　　Scientists have uncovered the exact difference between man and mouse.

　　Teams of scientists from around the world will publish today the draft (草圖) genome (基因組) of the mouse, which enables them for the first time to compare another mammal's entire DNA directly with that of humans.

　　The similarities are far greater than the differences. Man and mouse share a common ancestor that lived more than 70 million years ago, which has allowed scientists to find treatments for a good many human diseases.

　　British members of the project say the draft mouse genome, published in the journal Nature, has provided the “phrasebook for scientists to translate the language of the human genome.”

　　“The entire biomedical research community can for the first time fully use this resource to deal with human diseases. They will now have powerful tools that will serve them for many years to come,” said Dr. Jane Rogers, head of sequencing at the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which did 20 percent of the work.

　　Comparisons show almost every gene in the mouse has a corresponding (對(duì)應(yīng)的) gene in humans－a 99 percent similarity that should help to find how each human gene works. Already the work has been able to show that man and mouse each have about 30,000 genes yet only 300 or so are unique to either species, increasing the value of the lab mouse as a “model” for human genetics.

　　This is an extraordinary milestone. For the first time we have an opportunity to see ourselves in an evolutionary (進(jìn)化的) mirror. The mouse genome stands for a very important chapter in the lab notebook of evolution. By taking away genes to create sick mice, scientists have been able to reproduce a number of human disorders. Knowing the entire genomes of humans and mice will enable them to employ the technique more widely, leading to a rapid development in the understanding of illnesses.

1．Scientists have found that________.

[　　]

A．men and mice are actually the same kind of animal

B．mice are actually the ancestors of human beings

C．the genome of mice is the same as that of humans

D．humans and mice most probably have developed from the same ancestor

A．man has finally found his tree ancestor

B．it will be easier for people to find the causes of human diseases and cure them

C．it has enabled the scientists to compare human DNA with that of another mammal

科目：高中英語 來源：江蘇省蘇北四市(徐、淮、連、宿)2012屆高三第三次模擬考試英語試題 題型：050

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)A、B、C、D中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　During the outbreak of 2009-2010 H1N1 or "swine flu", the same virus that caused mild coughing and sneezing in some patients proved deadly for others．It highlighted a medical mystery：why are some people more fit to handle the flu than others?

　　British and American researchers think they have a clue．Reporting on Sunday in the journal Nature, researchers say they've found a gene that influences our ability to fight against flu illness．The gene, called IFITM3, is the "important first line of defense" against the flu, researcher Paul Kellam of Britain's Sanger Institute told Reuters．

　　The IFITM3 protein(蛋白)prevents flu viruses from reproducing in cells．So, if you have a high amount of IFITM3， you're in luck, since it weakens the spread of the virus; a low amount can lead to more rapid viral reproduction, causing severe flu symptoms, according to Kellam．

　　Scientists first found in gene studies that IFITM3 played a role in resistance to flu and other viruses．In experiments in mice, they showed that when mice were raised to lack the IFITM3 gene and then infected with influenza, the animals developed more severe lung infection from flu, compared with mice that had the gene．

　　To figure out the role of IFTTM3 in humans, researchers then studied the IFITM3 genes of 53 patients with the flu in 2009-2010．They found that these patients were more likely to have a variant of the IFITM3 gene-which makes people more vulnerable to flu-compared with the general population．According to evidence from large genetic databases, about 1 in 400 people carries this IFITM3 variant, the BBC reports．

　　"Our research is important for people who have this variant as we predict their immune defenses could be weakened to some virus infections, " said Kellam．

　　The Findings also suggest that a drug that functions as IFITM3 could help increase resistance to flu and other viruses, including deadly ones like H5N1 flu．

(1)

What does the underlined word 'vulnerable' mean in the fifth paragraph?

[　　]

A．

resistant

B．

accessible

C．

adjustable

D．

defenseless

(2)

You are less likely to get infected with H1N1 if ________

[　　]

A．

a variant of EFIM3 is produced

B．

the immune system is weakened

C．

protein doesn't function in your cells

D．

you have a high amounts of IFITM3

(3)

Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?

[　　]

A．

Why Flu Hits Some People Harder

B．

How We Protect Ourselves From Flu

C．

How We Get Infected With Flu

D．

Why Flu Breaks Out Among People

Two thieves came to a house to steal something. They dug a hole in the wall of the house.
There lived many mice in the house. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl into the house.“Look！In comes one，”she said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside，“She found me when I was just in.” But the thief outside didn’t believe him，so he said，“Let us two try to crawl into the house together.”At that time two mice happened to crawl into the house，too. The woman saw the mice and shouted，“In come two，catch them！” The two thieves were terribly frightened. The man in the house said，“You saw them come in but where are they？ I will catch them tonight.”The two thieves started running away at once.
The two thieves wanted to make it clear whether they had been found or not the night before. The next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came before the house. The man and the woman were ploughing in their fields. The rein（韁繩）broke and the woman came home for a rope. She saw two men selling sweet potatoes and wanted to buy some. She picked out two which looked like mice. At the time the man couldn’t wait for her any longer in the fields and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up. The woman showed the sweet potatoes to the man and said，“How they look like the two of last night.”The man said，“I asked you to fetch a rope，why don’t you hurry for it？”The two thieves ran away quickly without their sweet potatoes.

A．Two Clever ThievesB．Terrible Mice
C．Hit the Mark by a FlukeD．A Clever Couple
【小題4】Which of the following statements is FALSE？
A．The two thieves not only failed to steal things but also lost their sweet potatoes.
