Jazz guitarist Joel Harrison came of
age in 1960s and
70s’Washington
，
but he never
saw it as a place to build a career
as
an adventurous
，
progressive
musician
．
Everywhere he's gon
e
，
however
，
he’s taken the sounds of the city with
him
．
“Growing up in that area
allowed me access to a lot of different kinds of
music
，
”says Harrison
< br>，
61
，
who’s now
based
in New York after living in
Boston and San
Francisco
．
“Southern music
traditions—
old-time music
，
bluegrass
，
country
—
as
well as jazz
and R&B
．
”
All
of
those
appear
to
some
degree
in
Free
Country
，
a
project Harrison
began
in 2003
as
a
means
of
filtering
(
渗
透
)country and bluegrass
compositions through a up-to-date jazz sound and
sensibility
．
On his new
album
，
“Angel
Band
：
Free Country V
ol.3
，
”Harrison
，
on guitar and vocals(
演唱
)
，
and his band take on
many traditional bluegrass
songs

really kind of its
own

Free Country
albums

produced
14
other
albums

rele
ases
，
though
，
have

Gatton

Harrison
is
also
a
composer
．

work
，
rooted
in
progressive
Jazz

received
a
Guggenheim
scholarship
in2010
to
compose
and
record
an
，
eight-movement
piece
．
The
tunes
he
plays
with
Free
Country

for Harrison
，
is
a large part of their
appeal
．
The
music that he’s covering

Gene
therapy(
基因治疗
)is
a
revolutionary
new
technique
for
treating
people
with
health
problems
．
Up
until
very
recently
，
the most
commonly available methods for treating patients
were either through drugs or
operations
．
Gene therapy
provides
a
third
option
for
treatment
by
transforming
or
replacing
cells
with
new
genetic
materials
and
2
instructions
．
Scientists can be very precise in the
kinds of changes they make in
patients
．
Gene
therapy works by using a delivery
system
，
such as a
virus
，
to enter a patient’s
body
．
Once inside the
body
，
the
virus
combines
with
a
host
cell
and
delivers
the
new
DNA
．
The
proteins
then
begin
to
repair
the
affected
cells
．
New
techniques have focused on removing
cells from the patients and transforming them
outside the body before reintroducing
them to the
patients
．
The
two types of gene therapy are called somatic and
germline
．
Somatic therapy
refers to changing or replacing a body
cell
．
In this
case
，
the treatment is
restricted to the patient
only
．
This
will
not affect the patient’s future children because
the
patient's
germ(
生殖
)cells are
unaffected
．
In germline
therapy
，
the patient germ
cells are treated
，
which may
affect the
patient's future
generation
．
This is highly
controversial(
有争议的
)because
it is not clear exactly how this might affect them
and further
generations
．
For this
reason
，
many countries have
passed laws that prohibit this kind of
treatment
．
Despite
the
promise
of
gene
therapy
，
there
are
still
many
barriers
that
need
to
be
overcome
before
it
comes
into
widespread
use
．
One of the issues is
that the use of viruses to deliver DNA may
actually cause unexpected problems in
patients if the virus grows and attacks
the body. Another problem is the nature of many
diseases is very complex and spread
throughout multiple genes. The use of
gene therapy to change a single gene in the body
would probably not be sufficient as
a c
ure
．
Finally
，
the costs of gene therapy are high. Some gene therapy procedures may cost over$$1 million to undertake and
require specialized
doctors and equipment
．
27
．
What does the
underlined word“them”in paragraph 2 refer to?
A
．
Tec
hniques
．
B
．
Cells
．
C
．
Patients
．
D
．
Proteins
．
28
．
What can we
learn about gene therapy?
A
．
Gene therapy
has been put into practice
widely
．
B
．
The cells of
patients are developed in healthy
people
．
C
．
Viruses
entering the body can mix with host cells and form
new DNA
．
D
．
Both somatic
and germline therapy have side effects on later
generations
．
29
．
What's the
last paragraph mainly about?
A
．
The
disadvantages of gene
therapy
．
B
．
The promising
future of gene therapy
．
C
．
The high costs
of treatment procedures
．
D
．
The issues
related to viruses and complex
genes
．

Therapy Procedures Are Extremely Expensive
