Today, with the incredible advance in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan is largely determined by design, not by chance.

[1] Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method.Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
[2] The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious.Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country.You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go.Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people.In Italy, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower.
[3] On the other hand，________staying at home to study.You don't have to make big changes to your life.As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to
Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK.If you have a good teacher in Italy, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.
[4] So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK.This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only(可行的)viable option.The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximize your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.

It doesn't come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it. You just waste your valuable time.1.________One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is,
“No, thank you.I'm just looking.”？ Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sunglasses.” She says, “Right this way, please”．2．________If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing.But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying “to find out more about”，“to understand the reasons for” and “to find out how”．
3．________Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America”．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.
4．________At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately.But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes.5.________One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are one's own personal reactions.Another part of critical reading is judging sources.Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.
A．Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.
B．It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
C．You remember better when you know what you' re reading.
D．In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.
E．It's quite the same with your studying.
F．Reading is not one single activity.
G．This is the way it works.

It is very important to manage your time wisely. As you get older, you will have more responsibilities. You will find it easier to succeed if you learn to manage your time well.
1.
Write down major due dates on your calendar for the semester. Estimate how long it will take to do each project. Allow yourself more time than you think you will really need. Make a master schedule which should include the following activities：—all required school activities
—work schedule
—after­school activities
—blank spaces for unknown activities
A master schedule can help you keep track of all the things that you need to do. If you know what you have to do and when you need to do it, you can prepare better to finish it on time.
2.
Plan when to do all your tasks for the week. Schedule time to study for tests, read your textbooks, write papers, go to work, be at meetings. Leave enough time for your household duties.
3.
Make a “to do” list the night before or the first thing in the morning. If you write down what you need to do, your mind will be free to study. You won't worry and spend time thinking about what you have to do next.
4.
Use it for a few weeks, then ask yourself some questions. Are you getting your schoolwork done on time? Are you getting more things done? Do you feel you have
control of your time?
Yes? Then you should look at your schedule to see how it can be improved. The following things may help you.
5.
Break the big tasks down until they are small enough that you feel you know about how long it will take to complete them. Then fit them into your schedule. Follow your schedule closely. Even a well­plan ned schedule can't help you if you don't follow it.

Some people are pessimistic when they think about the future. They say that, a hundred years from now, we will have used up most of the earth's resources. We will have polluted our seas badly, and be unable to eat fish from them. We will have made the air so dirty that we will need to wear masks. The world's population will have doubled, and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.
Other people believe that Man adapts very easily. They have a different idea of the future. How, in their views, will people be living in a hundred years' time?
One architect believes that Man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the future will b e a huge, pyramid­shaped building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea.
As for oil, people will no longer need it: we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. And we will not be short of minerals, because there are plenty under our oceans.
What will be in the shops in the year 3000? What will people be wearing? How will people be traveling?
Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that, by the year 3000, shops will no longer exist. Computers will have replaced them; and people will order goods from home.
People will be wearing very light, thin clothes. By that time, scientists will have invented a fabric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.
As for travel, the experts say that most people will be using public transport. Electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night. Anybody will be able to stop one and use it.

A 10­month­old baby boy died last year and his sad parents have vowed to give him a second chance at life. They've paid $500, 000 to have a company called Clonaid make a clone of their son.“We will do all that is possible to bring the twin of this boy back to life，” said Brigitte Boisselier, director of Clonaid.
Boisselier is not alone in her desire to duplicate (复制) a human. Another team of scientists recently announced that they, too, have begun a similar experiment. If either team is successful in copying a human being, it will be a truly earthshaking event.
In 1997, Sottish researcher Ian Wilmut created the world's first animal clone: a sheep named Dolly. First, he removed an egg cell from an adult female sheep. Then he used a fine needle to suck out the egg's nucleus (核子). Next, Wilmut removed a skin cell from another sheep — the sheep he wished to copy. He combined the two
cells with a charge of electricity and got an egg from one animal that contained the DNA of another. The new egg cell divided and developed into an embryo (the first stage of a baby). Wilmut then implanted the embryo in the mother sheep. In time, the embryo developed into a lamb － Dolly.
Four years later, sheep，mice, cows, and goats, have been “produced” in laboratories around the globe. Now, the race is on to produce the first human clone. Two scientific teams are publicly competing for the first place. Human cloning is “just around the corner，” said Zavos, a scientist of a team. “The genie (妖怪) is out of the bottle.” Clonaid's lab ma y be moved to another country because the U．S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has forbidden the lab's research.
1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Ian Wilmut will help to clone the first human in the world.
B．Ian Wilmut cloned the first animal with the help of electricity.
C．The two teams are working hard to realize the parents' dream.
D．The parents paid$500, 000 to have their son come back to life.
解析：选B。

细节理解题。

根据第三段“He combined the two cells with a charge of electri city and ...”可知B选项正确。

2．By saying “The genie is out of the bottle” in the last paragraph, the scientist means ________.
A．the first cloned human will look terrible
B．we don't know what the cloned human will be like
C．we aren't sure how to control the cloned human's behavior
D．there will be some harm we haven't imagined with human cloning
解析：选D。

句意理解题。

综合该句的上下文可看出该句要表达的意思是：克隆人会产生一些意料不到的后果。

3．It could be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．some people don't agree to clone humans
B．scientists can clone whatever they like
C．any animal can be cloned now
D．the purpose of human cloning is to make money
解析：选A。

细节理解题。

由文章最后一段最后一句“Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has forbidden the lab's research.”可知，一些人不赞成克隆人。

4．What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?
A．The parents' dream coming true.
B．Ian Wilmut and human cloning.
C．The race of human cloning.
D．The animal and human cloning technology.
解析：选C。

推理判断题。

纵观全文，主要讲述了从克隆羊成功后，克隆的竞争一直存在，并且两支科学家组成的队伍正进行着克隆人的研究，所以C项较符合题意。
