第三部分阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

A
A recent announcement by scientists that they have successfully cloned the first human embryo has caused much debate and has shocked many people around the world.On the one hand，some scientists point out that if you clone an embryo，you can produce valuable tissues and organs that could be used to save human lives.On the other hand，many people，including some scientists，disagree and fear that if mankind interferes with(干涉) nature in this way，they may be on their way to producing a real­life Frankenstein’s monster.
Cloning is producing an exact copy of a plant or an animal using its cells.The first mammal to be cloned successfully from an adult cell was Dolly the sheep.She was born in 1996 and died in early 2003，at a much younger age than normal.When she was born，many people were angry because they thought cloning would create more disease in the animal world.However，in general the scientists were praised for their
wonderful scientific breakthrough.
The Scottish scientist who created Dolly，Ian Wilmut，is shocked that some scientists are now considering cloning human beings.Although he researches cloning，his intention has never been to create copies of humans.Instead，he thinks research efforts should concentrate on creating new tissues and organs that could eventually be used to cure diseases like cancer.However，some people consider that cloning human embryos with the intention of destroying them shows no respect for human life.
While cloning human embryos is illegal in many countries，some scientists are already pushing ahead with research so as to deliver a cloned human baby.Severino Antinori，an Italian doctor，is one of the leaders in this kind of research.He has declared that he wants to be the first to clone a human being.
In China，scientists have focused their efforts on cloning animals，as well as stem cells to be used in medical research.China has succeeded in producing clones of cows and goats，and continues to research ways in which cloning can benefit mankind.
56．Which of the following statements about cloning is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Cloning technology can only be applied to animals.
B．A cloned animal can live longer than a normal one.
C．People all over the world are happy about the birth of Dolly.
D．Cloning can produce valuable tissues and organs to cure human diseases. 57．The reasons why people are anti­cloning include the following EXCEPT that ________.
A．cloning may produce a real­life Frankenstein’s monster
B．cloning might create more disease in the animal world
C．cloning can’t help those who want to clone their dead children
D．cloning human embryos shows no respect for human life
58．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A．If we interfere with nature，we will change the world to be what we want.
B．It is impossible to clone babies for women who cannot have ones.
C．Cloning human beings is illegal in many countries，so no scientists want to do so.
D．Whether cloning human embryos is legal or not remains a matter of debate. 59．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Dolly—A Brave Try of Using Cloning
B．The Cloning Development in China
C．Cloning—A Perfect Copy
D．The Debate about Cloning
B
While the world is turning to green energy，there is a trend in the United States to take “green medicine”．“Green medicine”，which refers to herbal and Chinese medicine，has become another choice for Americans to keep healthy.
Naturopathic(自然疗法的) medicine includes traditional Chinese medicine，such as herbal medicine，natural treatment and acupuncture.Although there are different ways to use herbal medicine for treatment from Europe，and Asia，traditional Chinese medicine is absolutely very influential in the United States and other countries.
It is not easy to become a naturopathic doctor since it requires four years of medical education at postgraduate level medical schools.A naturopathic doctor has to pass exams to get a doctor’s license to practice and receive additional education to provide herbal medicine and other treatment such as acupuncture for patients.Naturopathic doctors can have their own stores to provide herbal and Chinese medicines to the patients.
A_recent_study_showed_that_herbal_products_have_gained_increasing_popularit y_in_the_United_States_in_the_last_decade，and_are_now_used_by_approximately_20_percent_of_the_US_population.Herbal products are complex mixtures of organic chemicals that may come from any raw or processed part of a plant，including leaves，stems，flowers，roots，and seeds.However，under the current US law，herbs are defined as dietary supplements，and producers can therefore produce，sell，and market herbs without first demonstrating safety and efficiency，as is required for drugs.
Most prescription drugs(处方药) are from chemicals and have side effects.When people are turning to green energy to save the earth，more Americans like to try a more natural way to treat diseases，and herbal and Chinese medicines are their choices.
60．What can be the best title of the passage?
A．Going Natural，More Americans Choose Herbal and Chinese Medicine
B．Naturopathic Medicine Is Absolutely Influential in the World
C．More Americans Like to Try Prescription Drugs
D．Herbal Products Can Be Produced and Sold Without Showing Safety
61．“Green medicine” probably refers to “________”．
A．herbal products and drugs
B．herbal and Chinese medicine
C．mixtures of organic chemicals
D．dietary supplements
62．A naturopathic doctor________.
A．must study for four years at graduate level medical schools
B．can provide herbal medicines to the patients after graduating
C．has to receive additional education to provide treatment
D．can get a doctor’s license after studying and practice in hospital 63．What can be inferred from the underlined part in Paragraph 4?
