But it is still widely practiced, with the groom’s family demanding even more mo ney after marriage, leading to mental and physical annoyance that can drive the woman to suicide.“The Angry Brides game is our way of throwing a spotlight on the nuisance(陋习)of dowry. ”said Ram Bhamidi, senior vice president and head of online marketing for Shaadi. com, a matrimonial(婚姻的)website with two million members.“According to a 2007 study, there is a dowry-related death every four hours in India, we condemn this and have consistently run campaigns on social media to help create awareness of the issue”.The name of the app, available on the group’s home page, is a spinoff from the globallypopular“Angry Birds”game. Its home page shows a red-clad, eight-armed woman resembling a powerful female Hindu goddess. Underneath, there is a caption: “A woma n will give you strength, care and all the love you need. . . NOT dowry! ”To play the game, users have to try and hit three dodging grooms—a pilot, a builder and a doctor. There are a variety of weapons to choose from, including a frying pan, broomstick, tomato and loafer.Each groom has a price tag, starting at 1. 5 million rupees($29, 165). Every time the player hits a groom, his value decreases and money is added to the player’s Anti-Dowry Fund, which is saved posted on their Facebook page.“Since we launched the game last week, more than 270, 000 people have liked the app. Both men and women seem to be playing it”, said Bhamidi.61.

Louis have identified a gene that is required for proper development of the mouse ear, providing clues to deafness.In humans, this gene is k nown as FGF20. “When we inactivated(阻止活动)FGF20, we saw they were alive and healthy, ”says senior author David M. Ornitz, Professor of Developmental Biology. “But then we figured out that they had absolutely no ability to hear. ”The results show that disabling the gene causes a loss of outer hair cell, a special type of sensory cell in the ear responsible for amplifying(扩大)sound. While about two-thirds of the outer hair cells were missing in mice without FGF20, the number of inner hair cells, the cells responsible for transmitting the amplified signals to the brain, appeared normal.“This is the first evidence that inner and outer hair cells develop independently of one another, ”says first author Sung-Ho, PhD, research associate. “This is important because most age-related deafness and hearing loss caused by noise are due to the loss of outer hair cells. ”As such, Ornitz and Huh believe that FGF20 signaling will be a required step toward the goal of regenerating outer hair cells in mammals, incapable of hearing restoration.The FGF20 gene stands for one member of a family of proteins known as fibroblast(纤维组织母细胞)growth factors. In general, members of this family are known to play important and broad roles in embryonic(胚胎的)development, tissue maintenance and wound healing.Ornitz and his colleagues found that FGF20 signaling must occur on or before the 14th day of the embryo’s development to produce a normal inner ear. Even if FGF20 signaling occurred on the 15th day or later, the inner ear still did not dev elop properly. “In mice, the cells that can become outer hair cells must be exposed to the FGF20 protein at an early stage, ”Ornitz says. “After embryonic day 14, it doesn’t matter if they see the protein. It’s too late for them to become outer hair cells. ”66. After FGF20 was inactivated in mice, they.A. were not able to walk any moreB. didn’t appear abnormal immediatelyC. died without any symptoms soonD. saw an increase of outer hair cells67. According to the study, inner hair cells.A. are not affected by the absence of FGF20B. are responsible for regenerating soundC. will be missing if there isn’t FGF20D. have only been found in mice so far68. The underlined word“regenerating”in Para. 5 can be replaced by“”.A. reducingB. fightingC. preventingD. reproducing69. What can we learn from the passage?A. Mammals are capable of restoring hearing themselves.B. Age-related deafness may be cured with FGF20 signaling.C. Most deafness among people is caused by the loss of inner hair cells.D. To generate outer hair cells, cells must meet the FGF20 protein on day 14.70. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why people become deaf.B. How to cure deafness.C. A new discovery about the gene FGF20.D. How the ear works.Part ⅣWriting(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Renewable energy is natural energy that can be used repeatedly and will never run out.Renewable energy comes from natural processes. Renewable energy has various forms. It can come directly from the sun, the ocean, or heat deep within the earth.Renewable energy is also known as green or clean energy, because the process of complete change does not cause the emission(排放)of greenhouse gas, which is harmful to the environment.Renewable energy sources include solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy(from the inside of the earth), ocean energy, hydropower(水力发电), natural gas, tide power, wave power and so on.Renewable energy can be used without using it up. There is no greenhouse gas emission, no pollution emission—no contribution to global warming. It is healthy and environmentally friendly.All forms of renewable energy are expensive. This is because it is a new technology and has extremely large capital cost. But as time goes on and technologies develop, renewable energy generally gets cheaper, while mineral fuels generally get more expensive.Renewable energy can be used for power generation, hot water, space heating, transport fuels and so on. But it is difficult to generate the quantities of electricity that are as large as those produced traditionally. So if we use renewable energy, we will need to build more energy facilities. The best solution is to have a balance of many different power sources.Renewable energy often relies on the weather for its source of power. Hydro generators need rain to fill dams to supply flowing water and solar collectors need sunshine to collect heat and make electricity. This can be unpredictable.Section B(10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Marley is a businessman. His business is freezing people. He works for a company in California called Trans Time. Trans Time freezes people after they die. Why does Trans Time freeze people? Doctors today can cure many diseases, but they cannot cure all diseases. People still get sick and dead. Maybe in the future doctors will have medicine for all diseases. Some people think so. They want Trans Time to freeze their bodies after they die. Maybe 100 or 200, or 300 years later, Trans Time doctors will bring the people back to life. The doctors will cure theirdiseases, and the people will be alive and healthy again.People often ask the scientists at the Trans Time, “How will Trans Time bri ng dead people back to life? ”They say, “We can freeze a healthy animal and bring it back to life. We think that someday it will be possible with human. ”When they say“someday”, they mean years from now - maybe 100 or 200 years. How can Trans Time keep people frozen for 200 years?After a person dies, workers at Trans Time cool the body with ice and chemicals. When the body is very cold, workers put the body into a capsule(密封舱). They fill the capsule with liquid nitrogen(液氮). The temperature in it is 196 degrees centigrade below zero. Every two weeks workers add more liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen keeps the body frozen.Trans Time charges $21, 000 to freeze a body and $59, 000 to keep a body frozen. That’s $80, 000 all together. It is a lot of money. But some people think that $80, 000 is a fair price. It’s a fair price for a chance to live again, isn’t it?81.What kind of people does Trans Time serve?(No more than 2 words) （2 marks）82. How much should one pay together, if he wants his body to be cooled and kept by Trans Time? (No more than 2 words) （2 marks）83.Why do people want to be frozen?(No more than 9 words) （3 marks）84.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?(No more than 6 words) （3 marks）Section C(25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.高中生活即将结束, 大学生活也将拉开帷幕, 你将面临新的学习和生活环境, 请写一篇英语短文, 谈谈你打算如何安排你的大学生活。
