1.Intel chairman Andy Grove has decided to cut the Gordian knot of the dispute on stem cell (干细胞) research by simply writing a check.The check,which he guaranteed last week,could be for as much as 55million,depending on how many donors make gifts of between 550,000and 5,500,000,which he has promised to match.It will be made out to the University'of California-San Francisco (UCSF).
Thanks in part to such private donations,university research into uses for human stem cells,the cells at the earliest stages of development that can form any body part,will continue in California.With private financial support,the state will be less likely to lose talented scientists who would be tempted to leave the field or even leave the country as research dependent on federal (联邦政府的)money slows to glacial (极慢的) pace.
Held back by limits President Bush placed on stem cell research a year ago,scientists are turning to labs that can carry out work without using federal money.This is awkward for universities,which must spend extra money building separate labs and keeping strict records proving no federal funds were involved.Grove's donation,a first step toward a﹩20million target at UCSF,will relieve the burden.
The president's decision a year ago to allow research on already existing stem cell lines was portrayed as a reasonable compromise (折中办法) between scientists'needs for cells to work with,and concerns that this kind of research could lead to wholesale creation and destruction of human embryos (胚胎),cloned infants and a general disrespect for human life.
But Bush's effort to please both sides ended up pleasing neither.And it certainly didn't provide the basis for cutting edge research.Of the 78existing stem cell lines which Bush said are all that science would ever need,only one is in this country (at the University of Wisconsin) and only five are ready for distribution to researchers.All were grown in conjunction with mouse cells,making future therapeutic ( 治疗的 ) uses unlikely.
The Bush administration seems bent on satisfying the small but vocal (直言不讳的) group of Americans who oppose stem cell research under any conditions.Fortunately,Groye and others are more interested in advancing scientific research that could benefit the large number of Americans who suffer from Parkinson's disease,nerve injuries,heart diseases and many other problems.

72.When Andy Grove decided to"cut the Gordian knot",he meant toC.
A.put an end to stem cell research
B.end Intel's relations with Gordian
C.settle the argument on stem cell research
D.prohibit Gordian from doing stem cell research
73.According to Bush's decision,American universities had toD.
A.conduct the research in labs overseas
B.abandon the research altogether
C.carry out the research secretly
D.raise money to build separate labs
74.We may infer from the passage that future therapeutic uses of stem cells will be unlikely unlessA.
A.human stem cells are used in the research
B.a lot more private donations can be secured
C.more federal money is used for the research
D.talented scientists are involved in the research
75.The reason why Bush placed limits on stem cell research was thatB.
A.his administration was financially limited
B.he did not want to offend its opponents
C.it might lead to a disrespect for human life
D.it did not promise any therapeutic value.

19.Welcome to the world of multitasking-a place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time.In fact,if experts are to be believed,multitasking is a disastrous idea.
One of the opponents of multitasking is Dr.Clifford Nass,a professor at Stanford University."People who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention; they're worse at managing their memory."he said.In his opinion,the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations,for example,part of doing business in the digital world:but you can't do serious work like writing,thinking or solving an important problem this way.You do worse even as you think you're doing better.All the time the research points to a simple fact:the brain cannot cope.When you stop midway through composing a report to check an email,you force your brain to stop and regroup.It is like pressing the pause button during a movie,meaning the film takes longer to watch.
And as for Dr.Nass,the problems extend beyond the brain.Young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who don't.They just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again.Todd Oppenheimer,a writer said"We've become a very short-term society and don't reward people for taking a lot of time on something."He fears we may end up losing the next generation of great thinkers."It's really unfortunate because the long-term challenges of our world-environmental issues,financial issues-require people to think wisely about the long-term consequences of what they do.And it's no coincidence that the kind of people who do think long-term don't multitask."

29.According to Dr.Nass,multitaskingD.
A.makes the performance emotionally affected only
B.contributes to memorizing various things
C.may result in losing the next generation of great thinkers
D.can be performed using digital tools
30.From the passage,we can tellB.
A.the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless
B.we mistakenly believe that we're doing better by switching between tasks
C.doing multitasking does harm to us in every area
D.for every task you add to your multitasking,you can finish your goal quicker
31.Which of the following is a multitasking addict?C
A.You turn your cellphone to silence when you're out to dine with friends.
B.You watch from start to finish without distraction when playing a DVD.
C.You have your office desk covered with paperwork from various unfinished projects.
D.You feel that when you try to do too much at once,the result always suffers.
32.The author mainly wants to tell usA.
A.the less you switch,the better you do
B.it is more efficient to do things all in a mixed way
C.it takes longer for us to become a great thinker
D.we shouldn't be lazy if we want to accomplish many tasks.

4.When you find conflicts or schedule problems,you can work towards solving them.This might mean rescheduling an appointment,or getting an assignment done a few days earlier so you'll have time to do the other one as well.

16.Have you ever wondered why our Easter celebrations include bunnies,brightly colored eggs,baskets filled with bite-size candy,and a banquet of ham or lamb?In fact,most of our Easter traditions are rooted in Christian faith and early religions.Here's a brief history lesson on customs.
Easter Bunny(复活节兔子)
The Easter Bunny-a.k.a Osterhase(German)or Oschter Haws(Dutch)-made its U.S.debut when German and Dutch settlers arrived in colonial Pennsylvania villages during the1700s.Pre-Christian Germans honored an Anglo-Saxon goddess,Eostre,who represented the rising of a new sun season.It's believed that she had a hare as a companion that represented fertility(生育力)and rebirth.
Easter Basket
Similar to the meaning of leaving cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve,children would leave homemade nests in which the Easter Bunny could lay its colored eggs.Over time,this tradition turned into decorated Easter baskets filled with fake grass,chocolate candy and jellybcans.
Easter Eggs
Christians(基督徒)don't eat meat and eggs for 40days in preparation for spiritual update.On Easter Sunday,red colored eggs decorated tables to promote the joy of a new season and represent Jesus'blood on the cross.The colored egg tradition may also have roots in spring festivals,in which eggs were decorated,colored and exchanged as celebrations of spring.
Ham
You know block-eyed peas bring luck on New Year's Day,but what if we told you a pig had much the same effect?The pig was considered a symbol of luck in pre-Christian Europe,and early Christians were said to have continued this tradition,making it the centre of meals on significant holidays like Christmas and Easter.
If we took a poll on eating ham or lamb on Easter,we'd likely be a country divided.

21.What does the passage mainly focus on?C
A.Easter presents.    
B.Easter beliefs.
C.Easter customs.
D.Easter food.
22.Why do people exchange colored eggs on Easter Festival?A
A.To welcome the coming of spring.
B.To attract visitors.
C,To decorate tables.
D.To invite Santa Claus.
23.What did"the pig"represent in pre-Christian Europe?B
A.Good effect.  
B.Luck.  
C.Old tradition.
D.Easter culture.