A．Americans have imported a lot of medicine lately.
B．Herbal products in the US are a big business.
C．Most people are still against herbal products.
D．Americans tend to give up chemical products.
C
I’m sure many of you h ave seen Star Wars，Jurassic Park，Multiplicity, or many of the other movies that describe cloning.Most of what you see in these movies is false.What you don’t know is that cloning could be dangerous，to the clone and to our society as a whole.It’s immoral to have a human clone.
What about identity？Humans are promised the right to their own personality.What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone else’s genetic identity？True，personality is not fixed in genetic fault of the cloned.
Also，there is a large power struggle here.Cloning means a degree of power and control over another person’s physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personality.The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.
Cloning would also deal with killing embryons(胚胎)．You might not have known，but Dolly，the sheep that was cloned in 1996，was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived.The rest died or were thrown away.Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans.More than 200 embryos，the start of 200 human beings，would die for the sake of just one embryo that would have the same DNA as someone else.
Cloning someone，at this present time，would be extremely dangerous to the birth
mother and the clone.In studies done on cows,4 out of 12 birth mothers died.There is a very high failure rate，which is showed in the cloning of Dolly.Even if you had a few good embryos，failures have been noticeable in animal tests.
So，should we work ahead in the world of cloning？I say no.The risks are greater than the benefits.It’s dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother.We would be killing human lives in the process.It would also be a violation(侵害) of the clone’s right to its own genetic identity and personality.
64．The author thinks human cloning is wrong mainly for ________reasons.
A．2 B．3
C．4 D．5
65．According to the article，what is the author’s opinion about identity?
A．Cloning itself gives parents great power over identity.
B．People’s identity is completely determined by their genes.
C．Governments have the rights to confirm people’s identities.
D．Cloning may prevent people from possessing their identity.
66．From Paragraph 4 we can infer that________.
A．human cloning is much more difficult than animal cloning
B．Dolly is the most successful one among 200 sheep embryos
C．cloning means running the risk of wasting too much effort
D．numbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloning
67．What is the author’s attitude towa rd cloning?
A．He is in favor of it.
B．He is against it.
C．He takes it for granted.
D．The passage doesn’t say.
D
Chocolate is so delicious，smooth and creamy.It’s been described as one of life’s little pleasure.Dieters can keep chocolate in their diets by ju st working it into their total calorie count.The average chocolate bar is 250 calories.
Most of the bad opinions of chocolate are based on the fact that it contains fat and caffeine.The level of fat in chocolate is due to the presence of cocoa butter，which increases blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.On the other hand，it also contains something that lowers the risk of heart disease！A regular cup of coffee contains 130 to 150 milligrams of caffeine while one ounce of chocolate contains only six
milligrams.At this rate，it’s better to give up coffee than chocolate.
In a study by Holland’s National Institute of Public Health and Environment，chocolate was found to have four times the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) of green tea.Catechins(茶酸) are powerful antioxidants in the prevention of cancer and heart disease.One hundred milligrams of black tea contain 13.9 milligrams of catechins.The same weight of dark chocolate has 53.5 milligrams of catechins.
I know what you’re going to say，“What about chocolate and bad tooth？” No problem.Researchers found that the cocoa butter in chocolate coats the teeth while it’s being eaten，making it one of the least likely snacks to cause bad tooth.
If you’re afraid you might be a chocoholic and won’t be able to stop at just one bar or reasonable handful，buy chocolate in smaller personal­sized packs rather than large bars or bags.You can still enjoy chocolate.
68．The first paragraph mainly tells us that________.
A．it is really bad to eat chocolate in your life
B．chocolate is much better than anything else
C．it is a pleasure for you to have chocolate
D．chocolate contains too many calories
69．According to the study，________.
A．black tea contains more catechins than chocolate
B．chocolate contains as much catechins as black tea
C．green tea is not good to keep your body strong
D．chocolate contains much more catechins than black tea
70．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The more chocolate you eat the better you will be.
B．Having coffee every day is a bad habit for you.
C．Something in chocolate can protect your teeth.
D．In fact，chocolate is very harmful to your teeth.

Some people are in favor of it.They think it has done and will continue to do a great job to improve crop production ，which no doubt can provide more food for the rapidly rising population.Moreover ，it may help to cure people of more diseases and everyone can enjoy a long and happy life.
However ，not all the people agree with that.Some people are against it for religious reasons ，because they believe everything should be made by God instead of human beings themselves.Others hold the belief that transgenic food should not be allowed to enter the human food chain in case mankind genes may be changed and cause creature disasters.
