　　Like distance runners on measured course, all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable pattern.

　　In the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality (energy).

　　After we grow up, however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out.

　　A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging.

　　Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. The lungs become less able to take in oxygen. Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood. Bones grow easier to break.

　　Finally, we meet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. Often, it is only a minor accident or chance infection (a disease caused by virus), but this time, it brings life to an end.

　　In 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the calories (unit for measuring the energy value of food)in their diet. The reason for the effect was then unknown.

　　Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr. Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats. The result was achieved through a special protein (蛋白質)limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain. Seagle showed that within the brain, specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset.

　　For the first time, the mystery (something that is difficult to understand or to explain)of why we age is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries.

　　An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at twenty, we would live for 800 years.

　　1. What does the underlined word “it”refer to?

　　A. Physical vitality.B. Stress.C. Aging.D. Physical resistance.

　　2. The author believes the following EXCEPT that ______.　

　　A. human’s life pattern is predictable

　　B. physical fitness can’t stop the force of aging

　　C. human’s lifetime will last longer than 75 years

　　D. all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body

　　3. How did Dr Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment?

　　A. By limiting the protein in their diet.

　　B. By cutting the calories in their diet.

　　C. By resetting their clock of aging.

　　D. By keeping their physical fitness.

　　4. What is probably the best title for the article?

　　A. Two Great Experiments.

　　B. The Mystery of Human Life.

　　C. Ways to Lengthen Human Life.

　　D. The Breakthrough in the Study of Aging.

　　With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save these in a dangerous situation. That's a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called "Noah's Ark".

　　Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of these animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M's College of Veterinary, Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

　　It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

　　This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

　　The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

　　"The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, but the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem," Kraemer believes. "They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort," adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

　　"They are trying to do something that's never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark. We're both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. The cooperation between us is very much needed."

　　1. The final aim of "Noah's Ark" project is to_______.?????? .

　　A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas?

　　B. save endangered animals from dying out

　　C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study?

　　D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

　　答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節題。由第二段內容可知，“諾亞方舟”項目的目的在于收集瀕臨滅絕的動物的卵子、胚胎、精子和DNA，并液體氮將它們儲存起來。某些物種滅絕了，將會有足夠的基礎建設材料再造這些物種。最后一段第二句We're both trying to save animals that face extinction.”又一次提到了這個項目的目的，即拯救瀕臨滅絕的物種。

　　2. According to Professor Kraemer, ________.

　　A. the long time lasting cloning research could be successful.

　　B. the eggs transfers immediately result in having a baby.

　　C. the lack of nuclear transfer could be a major problem to have new pandas.

　　D. if species should die out, basic building blocks would heal them.

　　答案解析：答案為A。本題為推理題。由倒數第二段第一句話 “…but the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem”可知，C選項錯誤。由該段第二句話 “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby).”可知，B選項錯誤。由該段第三句話 “It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works.”可知，這（細胞核移植需要很長時間，而且難度很大，但是一旦成功，便會成為開創性的科學。If certain species should become extinct, …there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.”，而 D選項 “如果物種滅絕，基礎建設材料基礎建設材料. The best title for the passage may be_________.

　　A. China's Success in Pandas Cloning

　　B. Helping Ways to Avoid Extinction

　　C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

　　D. The Practice in Noah's Ark

　　答案解析：答案為C。本文為資訊報導類文章瀕臨滅絕從第二段起具體介紹Duane Kraemer對中國科學家克隆大熊貓的做法的評價，并與美國科學家正在從事的諾亞方舟做了對比。文章最后一段表達了他們對中國同行所做的工作的高度評價探索克隆大熊貓的可能性. From the passage we know that_______.

　　A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a panda

　　B. scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbit

　　C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

　　D. about two thousand species are to die out in a century

　　答案解析：答案為D。本題為細節題。由第三段第一句話 “It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years.”可知，D選項正確。

　　A選項明顯錯誤；由第四段第一句話 “This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit.”可知，B選項錯誤。由最后一段最后一句話 “The cooperation between us is very much needed.” 可知，Professor Kraemer是說有必要合作，而不是將會與中國科學家一起致力于克隆研究， C選項與此表達不符，故不選。

　　Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses.It’s an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources wihtin the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds think link together into the same frequency. We call it telepathy.

　　We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending.

　　You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will them to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try "feeling" who's contacting you. Don't guess, try to feel the vibrations. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn't mean that you are not capable of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.

　　Telepathic Dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other, and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s uncounscious mind.

　　Telepathy&Relationships The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated.There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the others, mind through time spent together；the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child desperately wanting his/her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mothers deep desire to protect her child from harm.
