(五) 美国北卡罗来纳大学的研究人员在黄鼠身上鉴别并绘制出了启动动物冬眠的两个基因,这两个基因控制合成对于冬眠至关重要的酶。 据当地媒体报道,该校马修·安德鲁博士等人在黄鼠体内找到了一种基因控制合成胰腺甘油三酯酶。这种酶能分解以脂肪酸形式储存在体内的甘油三酯,然后将之转化成作为黄鼠冬眠时能量来源的脂肪。另一种基因则控制丙酮酸盐脱氢酶、激活酶和同功酶的合成,这些在饥饿时候被激发的酶能帮助保持体内的葡萄糖储备,在冬眠开始时或即将开始前,两个基因都在黄鼠的心脏中得到了表达。 研究人员还发现,这些基因与在非冬眠动物身上找到的对等基因几乎是一致的,但它们在冬眠与非冬眠动物身上的表达不一样。胰腺甘油三酯酶仅在非冬眠哺乳动物的胰腺中得到表达,却同时出现在黄鼠的胰腺和心脏中。 科学家若能鉴别出哪些是在冬眠这类极端状态下负责保护器官、降低血糖消耗和保持肌肉性能的酶,将能开发出延长移植用人体器官“保质期”的新方法,还可研制出诱导宇航员在长期太空旅行过程中安全进入冬眠状态的方法。 下列理解不符合原文意思的一项是( )

A. 在非冬眠动物黄鼠身上发现的冬眠的基因,对于人类的宇航事业有着重大的意义
B. 两个基因控制合成的酶有胰腺甘油三酯酶、丙酮酸盐脱氢酶、激活酶和同功酶
C. 研究人员发现胰腺甘油三酯酶在非冬眠动物的心脏中没有得到表达
D. 非冬眠动物身上也几乎能找到控制动物冬眠的所有的对等的基因

For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situa-tion, not about himself or what might happen to him.

Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Human needs seem endless. (78) When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs had fairly well been satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. (79) While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It ineludes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when______.

A. he has saved up enough money
B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C. he has satisfied his hunger
D. he has learned to build houses
