the worlds" leading genome sequencing (基因图谱) company has predicted.
A complete DNA read-out for every newborn will 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 map infants" genes when they are born, Dr Flatley 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 baby"s genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test. By examining a person"s 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 patients 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
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 can"t be
protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind. Complete genetic privacy, however,
is unlikely 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.
B. the promise of a leading company
C. the information of babies" genes
D. the research of medical scientists
B. The risk of developing diseases at birth.
C. The side-effects of medicine on patients.
D. The letting out of personal genetic information.
B. Genetic mapping technique is too horrible to control.
C. People are eager to improve genetic mapping technique.
D. People can"t stop genetic mapping technique advancing.
B. Conservative.
C. Positive.
D. Doubtful.

dinosaurs. 1______ scientist Martin Sander"s work shows that they were probably fully 2______ (grow)
and belong to the smallest giant dinosaur species ever found.
Growth marks on dinosaur bones are similar 3______ growth rings on trees. The rings are far apart
while the animalis young and growing quickly. 4______ get closer as growth slows. "It is 5______ (exact)
these tight ring marks that we found in the fossil (化石) bones," says Sander. So the fossils must have been
from adult animals.
6______ was this German dinosaur so much smaller than other giant dinosaurs, which grew up to 45
metres long and weighed as much as a thousand humans?
150 million years ago, most of Germany was underwater. Scientists think that 7______ water levels rose,
there was less and less land and food available. The dinosaur 8______ (force) to adapt and evolved into a
smaller animal 9______ (need) less space and food.
Since 1998, scientists have dug up more than 1000 dinosaur fossils in the mine. It is one of the few places
in the world 10______ the bones and footprints of dinosaurs have been found together.
or "smart" accessories (附件, 饰品). Pocket heart-rate monitors for joggers and electronic maps are just the
first examples of many new products that promise to change our lives in all sorts of surprising ways.
As a scientist at New York University, Rosalind Picard tries out different smart accessories before they
go on the market. One of these was the so-called "frown (皱眉) headband". Rosalind was shocked to realize
just how often she frowned stuck in a traffic jam recently, Rosalind kept hearing the sounds of the tiny sensor
inside the band worn around her forehead-each time she frowned in annoyance, the sensor gave out a signal.
Another computer scientist, Steven Feiner, is working on a pair of glasses that will do more than help you
to see. Imagine you want to try a restaurant in a foreign city but you"re not familiar with the dishes on the
menu. If you are wearing a pair of steven"s glasses, all you have to do is glance above the restaurant"s doorway
and your glasses will immediately become windows to the Internet, offering you full details of the meals served
inside. The glasses could also be used to help people make speeches, give chefs access to the latest recipes
and even procide doctors with patient information while they carry out operations.
At the moment, steven"s invention looks more like a large ski mask than a pair of glasses. It"s a headset
collected to a hand held computer and a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, which tracks the wearer"s
position. But he says that these head-worn displays will eventually get smaller and lighter as technology
improves.
And, of course, this new technology has a fashiomble as well as a useful application. A chemical engineer
named Robert Langer has invented a new microchip that, if put inside a ring, can give off different smells
according to a person"s mood. That, of course, may or may not appeal to you. And, in the end, it is shoppers
not scientists, who will determine which of these smart accessories will succeed as fashionable items and
which are sure to join history"s long list of crazy inventions.
It is clear, however, that as computers get smaller and cheaper, they will pop up in all sorts of easily-
wearable accessories, even in the buttons on your coat. What"s more, this is something that"s going to happen
a lot sooner than we all expect.
B. how she was affected by the traffic
C. how strong the signal was
D. how uncomfortable it was
B. let them see a restaurant"s environment
C. inform them about a restaurant"s menu
D. tell them about a restaurant"s quality
B. Inconvenience.
C. High cost.
D. Poor Internet access.
B. Much more research is needed into them.
C. Only a few of them will appeal to shoppers.
D. Most of them are considered to be crazy inventions.
B. To tell interesting stories about smart accessories.
C. Tb argue that smart accessories are fashionable.
D. To introduce the idea of smart accessories.
on your age.
Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this
experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception (观察力) of some people, using pictures of some
orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included
151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.
The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger
than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct
circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.
Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded
by gray circles. Here"s where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded
by even smaller gray circles-making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was
the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles-so it appeared to
be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.
When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren"t fooled-they were still able
to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other
hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it
wrong most of the time.
As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other
words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange
circle in the middle. As a result, they"re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.
B. people"s ability to see accurately
C. children"s and adults" brains
D. the influence of people"s age
B. only adults over 18 got it right 95% 0f the time with gray ones around
C. children at 4 got it right about 79% of the time with gray ones around
D. adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around
B. an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size
C. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size
D. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size
B. 6
C. 10
D. 18
B. Because older people are influenced by their experience.
C. Because people"s eyes become weaker as they grow older.
D. Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.
into six groups and gave them an example:a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said.
Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering (餐饮)
service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and
global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational
system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came
in different forms during my two years" teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and
the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently
said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing
and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can
name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And
then there"s the "thousand-talent scheme": this new government program is intended to improve technological
modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries
about China"s research environment. It"s hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and
even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top
Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think
creatively. It"s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It"s not that simple.
B. Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains.
C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.
D. Because the students" ideas were lacking in creativeness.
B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.
C. Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.
D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.
B. theme
C. project
D. policy
B. high pay may not solve the problem of China"s research environment
C. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand
D. the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination
B. Reward Creative Thinking
C. How to Become a Creator
D. Establish a technical Environment
