29、ief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences,” or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants genes when they are born, Dr Flatly told The Times.This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such
30、as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively.A babys genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test. By examining a persons genome, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing diseases such as cancers. Those at high r
31、isk can then be screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill. Personal genomes could also be used to ensure that patients get the medicine that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have sideeffects.The development, however, will rais
32、e legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals genetic records.“Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone and you could possibly hand the information to their employer or their insurance company.” said Dr Flatley.“People have to recognize that this ho
33、rse is out of the barn, and that your genome probably cant be protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind. Complete genetic privacy, however, is unlikely to be possible”, he added.As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read

37、rmarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent. They will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.The touch-screen devices are on show at the Food Marketing Institutes exhibition here this week, “These devices are able to create va
38、lue and get you around the store quicker,” said Michael Alexander, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBMs “Shopping Buddy”, has recently been test-marketed at Stop & S
39、hop stores in Massachusetts.Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.“The whole model is dri
40、ven by advertisers need to get in front of shoppers,” said Alexander. “Theyre not watching 30-second TV ads anymore.”People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system（系统）that will organize the trip around the
41、 store. If youre looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.The device also keeps a record of what you buy. When youre finished, the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checke
42、r or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.The new computerized shopping assistants dont come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $ 160, 000, and the Concierge will cost stores about $ 500 for each device.60. The underlined word “they”（paragraph 1）refers to _.A. s
43、upermarkets B. shop assistantsC. shopping carts D. shop managers61.

Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyableCSince the Second World War，there has been an obvious trend，es
45、pecially among the growing group of college students，toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stage of adolescence, go steady through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying heads over the unaccep
46、table ways of youth. However, emotional maturity does not grow with age; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying
47、home life, but also from their own personal problems of loneliness. However, any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves one s problems; more often，it merely worsens them. What s more，it is doubtful whether the home is able to
48、carry all that the young are seeking; they might abandon one idol(幻像）only to have another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the most important in life，but they themselves are wrong in believing that they have found the true center of life s
49、meaning. Their expectations of marriage are basically unrealistic and therefore can not be met. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment(幻想破灭）is often likely to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of those against early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are bad and all l
50、ater ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by how old one is, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own benefits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few false expectations，and if it is e
51、conomically workable，why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.63. The underlined phrase ” shaking of graying heads refers to_. A. the anger of parents B. the disapproval of elderly people C. the improper behaviors of the young D. the emotional expectations of yo
52、ung lovers64. The author thinks the idea of marriage as an escape is_. A. acceptableB. controversial C. immatureD. unreasonable65. The author argues that_. A. young people can benefit little from early marriage marriages B. elderly people are wrong about early marriages C. early marriages are not al
53、ways unsuccessful D. early marriages should not be encouraged66. What s the main idea of the passage? A. Young peoples failure in marriage results from disillusionment. B. Young people shouldn t have many expectations for marriage. C. Successful marriages depend on emotional maturity. D. Home is the
