.” But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations”----as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history. Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family(小家庭).

1. Romantic love is less frequently found in many non-industrial societies because people in these societies_______.

   A . firmly believe that only money can make the world go round

   B. fail to bring the imaginative power of the mind into full play

   C. fondly think that flights of fancy prevent them from making a correct choice of partner

   D. have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whom

2. The word eligible (in Line5, Para. l), could best be replaced by ____.

 A . qualified   B. available  C. chosen  D. influential

3. According to the passage, most Americans _____.

   A. expect their daughters to fall in love with a male at first sight

   B. regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriage

   C. look up to those who marry for the sake of wealth

   D. consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the world

4. What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic love?

   A. It is a common occurrence among the old.

   B. It is primarily depicted by books.

   C. It is characterized by mutual attraction and absorption.

   D. It is rejected as unreasonable.

5. The author seems to believe that ___________

   A. romantic love makes people unable to think clearly in the process of mate selection

   B. only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever after

   C. much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriage

British and American scientists are raising genetically modified(轉(zhuǎn)基因的) pigs in the hope of providing organs for transplant(移植) to humans, the project leader wrote in a newspaper Sunday.

Scientists in London and California have begun conducting the genetic experiments to find a solution to record–long waiting lists for organ transplants, Robert Winston said in an opinion piece written for Britain's Sunday Times.

In Britain alone, around 8,000 patients are waiting for a transplant.

"People needing a new heart or liver are waiting for someone else to die – usually a violent death in a traffic accident," Winston wrote in the newspaper. He said his team was "trying to modify pigs so their organs might save the lives of humans."

The scientists are introducing human genes into the animals to reduce the chances of the organs being rejected by patients, as has been common in previous attempts to use animal tissues, said Winston, who heads the Institute of Reproductive and Developmental Biology at London's Hammersmith Hospital.

Working with Dr. Carol Redhead of the California Institute of Technology, Winston's team has injected human genes directly into male piglets(豬仔), adding them to the animal's sperm(精子).

He said that pigs involved in experiments had successfully produced transgenic sperm, but acknowledged that British and European laws had prevented the team from using the pigs to mate.

The Sunday Times newspaper reported that the experiments would be moved to the United States following difficulties with funding and regulations in Britain. It said the pigs would be bred in Missouri.

"Our U.S. friends will benefit from our technology and the income we might have produced for Britain will be lost," Winston wrote.

Some scientists have previously blamed the idea of using animal organs for human transplant, saying the technique risks spreading animal viruses to humans. Winston said his research project is attempting to breed virus-free pigs.

1. Scientists are introducing human genes into the animals to ____________.

A. make the organs healthier

B. reduce the pain of animals

C. make the organs live longer

D. reduce the chances of rejection

2. Some scientists have blamed the idea of using animal organs for human transplant because ____________.

A. the technique is not perfect now

B. humans may be infected with animal viruses

C. it is against laws and regulations

D. it may cause a conflict between humans and animals

3. According to Winston, it seems ___________ to Britain to move the experiments to the United States.            

A. a pity

B. a pride

C. a disaster

D. a good idea

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.

A. animal organs are commonly used for human transplant now

B. lots of patients need animal organ transplants now

C. examples of the animal tissues being rejected have happened

D. it is not safe to use animal organs for human transplant
