17、ered cells, could one day be implanted into the body to detect diseases and deliver treatments. In an early research in 2012, Martin Fussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered two kidney cells to become a biological circuit capable of simple mathematics. One of the cells
18、was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence of each of two chemicals would switch on a reaction inside the cell that would make it shine different colours. The other cell worked in the same way but could 4 / 12 subtract amounts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic ci
19、rcuit in a computer. In theory, it could be used to indicate the presence of an infectious substance while in fact it failed. Most biological reactions in the body aren t that simple, though. They rarely rely on “ one input and one output” instead, multiple inputs lead to different outputs. For inst
20、ance, a high level of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a high level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a completely different condition. To be more practical, biological computers need to be able to perform more complex mathemat
21、ics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this, Fussenegger and his team have engineered a multicellular system, in which different cells each perform a separate calculation and pass on the results to each other. The system has nine cells, each containi
22、ng a biochemical reaction that responds to three chemical inputs similar to an AND, NOT and OR system in a traditional electronic circuit. These cells coordinate their activities by releasing chemicals that pass from one cell to the other. Together, they form a fully biological circuit that can resp
23、ond to multiple inputs. “ Although it is not at a stage yet where we can test on animals, we believe it is the most complex biological computer ever assemb led, ” says Fussenegger. “ This work addresses one of the major limitations in synthetic biology ( 合成生物学 ) a lack of programmable devices,” says
24、 ngel Goni-Moreno, a synthetic biologist at Newcastle University, UK. He says that Fussenegger s multicellular approach enables you to programme the circuit and achieve different calculations just by connecting the nine cells in different configurations ( 设置 ). In the future, a biological computer l
25、ike this could be used to monitor more complex medical conditions. For example, it could respond to a rise in calcium, a drop in a hormone and an increase in a biomarker, which together would signal the presence of a specific type of cancer, help diagnose it and alert the user to seek appropriate tr
26、eatment. 28. The underlin ed word “ subtract” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _. A. add up B. take away C. split up D. give away 29. What was the progress made in Fussenegger s early research? A. A biological circuit was implanted in one of kidney cells. B. The indication of infectious subst
27、ances became a reality. C. Engineered kidney cells could switch on biological reactions. 5 / 12 D. Certain cells were made capable of performing mathematics. 30. What has made Fussenegger s current multicellular system so special? A. It has all the functions of a traditional electronic circuit. B. I
28、t is programmable and able to perform different mathematics. C. It has successfully packed multiple calculations into a single cell. D. It has been tested through a series of experiments on animals. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Smart cells indicating various cancers B. Electronic c
29、ircuit made from multi-cells C. Programmable cells implanted in human bodies D. Biological computer made from human cells D “ Two centurie s ago, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquired in the Louisiana Purchase,” George W. Bush said, announcing his desire for a program to s
30、end men and women to Mars. They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. America has ventured forth into space for the same reasons.” Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and Clark s expedition and a Mars mission. First, they were headed to a place where hundreds of thousands of people
31、 were already living. Second, they were certain to discover places and things of immediate value to the new nation. Third, their venture cost next to nothing by today s standards. A Mars mission may be the single most expensive non-wartime undertaking in U.S. history. Appealing as the thought of tra
32、vel to Mars is, it does not mean the journey makes sense, even considering the human calling to explore. And Mars as a destination for people makes absolutely no sense with current technology. Present systems for getting from Earth s surface to low-Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that mer
33、ely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft and equipment a Mars mission would require could be accomplished only by cutting health-care benefits, education spending, or other important programs or by raising taxes. Absent some remarkable discovery, astronauts, geologists, and biologists once o
34、n Mars could do little more than analyze rocks and feel awestruck(敬畏的 ) staring into the sky of another world. 6 / 12 Yet rocks can be analyzed by automated probes without risk to human life, and at a tiny fraction of the cost of sending people. It is interesting to note that when President Bush unv
35、eiled his proposal, he listed these recent major achievements of space exploration pictures of evidence of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system, and study of the soil of Mars. All these accomplishments came from automated probes or automated space telescopes. Bu
36、sh s proposal, which calls for reprogramming some of NASA s present budget into the Mars effort, might actually lead to a reduction in such unmanned science the one aspect of space exploration that s working really well. Rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars to hurl tons toward Mars usin
37、g current technology, why not take a decade or two or however much time is required researching new launch systems and advanced propulsion (推进力 )? lf new launch systems could put weight into orbit affordably, and advanced propulsion could speed up that long, slow transit to Mars, the dream of steppi
38、ng onto the red planet might become reality. Mars will still be there when the technology is ready. 32. What do Lewis and Clark s expedition and a Mars mission have in common? A. Instant value. B. Human inhabitance. C. Venture cost. D. Exploring spirit. 33. Bush s proposal is challenged for the foll
39、owing reasons except that. A. its expenditure is too huge for the government to afford. B. American people s well-being will suffer a lot if it is implemented C. great achievements have already been made in Mars exploration in America D. unmanned Mars exploration sounds more practical and economical
40、 for the moment 34. Which cannot be concluded from the passage? A. Going to Mars using current technology is quite unrealistic. B. A Mars mission will in turn promote the development of unmanned program. C. Bush s proposal is based on three recent great achievements of space exploration D. The achie
41、vements in space exploration show how well unmanned science has developed. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Risky as it is, a Mars mission helps to retain Americas position as a technological leader. B. A Mars mission is so costly that it may lead to an economic disaster in America. C. S
42、omeday people may go to Mars but not until it makes technological sense. 7 / 12 D. A Mars mission is unnecessary since the scientists once there won t make great discoveries. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Courage is a personality quality that everyone possesses
