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 dozen 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

using a reputable organization that has strong privacy policies in place,” she says. “Genetic data is

1biologically as important as a fingerprint.”
