B

Whatever our differences as human beings are, we all think we’re more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 per cent of our genetic（遺傳的）structure with the simple worm.

But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome（染色體組.

To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode（線蟲類的）worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and what can be done to make it better.

What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of cells in the human body is programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up.

Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed. When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.

60．Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has        .

       A．found that human beings are similar to the worn

       B．got the fact we share 40 per cent of our genetic structure with the simple worm

       C．found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human body

       D．proved that cell death is programmed

61．People might be seriously ill if the cells in heir body        .

       A．grow without being instructed B．die regularly

       C．fail to follow people’s instructions  D．develop in the human body

62．The underlined word “they” (paragraph 5) refers to        .

       A．cell deaths       B．diseases    C．instructions      D．cells

63．What is the subject discussed in the text?

       A．The theory of programmed cell deaths.

       B．A great scientist—Sir John Sulston.

       C．The programmed human life.

       D．Dangerous diseases.

I met them several times as I moved  42  the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away  43   .

I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a  44  when the couple approached the    45   .Before they left, the man  46  into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He  47  it into a long stick and then  48  his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket.

“Can't see! You're  51  . He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said. “His wife 52  each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I learned something about patience,   53  and love that day.

完形填空 (共20小題；每小題1分，滿分20分)

閱讀下面短文, 掌握其大意,然后從各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)A、B、C、D中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng), 并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

Your parents have just told you the news­­—you’re moving to a new house. How in the world will you tell your friends?

First, CALM DOWN.  36   a while to ­­­catch your breath and let the news sink in before you call your friends. Make   37   you have the whole story before you start telling people.

38  friends who need to hear the news from you. Think about  39  you’d like to tell them, and when. A face-to-face talk may be the best way to let  40  frie-

nds know, but the phone may be fine for others.   41  after school or on a weekend is good. You don’t want to drop big news like this on your friends during the school day.

HOW SHOULD YOU START? Say something like, “I have some big news I want to share   42   you.” That will prepare your friend for what is going to come. Then say, “I’m    43  .” Tell him as many details as you know,  44   let him know how you feel about it.

Each friend will have a different   45  to the news, so BE PREPARED. Some girls may   46  crying. But some may get   47  , some may get silly, and some may give you the   48   that they don’t care.   49  happens, be sure to talk to your friends if the things they do and say   50  your feelings.

Ask friends not to tell anyone else   51  you say it’s OK. You could say, “Please don’t tell   52  until Monday.” That will give you a   53  to let close friends hear the news from you first.

Ask your parents for help if you need it. A(n)   54  may be able to help you

55   the right things to say and help you understand your friend’s reactions.
