What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame，they may be famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous，but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂)for change.They have a vision from the mountain top.They have the skill and the charm to move the masses.They create new possibilities.Without Gandhi，India might still be part of the British Empire.Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King，Jr.，we might still have segregated(隔离的)buses，restaurants，and parks.It may be possible for largescale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities，but the pace of change would be slow，the vision uncertain，and the committee meetings endless.一．根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________二．根据所读短文，选择最佳选项1．Although heroes may come from different cultures，they ________. A．generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB．probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC．are often influenced by previous generationsD．all unknowingly attract a large number of fans2．According to the passage，heroes are compared to highvoltage transformers inthat ________.A．they have a vision from the mountaintopB．they have warm feelings and emotionsC．they can serve as concrete(具体的)examples of noble principlesD．they can make people feel stronger and more confident3．Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ___________________.A．they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB．their performances do not improve their fans morallyC．their primary concern is their own financial interestsD．they are not clear about the principles they should follow4．Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ___________.A．are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB．can move the masses with the skill and the charmC．are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD．can provide an answer to the problems of their people5．The author concludes that historical changes would ___________________________. A．be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB．not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC．take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleD．produce leaders with attractive personalitiesBI work as an aid on a school bus. There is a guy Tyrell who is almost completely blind. Tyrell was all smiling for about a week. He's normally a quite happy kid, but I could tell this was different from the normally silly smile I see. Wednesday morning my curiosity finally got me to ask him why.He told me that he was going to ride his new 3-wheeled bike when he got home. He couldn't control his happiness. When he got off, he gave me a smile. A smile will forever be in my heart.The next morning, I noticed that his eyes were quite puffy (浮肿的). So were his mother's. I asked them why. She explained that was due to many hours of tears the night before. She said that Tyrell got to ride the bike once before he had to come in for dinner and was promised he could ride it again afterward. He left it in the back yard where they thought it would be safe.However, after dinner, the bike was nowhere to be found. They immediately broke into tears because they knew the thing that he treasured so much was stolen. She called her close friend to find some comfort.The friend called her up later and said that she forgot to tell Tyrell's mom that she had something for them and asked if it would be OK to bring it over. She, of course, was still crying from the thought that another bike would be impossible to afford and said yes. The friend brought over a huge box, in which there was a brand new bike for Tyrell.When they noticed what was in the box, they thanked their angel and cried even harder, not of sadness but of joy, and thankfulness.6. Why did the writer stress the guy's smile repeatedly in the first two paragraphs?A. His smile gave the writer a deep impression.B. The writer liked his happy smile very much.C. It set off how serious the loss of bike caused.D. The smile showed the happy ending of the story.7. Tyrell's mom cried so sadly at the lost bike because ____.A. her son wouldn't ride the bike any moreB. her family couldn't afford another bikeC. she felt very sad for the lost bikeD. she had just bought the bike for her son8. We can conclude from this story that ____.A. there are good people out thereB. offering someone helps is better than stealing from himC. the loss of the bike puts the family into a sad situationD. one can obtain happiness from helping othersCGoing to college has been such a new experience for me. Everything is different from when I was in high school. One thing I've noticed is that I haven't been focusing on my coursework like I planned.I thought I would spend most of my college life studying. But since I've been in college, about 60 percent of my time has been devoted to social life, while only 40 percent of my time has been devoted to my studies. I never knew I would make so many friends in such a short time.It's been so overwhelming (无法抵抗的)! I'm not saying that making friends is bad, but I'm starting to realize how much socializing has cut down on the time I should have spent on studying.Needless to say, that has to be changed.I've realized that I really don't want to spend an extra year or two here just because I slacked off as a freshman. So the first thing I'm going to do is to cut down on the amount of time I spend socializing. I will also have to say goodbye to a good part of the activities I like to attend.It's really difficult to cut these things out of my life, but I have to choose: I can have a full-time social life and fail college, or I can learn to balance my time between friends and studying and keep good grades. I think I'll stick to that second option!I may be a little strict on myself, but I'm here to get an education, not to learn how to socialize more! I want to have fun at college, but at the same time, I