9．BERLIN-With the crisis in Japan raising fears about nuclear power，Germany and Switzerland said on Monday that they would reassess（重新評估） the safety of their own reactors．
Doris Leuthard，the Swiss energy minister，said Switzerland would put off plans to build nuclear plants．She said no new ones would be permitted until experts had reviewed safety standards．
Germany will put off"the recently decided extension of the running time of Cerman nuclear plants，"Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters．"This moratorium （延緩） will run for three months and it will allow for a thorough exanunation of the safety standards of the country's 17 nuclear power plants．
The European Union called for a meeting on Tuesday of nuclear safety authorities to assess Europe's preparedness．

A previous government，led by the Social Democrats，passed a law in 2001 to close all the country's nuclear plants by 2021．But Mrs．Merkel's government changed that decision last year to extend the lives of the plants by an average of 12 years．
In Switzerland，Doris Leuthard said she had already asked to analyze the exact cause of the problems in Japan and draw up new or tougher safety standards"particularly in terms of seismic（地震的 ）safety and cooling．"

4．"Over the years the unthinkable has become thinkable and today we sense we are close to being able to alter human heredity（遺傳）．"These were the words of David Baltimore of the California Institute of Technology，on December 1st，when he opened a three-day meeting in Washington to discuss the morality and use of human gene editing．Dr Baltimore is an old hand at these sorts of discussions，for he was also a participant in the Asilomar conference，in 1975，which brought scientists together to discuss a safe way of using the then-new tcchnology of recombinant DNA，and whose recommendations influenced a generation of biotechnology researchers．
Four decades on，the need for a similar sort of chin-wag has arisen．The International Summit on Human Gene Editing has been held by the national scientific academies of three countries-America，Britain and China．They are particularly concerned about whether gene editing should be used to make heritable changes to the human germ line，something Dr Baltimore described as a deep and troubling question．Like those of Asilomar，the conclusions of this meeting will not be binding．But the hope is that，again like Asilomar，a mixture of common sense and peer pressure will create a world in which scientists are trusted to regulate themselves，rather than having politicians and civil servants do it for them．The meeting is being held against a backdrop of rapid scientific advance，Since 2012 research into a new，easy-to-use editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 has blossomed．This technique involves a piece of RNA （a chemical messenger，which can be used to recognise a target section of DNA） and an enzyme （酶） called a nuclease that can snip unwanted genes out and paste new ones in．
Public interest was aroused in April，when Chinese scientists announced they had edited genes in non-viable （ 無活力的） human embryos，and again in November when British researchers said they had successfully treated a one-year-old girl who had leukaemia （ 白血�。�，using gene-edited T-cells．T-cells are part of the immune system that attack，among other things，tumour cells．The researchers altered T-cells from a healthy donor to encourage them to recognise and kill the patient's cancer，to make them immune to her leukaemia drug，and to ensure they did not attack her healthy cells．
In another recent development，a firm called Edit as Medicine，which is based in Cambridge，Massachusetts，has said it hopes，in 2017，to start human clinical trials of CRISPR-Cas9 as a treatment for a rare genetic form of blindness known as Leber congenital amaurosis （伯氏先天性黑蒙）．Though other companies are already testing gene-editing therapies，these employ older，clunkier forms of the technology that seem likely to have less commercial potential．Moreover，researchers at the Broad Institute，also in Cambridge，said this week that they had made changes to CRISPR-Cas9 which greatly reduce the rate of editing errors-one of the main obstacles to the technique's medical use．
On the subject of germ-line editing，Eric Lander，the Broad's head，told the meeting it would be useful only in rare cases and said it might be a good idea to"exercise caution？before making permanent changes to the gene pool．The need for caution is advice that might also be heeded by those pursuing work in animals other than people，and in plants-subjects not being covered by the summit．
61．Which ofthe following is TRUE about CRISPR-Cas9？B
A．It has fewer side effects．
B．It can modify human gene．
B．It can protect immune system．
D．It has less commercial potential．
62．The underlined word"chin-wag"in Paragraph 2 can be replaced byA
A．discussion    B．negotiation  C．a(chǎn)rgument D．comparison
63．What can be inferred from the passage？D
A．Dr．Baltimore started his research on modiffing gene in 1975．
B．Scientists'opinions about the use of gene editing are consistent．
C．CRISPR-Cas9 has been applied to cure Leber congenital amaurosis．
D．More research should be made before the technology comes into wide use．
64．This passage is most probably aB．
A．science fiction  
B．scientific report
C．conference summary 
D．commercial advertisement．
