第2题：
It is implied in the third paragraph that _____.
［A］ the “finish lines” refers to completion of DNA research.
［B］ former Genome Warriors will never fight again.
［C］ the former warriors are now collaborators
［D］ both sides will still work on independently
本题考查推理引申。第三段最后一句提到：尽管共同宣言使以前的基因勇士们比几年来都更加亲密，内部人士说未来达成的共识可能更多采取协调的形式，而不是直接的合作。［D］项所述内容是该句的言外之意。
由第三段的第二句话可知 finish line指基因测序工程基本完成，但所得结果只是初稿，还不是最终的确定版本，所以研究还要继续，［A］项错误。该段首句说：没人确定现在情形与以前有何不同。可见，他们以后会不会再起烽烟是不确定的事，所以［B］项错误。［C］项与［D］项相反，由对［D］项的分析，可知［C］项错误。
