高考英语阅读观点态度.docx

1、高考英语阅读观点态度观点态度Can people change their skin color without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 percent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 percent of Africa

2、ns, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebra-fish(斑马鱼) to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebra-fish skin color is determined by pigment

3、cells, which contain melanin(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanin per pigment cell determine skin color.It appears that, like the golden zebra-fish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanin production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng

4、, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebra-fish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live

5、in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said Chen

By labeling one group of people as high risk, and supervise them closely, there should be fewer murders, which the potential victims should be happy about. It also means that those

13、ientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all!

14、igue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and

15、 emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of Englands most outstanding scientists, J.A.Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.”Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hund

16、red percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No!

This trick seemed to work well with the baby koala. However, it is a known fact that human handling cause

20、s stress to koalas. In my personal opinion, this aspect clouds the fact that koala bears can be tamed(驯服).In Australia the koala is a priority animal as far as conservation status assessment is concerned.

22、 10 to 14 specific kinds. Koalas sleep for most part of the day, which is about 16 to 18 hours, and for most of their waking hours all they do is eat.
