When Xia Min started drinking alcohol with classmates to celebrate her friend’ s birthday, she didn’t realize a tragedy was drawing near. She drank a lot and fell into a coma. The 15-year-old girl from Chongqing never recovered, leaving great sorrow for her family and friends. Xia’ s death is a warning to other students and society. As more and more teenagers are drinking alcohol , the government recently passed a new rule to stop them. Teens are not allowed to buy or drink alcohol. Shops are not allowed to sell it to them and must display warning signs. The rule will go into effect on January 1 ,2006. A 1999 Chinese law forbade’ shops to sell alcohol to underage youths. But it is not taken seriously by shopkeepers because it lacks specific punishments. Experts hope the new rule will work. It sets a 2,000 yuan fine for those who sell alcohol to underage youths. China doesn’t have a legal drinking age.But in China” underage” has been understood to mean under 18. “I tasted alcohol when having the dinner of the last Spring Festival Eve, “said Liang Yuqi, a 16-year-old girl in Xiamen.She believes that the new rule will stop students’ curiosity about alcohol and help them grow in a healthy way. “Although it may be a little disappointing not to have beer at celebrations, I think soft drinks can serve as well, “she said. 1.The passage is mainly about ________ A．the harmful effects of drinking alcohol B．the legal age for drinking alcohol C．a new rule to stop underage drinking D．students’ ideas about drinking alcohol 2.What can we know from the passage?

Not long ago, making a baby boy or a baby girl was pretty much a hit-or-miss affair, but not any more now. Parents who have accuracy, as Monique and Scott Collins learned to their delight two years ago, when their long-wished-for daughter Jessica was born after genetic pre-screening at a fertility clinic in Fairfax, Virginia. And baby Jessica is just the beginning. Within a decade or two, it may be possible to screen kids almost before pregnancy(怀孕) , such as how tall they are likely to be, what baby type they will have, their hair and eye color, and even their IQ and personality types. In fact , if gene therapy lives up to its promise, parents may some day be able to go beyond weeding out undesirable trials and start actually inserting the genes they want, perhaps even genes that have been crafted in a lab. Parents may be going to fertility clinics and picking from a list of choices the way car buyers order air conditioning or wheels. “It’s the most exciting shopping” experience designing your baby.” says biotechnology（生物工艺学） critic, Jeremy Rifkin, who is concerned about the prospect（前景）. “In a society that is used to cosmetic surgery（整形手术）, this is not a big step.” The prospect of designer babies, like many of the ethical（伦理）problems caused by the genetic revolution, is causing the doctors, ethicists, religious leaders and politicians of the whole world to start a fierce conflict , who are trying to decide how they feel about it all. They still have a bit of time. Apart from gender, the only trails that can now be identified at the earliest stages of development are about a dozen of the most serious genetic diseases. Gene therapy in embryos（胚胎） is at least a few years away. And the gene or combination of genes responsible for most of our physical and mental attributes hasn’t even been identified yet, so the idea of engineering genes in or out is of no practical meaning. 1.What is gene therapy supposed to do if it lives up to its promise? A．Screen a baby for sex. B． Choose a baby’ s eve color. C． Implant genes. D． Identify genetic disorder. 2.According to the passage , what scientists can do with the genetic testing technology now is to_______. A．screen a baby’s sex B．screen babies for desirable qualities C．put in genes parents want D．craft genes in a lab 3.What can best describe Jeremy Rifkin’s attitude toward designing babies through gene therapy? A．Strongly supportive B． Warmly welcome. C．Uninterested. D． Critical. 4.From the passage we know that . A．designing babies is purely scientific not to cause ethical problems B．designing babies may bring people a lot of ethical concerns C．scientists are now working against time to design babies D． people are concerned about the harm clone to science by designing babies

Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes---- a group of men, tall, strong and handsome. and women , young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurant, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models. Do you envy them? What sort of life are model leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man? A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a big money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine— models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high.Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done. Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modelling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fee and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. An agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and the tight figure. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell herself or himself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standard on the part of some employers. Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. If comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports. Modelling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority. 1.For models, their good looks and tight figures are_____ , compared with their qualifications and intelligence. A． more important B． less needed C．less essential D．more looked down upon 2.Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage? A．A model’s travelling expenses are usually paid by his employer. B．To be a model ,good looks are the most important qualification. C．Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay. D．A model can hardly be successful without a good agent. 3.Models often put “Secretary” or“Businessmen” instead of“Model” in their passports because . A．they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans B．a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies. C．models are sometimes looked down upon D．secretaries and businessmen are free of Customs duty 4.What may be the author’s attitude toward modelling? A．It is a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man. B． He is in favour of young people to try modelling. C． Before being crazy about a model job ,young people should be aware of the difficulties. D．It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.
5.The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by ________ A．doubtfully B．excitedly C．proudly D．sadly
