18、Slovenian Davo Kamicar became the first person to ski non-stop down Mount Everest.After a dramatic fall over almost sheer cliffs of snow, stones and ice, 38-year-old Kamicar emerged in his base camp after five hours of skiing. “I feel only absolute happiness and absolute tiredness,” he said.At one s
19、tage he had to speed over stretches of ice that collapsed and broke underneath him and could have sent him falling into the deep crevasses(裂缝) that dot the mountain.The descent had been seen by many as insanely dangerous. The Darwin Awards website, which documents deaths which are foolhardy, urged p
20、eople to log on to Internet broadcasts of the attempt. “Keep your eyes peeled for a live Darwin Award,” it said.However, the only body to make the news was the corpse of an unknown mountaineer which Kamicar zipped past as he descended, one of an estimated 120 corpses, thought to litter the slopes.“T
21、his mountain is always full of surprises. Seeing a dead man out there was a really shocking experience,” he said.Thanks to strategically placed cameras on the mountain and one attached to his safety helmet, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed his descent on the Internet, which was one of the r
22、ecord highs ever. During the run more than 650,000 hits were registered on his expedition website jamming it for a time as others tried to access the site.Weather conditions were so severe that Kamicar had to abandon plans to rest on the summit before attempting to descend. Instead, suffering from f
23、atigue, as soon as he reached the top he put on his skis and flung himself back down the mountain.Dealing with the mountain had already cost Kamicar two fingers when a previous failed attempt saw him get frostbite as a fierce storm lashed the peak.Kamicar comes from a skiing family and took part in
24、his first Himalayan skiing expedition in 1989. Since then, he has been tireless in raising funds and sponsorship for more expeditions, with Everest as the permanent goal.29.

Body of mountaineer found on EverestDIf you could change your childs DNA in the future to protect them against
28、diseases, would you? It could be possible because of technology known as CRISPR-C as, or just CRISPR.CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designed to work on one part of DNA; it also uses an enzyme (酶) that can take unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to The Economist.
29、 There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly.The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimers to cancer to HIV, By allowing doctors to put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patients immune system, the tech
30、nology could help greatly.In April scientists in China said they had tried using CRISPR to edit the genomes (基因组) of human embryos. Though the embryos would never turn into humans, this was the first time anyone had ever tried to edit DNA from human beings. With this in mind, the US National Academy
31、 of Sciences plans to discuss questions about CRISPRs ethics (伦理问题).For example, CRISPR doesnt work properly yet. As well as cutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too. In addition, we currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities.There
32、are also moral questions around “playing God”. Of course, medicine already stops natural things from happeningfor example, it saves people from infections. The opportunities to treat diseases make it hard to say we shouldnt keep going.A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit human germ-
33、line (种系) cells and make changes that are passed on to children. This is banned in 40 countries and restricted in many others. However, CRISPR means that if genes can be edited out, they can also be edited back in. It may be up to us as a society to decide when and where editing the genome is wrong.
34、Also, according to The Economist, gene editing may mean that parents make choices that are not obviously in the best interests of their children: “Deaf parents may prefer their children to be deaf too; parents might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs.”In the end, more research
35、 is still needed to see what we can and cant do with CRISPR. “Its still a huge mystery how we work,” Craig Mello, a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe. “Were just trying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life.”33. According to the articl
36、e, the technology of CRISPR .A. is very safe because it only cuts the DNA it is looking forB. is banned in 42 countries and restricted in many others C. could cause parents to make unwise choices for their childrenD. could help us discover the link between DNA and the qualities it gives people 34. I
37、t can be concluded from the article that CRISPR .A. could be helpful in the treatment of cancer and HIVB. allows scientists to edit genomes for the first timeC. is a technology that uses an enzyme to work on RNA and DNAD. has proven to be the most effective way to protect children against diseases35

39、ut the meaning or spelling of a word. Dictionaries are considered the final authority on these matters as well as on pronunciations and other facts about a word.Until a few hundred years ago, however, people could not “look it up” because there were no English dictionaries. The ancient Greeks and Ro
40、mans and the scholars of the Middle Ages had made lists of Latin and Greek words. 36 The first great English dictionary listing both common and uncommon words was written by Samuel Johnson in 1755.In America, the most famous name in dictionary writing is that of Noah Webster. He stressed American ra
41、ther than British ways of speaking. His great dictionary, which first appeared in 1828, has been republished many times. 37 The latest edition is still considered “the” dictionary. It defines over 450,000 words, including radar, television and many others undreamed of by Webster.38 The huge ones tha
42、t rest on stands in libraries are called unabridged, meaning “not shortened.” They tell not only a words meaning and spelling but also its pronunciation, origin, history, part of speech, grammatical forms, and ways of use. The smaller ones do not provide all this information. 39 A bilingual dictiona
43、ry, such as a Spanish-English dictionary, translates words from one language into another. A thesaurus lists other words that mean the same as each listed word. A gazetteer lists place names, and a glossary is a small dictionary in a book defining technical words in that book. There are also diction
44、aries of scientific terms and ones on many other topics. There is even a dictionary of slang. 40 The dictionary is one of our most valuable language tools.A. Each time, it has been updated. B. General dictionaries are not the only kind.C. Thus there are many kinds of special dictionaries.D. In a gen
45、eral dictionary, each word may have multiple meanings.E. Dictionaries that list all kinds of words are known as general dictionaries.F. Over the previous 150 years more than 20 dictionaries had been published. G. But it was not until 1604 that a book of uncommon English words appeared. 第 三 部 分 英 语 知
