填空题Reading Passage 1 has five sections, A-E. Choose the correct headings for sections A-E from the list of headings below. Write the correct number, i-ix, in boxes 1-5 on your answer sheet. List of Headings i. Mushrooms that glow in the dark ii. Bright creatures on land and in the sea iii. Evolution"s solution iv. Cave-dwelling organisms v. Future opportunities in biological engineering vi. Nature"s gift to medicine vii. Bioluminescence in humans viii. Purposes of bioluminescence in the wild ix. Luminescent pets Bioluminescence A. In the pitch-black waters of the ocean"s aphotic zone—depths from 1000m to the sea floor—good eye sight does not count for very much on its own. Caves, in addition, frequently present a similar problem: the complete absence of natural light at any time of the day. This has not stopped some organisms from turning these inhospitable environments into their homes, and in the process many have created their own forms of light by developing one of the stunning visual marvels of the biological universe—bioluminescence. B. Many people will encounter bioluminescence at some point in their life, typically in some form of glowworm, which is found on most continents. North and South America are home to the "firefly", a glowing beetle which is known as a glow-worm during its larvae stage. Flightless glowing beetles and worms are also found in Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Less common flies, centipedes, mollusks and snails have bioluminescent qualities as well, as do some mushrooms. The most dramatic examples of bioluminescence, however, are found deep below the ocean"s surface, where no sunlight can penetrate at all. Here, anglerfish, cookie-cutter sharks, flashlight fish, lantern fish, gulper eels, viper fish and many other species have developed bioluminescence in unique and creative ways to facilitate their lives. C. The natural uses of bioluminescence vary widely, and organisms have learnt to be very creative with its use. Fireflies employ bioluminescence primarily for reproductive means—their flashing patterns advertise a firefly"s readiness to breed. Some fish use it as a handy spotlight to help them locate prey. Others use it as a lure; the anglerfish, for example, dangles a luminescent flare that draws in gullible, smaller fishes which get snapped up by the anglerfish in an automated reflex. Sometimes bioluminescence is used to resist predators. Vampire squids eject a thick cloud of glowing liquid from the tip of its arms when threatened, which can be disorientating. Other species use a single, bright flash to temporarily blind their attacker, with an effect similar to that of an oncoming car which has not dipped its headlights. D. Humans have captured and utilised bioluminescence by developing, over the last decade, a technology known as Bioluminescence Imaging (BLI). BLI involves the extraction of a DNA protein from a bioluminescent organism, and then the integration of this protein into a laboratory animal through trans-geneticism. Researchers have been able to use luminised pathogens and cancer cell lines to track the respective spread of infections and cancers. Through BLI, cancers and infections can be observed without intervening in a way that affects their independent development. In other words, while an ultra-sensitive camera and bioluminescent proteins add a visual element, they do not disrupt or mutate the natural processes. As a result, when testing drugs and treatments, researchers are permitted a single perspective of a therapy"s progression. E. Once scientists learn how to engineer bioluminescence and keep it stable in large quantities, a number of other human uses for it will become available. Glowing trees have been proposed as replacements for electric lighting along busy roads, for example, which would reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources. The same technology used in Christmas trees for the family home would also eliminate the fire danger from electrical fairy lights. It may also be possible for crops and plants to luminesce when they require watering, and for meat and dairy products to "tell us" when they have become contaminated by bacteria. In a similar way, forensic investigators could detect bacterial species on corpses through bioluminescence. Finally, there is the element of pure novelty. Children"s toys and stickers are often made with glow-in-the-dark qualities, and a biological form would allow rabbits, mice, fish, and other pets to glow as well.

填空题Tackling Obesity in the Western World A Obesity is a huge problem in many Western countries and one which nowattracts considerable medical interest as researchers take up the challenge to find a "cure" for the common condition of being seriously overweight．However, rather than take responsibility for their weight， obese people have often sought solace in the excuse that they have a slow metabolism，a genetic hiccup which sentences more than half the Australian population(63% of men and 47% of women)to a life of battling with their weight．The argument goes like this: it doesn"t matter how little they eat，they gain weight because their bodies break down food and turn it into energy more slowly than those with a so-called normal metabolic rate B "This is nonsense," says Dr Susan Jebb from the Dunn Nutrition Unit at Cambridge in England．Despite the persistence of this metabolism myth, science has known for several years that the exact opposite is in fact true． Fat people have faster metabolisms than thin people. "What is very clear, "says Dr Jebb,"is that overweight people actually burn off more energy．They have more cells，bigger hearts，bigger lungs and they all need more energy just to keep going." C It took only one night，spent in a sealed room at the Dunn Unit to disabuse one of their patients of the beliefs of a lifetime: her metabolism was fast，not slow．By sealing the room and measuring the exact amount of oxygen she used, researchers were able to show her that her metabolism was not the culprit．It wasn"t the answer she expected and probably not the one she wanted but she took the news philosophically． D Although the metabolism myth has been completely disproved， science has far from discounted our genes as responsible for making us whatever weight we are, fat or thin. One of the world"s leadinq obesity researchers, geneticist Professor Stephen O"Rahilly, goes so far as to say we are on the threshold of a complete change in the way we view not only morbid obesity, but also everyday overweight. Prof. O"Rahilly" s groundbreaking work in Cambridge has proven that obesity can be caused by our genes. "These people are not weak willed, slothful or lazy, "says Prof. O "Rahilly, "They have a medical condition due to a genetic defect and that causes them to be obese." E In Australia，the University of Sydney"s Professor lan Caterson says while major genetic defects may be rare，many people probably have minor genetic variations that combine to dictate weight and are responsible for things such as how much we eat，the amount of exercise we do and the amount of energy we need．When you add up all these little variations．the result is that some people are genetically predisposed to putting on weight．He says while the fast/slow metabolism debate may have been settled．that doesn"t mean some other subtle change in the metabolism gene won"t be found in overweight people．He is confident that science will，eventually, be able to "cure" some forms of obesity but the only effective way for the vast majority of overweight and obese people to lose weight is a change of diet and an increase in exercise． F Despite the $500 million a year Australians spend trying to lose weight and the $830 million it costs the community in health care． obesity is at epidemic proportions here, as it is in all Western nations． Until recently, research and treatment for obesity had concentrated or behaviour modification，drugs to decrease appetite and surgery．How the drugs worked was often not understood and many caused severe side effects and even death in some patients．Surgery for obesity has also claimed many lives． G It has lonq been known that a part of the brain called the hypothalamus is responsible for regulating hunger, among other things．But it wasn"t until 1994 that Professor Jeffery Friedman from Rockerfeller University in the US sent science in a new direction by studying an obese mouse．Prof．Friedman found that unlike its thin brothers，the fat mouse did not produce a hitherto unknown hormone called leptin．Manufactured by the fat cells，leptin acts as a messenger, sending signals to the hypothalamus to turn off the appetite．Previously, the fat cells were thought to be responsible simply for storing fat．Prof．Friedman gave the fat mouse leptin and it lost 30% of its body weight in two weeks． H On the other side of the Atlantic．Prof．O"Rahilly read about this research with great excitement．For many months two blood samples had lain in the bottom of his freezer, taken from two extremely obese young cousins．He hired a doctor to develop a test for leptin in human blood，which eventually resulted in the discovery that neither of the children"s blood contained the hormone．When one cousin was given leptin．she lost a stone in weight and Prof．O"RahiIly made medical history．Here was the first proof that a genetic defect could cause obesity in humans．But leptin deficiency turned out to be an extremely rare condition and there is a lot more research to be done before the "magic" cu re for obesity is ever found． OBESITY They do this by seeking to blame their ...
