"Well ,we're in our new house. Let's get a new pet to go along with it.Mrs Brown said to her husband.

"That sounds like a pretty good idea ,"he answered. "Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?"

" Let-s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go ,"she said.

The next morning the Browns met MrS now at the animal shelter. "We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes ,"Mr Snow said ,"so I need to ask you some questions. " After they talked for a while ,the Browns decided to get a small dog. It wouldn't need-a big

house or a big yard; A small dog would bark(吠) and warn them if someone tried to break into their house. After Mr Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care ,they chose one and wanted to take her home right away. But the animal doctor hadn't checked her yet. So Mrs now told them to return on Sunday.

On Sunday afternoon the Browns went to the animal shelter. The animal doctor said, "Shadow has had all of her shots(预防针). She will be healthy. "The Browns thanked the doc- tor and took Shadow home.

Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.

Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals ( 珊瑚 ) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products form. the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.

1、Some birds like to sit on a sheep because ( ).

A、they can eat its parasites

B、 they depend on the sheep for existence

C、 they enjoy traveling with the sheep

D、 they find the position most comfortable

2、The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ( ).

A、birds and parasites

B、birds and sheep

C、parasites and sheep

D、sheep, birds and parasites

3、What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ( )

A、Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.

B、 Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.

Tracking Down HIV

  In the summer of 1980, a patient had a strange purplish spot removedfrom below his ear. It was Kaposi’s sarcoma, a rarefm of skin cancer. This patient also had lymph node swelling exhaustion.In November 1980, a Los Angeles immunologist examined a young man who haddiseases linked to immune system malfunctions. The doct had a T-cell counttaken of the patient’s blood. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that playsa key role1 in immune responses. The patient had no helper T-cells.

  By the end of 1980, 55 Americans were diagnosed with infectionsrelated to immune system breakdown; four had died. A year later the death tollwas 74. Intravenous drug users had T-cell abnmalities. People who hadreceived blood transfusions showed symptoms of immune system breakdown. By July1982, 471 cases of the disease, now called Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome(AIDS), had been repted; 184 people had died.

  In April 1984, American virologist Dr. Robert Gallo isolated thepathogen, disease producer, responsible f2 AIDS. He called it HTLV-III. InParis, Dr. Luc Montagnier identified a virus he called LAV. An internationalpanel of scientists determined that both men had found the same virus. Itbecame known as Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Blood banks began screeningf HTV in 1985, but by then about 29,000 people had been infected throughblood transfusions. Some 12,000 hemophiliacs had contracted HIV throughblood-clotting products. By 1995, 477,900 Americans had AIDS; 295,500 had died.

  In 1996, researchers announced drugs that reduced HIV in infectedpeople. Today scientists are testing vaccines believe that if HIV can besuppressed, then perhaps it can be eradicated3, but it is still a race againsttime.

An Essential Scientific Process

All life on the earth depends upon green plants. Using sunlight, theplants produce their own food. Then animals feed upon the plants. They take inthe nutrients the plants have made sted. But that’s not all.Sunlight also helps a plant produce oxygen. Some of the oxygen is used by theplant, but a plant usually produces me oxygen than it uses. The excess oxygenis necessary f animals other ganisms to live.

The process of changing light into food oxygen is calledphotosynthesis. Besides light energy from the sun, plants also use water carbon dioxide. The water gets to the plant through its roots. The carbondioxide enters the leaves through tiny openings called stomata. The carbondioxide travels to chloplasts, special cells in the bodies of green plants.This is photosynthesis takes place. Chloplasts contain the chlophyllsthat give plants their green col. The chlophylls are the molecules thattrap light energy. The trapped light energy changes water carbon dioxide toproduce oxygen a simple sugar called glucose.

Carbon dioxide oxygen move into out of the stomata. Watervap also moves out of the stomata. Me than 90 percent of water a planttakes in through its roots escapes through the stomata. During the daytime, thestomata of most plants are open. This allows carbon dioxide to enter the leavesf photosynthesis. As night falls, carbon dioxide is not needed. The stomataof most plants close. Water loss stops.

If photosynthesis ceased, there would be little food other ganicmatter on the earth. Most ganisms would disappear. The earth’s atmospherewould no longer contain oxygen. Photosynthesis is essential f life on ourplanet.