want to get a good education and have a bright future!9. What did the writer realize about his first year at college?A. He doesn't work as hard as in high school.B. Teachers don't care about him any more.C. He could make quite a lot of friends.D. He could spend much time on study.10. The writer makes a decision that he will ____.A. devote himself to his study rather than making friendsB. say good-bye to all his college activitiesC. cut down all his social life to have a good educationD. try not only to study well but also to have fun at college11. The underlined phrase “slack off” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to “____”.A. do one's bestB. spare no effortC. have a good timeD. make less effort12. We can infer from the passage that the writer will ____ at college.A. spend more time on studyB. make a lot of friendsC. take more activitiesD. cut down his studying timeDAfter a couple has had their first child, to their disappointment they became infertile and couldn't have more children. Cloning would enable such a couple to have a second child, perhaps a younger twin to the child they already have. Many couples have difficulty having children, and sometimes it is impossible for couples to have children because they are infertile. Cloning would allow these couples to have children.It is hard to tell someone that they cannot use cloning to have children when no other possible ways to have children are available. This is one reason why it is difficult to decide whether cloning is moral or not. The following are some of the reasons why cloning should be allowed.Through cloning, research can progress. We possibly can learn more about cell. We may develop technology to allow easier genetic testing and fixing problems such as spinal cord injuries, cancer, and many more.Cloning organs for organ transplants (移植) is one of the major practical reasons that cloning should be allowed. There is always a high demand for organs. Some argue for the cloning of humans to create extra body parts. Others talk of just wanting to clone an organ to replace a faulty organ.Rejuvenation (恢复青春) is also a key argument for advocates (提倡) of cloning. Some scientists believe that injecting cloned healthy heart cells into damaged heart tissue will lead to healing of the heart. By combining the technology for cloning and the technology for growing human stem cells, conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and some other ageing disease may be curable. The possibilities are endless and may be left undiscovered if human cloning is forbidden.13. The underlined word “infertile” in Para. 1 means “____”.A. unable to have childrenB. too poor to grow cropsC. poor in pregnant knowledgeD. unable to afford to bring up children14. How many reasons does the writer give in this passage about why cloning shouldbe allowed?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Cloning babies for infertile couples is moral.B. Through cloning, research work in cells can make great progress.C. Cloning cells can make some diseases concerning ageing curable.D. Cloning technology may help improve medical technology.16. From the passage, we can know the writer's attitude toward human cloning is ____.A. negativeB. supportiveC. uninterestedD. opposingEBARCELONA (Reuters) —“Galactic Suite”, the first hotel planned in space, expects to open for business in 2012 and would allow guests to travel around the world in 80 minutes.Its architects say the space hotel will be the most expensive in the galaxy, costing $4 million for a three-day stay.During that time guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and use Velcro suits to crawl (爬) around their pod (分离舱) rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.Company director Xavier Claramunt says the three-bedroom hotel's joined up pod structure, which makes it look like a model of molecules, was based on the fact that each pod room had to fit inside a rocket to be taken into space.“It's the bathrooms in zero gravity that are the biggest challenge,” says Claramunt. “How to provide enough space for more private activities of the guests is not easy.”But they may have solved the issue of how to take a shower in weightlessness — the guests will enter a spa room in which bubbles of water will float around.When guests are not admiring the view from the windows of their pod rooms'， they will take part in scientific experiments on space travel.“There is fear associated with going into space,” said Claramunt. “That's why the shuttle rocket will remain fixed to the space hotel for the duration of the guests' stay, so they know they can get home again.”“But,” says Claramunt, “I'm hopeful that the impact of seeing the earth from a distance will stimulate (激发) the guests' urge to value and protect our planet.”17. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. “Galactic Suite”: the first hotel planned in spaceB. Fly me to the moon: space hotel sees 2012 openingC. Fly to the moon: a greatest dream for humansD. Building a space hotel: a dream or a reality?18. Which of the following is NOT what guests can do in “Galactic Suite”?A. Watching the sunrise.B. Taking a weightless shower.C. Doing scientific experiments.D. Walking in space.19. Suppose we will travel to space, the following will be the problems we must solve EXCEPT ____.A. weightlessnessB. fearC. pollutionD. money20. The writer's writing this passage is to ____.A. prove space travel is possibleB. tell us a bright dream of going to spaceC. explain some problems existing in space travelD. report a space hotel to be completed by 2012IV 单词拼写1. The role of the news m_________ informing public opinion is of great importance.2. The small town looks e__________ as it did when it was built 200 years ago.3. I'm sorry to d_________ you so late, but I was wondering if I could use your phone.4. For a teacher to hit a child is not just m__________ wrong but also illegal.5.

