Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
The Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday that it is trying to track down as many as 386 piglets that may have been genetically engineered and wrongfully sold into the U.S. food supply.
The focus of the FDA investigation is on pigs raised by researchers at the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign. They engineered the animals with two genes: one is a cow gene that increases milk production in the sow; the other, a synthetic gene, makes the milk easier for piglets to digest. The goal was to raise bigger pigs faster.
There has been no evidence that either genetically altered plants or animals actually trigger human illness, but critics warn that potential side effects remain unknown. University officials say their tests showed the piglets were not born with the altered genes, but FDA rules require even the offspring of genetically engineered animals to be cet6w.com won’t get into the food supply.
The FDA, in a quickly arranged news conference on Wednesday prompted by inquiries by USA TODAY, said the University of Illinois would face possible sanctions and fines for selling the piglets to a livestock broker, who in turn sold them to processing plants.
Both the FDA and the university say the pigs that entered the market do not pose a risk to consumers. But the investigation follows action by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in December to fine a Texas company that contaminated 500,000 bushels of soybeans with corn that had been genetically altered to produce a vaccine for pigs.
Critics see such cases as evidence of the cet6w.com oversight of a burgeoning (新兴的) area of scientific research. “This is a small incident, but it’s incidents like this that could destroy consumer confidence and export confidence,” says Stephanie Childs of the Grocery Manufacturers of America. "We already have Europe shaky on biotech. The countries to which we export are going to look at this. "
The University of Illinois says it tested the DNA of every piglet eight times to make sure that the animal hadn’t inherited the genetic engineering of its mother. Those piglets that did were put back into the study. Those that didn’t were sold to the pig broker. "Any pig that was tested negative for the genes since 1999 has been sent off to market," says Charles Zukoski, vice chancellor for research.
But FDA deputy commissioner Lester Crawford says that under the terms of the university’s agreement with the FDA, the researchers were forbidden to remove the piglets without FDA approval. “The University of Illinois failed to check with FDA to see whether or not the animals could be sold on the open market. And they were not to be used under any circumstance for food. "
The FDA is responsible for regulating and overseeing transgenic animals because such genetic manipulation is considered an unapproved animal drug.
21. The 386 piglets wrongfully sold into food supply are from ______.
(A) Europe (B) an American research organization
? a meat processing plant (D) an animal farm
22. The purpose of the transgenic engineering research is to ______.

(A) was criticized by the FDA (B) is in great trouble
? is required by the FDA to call back the sold piglets (D) may have to pay the penalty
24. The FDA declares that the wrongfully sold piglets ______.
(A) may have side effects on consumers (B) may be harmful to consumers
? are safe to consumers (D) may cause human illness
25. It can be inferred from this passage that ______.
(A) all the offspring have their mothers’ genetic engineering
(B) part of the offspring have their mothers’ genetic engineering
? none of the offspring have their mothers’ genetic engineering
(D) half of the offspring have their mothers’ genetic engineering

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
There were two widely divergent influences on the early development of statistical methods. Statistics had a mother who was dedicated to keeping orderly records of governmental units (state and statistics come from the same Latin root status) and a gentlemanly gambling father who relied on mathematics to increase his skill at playing the odds in games of chance. The influence of the mother on the offspring, statistics, is represented by counting, measuring, describing, tabulating, ordering, and the taking of censuses-all of which led to modern descriptive statistics. From the influence of the father came modern inferential statistics, which is based squarely on theories of probability.
Descriptive statistics involve tabulating, depicting, and describing collections of data. These data may be either quantitative, such as measures of height, intelligence, or grade level-variables that are characterized by an underlying continuum-or the data which represent qualitative variables, such as sex, college major, or personality type. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process of summarization or reduction before they cet6w.com. Descriptive statistics is a tool for describing or summarizing or reducing to comprehensibly form the properties of an otherwise unwieldy mass of data.
Inferential statistics is a formalized body of methods for solving another class of problems that present great difficulties for the unaided human mind. This general class of problems characteristically involves attempts to make predictions using a sample of observations. For example, a school superintendent wishes to determine the proportion of children in a large school system who come to school without breakfast, have been vaccinated for flu, or whatever. Having a little knowledge of statistics, the superintendent would know that it is cet6w.com inefficient to question each child; the proportion for the entire district could be estimated fairly accurately from a sample of as few as 100 children. Thus, the purpose of inferential statistics is to predict or estimate characteristics of a population from a knowledge of the characteristics of only a sample of the population.
26. What is the passage mainly concerned with?
(A) Development and application of statistics. (B) Origin of descriptive statistics.
(C) Limitations of inferential statistics. (D) Importance of statistics.
27. Describing and tabulating are associated with ______.
(A) inferential statistics (B) descriptive statistics
(C) theories of probability (D) inefficiency of counting
28. Which of the following statements is TRUE about descriptive statistics?
(A) It combines quantitative variables and qualitative variables.
(B) It can be used to deal with only quantitative variables.
(C) It helps to summarize properties of a group of data.
(D) It helps to make predictions using a sample of observations.
29. The word “unwieldy” (Line 6, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______.
(A) difficult to collect (B) difficult to tackle
(C) incomprehensive (D) uncontrollable
30. A sample of a population is often examined for the following purposes EXCEPT ______.
(A) to make a more accurate prediction of trend
(B) to improve efficiency and avoid unnecessary work
(C) to save the trouble of approaching every member
(D) to predict characteristics of the entire population

