28、he local library for a research term. But now a great number of websites are springing up(涌现) to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of. In one sense, these “how-to” sites represent a part of the growing world of online learning. These FAQs (Frequ
29、ent Answers and Questions), many of which still circulate (go round continuously), took a specific subject and explained it to complete “novices”. But, “how-to” sites take the FAQ idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that arent necessary associated with discussion forums(论坛、
30、讨论会). These sites take the style of a written tutorial（辅导课） and a tone of friendly advice. Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn2. com (www. Learn2. com). It offers nearly 1,000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview. At () you can learn how to train fo

34、 head were separated on Tuesday in a Singaporean hospital. But it cost them their lives.Itd been a lifetime of compromising (和解) on everything from when to wake up each day to what career to seek for Ladan and Laleh Bijani. And the Iranian sisters said they would rather face a possibly deadly operat
35、ion than continue living joined.“If God wants us to live the rest of our lives as two separate, independent individuals, we will.” Ladan Bijani said before the operation.News of Ladans death came less than an hour after the announcement that the twins had been separated. An hour later, Laleh also di
36、ed.Dr Keith Goh led an international team of 28 doctors and bout 100 medical assistants in the surgery (手术). The Iranian government said Monday it would pay the nearly US $300,000 cost of the operation and care for the twins.The Bijani sisters tried for years to persuade doctors to separate them, ev

43、us that causes AIDS.“The aim of the book is to teach children the science behind this virus because if they understand that, it will allow them to make good decisions about how they run their lives and reduce the risk of catching HIV/AIDS,” the British author and cancer (癌症) researcher said.With bri
44、ghtly-coloured illustrations (插图) and a simple narrative (叙事), the 32-page book hopes the children will give examples of its title; “Staying Alive, Fighting HIV/AIDS.”Despite the years of her audience (观众) , Balkwill is direct in explaining how the sexually (性别地) transmitted (传播) virus is spread and
45、 the ABCs of preventing it.It is a tough（严峻的）, adult subject to convey（传播）to children but Balkwill finds just the right balance and uses comic (喜剧的) picturessome from the children themselvesto explain germs and viruses and how they infect (传染) cells.Balkwill, who has written a dozen other science bo
46、oks for young children and runs a cancer research laboratory in London, explains where the virus came from and how it works and dispels (消除) myths (神秘) about being infected by contaminated (污染) water and food or touching or hugging (拥抱) infected people.64.

47、uce a book on HIV for childrenB. popularize the basic knowledge about HIVC. praise Balkwill for her efforts to prevent the spread of AIDSD. emphasize the importance for youngsters to own the book written by Balkwill65.

50、rldD. Balkwill is making efforts to make people live longDIn Windows XP. Microsoft is finally offering an operating system designed for consumer use that offers solid security（安全）. The entire computer can be offlimits (禁止入内) to anyone without a user name and a password, and all individual users name
51、 and a password, and all individual users control who has access（入口、通道） to their files. You can safely share some files on a network while keeping others private. There is even a simple firewall to deter intruders（入侵者）lurking (隐身) on the Internet.Theres only one problem. When you buy a new computer
52、with XP or upgrade an existing one from Window 98 or Me, most of the good security features are turned off. Unlike those versions, XP can be made secure. But Microsoft has left it up to you to make that happen.For example, Windows XP automatically comes with an account called “administrator”, which
53、has no password. If you dont do something about it, your computer will always have a huge security hole because anyone can gain access just by typing “administrator” and hitting return (确认) .During setup, you are asked for the names of the computer. Windows creates an account with each name, but aga
54、in, they start with no passwords. Every account should be protected by a password. Requiring a password to log on your own PC is a bit of a nuisance (讨厌之事) , but as we have learned in so many other areas, giving up a little convenience to gain security can be worth the trouble.68. Which is NOT true
55、according to the passage?A. If you have a computer with Win98, the computer can be upgraded (升级) to Windows XP.B. There is no need for you to set up security features when you buy a new computer with Windows XP.C. If you put in a user name and a password correctly, you can open any file you need.D.
56、It is impossible for any other user to open your private files without your permission.69. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “deter”?A. differ. B. kill. C. keep. D. discourage.70. Which is mentioned in the passage ?A. Whether you use the security features or not depends on you.B.
57、If you want to keep some of your files private, youd better not share any file with other users.C. You dont need to take trouble to set a password for your computer, because the security system is excellent.D. If you cant set a password, you have no choice but to ask for “administrator” for help.71.
58、 Which is the best choice for the security to your computer ?A. You must set an account by yourself.B. First you must get a password in order to protect your PC, and then you C. should apply an account and a user name.C. You need an account named “administrator” and a password provided by Microsoft.
59、D. First you should put in the user name; in this way you can get an account, and next you must set a password for your computer.EWith only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone（克隆）the animal and save the endangered species (物种) .Thats a move similar to what a Te
60、xas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”(诺亚方舟).“Noahs Ark” is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen (氮). If certain species should become extinct (灭绝) , Dr.
61、 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 (爬行动物) will become extinct in over 100 years. The
62、panda, native only to China , is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 year.Not long ago, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo 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 enti
63、re procedure could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and 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 (havi
64、ng a baby). It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live panda 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. “
65、They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in “Noahs Ark”. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much n
66、eeded.”72. The aim of “Noahs Ark” project is to _.A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandasB. save endangered animals from dying outC. collect CAN of endangered animals to studyD. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another73. Where do you think the passage is adopted from most probably?A. A
67、science novel. B. A times newspaper. C. A medicine magazine D. A text book74. The best title for the passage may be _.A. Chinas Success in Panda CloningB. The First Cloned Panda in the WorldC. Exploring the Possibility to Clone PandasD. Chinathe Native Place of Pandas Forever75. From the passage we
68、know that _.A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogB. Scientists are trying to implant a pandas egg into a rabbitC. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researchesD.
