Exercise 2

高考英语阅读理解练习

The

police

recently

caught

the

suspected

Golden

State

Killer

using

a

tool

they

could

only

have

dreamed

of

decades

ago,when

a

shocking

series

of

murders

shook

California:

a

database

filled with people’s genetic data(

基因数据

).

The police used an open-source database called GEDmatch to find relatives who matched the

genetic

material

taken

from

an

old

crime

scene,

then

worked

backward

to

identify

and

catch

72-year-old former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo.

GEDmatch’s

950,000

users

voluntarily

uploaded

and

shared

their

genetic

information,

making it accessible to others who share their own data

—

including law enforcement agencies(

执

法机关

). More than a do

zen other similar platforms also exist. “If your relatives have contributed

and you are part of even a family tree that appears online in one of these shared resources, you can

be

indirectly

tracked

through

the

combination

of

their

DNA

and

the

publicly

available

family

history,” says Dr. Robert Green, a medical geneticist at Harvard Medical School.

Data

sent

to

commercial

companies

like

23andMe,

which

has

over

5

million

customers,

is

much tougher for outsiders to access, but the case has still highlighted the issue of genetic privacy.

Although

many

genetic-testing

companies

have

been

asked

to

cooperate

in

legal

investigations(

调查

), and clearly warn customers of this possibility, not all requests are honored.

“23andMe

has

never

given

customer

information

to

law

enforcement

officers,”

a

company

representative told TIME.

The risks of keeping such sensitive data private are high. The potential for abuse exists;for

example, insurance companies could theoretically use genetic data to refuse coverage(

保险范围

),

Green says. But the systems in place to prevent misuse appear to be working. One is the Genetic

Information

Nondiscrimination

Act,

a

2008

law

that

protects

consumers

from

employment

and

insurance discrimination related to genetics. As long as that’s the case, Green

says, the good of

genetic tests outweighs the bad.

Sharon Zehe, a lawyer for the department of laboratory medicine and pathology at the Mayo

Clinic, takes a more cautious approach. “Family tree services can be fun, but make sure you are
