Genetic(基因）engineering is the change of the cells which makes up living things.In recent years，it has been successfully employed in the improvement of plants and animals.For ethical(道德上的）reasons，however，I would agree that genetic engineering should not be practised on human beings.
Changing the genetic make-up of humans raises the problem of authority(职权）.To whom should the right to change human genetic material belong—the government，scientists，the general public or the individual?The results of a survey(调查) conducted in Christchurch，New Ireland，show the lack of a satisfactory answer.People could not agree on who should be authorized to decide the permitting or regulation of human genetic engineering.The institution or individual given that rights might abuse(滥用） the power.
Some might argue that genetic engineering should be used on human beings as it would make them stronger or cleverer.They say that genetic engineering could do away with illnesses，prolong the human life.But the quality of life would not necessarily be improved.Terrible possibilities come from good intentions and genetic conditioning could result in the creation of a race that physically perfect but totally dehumanized(缺乏人性）.
We already know that cleverness does not lead to happiness directly.
Dr Patrick Dixon warns that there is need to consider the possible abuses of rapidly advancing science.I believe that human genetic engineering is an area of possible abuse;once put into practice，there could be no satisfactory way to ensure that it will do good to the future of mankind.
49.Which of the following is true?
A.The public don’t like to answer such questions as genetic engineering.
B.The majority of the people are not in favor of genetic engineering.
C.People are worried about the abuse of the power.
D.The public aren’t satisfied with the answers to the problem.
答案：B 由文章第二段第二、三句可知答案。
50.The use of genetic engineering techniques won’t surely make______.
A.human intelligence better
B.human health better

答案：D 由文章第一段中的“In recent years，it has been successfully employed in the improvement of plants and animals.For ethical（道德上的）reasons，however，I would agree that genetic engineering should not be practised on human beings.”可知答案D正确。
52.Which of the following is not discussed in the passage?
A.What is called genetic engineering.
B.The effects the genetic engineering may produce on human beings.
C.The possible authorities to control the use of genetic engineering.

Ⅴ.书面表达
用英语写一篇词数100左右，题为“Women Should Not Be Looked Down Upon”的短文。
要点如下：
1.在许多国家，女人受轻视，找工作比男人难得多。
2.为了找工作，有的女人只得撒谎，这很不公平。
3.事实上，女人干活不比男人差。实际上，没有女人不会做的事，她们同样可以成为优秀的教师、工程师、医生。
4.有时女人比男人做得更好。比如由于男人的手不易捡精细的零件，公司倒愿意雇用女人制造电话、电脑。
5.你坚信离男女真正平等的日子不远了。(equal right平等权利)
Women Should Not Be Looked Down Upon
In many countries in the world，women are looked down upon.It is more difficult for them to get some work than men.In order to get a job，they sometimes have to tell a lie.That’s unfair.In fact，women can work no worse than men.There’s nothing that women can’t do.
Perhaps，they are better at their work than men.For example，in making telephones and computers，many companies would rather employ women，for men can’t pick up the small pieces easily with their fingers.Like men，they can also become excellent teachers，engineers，doctors.So I am sure the day will come soon when women can really get equal rights.