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
A class action lawsuit has been filed against a prominent Toronto doctor by patients who allege he injected a banned substance into their faces for cosmetic purposes. The doctor had already been investigated for more than three years for using the liquid silicone, a product not authorized for use in Canada.
Some patients say they are now suffering health problems and think the liquid silicone may be to blame. One of those patients is Anna Barbiero. She says her Toronto dermatologist told her he was using liquid silicone to smooth out wrinkles. What she says he didn’t tell her is that it isn’t approved for use in Canada. “I didn’t know what liquid silicone was and he just called it‘liquid gold’.” Barbiero remembers. After her last treatment, Anna discovered Dr. Sheldon Pollack had been ordered to stop using the silicone two years earlier by Health Canada. Experts say silicone can migrate through the body, and cause inflammation and deformities.
“My upper lip is always numb and it burns,” Barbiero says. Barbiero is spearheading (带头) a lawsuit against the doctor, who her lawyer thinks might involve up to 100 patients injected with the same material. “The fact, a physician of his stature would use an unauthorized product on a patient because he thought it was okay, is really very disturbing," says lawyer Douglas Elliott.
Ontario’s College of Physicians and Surgeons is also investigating Dr. Pollack to see if, in fact, he continued to use the silicone after agreeing to stop and whether he wrote in patient records that he used another legal product when he used silicone. However, in a letter to the College, Dr. Pollack wrote that he had always told patients that the silicone was not approved cet6w.com, and had warned them of the risks. And in Barbiero’s case, “... at the time of her first visit, prior to her ever receiving IGLS treatment, I specifically informed her that the material was not approved cet6w.com by the Health Protection Branch and that I did receive the material from outside the country... I would like to emphasize that, as is evident on Ms. Barbiero’s chart, I drew a specific diagram on the chart which I carefully discussed with and explained to Ms. Barbiero as I did with every other patient to explain the nature and likelihood of complications and the reasons and consequences of those possible complications. "
Dr. Pollack declined to speak to CTV News, or to have his lawyer discuss the case. None of the allegations have been proven in court. But the case raises questions about the ability of governing bodies to monitor doctors. “There’s a larger message and that is: buyer beware,” says Nancy Neilsen of Cosmetic Surgery Canada, “It’s incumbent (负有义务的) on consumers to do their research. ”
31. Doctor Sheldon Pollack was charged that ______.
(A) he had prescribed wrong medicine for patients by mistake
(B) he had treated his patients with something illegal, causing bad result

改错部分答案：
内容概要：了解男性和女性在人际交往中与生俱来的性格和区别， 将有助于更好地理解合作伙伴。文章对男性和女性在人际交往中生而有之的差别进行了论述。
71. like → as
like和as都有“像…一样”的意思， 但like作此意解时为介词， 后面往往接名词， as为连词， 后面可接名词， 也可接分词短语和句子， 而且as多含比较之意。因为该句为强调句， not与so分开， 但仍是not so... as句型的变体， 所以此处应将like改为as。
72. blow → blowing
原句已有谓语动词feel， blow their own trumpets在句中只能作状语， 因此应将blow改为blowing。blow one’s trumpet意为“自吹自擂”。
73. 在boat前加the
rock the boat为固定搭配， 意为“破坏现状， 捣乱”。
74. intend → tend
intend to do sth. 意为“计划， 打算做…”， tend to意为“有…的习惯， 倾向于”。结合文章可知， 该处表示“倾向于”的意思， 所以应将intend改为tend。
* 考点
● intend意为“打算， 想要”， 强调主观的计划， 常见短语有： intend sth. for sb. 为某人准备某物， 如： The book is intended for beginners. 本书是为初学者编写的。intend sth. by sth. 意指， 意思是， 如： What do you intend by that remark?你说这话是什么意思?intend sth. as sth. 打算使某事物成为另一事物， 如： Was that remark intended as a joke?那句话是不是当作笑话说的?
● tend意为“照料， 照管”， 也可指“趋向， 趋势”， 侧重指自然倾向性。
75. 在seen前加are
后面的句子带有连词and， 由此可判定前后两句是由and连接的并列句， 所以应加系动词are使句子成为一个结构完整的被动句。
76. to → from
start to意为“开始”， 后接动词， 而different viewpoints为名词， 所以不能用to。再由句意可知， 此处表示“从…开始”， 应用介词from。
77. so → but(或while/whereas)
连词so表示因果关系， 分析其前后两个分句的意思可知， 句子间应是转折关系， 所以应将so改为表示转折或对比关系的连词but或while/whereas。
78. seem → seems
本句的主语是the approach， women adopted作the approach的定语， 所以根据主谓一致的原则， 应使用单数第三人称的谓语动词， 故应将seem改为seems。
79. necessarily → unnecessarily
根据上下文的意思和下文出现的表否定意义的unfeeling可以判断， 前一部分也应表否定， 所以应将necessarily改为unnecessarily。unnecessarily aggressive表示“没有必要地咄咄逼人”。
80. are → is本文导航第1页阅读部分第2页阅读部分第3页阅读部分第4页阅读部分第5页词汇选项第6页完形第7页写作Part V Writing (30 minutes)

While it is true that most net-bars are running legally, it is also true that cet6w.com unhealthy programs that involve violence and sex content. Since most middle school students are prone to be influenced and they can hardly tell which bar is doing well and which one is not, it is only advisable that they should stay away from all.
