39、rl experienced firsthand the horrors of war. Filipovic turned 11 in December of 1991. Five months later Serbian soldiers attacked Filipovics hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia. While many people fled the city, Filipovics family stayed. Some of the worst moments of the Bosnian conflict would take place rig

40、ht under her nose. How did Filipovic deal with his harrowing experience? By writing a diary.Zlatas Diary was first published in the summer of 1993 by UNICEF(United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund). It attracted enormous interest. Her writings on the Bosnian conflict were not as sophis

41、ticated（老练的） as the daily news reports. Filipovics observations were however, more moving and intimate（私人的）. Zlatas Diary gave readers a sense of sympathy for the ordinary people stuck in the Balkan region. Filipovics writings raised world awareness of the senseless conflict in Sarajevo. “I see that

42、 things arent good here,” Filipovic writes. “An ugly war is taking away my childhood.”After two years of enduring the war in Sarajevo, Filipovics family escaped to Paris in December of 1993. Zlatas Diary was then printed by an international publisher. It became an instant bestseller. It has since be

43、en translated into 35 languages.Outside Bosnian, Filipovic continued to show deep concern for her torn homeland. In the following years, she gave many talks on the impact of war on children. She spoke often about the need for a stable, lasting peace in the Balkan region.Filipovic eventually attended

44、 a British University and received a degree in human sciences. Today, the well-being of the Balkan region remains on her mind. Now Filipovic wants to use her experience to promote peace in a rapidly changing Europe. She hopes that her stories of war will make people listen to her message of peace. 6

48、e fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present

49、can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happ

50、iness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span（寿命） can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to health and clever children.

51、 Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary（遗传的） diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can

52、 solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sh

53、eep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the government must take car to control gene technology. 69. What does “ these t

57、y. 72. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A. Expressing the writers idea that gene technology will benefit people. B. Telling people the disadvantages of gene technology.C. Telling her readers that gene technology will not benefit people .D. Explaining that gene technology will also do

58、 harm to the humanity. ( C ) As the new semester begins, millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or , more likely, how best to delay that paper.Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer form it. They can spend whol

59、e days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who , most likely are doing nothing either.Paralyzed（使失去活力） by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, a

60、sking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. But this does nothing to break the spell.（魔咒）According to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the worlds population are always procrastinating. The figures are disappointing. Procrastinators

61、 are less wealthy, less healthy and less happy than those who dont delay. Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior, but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure. Pelling says th

62、is is non sense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones. Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent（过失的） in a so

63、ciety that thinks of speedy action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral good. Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastin

64、ation Equation, believes human is “designed” to procrastinate. Nevertheless, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand. 73.

The library is one of the most popular places at a western university. Students turn to it for research, conversations about cl

69、ass, and many other services.Compared with Chinese libraries, college libraries in the US and UK tend to offer more resources. A postgraduate at Yale University can borrow as many as 225 books at a time.In addition to borrowing books, there are online and electronic resources. These include a databa

70、se search of popular and academic material, such as Lexis Nexis Academic, which offer items from newspapers and magazines.Although books and articles are the items that students ask for most frequently, some libraries provide audio and video recordings, maps and sheet music （数据库）. At some schools, t

71、eachers and tutors put electronic copies of their teaching PPTs on the library Web to give easier access for students. Another useful service in Western college libraries is the Interlibrary Loan.

Requests made through the system are handled by library staff. The student receives and sends e-mails with an Internet link

74、 to the scanned pages. The service is free and all material comes within four days.It used to be that libraries didnt allow food or drinks. But that rule is changing and many of them now contain a caf so students can spend as much time as they want in the library.Actually, some US university librari