人教版高中英语选修8练习：Unit 2 Cloning (含解析)
Unit 2 Cloning[导语] 从1998年中国科学院动物研究所首席科学家、动物克隆与受精生物学学科带头人陈大元首次正式提出克隆大熊猫到现在，整整20年过去了，陈老仍然执着于此。
然而保护大熊猫，究竟要不要通过克隆的方式呢？China has been exploring every possible means of saving giant pandas，one of the world's most endangered species，from becoming extinct，even if it means resorting to(诉诸) cloning them.Chen Dayuan，a senior scientist who specializes in cloning at the Institute of Zoology in the Chinese Academy of Sciences，introduced the idea of performing cloning techniques on giant pandas in 1998.Using initial funding of 100，000 yuan，Chen successfully produced blastocysts(胚泡) by transplanting the somatic nucleus from sample pandas into the egg cells of rabbits.“Those who are against cloning have made their voices heard throughout the research project on cloning giant pandas.Some people believe cloning goes against nature，but it is actually a pioneering technology.If successful，it isa way to save endangered animals，”Chen said.Some scientists take a different view.“While I agree that research on cloning is meaningful，it is inappropriate to use giant pandas in this type of experiment.The number of pandas is limited and human beings have yet to master knowledge about pandas' pregnancy.Cloning would do little to save the species，”said Wang Dajun，a researcher at the School of Life Sciences，Peking University.In response，Chen said that he would continue his research.[词海拾贝]1．endangered adj.快要绝种的2．technique n．技巧，手法3．transplant v．移植4．pregnancy n．怀孕[问题思考]1．Do you think pandas

walking towards the children’s classroom.His face showed a mix of fear and excitement，and he stayed close to his sister as he moved down the aisle.My wife and I sat together，alone there for the first time.I began to feel sad，a longing for something I couldn’t describe well.I glanced at my wife.A tear rolled down her cheek.She was feeling the same thing.I slid over，and we held hands.Our last child was entering the first grade，and we felt part of him slipping away.He’d be in school for a full day now.He’d be more independent，and need us less often.And，he’d never again be the toddler he once was.In our “stay positive”culture，many parents only see these times as a reason to celebrate.They see it as an inevitable change，and prepare themselves for the next challenge.But I couldn’t help feeling this.I didn’t want to bury my feeling of sadness.Those who protect themselves from these moments lose a great opportunity of growth.It is the kind of growth that results from pain，and makes us all more a part of the human family.Half an hour later，my son returned to us，his eyes twinkling.He was excited to tell us about his new experience.We listened to him，and his smiling face helped to ease the sadness.In fact，it was impossible not to feel happy for him.Loving_your_kids_is_not_always_easy.There are painful times when we see them moving away from us.But we must not avoid or run away from these feelings，for they give us the chance to increase our capacity for joy，while we are experiencing great sadness.16．The author’s son stayed with his sister close maybe because ________.A．he had to walk with the help of his sisterB．he wanted to be protected by his sisterC．he was not only scared but also very excitedD．he didn’t want to leave his parents alone17．When the author’s wife saw their son leave，she was ________.A．heartbroken B．warm-hearted C．disappointed D．hopeful18．We can know from the third paragraph that________.A．it is wrong for parents to protect their childrenB．many parents are very cruel to their childrenC．it is very dangerous to meet the challengeD．children can grow by joining the human family19．The underlined sentence “Loving your kids is not always easy.”(in Paragraph 5) is most likely to tell us that________.A．it is difficult for you to love your kidsB．you’d better not love your kids any longerC．loving your kids sometimes makes you painfulD．you’re really happy to love your kids sincerely20．The author has written this passage in order to tell us that________.A．we shouldn’t allow our children to go to school earlyB．sadness is a normal feeling when our children leave usC．we should let our children live independentlyD．happiness is actually as important as sadnessBSitting across from a German couple and a Chinese mother and her child，we were waiting at the Guilin airport for our delayed flight to Shanghai.In this last week of our travel-study tour，my husband and I were savoring this short break by reading.I tuned out the languages I couldn’t understand.But it was an American accent that pulled my attention from my book.It also pulled the attention of three rows of people seated around us as the American barked，“Coming through！Coming through！”At the same time，an oversized man pulling an oversized carry-on passed our row.His wheeled bag caught the German’s feet.Turning to see what snagged his luggage，the American fellow yanked his bag so hard that it crossed over the man’s feet.It was then that my horror struck.There was no “I’m sorry”，no “Excuse me” and no “Pardon me” coming from this countryman of mine.While this wasn’t the first or last incident where I sighted discourteous，ill-mannered，rude Americans in China，each produced similar feelings.First，I was embarrassed that someone from my country was creating a negative impression of Americans.My second reaction was a desire toapologize.I wanted them to explain to the Chinese woman and her child，the German couple next to them，and everyone nearby that this was not typical American behavior.I wanted them to know “we” were all not like that.I never got to explain，or to nguage differences made that option impossible，and rational thinking made it inappropriate.And it turned out not to be a need.The German caught my eyes with a bit of head-shaking，smiling and eye rolling，which I returned，and it was clear that he knew we were Americans and was expressing that there was “no need”to apologize for “universal idiot behavior”．21．In the airport the author and her husband ________.A．were talking with a German coupleB．were having a good timeC．were enjoying reading togetherD．were worrying about their flight22．According to the author the man with an American accent was________.A．strong B．impolite C．humorous D．generous23．The underlined word “snagged” (in Paragraph

