材料：As with the duties of loading and stowing of the carrier under Hague Rules and national statutes incorporating one or other of those Rules，there is a difference of opinion as to whether the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another party，notably to the consignee．Despite some lower court expressions to the contrary，the more prevalent view is that loading，stowing and discharging are “non-delegable”obligations of the carrier of GOODs by sea.In consequence，while it may be permissible to transfer the responsibility for paying for loading，stowing and discharging to the shipper or consignee（e．g．by inserting an“FIOST”clause in the bill of lading），this or any other clauses which purport to also transfer the liability for fault or negligence in the conduct of these operations from the carrier to cargo are null and void，because they relieve or lessen the carriers obligations otherwise than as permitted by the Act．This position is well-founded，given the fundamental purpose of the Rules and the national statutes of protecting shippers and consignees against the superior bargaining power of carriers．While acceptable in charterparties，which are contracts of private carriage，such clauses are rightly set aside by courts in carriage under bills of lading．问题：According to this passage，“FIOST”clause in the bill of lading is ______．A.not accepted by courtsB.acceptable in courtsC.a non-delegable clause in the bill of ladingD.incorporated in the bill of lading to avoid superior bargaining by the carrier against the receiverThe prevalent view is that ______．A.the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another partyB.whether the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another party is still in disputeC.it is not necessary to consider whether the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another partyD.the carrier may mot validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another partyIt can be inferred that the author ______ the opinion that the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another party．A.supportsB.does not supportC.has not indicated whether he supports or notD.has no interest in discussingIn the eyes of law，an“FIOST”clause in the bill of lading ______．A.does not transfer the responsibility for paying for loading，stowing and discharging to the shipper or consigneeB.has nothing to do with the responsibility of the carrierC.relieves or lessens the carrier's obligations otherwise than as permitted by the ActD.imposes more obligations to the carrier than as permitted by the Act请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

Using HIV Virus to Cure CancerScientists are planning to use human immuno deficiency（免疫缺陷）virus(HIV) , one of mankind's most feared viruses,as a carrier of genes which can fight cancer and a range of diseases that cannot be cured.The experts say HIV has an almost perfect ability to avoid the body's immune（免疫的）defenses, making it ideal for carrying replacement genes into patients'bodies,according to the Observer.A team at the California-based Salk Institute,one of the world's leading research centers on biological sciences,has created a special new breed of HIV and has started negotiations with the U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA)to begin clinical gene therapy（治疗）trials this year.The first trials are expected to involve patients suffering from cancers that cannot be cured by surgery although project leader Professor Inder Verma said the HIV technique would have“far wider applications”.The plan remains very likely to cause controversy since it involves making use of a viruswhich has caused more than 22 million deaths around the world in the past two decades.Verma said that the idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose was“shocking”but the fierce nature of HIV had disappeared by having all six of the potentially deadly genes removed.Illnesses such as various cancers are caused when a gene in a patient's body fails to work properly.In the past two years, breakthroughs in genetics（遗传学）have led gene therapy sci-entists to try and replace the genes that do not function normally.Unfortunately,the body's immune defenses have been known to attack the modified genes and make them lose their effects before they can start their task and progress in the field has been held up by the lack of a suitable carrier.The HIV virus has the ability to escape from,and then destroy,the immune defense cells designed to protect our bodies and this makes it attractive to scientists as a way of secretly conveying replacement genes into patients'bodies.The HIV virus has caused more deaths in developed countries.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

单选题Passage 2Americans no longer expect public figures, whether in speech orin writing, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do theyaspire to such command themselves. In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing: TheDegradation of Language and Music and Why We Should ,Like, Care, JohnMcWhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservativeviews ,sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the declineof formal English.Blaming the permissive 1960s is nothing new, but this is not yetanother criticism against the decline in education. Mr. McWhorter’s academicspeciality is language history and change, and he sees the gradualdisappearance of “whom”, for example, to be natural and no more regrettablethan the loss of the case-endings of Old English.But the cult of the authentic and the personal ,“doing our ownthing”, has spelt the death of formal speech, writing, poetry and music. Whileeven the modestly educated sought an elevated tone when they put pen to paperbefore the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since then has sought tocapture spoken English on the page. Equally, in poetry, the highly personal,performative genre is the only form that could claim real liveliness. In bothoral and written English, talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity overcraft.Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both highand low culture, the trend that Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But itis less clear, to take the question of his subtitle ,why we should, like, care.As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, includingnon-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive-there existsno language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas. He is notarguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do nottalk proper. Russians have a deep lovefor their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetry in theirheads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem old-fashionedto most English-speakers. Mr. McWhorteracknowledges that formal language is not strictly necessary, and proposes noradical education reforms-he is really grieving over the loss of somethingbeautiful more than useful. We now takeour English on paper platesinstead of china. A shame, perhaps, but probably an inevitable one.According to McWhorter, the decline of formal English_______.A
is inevitable in radical education reformsB
is but all too natural in language developmentC
has caused the controversy over the counter-cultureD
brought about changes in public attitudes in the 1960s

