II Reading Comprehension(40%)Read the following passages and answer the questions by choosing A，B，Cor D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1Scientists seeming to cure and prevent insulin-dependent diabetes havediscovered what goes wrong in the bodies of a special breed of mice prone tothe affliction and,using that knowledge,have developed a way to prevent thedisease in the Roberts.Because mouse diabetes is almost identical to human type 1 diabetes(alsocalled insulin-dependent or juvenile-onset diabetes),the researchers say theymay be ready to test their techniques on humans in five years and that atreatment for patients in the early stages of the disease could be ready to testin two years.In findingspublished in last weeks issue of Naturewere obtained by tworesearch groups working independently.One was led by Daniel L.Kaufaman,a molecular biologist at the University of California at Los Angeles,and theother by Hugh O.Mcdevit of Stanford University.“Theres great excitement at the prospects for this research”said JamesGavin,a diabetes specialist and president of the American DiabetesAssociation.“These are studies you have to call convincing.They are clearlylikely to have human applications.”Type 1 diabetes has long been known to be an autoimmune diseaseanailment in which the immune system,instead of defending the body againstinvading microbes,mistakenly attacks part of the body.In diabetes,it killsthe special cells in the pancreas that make insulin.Without insulin,cellscannot take in sugar.The body is deprived of sugar energy and itsaccumulation in the bloodstream damages nerves and other issues.Thepotential new treatments would either stop the immune system from making amistake or suppress an existing erroneous response.1Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A.The new treatment for diabetes has been applied to humans.B.There is not much difference between mouse diabetes and human typediabetes.C.The discovery of what goes wrong with a special kind of mice enablesscientists to find a way to prevent diabetes in humans.D.The discovery made by the research groups led by Daniel L.Kaufman andHugh Mcdevit is convincing.2According to scientists diabetes causes all the followingEXCEPT_.A.lack of insulinB.accumulation of sugar energyC.brain damagesD.disorder in the immune system3Scientists find that it is possible to cure diabetes by means of_.A.operation on pancreasB.stopping the accumulation of blood cellsC.accumulation sugar energyD.preventing the immune system from making mistakes4Rodents in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to a species ofanimals including all the following EXCEPT_.A.ratsB.rabbitsC.catsD.squirrels5With what can cells take in sugar?A.insulinB.pancreasC.diabetesD.immune system【答案与解析】1A 本题考查细节。根据文章第二段第二句“the researchers say theymay be ready to test their techniques on humans in five years and that atreatment for patients in the early stages of the disease could be ready to testin two years.”可知研究者准备五年后在人身上实验他们的技术，两年后治疗处于糖尿病初期的患者，因此这种对糖尿病的治疗方法还没有用到人类身上。故A项说法不正确。第一句提到“mouse diabetes is almostidentical to human type 1 diabetes”，由此可知鼠类的糖尿病与人类的一种糖尿病几乎一样，并没有太大区别，故B项说法正确。有文章第三段可知这些发现是由两个不同的团队独立完成的，第四段提到这些研究令人信服，故D项说法正确。第一段最后一句“.have developed a way toprevent the disease in the Roberts.”，此处的罗伯特并不是特指叫这个名字的人而是泛指人类。故C项说法正确。2C 最后一段提到糖尿病发生的原因。首先是免疫系统，它非但不抵御进去体内的细菌，反而攻击身体的某些部位，所以免疫系统混乱，不能正常工作，故D正确。糖尿病将胰岛里产生胰岛素的细胞杀死，没有了胰岛素就不能吸收糖分，糖分堆积在体液中和其他组织中，体内缺少糖分提供能量，故A，B正确。C在文中并未提及。3D 最后一段最后一句提到了这种治疗的新方法“he potential newtreatments would either stop the immune system from making a mistake orsuppress an existing erroneous response.”，或者组织免疫系统出错，或者压制现存的错误反应。故选D。4C rodent指啮齿类动物。选项中只有cat不属于啮齿类动物，猫属于猫科动物。故选C。5A 最后一段第二句话“In diabetes，it kills the special cells in thepancreas that make insulin Without insulin，cells cannot take in sugar.”由此可见胰岛素可以吸收糖分。故选A。Passage 2Every man is a philosopher.Every man has his own philosophy of life andhis special view of the universe.Moreover,his philosophy is important,moreimportant perhaps that he himself knows.It determines his treatment offriends and enemies,his conduct when alone and in society,his attitudetowards his home,his work,and his country,his religious beliefs,his ethicalstandards,his social adjustment and his personal happiness.Nations,too,through the political or military party in power,have theirphilosophers of thought and action.Wars are waged and revolutions incitedbecause of the clash of ideologies,the conflict of philippics.It has alwaysbeen so.World War II is but the latest and most dramatic illustration of thecombustible nature of differences in social and political philosophy.Philosophy,says Plato,begins with wonder.We wonder about the destructivefury of earthquakes,floods,storms,drought,pestilence,famine,and fire,themysteries of birth and death,pleasure and pain,change and permanence,cruelly and kindness,instincts and ideals,mind and body,the size of theuniverse and mans place in it.Our questions are endless.What is man?Whatis Nature?What is justice?What is duty?Alone among the animals man isconcerned about his origin and end,about his purposes and goals,about themeaning of life and the nature of reality.He alone distinguishes betweenbeauty and ugliness,good and evil,the better and the worse.He may be amember of the animal kingdom,but he is also a citizen of the world of ideasand values.Some of mans questions have had answers.Where the answer is clear,wecall it science or art and move on to higher ground and a new vista of theworld.Many of our questions,however,will never have final answers.Menwill always discuss the nature of justice and right,the significance of evil,theart of government,the relation of mind and matter,the search for truth,thequest for happiness,the idea of God,and the meaning of reality.The human race has reflected so long and often on these problems that thesame patterns of thought recur in almost every age.We should know whatthese thoughts are.We should know what answers have been suggested bythose who have most influenced ancient and modern thought.We shall wantto do our own thinking and find our own answers.It is,however,neithernecessary nor advisable to travel alone.Others have helped dispel thedarkness,and the light they have kindled may also illuminate our way.6In the passage,the author says that every man is a philosopher.This isbecause_.A.every man lives like a philosopherB.every man is aware of the importance of philosophyC.every man lives in accordance with his world outlookD.every man lives consciously7According to Plato,philosophy originated from_.A.what we dont knowB.some miraclesC.the question on what man isD.moral values8According to the author,we can trace the root of war in_.A.the power struggleB.the military competitionC.the conflict of ideasD.the racial contradiction9In the passage,the author implies that_.A.it is not good for people to travel aloneB.one should explore philosophical problems under the guidance of otherphilosophersC.one should follow the pa