Unit 2 Cloning第Ⅰ卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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★★☆☆☆At the age of 16, Julia Butterfly Hill quit school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money and material things. Then one day she had a serious car accident, which changed her life. Hill said: “I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.”As soon as she recovered, Hill traveled to California. There she saw ancient redwood trees, which are the largest trees in the whole world. The wood from redwood trunks is very hard. So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction. There are not many forests of these trees left.Many environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees. The redwoods are very important to the environment.In 1997 Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of trees. They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree, hoping this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered.Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever coming down. Her home was a 6-by-8-foot tree house, 180 feet up. It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree. The wind and cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree. But she did not fall — she survived.Finally, after years of arguing, the company decided to protect Luna, the tree Hill lived in. They signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it. When Hill put her feet on the earth again, she began to cry. But from that moment on Hill hasn’t stopped working to protect t he environment.21. Julia Butterfly Hill traveled to California _____.A. to find a new jobB. to build a tree houseC. with the hope of joining Earth FirstD. in expectation of doing something meaningful22. The redwood trees were cut down mainly _____.A. because they might fall over at any timeB. because they had great economic valueC. to protect other trees in the forestD. to make space for constructions23. Julia Butterfly Hill’s living conditions in the tree were _____.A. comfortableB. coolC. toughD. satisfying24. What can we learn about Julia Butterfly Hill from the text?A. She has a sense of social responsibility.B. She failed to protect the redwood tree.C. She built a new house in the forest.D. She is a self-centered woman.B★★★☆☆There are a lot of products out there that make your life easier. Some, however, are a little sillier than others — so much that they seem like joke products. Here are a few products that sound crazy, but actually rule.Sleep PhonesIt’s hard to imagine something sillier than a music-playing headband you wear while you sleep, but they exist —and are quite popular. Sleep Phones won’t give you the highest quality sound in the world, but if you prefer to fall asleep to music, they’refar more comfortable than normal headphones. While they’re a bit expensive, they might be perfect for you. T here’s also a wireless version (版本) if you prefer.Onion GogglesIf cutting onion brings on the waterworks no matter what you try, i t’s time for desperate measures. We tested a bunch of methods for avoiding onion tears, and found the best solutions came down to cutting the onion under a vent (通风孔), or wearing these stylish and awesome goggles.Lock LacesThere’re some great ways to tie your shoes better, but if you long for the laceless shoes of your childhood days, Lock Laces are a pretty good choice. They’re basi callyelastic (有弹性的) laces that remove the need to tie your shoes. Sure, people will make fun of you, but you can make fun of them after they trip over their own untied laces. Or you can make your own slip-on shoes with elastic tubing.2D-GlassesHate 3D-movies, but have to go to one? The difference between 2D-glasses and 3D-glasses lies in their lenses (镜片). Each lens of 2D-glasses blocks the same picture, so each eye gets the same picture, while each lens of 3D-glasses blocks a different picture, so each eye gets a different picture which the brain interprets as 3D. Now you have a pair of glasses that can save you from the headache caused by wearing3D-glasses which are popular in our movie theaters. You can buy them or make a pair for yourself.25. What do we know about Sleep Phones?A. There are two versions.B. They’re comfortable but unhealthy.C. They give you the best quality sound.D. They’re cheaper than other headphones.26. The underlined part “brings on the waterworks” in the text probably means _____.A. makes your eyes waterB. makes your fingers hurtC. destroys your water pipesD. adds to your washing work27. What is the advantage of Lock Laces?A. They are strong and lasting.B. They help you walk comfortably.C. They