问答题For centuries, explorers have risked their lives venturing into the unknown for reasons that were to varying degrees economic and nationalistic. Columbus went west to look for better trade routes to the Orient and to promote the greater glory of Spain, Lewis and Clark journeyed into the American wilderness to find out what the U.S. had acquired when it purchased Louisiana, and the Apollo astronauts rocketed to the moon in a dramatic show of technological muscle during the cold war. Although their missions blended commercial and political-military imperatives, the explorers involved all accomplished some significant science by going where no scientists had gone before. Today Mars looms as humanity’s next great terra incognita. And with doubtful prospects for a short-term financial return, with the cold war a rapidly fading memory and amid a growing emphasis on international cooperation in large space ventures, it is clear that imperatives other than profits or nationalism will have to compel human beings to leave their tracks on the planet’s reddish surface. Could it be that science, which has long played a minor role in exploration, is at last destined to take a leading role? The question naturally invites a couple of others; Are there experiment that only human could do on Mars? Could those experiments provide insights profound enough to justify the expense of sending people across interplanetary space? With Mars the scientific stakes are arguably higher than they have ever been. The issue of whether life ever existed on the planet, and whether it persists to this day, has been highlighted by mounting evidence that the Red Planet once had abundant stable, liquid water and by the continuing controversy over suggestions that bacterial fossils rode to Earth on a meteorite from Mars. A more conclusive answer about life on Mars, past or present, would give researchers invaluable data about the range of conditions under which a planet can generate the complex chemistry that leads to life. If it could be established that life arose independently on Mars and Earth, the finding would provide the first concrete clues in one of the deepest mysteries in all of science: the prevalence of life in the universe.

问答题Practice 1 After nearly a year of emotional arguments in Congress but no new federal laws the national debate over the future of human cloning has shifted to the states. Six states have already banned cloning in one form or another，and this year alone 38 anticloning measures were introduced in 22 states. The resulting patchwork of laws，people on all sides of the issue say，complicates a nationwide picture already clouded by scientific and ethnical questions over whether and how to restrict cloning or ban it altogether. Since l997，when scientists announced the birth of Dolly the sheep，the first cloned mammal，the specter of cloned babies, infants that ate，in essence，genetic carbon copies of adults has loomed large in the public psyche and in the minds of lawmakers. Today, there is widespread agreement that cloning fur reproduction is unsafe and should be banned. Now，the debate has shifted away from the ethics of baby-making and toward the morality of cloning embryos for their cells and tissues，which might be used to treat diseases. The controversy pits religious c6nservatives and abortion opponents, who regard embryos as nascent human life，against patients' groups，scientists and the biotechnology industry.

问答题Inheritance tax is a tax which many countries levy on the total taxable value of the estate of a deceased person. Inheritance tax is paid by the inheritor of the estate or by the person in charge of its assets. In most cases, if the estate is left to a charitable organization or a surviving spouse, no inheritance tax is due. In China, inheritance tax does not exist. Should inheritance tax be introduced to China? The controversy that has raged over levying inheritance tax in China currently shows little sign of abating. The following are opinions from both sides. Read the excerpt carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides, and then 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Opponents of inheritance tax typically refer to it as “death tax.” They argue first that concern over burdening their children with this tax may lead elderly to make unwise investment decisions late in life, and that it may also discourage entrepreneurship earlier in life. Opponents also claim that morally it should be only the choice of the person who earned the money what should be done with it, not the government. They see taxing wealth at death as a kind of forced income redistribution that goes against the market economy. Proponents of inheritance tax say that it helps prevent consolidation of wealth in the hands of a few powerful families and is a basic building block of the nation’s system of taxation. They also feel that inheriting large sums without tax undermines people’s motives to work hard in the future and, thus, undercuts the principles of the market economy, encouraging people to become idle and unproductive, which hurts the country overall.
