A defective(有缺陷的 ) PRES2 protein enables the Hepatitis B virus a major factor in developing liver cancer to gain access to human DNA while the virus is mutating(变异 ), thereby contributing to the onset of liver cancer or cirrhosis(硬化 )of the liver. A research team from National Taiwan University Hospital and National Cheng Kung University Hospital said that, if the protein could be repressed before the Hepatitis B virus undergoes mutation, it would reduce the risk of a patient developing the cirrhosis or cancer, according to a report in the China Times. Around 2 million people in Taiwan alone are carriers of the Hepatitis B virus. Around one third of those infected by the virus in their youth could go on to develop cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer after the age of 40, the report said. 58． According to the article, the real cause that leads to liver cancer is A. a kind of protein B. the Hepatitis B virus C. medicinal herbs D. mutating DNA 59． The number illustrated in paragraph 4 is most probably from A. a book review B. a national newspaper C. a medical textbook D. a local magazine 60． What may be mentioned in the following paragraphs?。
