(A) He examined my face, “Hmmm,” he said quietly. “Are you a model?” Is he kidding? No way would anyone ever confuse me with a fashion model. I was ugly. After all, had the scar. The accident happened in fourth grade, when a neighbour boy threw a sharp stone through the side of my face. After a three-hour operation, a huge bandage covered half of my face for several months. “You’ll always be pretty to me,” Dad sighed, “even if you aren’t to the rest of the world.” Right Thanks. As if I couldn’t hear the unkind words of the other kids at school. As if I couldn’t see how different I looked from the pretty girls the teachers often paid attention to. As if I didn’t look at myself in the bathroom minor from time to time. In a culture that values beauty, an ugly girt is not accepted. “Of course I’m not a model,” I replied. The doctor crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me. “Since you’re not a model, what brought you here today?” The room began to swim before me, as my eyes were full of tears. The doctor sat down beside me. His voice was low and soft. “Let me tell you what I see. I see a beautiful woman. Not a perfect woman, but a beautiful woman. Even Elizabeth Taylor has a tiny scar on her forehead,” he said in a low voice. Then he paused a while. “When a person falls in love, if their mate has an imperfection, that imperfection becomes special.” As tears were rolling down my face. He said. “You are a very attractive woman with a very small imperfection. Whether you know it or not, it makes you special.” I left his office, not with the scar removed from my face, but with a tear removed from my heart. 54. How did the woman get a scar on her face? A.

It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism’s chromosomes (染色体), improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism. Unlike traditional breeding (繁殖), where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species. Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered (GE) foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased. Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers.But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. Unlike Europe, in the United States labelling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods. The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects. Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover, due to the lack of labelling if allergies (过敏) develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them. There is also a major moral question in many minds. For many, the conflict is not whether it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving. GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it. Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits arc amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk. 62. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering because ________. A. traditional breeding is more scientific B. traditional breeding takes place within the same species C. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same species D. traditional breeding changes the genes in different species 63. The underlined phrase “the lack of labelling” in Paragraph 4 indicates ________. A. the US government is responsible for GE food B. scientists try to hide potential dangers from customers C. it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergies D. information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customers 64. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because ________. A. we’re now producing more food than before B. there are potential dangers in producing GE food C. it won’t help solve the problem of hunger in the world D. neither customers nor corporations benefit from GE food 65. What is the author’s attitude towards genetic engineering? A. Optimistic. B. Welcoming. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned. Section C (4’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. What I Think of Boxing as a Sport Boxing is a popular sport. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. It could be the toughest of all sports to survive. It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer. ____66____ It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. ____67____ They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it. ____68____ Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. Besides, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing. They are usually in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out. To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing. ____69____. We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport. A. However, boxing can be a very dangerous sport. B. Sometimes fans are supporting a particular boxer. C. In boxing, fighters are required to hit a moving target. D. Many fans are drawn to the sport because they love the competition. E. Perhaps that is the reason why successful boxers are treated as big heroes. F. I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV. Ⅳ.
