7、 technique called radiocarbon(放射性碳),or carbon-14,dating. One key to understanding how and by something happened is to discover when it happened.Radiocarbon dating was developed in the late 1940s by physicist Willard F. Libby at he University of Chicago. An atom of ordinary carbon,called carbon-12,ha
8、s six protons(中子)and six neutrons(质子)in its nucleus. Carbon-14,or C-14,is a radioactive,unstable form of carbon that has two extra neutrons(原子核)。 It returns to a more stable form of carbon through a process called decay(衰减)。 This process involves the loss of he extra neutrons and energy from the nuc
9、leus.In Libbys radiocarbon dating technique,the weak radioactive emissions(放射)from his decay process are counted by instruments such as a radiation detector and counter. he decay rate is used to determine the proportion of C-14 atoms in the sample being dated.Carbon-14 is produced in the Earths atmo
10、sphere when nitrogen(氮)-14,or N-14,interacts with cosmic rays(宇宙射线)。 Scientists believe since the Earth was formed,the mount of nitrogen in the atmosphere has remained constant. Consequently,C-14 formation is thought to occur at a constant rate. Now the ratio of C-14 to other carbon toms in the atmo
11、sphere is known. Most scientists agree that this ratio is useful for dating items back to at least 50,000 years.All life on Earth is made of organic molecules(分子)that contain carbon atoms coming from the atmosphere. So all living things have about the same ratio of C-14 atoms to other carbon atoms i
12、n their tissues(组织)。 Once an organism(有机体)dies it tops taking in carbon in any form,and the C-14 already present begins to decay. Over time the amount of C-14 in the material decreases,and the ratio of C-14 to other carbon toms goes down. In terms of radiocarbon dating,the fewer C-14 atoms in a samp

16、at(栖息地)destruction continues,then within 20 years,there will be no chimpanzees living in the wild. But this is more than an environmental or moral tragedy(悲剧)。 Chimpanzee extinction may also have profound implications(含意)for the survival of their distant relatives - human beings.2 In 1975 the biolog
17、ist Marie-Claire King and Allan Wilson discovered that the human and chimpanzee genomes(基因组)match by over 98%. Compare this to the mouse,used as model for human disease in lab tests,which shares only 60% of its DNA with us. In fact,chimpanzees are far more similar to humans than they are to any othe
18、r species of monkey. As well as resembling us genetically,chimps are highly intelligent and able to use tools. These facts alone should be enough to make protection of chimps an urgent priority(优先)。 But there is another,more selfish reason to preserve the chimp.3 The chimpanzees trump card(王牌)comes
19、in the field of medical research. Chimpanzees are so similar to humans that veterinarians(兽医)often refer to human medical textbooks when treating them. Yet chimpanzees do show differences in several key areas. In particular,chimps are much more resistant to a number of major diseases. It is this abi
20、lity that is so interesting.4 For example,chimps seem to show a much higher resistance than humans to HIV,the virus that causes AIDS. Indeed,their use as experimental animals in AIDS research has declined because they are so resistant.5 By sequencing the chimp genome and pinpointing(找到)the place whe
21、re the chimpanzee DNA sequence differs from that of humans,scientists hope to be able to discover which part of the genetic code gives chimps their increased resistance to some diseases. This,they hope,will allow them to develop new and more effective treatments for the human forms of these diseases
22、. Such treatments could include the production of new drugs or even the alteration(改变)of the human genetic sequence. The recently completed human genome sequencing project has shown that such an effort is now well within our reach.23 Paragraph 124 Paragraph 225 Paragraph 326 Paragraph 4A Reasons for

This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures,since water freezes at 0 and boils at 100。 Life as we know it would only be possible on the surface of a planet
26、which had temperatures somewhere within this narrow range.The earths supply of water probably remains fairly constant in quantity. The total quantity of water is not known very accurately,but it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe to a depth of about two and three-quarter kilometers. M
27、ost of it is in the form of the salt water of the oceans - about 97 per cent. The rest is fresh,but three-quarters of this is in the form of ice at the Poles and on mountains,and cannot be used by living systems until melted. Of the remaining fractional which is somewhat less than one per cent of th
28、e whole,there is 10-20 times as much stored underground water as there is actually on the surface. There is also a tiny,but extremely important fraction of the water supply which is present as water vapor in the atmosphere.Water vapor in the atmosphere is the channel through which the whole water ci
29、rculation(循环)of the biosphere has to pass. Water evaporated(蒸发)from the surface of the oceans,from lakes and rivers and from moist(潮湿的)earth is added to it. From it the water comes out again as rain or snow,falling on either the sea or the land. There is,as might be expected,a more intensive evapora

34、rains.When you look at something,your eyes send a signal about that object to your brain. Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons(神经元)are responsible for this processing.The fMRI(functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging)(功能性磁振造影)brain sc
35、ans could generally match electrical activity in the brain to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at.Like cells anywhere else in your body,active neurons use oxygen. Blood brings oxygen to the neurons,and the more active a neuron is,the more oxygen it will consume. The more active
36、a region of the brain,the more active its neurons,and in turn,the more blood will travel to that region. And by using fMRI,scientists can visualize(使显现)which parts of the brain receive more oxygen-rich blood - and therefore,which parts are working to process information.An fMRI machine is a device t
37、hat scans the brain and measures changes in blood flow to the brain. The technology shows researchers how brain activity changes when a person thinks,looks at something,or carries out an activity like speaking or reading. By highlighting the areas of the brain at work when a person looks at differen
38、t images,fMRI may help scientists determine specific patterns of brain activity associated with different kinds of images.The California researchers tested brain activity by having two volunteers view hundreds of pictures of everyday objects,like people,animals,and fruits. The scientists used an fMR
39、I machine to record the volunteers brain activity with each photograph they looked at. Different objects caused different regions of the volunteers brains to light up on the scan,indicating activity. The scientists used this information to build a model to predict how the brain might respond to any
40、image the eyes see.In a second test,the scientists asked the volunteers to look at 120 new pictures. Like before,their brains were scanned every time they looked at a new image. This time,the scientists used their model to match the fMRI scans to the image. For example,if a scan in the second test s

45、.D An Intelligent Robot.第三篇 Youth Emancipation in SpainThe Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest.Around 55 percent of people aged 18-34 in Spain still sleep in their parents homes,says the lat
46、est report from the countrys state-run Institute of Youth.To coax(劝诱)young people from their homes,the Institute started a “Youth Emancipation(解放)“ program this month. The program offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.Economists blame young peoples family dependence on the precarious(不稳定的)labor
47、market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since .Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem,say sociologists(社会学家)。 Family ties in south Europe - Italy,Portugal and Greece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe,said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report “The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Key for Understanding”。“In general,young people in Spain firmly believe in the
