24、window. I turned the pillow over, hunting for the cooler side. Grandma saw me struggling, If you just watch for the breeze (light wind), she said, youll cool off and fall asleep.

30、 are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy. What kind of invader gives rise to such high-level monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫). In recent months, billions of the 3-inch-long winged warriors have descende

31、d on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation. The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe. The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea. Unusually

32、 rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth. The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine. Each locust can eat its weight (not quite a tenth of an ounce) in vegetation every 24 hours. A good-size s

33、warm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night. All 150 million may be needed this year. The U.S. has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal. of pesticide. The European Community has donated 3.8 million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japa

34、n and China have provided chemical-spraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests. But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadly punch and require frequent replications. The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to canc

35、er and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations. More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locust-killing chemicals; another 5 million will be treated by the end of June. On May 30, representatives of Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Mauritania will meet

36、 in Algiers to discuss tactics to wipe out the ravenous swarms. The move is an important step, but whatever plan is devised, the locust plague promised to get worse before the insects can be brought under control.36.

41、control before the plague gets worse. D When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you ever wonder why you look the way you do? No two faces look exactly alike, making a human face as unique as a fingerprint. Genetics obviously play a major role-no two faces share the same DNA. But even in identica

42、l twins, who have the same DNA, there are still small differences in their appearances. So what is it that makes each face different? The answer lies in a small piece of you NDA called a gene enhancer, according to a study published in the journal Science. There are thousands of enhancers in the hum

43、an genome (基因组), study leader Axel Visel, a research with Berkeley Lab, US, told Discovery. According to Visel, these DNA pieces act like switches, turning genes on and off and therefore determining whether a certain facial feature develops in a fetus (胎儿) while it is still in the womb (子宫). Whats i

44、nteresting about gene enhancers is that they dont have to be found anywhere close to the genes they affect. They are able to control their targets from far away, which makes them even more influential. To test how powerful these special DNA pieces are in shaping the face, researchers deleted three o

45、f the gene enhancers in mice and compared them with normal mice at 8 weeks of age. The results showed that each enhancer deletion caused a distinct set of differences in the shape of the face-for example, causing an increase or decrease in facial length or width. In fact, scientists first noticed th

46、e existence of gene enhancer long ago, but they called them junk DNA back then because they didnt produce proteins and were thought to have no biological function. But now its increasingly clear that importantfunctions are deeply and firmly fixed in this junk, Visel told New Scientist. Understanding

47、 this may help scientists learn why and how things go wrong as a fetus develops, leading to facial defects (变异) such as cleft lips (唇腭裂). While some of these defects are caused by genetic mutations (变异), researchers want to study whether gene enhancers also play a role.41. The main purpose of the fi

Which of the following, statement is True according to the pa

49、ssage?A. People with the same DNA have the same faces.B. A humans face is determined by his fingerprints.C. No identical twins have exactly the same appearance.D. Its unknown what makes each face different.43. According to the passage, gene enhancers_.A. are not found by scientist until recentlyB. p

50、lay an important role in shaping ones faceC. can only affect the genes they are close toD. are not so powerful as the scientists expected44. Why are gene enhancer called as junk DNA ?A. Because they didnt produce proteins.B. Because they had no biological function.C. Because they looked like the jun

51、ks.D. Because they only affected the facial characteristics.45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How facial feature develops in a fetus in the womb.B. Development of solving problems of facial birth defects.C. A new discovery of genetics is found by the journal Science.D. Gene enhancers deter
