Both of them had very bad memories. For example, Rosy would forget to cook dinner or take vegetables home after paying for them. David would show up for work on Sundays, thinking it was Monday. One winter they were to take a long plane trip. When they arrived at the airport, there were only ten minutes left. In that situation, anyone would get into the plane right away. But David and Rosy didn’t do so. They went to buy some flight insurance instead. Immediately after they put a two-pound note into a machine, their policy (保险单) came out.“Who would get the money if the plane crashed, I wonder?” asked Rosy. “My mother, of course,” her husband replied. “We should post the policy to her. Now, be quick! Give me a stamp, will you?” he said to Rosy. “The plane is going to take off in another minute.” David put the stamp on the envelope, dropped it into a postbox, and suddenly he let out a cry.What do you suppose happened to him?

Everything alive has genes. Plants have genes. Animals have genes. You have genes. Genes are the basic units of heredity. Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit(继承) from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father. Genes are a ki nd of code. A tree’s genes tell what shape its leaves will be. A cat’s genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes. Genes line up on strands called chromosomes in cells. Everything alive is made up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells.An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plants. He experimented with pea plants in the 1860s. One of the things, or traits, Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some short. He said that the traits (特征) must come from units of heredity passed from the parent plants. These units were called genes.In the mid-1900s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases—diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by altering genes through a process called gene therapy.68. If one's father has blue eyes, while his mother has grey ones, _________.A. their son will have blue eyes.B. Their son is sure to have grey eyes.C. their son's eyes will share both that of father's and mother's.D. It is probable that their son will have either blue eyes or grey ones.69. Which is the correct from large to small?A. genes---chromosomes---cellsB. cells---chromosomes---genesC. chromosomes---cells---genesD. cells---genes---chromosomes70. In the second paragraph, the author tells us ___________.A. Gregor Mendel discovered genesB. Gregor Mendel was an expert in plantsC. Gregor Mendel did a lot of experiments with pea plantsD. Something that happened to an Austrian monk71. In the last sentence, the word "altering" can best be replaced by __________.A. changingB. preventingC. movingD. demandingEA new period is coming. Call it what you will: the service industry, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a great change in the way we work. Already we’re partl y there, the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen sharply in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more are in many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breath of the great change can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held opinions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between workers and employers-all these are being doubted.We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have seen the ways in which a single invention, the chip(芯片), would change our world thanks to its uses in personal computers, and factory equipment. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of great changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more important, and the people who own it, whether they work in factories or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as a basic requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to deal with problems by making use of information instead of performing regular tasks will be valued above all else. If you look ahead 10 years, information service will be leading the way. It will be the way you do your job.72．Information age means _____________.A．the service industry is depending more and more on women workersB．heavy industries are rapidly increasingC．people find it harder and harder to earn a living by working in factoriesD．most of the job chances can now be found in the service industry.73．Knowledge society brings about a great change that __________.A．the difference between the workers and employers has become smallerB．people’s old ideas about work no longer existC．most people have to take part-time jobsD．people have to change their jobs from time to time74．What does the author mean by referring to computers and other inventions?A．People should be able to act quickly to the advancement of technology.B．Future achievements in technology will bring about big changes.C．The importance of high technology has been paid no attention to.D．Computer science will play a leading role in the future information services.75．The future will probably belong to those who _________.A．own and know how to make use of information B．can read and write wellC．devote themselves to service industries D．look ahead instead of looking back第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
