Dear Mr. Price,
I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service, but what happened last Saturday made me very angry. It was my son’s birthday so we ordered a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p. m., we were given a table in the smoking area. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.
The first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a little insect in her vegetables. She was surprised and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic. When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she said sorry and took the food away.
We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that he was on holiday. I complained again about the terrible insect. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for the three meals including my wife’s. I argued with him but had to pay in the end.
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite

head waiter and a full refund（退款）for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.

Dear Editor,
I am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation. I will give you two examples.
Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I didn’t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but give me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me.
Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was expecting to meet his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world politics. It soon became clear that they didn’t know much. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the Internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.
I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Macdonald’s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this “lost generation”.

We know, painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away, and antibiotic(抗生素) from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. Can medicine come in chicken eggs? A team of scientists from Scotland say “yes.” They’ve kept some special chickens that lay eggs with disease-treating drugs inside. These drugs are made of molecules called proteins. Animals make thousands of proteins-they’re the main ingredients(成分) in skin, hair, milk, and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily, they’re good animals for making protein drugs.
Researchers have already made cows, sheep, and goats that pump out protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are cheaper to take care of, need less room, and grow faster than these other animals. “Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories.” says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens’ DNA-the code that tells cells how to make proteins so that the birds’ cells made two protein drugs. One drug can treat skin cancer, and the other treats a nerve disease called multiple sclerosis.
The scientists changed the chickens’ DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites. This protects the chickens’ bodies from the drugs’ possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.
These special chickens can pass on their drug-laying abilities to their chicks. So far, the Scottish researchers have kept five generations of drug-producing chickens. But the scientists
363074961.doc（6.21） 第 5 页 共 10 页
need to improve these chickens. The chickens don’t make enough drugs to treat people yet. Once the researchers perfect their technique, you might eventually take your medicine from chicken eggs.
49. What is the best title of the passage? A. Animals and Protein Drugs.
B. Medicine Packaged in Various Forms. C. A Scotland Scientist and His Chickens.
D. Chickens: a Better Choice of Living Drug Factories.
50. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?
A. It takes much shorter time for chickens to grow than cows, sheep and goats. B. Compared to cows, sheep and goats, chickens are less expensive to be raised.
C. Chickens can produce the best quality of drugs among the drug-producing animals. D. Chickens are smaller in size than cows, sheep and goats and therefore need less room. 51. Why did the chickens make the drugs only in the egg whites? A. Because it will help to collect the drugs easily.
B. Because it will not change the DNA of the chickens. C. Because it will be easy for the patients to take the drugs.
D. Because it will prevent possible harmful effects on the patients. 52. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Scottish researchers have kept five more drug-producing chickens.
B. This technique still needs improving so as to satisfy the normal application. C. In the future people with diseases will take eggs instead of pills.
D. The chicks need to be improved so as to carry the same ability as their parents.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate (保守的估计).”
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great push so that people can live from I20 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said

Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
53. By saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality,” Michael Zey means ______. A. they believe that there is no limit of living B. they are sure to find the truth about long living C. they have got some ideas about living forever
D. they are able to make people live past the present life span 54. Donald Louria’s attitude towards long living is that ______. A. people can live from 120 to 180
B. it is still doubtful how long humans can live
C. the human body is designed to last past about 120 years D. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future 55. What would be the best title for this text? A. Living Longer or Not
B. Science, Technology and Long Living C. No Limit for Human Life
D. Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living

四、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（一个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。（每题1分，共10分）。
Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?
If you get into such 56 (argue), try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The 57 , who took hold 58 the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
Each man’s idea of the animal came from his 59 experience. So if someone 60 (agree) with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often 61 his experience in the matter is different from yours.
To see 62 hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in 63 . Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm(温热的) water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put 64 hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s 65 . 363074961.doc（6.21） 第 7 页 共 10 页

Mr. Grey had a nice shop in the busy street of a small town. He sold jewelry, watches, and any other things. All goes well for some years, and then her shop was broken into at night twice in one month. Three weeks had been passed, yet the police had not done much to catch the thief, and Mr. Grey decided to do something about it. He bought a good camera and fixed it up in his shop. Also he put some cheaper jewelry in front of it for the thief, so that it could take a photo of anyone stole the jewelry.
A few nights later, the thief did come, but he was clever enough not to touch any of the cheap jewelry that Mr. Grey had put there for himself. He took only the camera, it was worth about five hundred pound. 六、作文（25分）