are stylish and eco-friendly.D. They save you from tying your shoes.28. Compared with 3D-glasses, 2D-glasses _____.A. are cheaper and thinnerB. won’t give you a headacheC. let you see a different pictureD. are more popular in movie theatersC★★★★☆A team led by a nurseryman (花圃工人) and his sons has raced against time for20 years, using branches from some of the world’s biggest and most long-lasting trees to produce clones that could restore ancient forests and help fight climate change.Now comes the most ambitious step of the project: getting the new trees into the ground. Plantings of two dozen clones from California’s huge coastal redwoods will take place Monday in seven nations: Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Germany and the U.S.The lab-produced trees are genetic copies of three huge trees that were cut down in northern California more than a century ago. Remarkably, new branches still grow from the stumps (树桩), including one known as the Fieldbrook Stump, which measures 35 feet in diameter (直径). It’s believed to be about 4,000 years old.“We need to reforest the planet. To do that, it just makes sense to use the largest, oldest trees that ever lived,” said David Milarch, co-founder of the non-profit Archangel Ancient Tree Archive.Milarch and his sons Jared and Jake, who have a family-owned nursery, became concerned about the condition of the world’s forests in the 1990s. They began traveling across the U.S. in search of “champion” trees that have lived hundreds or even thousands of years, believing that better genes make it possible for them to outlive others of their species. Scientific opinion varies on whether that’s true, with skeptics saying the survivors may simply have been lucky.The Archangel team says the y’ve developed several methods of producing genetic copies. They focus on towering sequoias and redwoods, considering them best suited to absorb great amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas primarily responsible for climate change.The challenge is to find places to put the trees, people to look after them and money to continue the project, Jared Milarch said. The group is funded through donations and doesn’t charge for its clones.“A lot of trees will be planted by a lot of grou ps on Arbor Day, but 90 percent of them will die,” David Milarch said. “You can’t plant trees and walk away and expect them to take care of themselves.” Those receiving Archangel redwoods have promised to care for them properly.29. According to the text, the clones _____.A. are rather expensiveB. are based on dead ancient treesC. have been experimented for 20 yearsD. have been widely grown across the U.S.30. To reforest the planet, David Milarch chooses the largest, oldest trees because _____.A. they are lucky treesB. they have better genesC. they are easier to plantD. they look more beautiful31. David Milarch’s team believes that genetic copies from sequoias and redwoods _____.A. can take in more greenhouse gasesB. are hard to survive for a long timeC. are likely to cause climate changeD. may be a threat to existing plants32. What is stressed by David Milarch in the last paragraph?A. The need of financial support.B. The difficulty of finding places.C. The importance of caring for trees.D. The challenge of running his group.D★★★★☆During the Middle Ages, most things that people did not understand were explained through religion. The Catholic Church sought to silence those who tried to understand and explain the world in natural terms, and banned dissection (解剖) of humans.Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first people of the Renaissance to use the modern scientific method. He carefully observed nature, conducted experiments, and arrived at conclusions. His research unavoidably brought him into conflict with the Church.Leonardo spent his life studying the world around him and filled many notebooks with drawings and ideas inspired by nature. He studied human anatomy (人体解剖学) by dissecting dead bodies, made detailed notes, and drew large numbers of pictures to explain.He studied the flight and anatomy of birds in order to design a flying machine. He was not successful, although he tried out several strange-looking machines.As a scientist, Leonardo made great contributions in the fields of anatomy, botany (植物学) and physics. Leonardo was the first person to note that the number of rings of a tree was the same as its age. He was also the first person to describe the arrangement of leaves in plants and draw parts of the body in cross-section.Leonardo was also a great inventor. He did not seek simply to better understand the world. He wanted to change it through the invention of new and useful machines. His curiosity took him in many directions.Although some of his inventions, like the extendable ladder (伸缩梯), were practical in his time, others, such as the helicopter (直升飞机), would only be useful hundreds of years later. They required new technologies.Leonardo lived hundreds of years before many of his ideas were fully put to use. He was both a man of his time and a man of the future. From flight to deep sea exploration, much in our modern world was first visualized by Leonardo.33. Leonardo dissected dead human bodies _____.A. for pleasureB. for scientific researchC. to show his anger to the ChurchD. to teach others about human anatomy34. Why was Leonardo “a man of the future”?A. He pictured many modern inventions.B. His ideas were totally realized in his time.C. His inventions influenced later generations.D. He was the founder of modern technologies.35. We can infer from the text that Leonardo _____.A. sent his helicopter into the airB. was fond of collecting notebooksC. was the first person to study the worldD. helped develop science and technology第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

