10、al fascination to a great many people. The more expensive kind of antique shop, where rare objects are beautifully 36 in glass cases to keep them free from dust, is usually a forbidding place. 37 no one has to gather courage to enter a less pretentious(装腔作势的) antique shop.

He has often 40 to me how he picked up a masterpiece for a mere 50. One Saturday morning, Frank visited a(n) 41 antique shop in my neighborhood. As he had never be

Frank gently lifted the crockery out of the box and suddenly noticed a miniature painting at the bottom of the packing-case. As its composition and line 48 him of an Italian painting he knew well, he decided to buy it. Gla

20、ill be technically possible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in healthcare, says Jay Flatley, the chief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences”, or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to m

21、ap infants genes when they are born, Dr Flatly told The Times.This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively.A babys genome can be discovered at birth by a blood te

22、st. By examining a persons genome, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing diseases such as cancers. Those at high risk can then be screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill. Personal genomes could also be used to ensure that patie

23、nts get the medicine that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have side-effects.The development, however, will raise legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals genetic records.“Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone, and you could

24、 possibly hand the information to their employer or their insurance company.” said Dr Flatley.“People have to recognize that this horse is out of the barn, and that your genome probably cant be protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind. Complete genetic privacy, however, is u

25、nlikely to be possible”, he added.As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted. The risk is nothing compared with the gain.56. In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly wants to tell us about . A. the significant medical prog

Genetic mapping technique is too horrible to control.C. People are eager to improve genetic mapping technique.D. Pe

28、ople cant stop genetic mapping technique advancing.BGmail turned six years old this week. Its somewhat amazing to think weve only had it since 2004; Gmail changed the webmail game forever by offering features we now take for granted: a streamlined interface(界面), powerful search, pioneering use of Aj

29、ax and a then-huge 1 GB of mailbox space. “Youll never need to delete another message” was how Google described it at the time. Back then, I was still making do with Hotmail. But its clumsy interface and tiny amount of storage space made the decision to move on an easy one. Getting an account made a

30、ll the difference in the world to my email experience. Suddenly I was freed from having to delete emails every few days to make space in my mailbox. And the app(application）was smooth and responsive, like a desktop client(客户端程序)-and pretty fast in comparison to Hotmail. “Conversation view” and using

31、 labels instead of folders took a little getting used to, but in all Gmail felt far more professional and made me much more productive. Gmail is a favorite app of ours ever on Web Worker Daily, and with good reason. Its still the best webmail client for web workers as it lets us access our email whe

32、never and wherever we need to, on any device, with minimum effort. And Google hasnt spent the five years sitting on its Gmail success, either, but has introduced improvements to the service that include Gmail Tasks, chat, video chat and voice chat, combined with Google Calendar and Docs, Google Apps

33、 for Domains, and, of course, even more storage. Weve recently covered the many features found in Gmail Labs: a way to “undo” sent messages, using canned responses for smart autoresponders, offline support using Gears and how to customize the way you view your mailbox using multiple inboxes. 59. The

34、 underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that _. A. we shouldnt take Gmail for grantedB. you can try to write any kind of messageC. Gmail can correct your mistakes of itselfD. you neednt worry about the mailbox space60. Which of the following is not Gmails striking feature?A. Offline supp

35、ort. B. Using labels. C. Undo sent messages. D. Mailbox space. 61. What can we infer from the passage?A. It is easier and more convenient to use folders. B. Quantities of people have chosen to use Gmail. C. Gmail had a video chat function when invented. D. Gmail and Hotmail were invented at the same

36、 time. 62. What is the best title of this passage?A. Gmail-a favourite app of oursB. Functions of a special email serviceC. Comparison between Gmail and HotmailD. Advantages and disadvantages of GmailsCFred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight, or hold more than one job.Once a week,

37、after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist (精神病大夫) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held secon

38、d jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of “Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side.”The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent

39、 of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.People also take second jobs with an eye to the future-wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unsta

40、ble. He wanted to make sure he wasnt tied to one system that ended up failing.Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries-no longer just service, office and sale jobs.“Technology just affects your ability to m

41、ake money.” Hausman says. “That makes a frequent change in moonlighting.”As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they f

42、ear it will affect their employees 9-to-5 performance.“The primary employer is saying, Wait, Im paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. “If youre burning yourself at both ends, its going to show.”Still, the good done to

43、the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.Besides, “its fun,” Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his pr

44、ofessional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldnt find just in a full-time job.“Its a way of pulling from the spice cabinet,” he says, “and offering a little variety throughout the day.”63. What is the article mainly about?A. The ways of moonlighting. B. The reason

45、s for moonlighting.C. The problems with moonlighting. D. The kinds of people who moonlight.64. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that _.A. he found it exciting to do a part-time job B. he needed to make ends meet with more moneyC. he feared he would lose his present job one day D. he

46、felt more and more pressure from his employer65. Some companies dont allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid _.A. their workers can not do extra-hour work for them B. their workers will be too tired to try their best at workC. their workers will one day turn to some other different

47、jobsD. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time66. The underlined sentence “Its a way of pulling from the spice cabinet” in the last paragraph means _.A. moonlighting gets you away from the job you dont enjoyB. moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra moneyC. moonlighting stre

48、ngthens your professional skillsD. moonlighting brings you chances to do something differentDIn the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters. We are pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes so they can get into the college of our first choi

49、ce. Ive twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening. We see our kids college background as a prize demonstrating how well weve raised them. But we cant acknowledge that our obsession(痴迷) is more about us than them. So weve made up various reasons that tu

50、rn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. It actually doesnt matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford.We have a full-blown prestige(声望) panic; we worry that there wont be enough prizes to go around. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Underlying th

51、e hysteria(歇斯底里) is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. All that sounds reasonable-and mostly wrong. We havent found any convincing evidence that selectivity or prestige

52、 matters. Selective schools dont systematically employ better instructional approaches than less selective schools. On two measures-professors feedback and the number of essay exams-selective schools do slightly worse.By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates lifetime earnings. T

53、he gain is estimated at 2-4% for every 100-point increase in a schools average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke(偶然). A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as much as graduates from highe

54、r-status schools.Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But its not the only indicator and, paradoxically, its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college is not lifes only competition

55、. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D. program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didnt.So, parents, lighten up. The advantages have been vastly exaggerated up to a point. We can r

56、ationalize(使合理化) our pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that, but too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being eq

57、ual, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints.67. Why does the author say that parents are the true fighters in the college-admissions wars? A. They have the final say in which univers

58、ity their children are to attend. B. They know best which universities are most suitable for their children. C. They have to carry out intensive surveys of colleges before children make an application. D. They care more about which college their children go to than the children themselves.68. Why do

59、 parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever? A. They want to increase their children chances of entering a prestigious college. B. They hope their children can enter a university that offers attractive scholarships. C. Their children will have a wider choice of which college to g

60、o to. D. Elite universities now enroll fewer students than they used to.69. What does the author mean by “kids count more than their college”(Line 1, Para.4)?A. Continuing education is more important to a persons success.B. A persons happiness should be valued more than their education.C. Kids actua