考题 问答题Practice 2  Transgenic plants and animals result from genetic engineering experiments in which genetic material is moved from one organism to another, so that the latter will exhibit a characteristic. Business corporations, scientists, and farmers hope that transgenic techniques will allow more cost-effective and precise plants and animals with desirable characteristics that are not available using up to date breeding technology.  Transgenic techniques allow genetic material to be transferred between completely unrelated organisms.  In order for a transgenic technique to work, the genetic engineer must first construct a transgene, which is the gene to be introduced plus a control sequence. When making a transgene, scientists usually substitute the original promoter sequence with one that will be active in the correct tissues of the recipient plant or animal.  The creation of transgenic animals is one of the most dramatic advances derived from recombinant DNA technology. A transgenic animal results from insertion of a foreign gene into an embryo. The foreign gene becomes a permanent part of the host animals’ genetic material. As the embryo develops, the foreign gene may be present in many cells of the body, including the germ cells of the testis or the ovary. If the transgenic animal is fertile, the inserted foreign gene (transgene) will be inherited by future progeny. Thus, a transgenic animal, once created, can persist into future generations. Transgenic animals are different from animals in which foreign cells or foreign organs have been engrafted. The progeny of engrafted animals do not inherit the experimental change. The progeny of transgenic animals do.  The techniques for creating a transgenic animal include the following: 1) picking a foreign gene, 2) placing the foreign gene in a suitable form called a “construct” which guides the insertion of the foreign gene into the animal genome and encourages its expression, and 3) injecting the construct into a single fertilized egg or at the very early embryo stage of the host animal. Much genetic engineering goes into the choice of a foreign gene and building a construct. The construct must have promoters to turn on foreign gene expression at its new site within the host animal genome. By choosing a particular promoter and splicing it in front of the foreign gene, we can encourage expression of our transgene within a specific tissue.  One of the most important applications of transgenic animals is the development of new animal models of human disease. Transgenic animals can serve as models for many malignant tumors. Mice have been the most frequent hosts for transgenic modification, other domestic animals have also been used. One idea has been to create transgenic cows which secrete important pharmaceutical substances in their milk. Other attempts are being made to express human interferon in the milk of sheep.  A transgenic crop plant contains a gene or genes which have been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring them through pollination. The inserted gene sequence (known as the transgene) may come from another unrelated plant, or from a completely different species: transgenic BT corn, for example, which produces its own insecticide, containing a gene from a bacterium. Plants containing transgenes are often called genetically modified or GM crops although in reality all crops have been genetically modified from their original wild state by domestication, selection and controlled breeding over long periods of time.正确答案:参考译文 转基因动植物系遗传工程实验的产物,在这个实验中,一个生物体的遗传物质被移入另一个生物体内,因而后者就能显示出新的特征。商界、科学家和农民都希望转基因技术能够培育出更具价格优势、而且是最近的培育技术无法培育的恰遂人愿的动植物。转基因技术能使遗传物质在两种完全不相干的生物体之间进行转移。 为了启用转基因技术,基因工程师必须首先培育一个转基因,转基因即含有受控序列的用于移植的基因。在培育转基因时,科学家通常用一个将在受体动物或植物的恰当组织中活动的启动子序列替代原有的启动子序列。 转基因动物的问世是重组DNA技术最激动人心的进展之一。把异体基因植入胚胎后即培育出转基因动物。这样异体基因就永远地成了宿主动物基因物质的一部分。随着胚胎的发育,异体基因有可能进入身体的许多细胞中,包括睾丸或卵巢的生殖细胞。如果转基因动物具有繁殖能力,植入的异体基因(转基因)就会遗传给下一代。因此,转基因动物一经培育成功,就能世代相传。转基因动物与植入异体细胞或异体器官的动物不一样。植入异体细胞或异体器官的动物发生的实验性变异不会遗传给下一代,而转基因动物的后代会继承转基因引起的变异。 转基因动物的培育主要采用以下的技术手段:1)选取一个异体基因,2)把异体基因置于某个合适的“结构体”(译者注:专业术语称plasmid,汉译“质粒”)中,这个结构体能把异体基因导入动物的基因组并能激活基因显现,3)把结构体注入宿主动物的一个单独的受精卵内或宿主动物的发育刚起步的胚胎中。基因工程的重头戏在于选择异体基因和培育结构体。这个结构体必须要有启动子,并靠启动子激活异体基因在宿主动物基因组的新部位上的基因显现。通过选择某个特别的启动子并把它粘接在异体基因表面,就能在某个特别的组织内激发转基因显现。 转基因动物最为重要的用途之一是开发培育出罹患人类疾病的新型动物。转基因动物可以用来培育罹患多种人类的恶性肿瘤的“模特儿”,老鼠是最常见的用于基因改造的宿主动物,当然还有别的家畜。人们设想培育一种转基因奶牛,能分泌出含有珍贵药物成分的牛奶,此外,人们正在尝试使羊奶中含有人类干扰素。 转基因植物内有一个或多个基因由人工导入,而并非通过天然授粉获得。导入的基因序列(即转基因)可能源于另一种与之毫不相干的植物,甚至会来自于完全不同的物种。例如,转基因Bt玉米就含有某种细菌的基因,能自身产生杀虫物质。体内含有转基因的植物常常称为遗传修饰过的作物,或GM作物,尽管事实上所有的农作物都是由最初的野生状态经过漫长岁月的驯化、优选和调控性育种使其基因得以改良。解析:暂无解析