possibility is generating replacement for a dying relative.All such possibilities，however，raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete individual，because he or she would likely suffer from limitations and expectations based on the family's knowledge of the genetic“twin”．Those expectations might be false，because human personality is only partly determined by genes.The clone of an extrovert(性格外向的人) could have a quite different way of behavior.Clones of athletes，movie stars，or scientists might well choose different careers because of chance events in early life.Some people have also pointed out that couples in which one member is infertile (不生育) might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner.But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a copy of just one of them.Because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility，the traditional choice seems more appropriate.None of the suggested uses of cloning for making copies of existing people is ethically acceptable to my way of thinking，because they are not in the interests of the resulting child.It should go without saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.In spite of this，it seems clear that cloning from cultured (人工培育的) cells will offer important medical opportunities.Predictions about new technologies are often wrong；societal attitudes change；unexpected developments occur.Time will tell.But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.31．Towards cloning an existing person，what concern does the author show?A．The clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.B．The clone created is ethically unacceptable.C．The clone created will be mistreated.D．The clone created will have one defect or another.32．From the text we know that a clone will________.A．be partly similar in personality to the person it is created fromB．share the same characteristics with the person it is created fromC．choose the same career as the person it is created fromD．behave in the same way as the person it is created from33．In the author's view，which of the following uses of cloning is reasonable?A．To help childless couples to have a baby.B．To culture cells for medical purpose.C．To develop tissue donors.D．To replace a lost relative.34．What is the author's attitude towards cloning technology?A．It should wait till people's views change.B．It should be condemned.C．It was unethical from the very beginning.D．It has medical potential for scientists to explore.BMy mom's entire life changed in the matter of a few seconds.While driving home late one night，my parents' SUV was hit from behind by a drunk driver traveling 70 miles per hour.Dad was killed instantly.Mom was thrown from the SUV and people found her on the side of the road.Once I saw my mom in the hospital，I knew she had a long road ahead of her.She had crushing injuries to her arm and shoulder，and her elbow was dislocated in three places，leaving it permanently bent.Although it took my mom a long time to physically recover from the accident，it was only a short time before my mom's positive spirit returned.Throughout her journey of recovery，my mother rarely complained.I could see the pain in her eyes during physical therapy，but never heard her question why this had happened to her.In fact，I remember one “role reversal” where we both just had to laugh.Mother had lost a lot of weight during her hospital stay，so I bought her some new clothes.I had to dress her at first，but she challenged herself every day.Finally，when she was able to get dressed on her own，she looked at me in the mirror and started laughing.While she appreciated the clothes I had bought，she really hated the styles I had chosen for her and couldn't wait to go shopping on her own.I started laughing too；she had struggled for months to put on these clothes that she didn't even like!It reminded me of when I was in kindergarten and my mother made me wear dresses when I just wanted to wear pants.It was a funny role reversal for both of us and I understood how she felt.It took my mom two long years to gain back her strength and limitedflexibility.Those few years were a traumatic time for our entire family.Mom had to overcome many challenges.But she found that strength of will and a sense of humor can get you through the toughest times，even when you don't think you have anything to smile about.35．The author presented the story by ________.A．asking drivers to pay attention while drivingB．reminding readers not to drive too fastC．explaining the result of driving after drinkingD．describing the scene of the accident36．By saying “a long road ahead of her”，the author meant ________.A．it would take her mother a long time to recoverB．her mother could continue to live for a long timeC．her mother needed to walk every day to get betterD．her mother would pay a lot for the treatment37．The example of “role reversal” is used to prove ________.A．her mother was particular about dressingB．her mother behaved like a girl in the kindergartenC．her mother could keep a positive attitudeD．her mother had an eye for beautiful clothes38．