The first two decades of this century were dominated by the microbe hunters These hunters had tracked down one after another of the microbes responsible for the most dreaded scourges of many
centuries: tuberculosis, cholera, diphtheria But there remained some terrible diseases for which no microbe could be incriminated: scurvy, pellagra, rickets, beriberi Then it was discovered that these
diseases were caused by the lack of vitamins, a trace substance in the diet The diseases could be prevented or cured by consuming foods that contained the vitamins And so in the decades of the 1920’s and 1930’s, nutrition became a science and the vitamin hunters replaced the microbe hunters
In the 1940’s and 1950’s, biochemists strived to learn why each of the vitamins was essential for
health They discovered that key enzymes in metabolism depend on one or another of the vitamins as coenzymes to perform the chemistry that provides cells with energy for growth and function Now, these enzyme hunters occupied center stage
You are aware that the enzyme hunters have been replaced by a new breed of hunters who are tracking genes-the blueprints for each of the enzymes-and are discovering the defective genes that cause inherited diseases - diabetes, cystic fibrosis, These gene hunters, or genetic engineers, use recombinant DNA
technology to identify and clone genes and introduce them into bacterial cells and plants to create
factories for the massive production of hormones and vaccines for medicine and for better crops for agriculture Biotechnology has become a multibillion-dollar industry
In view of the inexorable progress in science, we can expect that the gene hunters will be replaced in the spotlight When and by whom? Which kind of hunter will dominate the scene in the last decade of our
waning century and in the early decades of the next? I wonder whether the hunters who will occupy the spotlight will be neurobiologists who apply the techniques of the enzyme and gene hunters to the
functions of the brain What to call them? The head hunters I will return to them later

VII Read the passage and choose the best answer
Among the more than 1.5 million species of living things that have been described and named, the human species is unique in that its members adapt to the environment primarily by a complicated form of learned behaviour called culture, which is transmitted from generation to generation by the symbol system
of language For all practical purposes, geographic variation in our species is now irrelevant because people adapt to the environment primarily by means of behaviour; whose biological basis is in the brain
and is not reflected in superficial differences in body surfaces When they first evolved, people who have
dark-coloured skins, but few human beings now live under natural conditions Also, technological advances have assured that at the present time, human beings of various rates are as likely to reproduce in one environment as in another The superficial differences between existing human races are thus largely relics of the past and are not of much functional significance today
66 The author’s main point in this passage is that ……
A the differences between human races today are not very important
B language is important to the human species
C people with dark-coloured skins were better adapted to living near the equator
D geographic variation plays an important part in the human species
67 According to the passage, the human species is unique because of…………
A having different coloured skins
B adaptation to the environment through cultural behaviour
