Any student is permitted to take a weeks holiday during a 12-week course.BHalf a century ago, Japan built the worlds first high-speed rail net
28、work-a network that remains the gold standard in train travel today. Currently the county is now helping Texas build its own bullettrain, a potential game-changer for transportation in the stale.When it launched on October l, 1964, the worlds first high-speed rail network was known as the “super-exp
29、ress of dreams.“ The first line in Japans now world-famous shinkansen network was built against all odds, in the face of fierce public opposition, technical difficulties and astronomical costs -Half a century ago, the system was far humbler. In 1964, the first track was a 320-mile-long link between
30、Tokyo and Osaka that reduced the trip from six-and-a-half hours (on conventional trains) to three hours and 10 minutes, traveling at a maximum speed of 200 miles per hour. For the first time, workers could get to meetings in one city during the day and be back home drinking a beer in the local pub t
31、hat night.Not only did the train expand mobility profoundly, but also businesses appeared around the major stops as a growing emphasis on productivity swept across Japan. Today, the shinkansen network has1,487 miles of track, with more set to open in the coming years. It seems that everything the sh
32、inkansen touches turns to city, and regions that are off the beaten track, so to speak, benefit greatly from the economic jumpstart brought by the train. New shinkansen lines are often proceeded by aggressive marketing campaigns promoting tourism in those areas, a strategy that seems to work.Despite
33、 its astronomical costs, it actually has saved more. Today, over 350,000 annual trips transport tens of millions of passengers all over Japan with efficiencythe average delay time is less than a minute. A research report titled 30 Years of High-Speed Railways: Features and Economic and Social Effect
34、s of The Shinkansen by Hiroshi Okada, estimates that the economic impact from the shinkansen train network, based on the time saved from faster travel, is approximately 500 billion ($4.8 billion USD) per year. Okada stresses that the cultural impact is also significant, a shinkansen offers people li
35、ving far from urban centers “easy access to concerts, exhibitions, theaters, etc.,enabling them to lead fuller lives.“ .Japan has a plan, known as the One-Day Travel Initiative. Its goal: regardless of where you are in Japan, it should only take you three hours to get to the nearest major regional c
36、ity (Tokyo. Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo or Fukuoka). The planned impact of this hyper-mobility is to discourage the tide of migration toward urban centers, like Tokyo, and encourage decentralization.58. What can we learn about Shinkansen network from the passage?A. It didnt change peoples life much.B. It
37、 was built despite many difficulties.C. It has little effect on economy and culture.D. It was not worth the money despite its benefits.59. According to Okada, what cultural impact does a shinkansen have on people living far from urbancenters?A. Saving more travelling time. B. Enjoying a more colorfu
38、l life,C. Creating massive employment. D. Accumulating vast wealth.60. What is the main purpose of the One-Day Travel Initiative?A. To promote reasonable distribution of population.B. To advocate urban lifestyle among migrants.C. To satisfy the increasing needs of urban centers.D. To include more ci
39、tizens in urban centers.CIf you could change your childs DNA in the future to protect them against diseases, would you? It could be possiblebecause of technology known as CRISPR-Cas, or just CRISPR.CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger/designed to work on one part of DNA; it also uses
40、 an enzyme (酶) that can take unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to The Economist. There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly.The uses of GRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimers to cancer to HIV, By all
41、owing doctors to put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patients immune system, the technology 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
42、 anyone had ever tried to edit DNA from human beings. With this in mind, the USNational Academy 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
43、 currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities.There are also moral questions around “playing God”. Of course, medicine already stopsnatural things from happeningfor example, it saves people from infections. Theopportunities to treat diseases make it hard to
44、 say we shouldnt keep going.A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit human germ-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 b
45、ack in. It may be up to us as a society to decide when and where editing the genome is wrong.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; paren
46、ts might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs.”In the end, more research is still needed to see what we can and cant do with CRISPR. “It s still a huge mystery how we work,” Craig Mello, a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe. “Were just t
47、rying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life.”61. What is the article mainly about?A. How CRISPR was developed by scientists.B. What we can and cant do with CRISPR.C. Chinese scientistsexperiment of using CRISPR to edit human embryos.D. The advantages of CRISPR and arguments abo
48、ut its ethics.62. According to the article, 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 DN
49、A and the qualities it gives people 63. It 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 diseases64. What is the author attitude toward CRISPR?A. Supportive. B. Worrie
