Clarity:It's essential that you communicate efficiently and effectively.No static(¾²µç),echo,or

crackling will ever interfere(¸ÉÈÅ) with your conversations on a Techtalkphone.

Range:Techtalk provides up to four times the range of an ordinary cordless phone.It will go

anywhere you need it throughout your home,in your yard,even around the block.

Security:Some cordless phones allow other cordless phone users to overhear(͵Ìý) your

conversations.Not Techtalk.We guarantee(±£Ö¤)complete privacy whenever you talk to your friends,family,or business associates.

You decide an ordinary cordless phone or Techtalk?

Scientists Identify SARS Virus

Scientists say they have identified the virus that causes the mysterious,flulike illness Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.

Scientists say the corona virus(¹Ú×´²¡¶¾),now identified as the cause of SARS,ispart of the same family of viruses that causes the common cold.However they say it is part of a distinct subgroup of corona viruses that do not have the same properties as the ordinary cold. World Health Organiation virologist Klaus Stohr said that with the identificaton of this

corona virus,it could now be possible to develop more specific diagnostic tests for the disease. ¡°Now the research can be focused on this virus.The research will hlep us to develop new drugs£¬¡±he said.¡°Now we can focus on one pathogen which has been sequenced,which provides additional information for the development of tests.Now,one can perhaps think about a vaccine(ÒßÃç) if need be.We are still,I think,optimistic that we can control the disease with the measures which have been carried out.¡±ª¤

SARS is spread by droplets through close personal contact.Symptoms include high fever,a dry cough and shortness of breath.About four percent of its victims die.The scientists say this virus has long existed in nature,but it has never been seen in humans before.

They say a new genetic sequencing of the SARS virus proves conclusively that it came from animals.A scientist at the U.S.Center for Disease Control,James Le Duc,says this is the first experience scientists have with this virus.Therefore,he says,a lot remains unknown. ¡°As you know,it is what we call a virgin soil outbreak,¡±Mr Le Duc said.¡°It has never occurred in humans before.How it will progress,nobody really knows.But,it is most difficult to control diseases that are spread by droplets in this pers ontoperson spread.So,I think it would be premature(Ì«ÔçµÄ) to suggest we arenear the end of this outbreak.¡± (Adapted from http://www English ABC.com) 1.The passage mainly tells us¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª . A.people have controlled the virus B.SARS virus has been identified

C.SARS virus is too difficult for man to control D.everything about SARS

2.Which of the following statements about the corona virus is NOT true? A.It has been identified as the cause of SARS and the common cold. B.It and the virus causing the ordinary cold belong to the same family. C.It is part of a distinct subª¤group of corona viruses.

D.it is possible to develop more specific diagnostic tests for the diseas E because of the identification of the corona virus 4.How can a person get SARS? A.By giving a SARS patient a call.

ZHUHAI¡ªChina will soon put a person into space and become the third nationin the world to have manned spaceflight,a top Chinese aerospace(º½¿Õº½Ìì)official said on November 5. A manned launch(·¢Éä)was not far off,Vice President Hu Hongfu of China AerospaceScience Technology Corp(CASTC)told a news conference at the third huhai Air Show.¡°It will not be long before Chinese astronauts can ride locally¡ªmade spaceships into space,\timetable but said it would happen¡°at beginning of the 21st century\

The former Soviet Union and the United States have been putting people into orbit since the early 1960s,but other nations have not considered the challenge worth following. China has already built and sent up its own satellites for communications and weather forecasting.The new communication satellites would help to encourage the country's broadcasting industry,Hu said.ª¤

But the company,which includes over 130 aerospace agencies,said the lifting ability and success rate of China's space¡ªlaunches were almost equal in quality tothose of other countries. China would gradually close the distance between its country's space industry and that of other nations.He added that they were willing to send up commercial satellites for Taiwan. On China's plan to send up manned spaceflights,Hu said China had made important development after thesuccessful launch in November last year of the country's first experimental spaceship,Shenhou.¡°The whole project is in the research stage and a lot of work needs to be done,\said.¡°We need to have more tests ofthe unmanned spaceship.\

China last year announced a four_step manned spaceflight plan with the aim of setting up a spacestation served by a spaceship travelling between two places.ª¤ 1ª¤The underlined word¡°they\here probably refers to ¡ª¡ª.ª¤

June 26,2000¡ªthe Human Genome Project,a great ª¤ 3 billion,15ª¤year task aimed at

drawing the genetic map of ª¤humans,ª¤is now more than 90 percent completedThe scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances geneticresearch provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life.But those communities and policy makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life. For the last few years,the genetic advances in fast developing field of biotechnology(ÉúÎïѧ)

have provided material for all kinds of work,but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health,as well as for the popular imagination¡£

Once these genes are found and studied,researchers can develop new ways to attac k infections,and genetic diseases.Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome,as they expect to develop lots of new drugs for these diseases. 1.Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the Human Genome? A.Because it can destroy many illnesses.

B.Because its completion can help them get rid of many diseases. C.Because it can provide a lot of chances of work. D.Because they wanted to be better known than others.ª¤
