第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up genes which have been linked to hereditary (遗传的) sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mice’s genes are so similar to humans’, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.
Scientists at the University of California, Davis studied information from a data bank of mice’s genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.
Only around 50 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in human can be explained with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent.
“This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease,” said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. “All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didn’t know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable.” Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby’s parents!
Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7,000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mice’s genes to those of patients.
1、How many hereditary-sight-loss-related genes were newly found?
A．86. B．261.
C．300. D．347.
2、Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems mentioned in paragraph 3?
A．To show the significance of studying mice’s genes.
B．To prove mice’s genes are similar to humans’.
C．To warn the high risk level of suffering them.
D．To explain how common they are among people.
3、What should scientists do first to unlock secrets of genetic blindness?
A．Compare humans’ genes with mice’s.
B．Recognize each gene’s role of humans.
C．Set apart a gene of a mouse each time.
D．Figure out each gene’s function of a mouse.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．New Ways to Cure Sight Loss
B．Genes Found Behind Eye Problems
C．Genetic Diseases Discovered in Mice
D．Humans Genes Causing Eye Diseases

B
Airbags, now found in almost every vehicle, have saved countless lives and largely reduced the severity of injuries in crashes. Similar technology could greatly reduce broken hips (髋部) resulting from a fall, something most seniors fear.
Dr. Robert Buckman and his start-up company, Active Protective in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has developed a promising solution, a wearable airbag that can protect hip bones in the event of a fall. The idea was the result of Dr. Buckman’s years as a doctor at Temple University. He noticed how many elderly people were being brought into hospitals with broken hip due to falls, and how they often never completely recovered from the injuries. He started to ask what he could do for these people, and that was when he started trying to figure out whether there was a way of helping people who were at the highest risk of falling and suffering these kinds of injuries.
The device is worn much like a regular belt, but on the outside of the clothing, and it includes sensors that monitor the movement of hips. If the device detects that the person, is falling, an airbag opens before the person hits the ground, cushioning the fall. When the wearer hits the ground, the bag reduces the force to the hip bones by 90 percent, enough to avoid the majority of hip injuries.
With one out of every three people aged 65 and older suffering serious falls each year, Active Protective has a big market for its wearable device. It also has the potential to sizably reduce hip - related health care expenses: Hip injuries among the elderly cost the US health care system in 2012 $30 billion, which doesn’t include the long-term care expenses associated with the high percentage of patients that can no longer live independently.
1、What is the purpose of the Active Protective’s airbag?
A．To avoid hip injuries among seniors.
B．To protect seniors from car accidents.
C．To help seniors with their daily nursing.
D．To help doctors deal with serious injuries.
2、What inspired Dr. Robert Buckman to make the device?
A．A report on seniors’ health.
B．A serious fall he experienced.
C．His work experiences as a doctor.
D．Suggestions of seniors at Temple University.
3、How does the device mainly work?
A．By predicting road conditions. B．By speeding up bone recovery.
C．By reducing the effects of falling. D．By preventing people from failing.
4、What does the author think of the Active Protective’s airbag?
A．It still needs improving.
B．It has a promising future.
C．It may encourage seniors to do exercise.
D．It may increase America’s spend on seniors.
