考)The “Neighborhood Watch” scheme all started a few years a go in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries in the village and the surrounding area. The villagers came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their n eighbors' possessions while they were away on holiday. Since t hen, and with the support of the government and police, more t han 50,000 “Neighborhood Watch” schemes have been set up all over the country.
The object of each “Watch” group is to reduce the opportunities that criminals have in any particular street or area. Each villager who is a member of the scheme will call the police whenever th ey see something suspicious. It is the police who actually check out each report and look into what is happening. Villagers who are part of the “Watch” are not supposed to act as police or put themselves in danger.
When a new “Neighborhood Watch” scheme is set up in an are a, one benefit is that most burglars dare not take a chance on b reaking into someone's house because they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbors keeping a lookout. Burgl ars also know that people are more likely to have fitted good loc
ks to their doors and windows.
Another benefit is that, since the “Neighborhood Watch” schem es came into existence, there is growing evidence of a new co mmunity spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, an
d encouraging peopl
e to care for each other. New friendships ar
e being made, and contact is often established with old people l iving on their own, who are often the most frightened and the m ost at risk.

Genetics is not just a science, let alone a technology or a busin ess. Genetics is a profound idea. Genetics journals, for instanc e, fill their pages with discoveries of “disease genes” that lurk (潜
伏) silent, in the twists and bends of our DNA, ready to turn on us. The very idea of disease genes that have yet to actually cau se disease makes us feel “sick” even if we don’t have any symp tom. Cancer genetics has brought even deeper changes. The di sease used to be blamed on disguised external (外部
的) agents attacking the body. But now the disease is seen as “a natural born part of the self”. You get cancer not solely, or eve n largely, because of something you ate, or because of some pl ace you lived in, or because of some chemical you breathed. Y ou have cancer because of who you are. After all, not everyone who lived as you lived got cancer. Cancer_becomes_an_expre ssion_of_our_essential_nature.
Such a view affects how we act, as individuals and as a society. We get tested for cancer genes ( and don’t know what to make of the result: after all, about 25 to 50 percent of women who ca rry either of the two breast－
cancer genes discovered so far do not get breast cancer). We t hink individually rather than socially, with results that we may, o ne day, regret. Environmental pollutants get less attention now t hat we are told, again and again, that the cause of disease lies i n us. If we had focused on genes rather than viruses perhaps th ere would have been no social response to the epidemic (流行病). As a result of discoveries in genetics, says Rothman, “we a re looking to locate problems in the individual.” Thinking genetic ally makes us say that the problem is not ours as a society but yours as an individual.
5．What is the new discovery that often leads to disease in the genetic field?
A. Disease genes.
B. Disturbing ideas.
C. Twists and bends.
D. Pollutants.
6．By saying “Cancer becomes an expression of our essential nature”， the author means ______.
A. that cancer is a display of disease
B. that cancer is not caused by external agents
C. that everyone can get cancer
D. that not everyone can get cancer
7．When discussing about the tests we did in the past to find w ays of curing disease, the author implies that ______.
A. we didn’t do them scientifically
B. we can make use of some of those results
C. we are happy with those results
D. we will continue to do those tests this way
8．The new discovery shows that it is essential to examine dise ase ______.
A. genetically
B. socially
C. individually
D. generally
[答案]
文章讲述遗传学不仅是一门科学也是一门深奥的理念，以及疾病基因的发现对癌症的检验所起的作用。

5．A。

细节判断题。

由第一段第四句中
“The very idea of disease genes that have yet to actually cause disease makes us feel ‘sick’ even if we don’t have any symptom .”可以得出答案。

6．B。

句意理解题。

根据第一段第六句中
“The disease used to be blamed on disguised external(外部的) agents attacking the body. But now the disease is seen as ‘a natural born part of the self’．”可知答案。

7．A。

作者观点倾向题。

最后一段中的
“If we had focused on genes rather than viruses, perhaps there would have been no social response to the epidemic(流行病)．”这个句子采用了虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反，由此可知答案。
