1、A New Doctors\' DilemmaWhen Christian Barnard, a South African doctor, performed the first human heart transplant in1967, the result was a worldwide moral debate on the ethics of transplanting organs. Hearts were not the first human organs to be transplanted but, in this case, if a donｏｒgave his ｏｒher heart, he ｏｒshe would obviously ａｎｄ　necessarily die (ｏｒbe dead). Kidney transplants, which were already quite common in 1967, often involved the transfer of a single kidney from a close living relative. The chances of survival of the donｏｒwere somewhat diminished because he now had only one kidney ａｎｄ　if that kidney were affected by disease, he would not have a healthy kidney in reserve. Nevertheless, the donｏｒwould certainly not necessarily die.Undoubtedly, another reason why the first heart transplant was so controversial was the fact that we associate so many personality traits with the heart. Questions were asked of the type: "If a person had a different heart, would he still be the same person?", ｏｒ"If doctors needed a dying person\'s heart, would they tend to declare him dead prematurely?", ａｎｄ　so on.Today, not only hearts ａｎｄ　kidneys, but also such extremely delicate organs as lungs ａｎｄ　livers, are transplanted. These developments have led to a far higher ｏｒproportion of successful operations ａｎｄ　this, in turn, has led to greater demａｎｄ　fｏｒtransplants. At the same time, many of the original moral questions surrounding heart transplants have been almost forgotten.However, as a result of the heavy demａｎｄ　fｏｒorgans, a new moral dilemma has emerged. Fｏｒexample, in the United States there are many people who would survive iflungs were available fｏｒtransplanting. In fact, about 80% of them die before a suitable donｏｒis found. In these circumstances who would decide if a donｏｒwere found whose lungs were equally suitable fｏｒtwo potential recipients?This problem is made worse by the fact that many patients, ｏｒtheir families, become desperate to find a donor. Some succeed in publicizing their situation in newspapers, to politicians ｏｒon television. Sometimes, as a result, suitable donors are found. But what would happen if another patient needed the organ more than the one who got the publicity? Who would decide if the other patient should get the organ? Would it be the doctors? ｏｒthe donor? ｏｒthe family who got the publicity? If such a dilemma developed it would be very difficult to resolve ａｎｄ　it would be a matter of life ｏｒdeath to the patients involved.How do you think the dilemma will develop?【单选题】

A.The dilemma will remain unresolved.

B.The public will demａｎｄ　a fair resolution.

C.Those who are more desperate to find a donｏｒwill always be successful.

D.The doctors will have the final say.

正确答案:A

4、Britain\'s Solo SailorEllen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight, going out on sailing trips with her aunt.

Despite of many problems, she came the second in the race out of 24 competitors ａｎｄ　she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.Ambition ａｎｄ　determination have always been a big part of Ellen\'s personality.

5、Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president ａｎｄ　the state governer both hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country here gun violence has destroyed lives, families ａｎｄ　communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling ａｎｄ　politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.In countries like Britain ａｎｄ　Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held hostage by the gun lobby (院外活动集团) ａｎｄ　the electoral (选举) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the majｏｒsupporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong fｏｒany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not both, they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted ____ nine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don\'t want to give up their arms they keep to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professｏｒin the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠杀) is an argument fｏｒmore people to carry weapons, not fewer.Americans\' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK\'s Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隐藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American\'s responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government fｏｒprotection."【单选题】

6、The Race into SpaceAmerican millionaire Dennis Tito will always be famous. He was the first tourist in space.

"Being in space ａｎｄ　looking back at earth is one of the most rewarding experiences a human being can have."This kind of experience isn\'t cheap. It cost $ 20 million. However, Tito achieved his dream, so he was happy. "Fｏｒme it was a life dream.

The company has around 100 people already on their waiting list fｏｒflights into space. The spaceship to take them doesn\'t exist yet.Many of the customers are people who like adventure. They are the kind of people who also want to climb Mount Qomolangma. Other customers are people who love space. However, these people are worried. Because it’s so expensive, only very rich people can go into space. They want space travel to be available to more people.That day may soon be here. Inter Orbital Systems (IOS) plans to send up to four tourists a week into space. The tours will depart from an islａｎｄ　in Tonga. The company promises a package that includes forty-five days of astronaut training in Russia ａｎｄ　California, seven days in space, ａｎｄ　a vacation in Tonga, fｏｒ$2 million.However, space flight is still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NASA\'s deputy assistant administratｏｒfｏｒspace flight. He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500. Because of this, it may take time before space tourism really takes off.

9、Electric BackpackBackpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, ａｎｄ　a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don\'t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, ａｎｄ　maybe even light your way home.Lawrence C. Rome ａｎｄ　his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia ａｎｄ　the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass, have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions, search-and-rescue operations, ａｎｄ　scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system (GPS) receivers, night-vision goggles, ａｎｄ　other battery-powered devices to get around ａｎｄ　do their work. The backpack\'s electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer\'s load now devoted to spare batteries, report Rome ａｎｄ　his colleagues in the Sept. 9, Science.The backpack\'s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer\'s back, ａｎｄ　the whole pack moves up ａｎｄ　down as the person walks. A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7. 4 watts.Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearers of the new backpack ａｌｔｅｒtheir gaits in response to the pack\'s oscillations, so that they carry loads more comfortably ａｎｄ　with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric ａｎｄ　non-electric versions of the backpack.The backpack could be especially useful fｏｒsoldiers, scientists, mountaineers, ａｎｄ　emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. Fｏｒthe rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, ａｎｄ　listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren\'t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!Backpacks are convenient because .【单选题】
