The number of new casesreached 466,000 in 2015 , and the cancer caused 422,000 deaths that year, accounting formore than half
35、of the worlds liver cancer cases and deaths. The good news is that nowscientists in China have identified DNA markers specific to liver (肝脏）cancer, which isexpected to greatly improve accuracy in diagnosis (诊断）of it.Using the new technology, doctors can provide a diagnosis to patients with liver can
36、certhrough simple blood tests. That could decrease the chances of a misdiagnosis by morethan half, according to Xu Ruihua, director of the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center inGuangzhou, Guangdong Province, who has led the research.After five years of research, involving over 100 researchers from
37、different institutes,the scientists identified methylation in DNA circulating in the blood that is related to livercancer. Methylation is an abnormal genetic change that can cause cancer, Xu said. Usingsamples of DNA from a large group of 1,098 liver cancer patients and 835 healthy peoplefor compari
38、son, they constructed a diagnostic prediction model that showed high sensitivityand accuracy, Xu said in the study, which was published in Nature Materials , a sciencejournal, on Monday.Currently, a method that is often used for diagnosis of early-stage liver cancer is tocheck the level of alpha fet
39、oprotein (甲胎蛋白），which normally remains at very low levelin the blood but increases significantly in many liver cancer patients. But the method isineffective for 40 percent of those who have liver cancer, and 20 percent of patients with noliver cancer are diagnosed as having the disease because risin
40、g alpha fetoprotein levels canalso be caused by factors such as pregnancy and so on, Xu said.But using the new method, about 85 percent of cancer patients can be diagnosed andonly about 7 percent of patients are misdiagnosed, he said. The new method is moreaccurate and much simpler and does not requ
41、ire other tests, Xu said. The center hasdeveloped tests for liver cancer based on the research, and they will be used on people witha high risk of the disease at Sun Yat-sen Universitys Cancer Hospital, he said. And thetests are expected to be widely available for clinical use by the end of the year

Xu Ruihua will be famous overnight.D. There will be less patients of liver cancer.44. What is the disadvantage of the current method checki
43、ng the level of alpha fetoprotein?A. It is not effective at all. B. It involves high risks.C. It is time-consuming. D. It leads to misdiagnosis sometimes.45. The researchers could adopt blood test to check liver cancer because of discovery ofA. samples in DNA B. methylation in DNAC. alpha fetoprotei

The research result has been put into practice.D. The blood test is not effective enough.DReading a book an
45、d watching a film are two very different experiences, but expectations can be high when a film of a favourite book is made. There are very many times I have been disappointed by a film of a book I love. So maybe highly regarded books do not always make good films, it is safe to say that great movies
46、 may be made from not particularly good books.The source material may be anything from classic novels, short stories, comic books and stage plays, as well as non-fiction such as biography and autobiography, even those written by ghostwriters. All can work well, but why do many adaptations and indeed
47、 remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics?A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is. Since a typical film is only around two hours long, it becomes a question of what to leave out, and how to script the dialogue. Sometimes there may be changes to the plot, addition
48、s and even different endings to please producers, directors and test audiences. I, like many people, have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the book”.Another problem area is the cast. Whether suitable actors are found or not can mean the difference between success and failure. Read
49、ers of the book use their imaginations to visualize characters and have very definite ideas about how characters look and sound. This is where I think many film adaptations fall down.Some books are just too difficult to film for technical reasons, although movies likeThe Life of Pi are changing this perception. The impact of CGI technology has had a hugeimpact on the movie industry and allowed the previously unfilmable to become a reality.Sometimes authors are very involved in the process and many may even be