The best title for the passage may be________.A．Remain Clam When Death Drawing NearB．Keep Your Head Up in Case of TroubleC．Show Real Courage in Front of DangerD．Persist No Matter What Your Troubles AreCColorado farmer Chris Jessen and his wife Pam became the newest owners of a “panda cow” when it was born on their farm on New Year's Eve.The calf(小牛)，named Ben，was created through genetic engineering.Ben was the second panda cow born on Jessen's farm，but was a surprise，Jessen said that he was expecting a black calf.This rare breed of panda cow gets its nickname from its similarity to a panda bear.Its white face and black fur around its eyes are extremely pandalike.There is a white belt circle around the middle part of its black body.Baby Ben has a black mark on its forehead.Its thick newborn coat also increases the similarity to apanda.Ben is expected to grow four feet tall and weigh close to 1,000 pounds，like its father.The breed is not only extremely rare，but is also only ten years old.The first mini panda cow，Precious，was born on April 27,2000，on the Happy Mountain Miniature Cattle Farm，in Covington，Washington.It took 44 years of genetic engineering by Richard Gradwohl，although the farmer claims the new cow was actually an accident.Precious's father was an American Beltie bull，named Rebel.The mother was a small Happy Mountain cow，named Sarah.Gradwohl is the author of The Beginners Guide to Owning Your Own Miniature Cattle Business guidebook，a 24part article series.These miniatures are actually kept to be pets.Jessen plans to sell Ben after training.Cows are social animals that respond well to humans and some will come when their names are called.Panda cows can be petted and are popular with many people.A close relationship can be formed with them，like other more traditional pets.39．Why was Ben a surprise to Chris Jessen?A．Because Ben looked different from what he had expected.B．Because Ben was born on New Year's Eve.C．Because Ben was created through genetic engineering.D．Because Ben was the second panda cow born on his farm.40．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A．Cows cannot understand humans' instructions very well.B．Ben will be kept as a pet by Jessen.C．Panda cows are too big to be petted.D．Gradwohl knows how to manage miniature cattle business well.41．Which of the following is a similarity between Precious and Ben?A．They were both created through genetic engineering.B．They are both four feet tall.C．They belong to the same owner.D．They were born in the same state of the USA.42．What is the main purpose of this passage?A．To introduce a new technology to us.B．To show us how the panda cow is made.C．To introduce a genetic engineering invention：the panda cow.D．To introduce the Happy Mountain Miniature Cattle Farm to us.D(2012·安徽高考)Welcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and

first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large，warm，and soft object in its environment，particularly if that object also gives it milk.After a week or so，however，the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother”－the real mother or the mothersubstitute(母亲替代物)．During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心理的) thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby.The Harlows，a couple who are both psychologists，discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mothersubstitutes—one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire.If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature，the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother.However，if the wire model was heated，while the cloth model was cool，for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mothersubstitutes as their favorites.Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact(接触) comfort seems to be the answer，and a most powerful influence it is.Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers' skins，putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can.Whenever the young animal is frightened，disturbed，or annoyed，it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body.Wire doesn't “rub” as well as does soft cloth.Prolonged (长时间的)“contact comfort”w ith a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.According to the Harlows，the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust.If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother，the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be.It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball.If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom，the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life.After a few minutesof contact comfort，it obviously begins to feel more secure.It then climbs down from the mothersubstitute and begins to explore the toys，but often rushes back for a deep embrace(拥抱) as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well.Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its “mother”．47．Psychologically，what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?A．Warmth. B．Milk.C．Contact. D．Trust.48．What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”？A．Attention. B．Softness.C．Confidence. D．Interest.49．It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure，________.A．it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toysB．it spends more time screaming to get rewardsC．it is less attracted to the toys though they are interestingD．it cares less about whether its mother is still around50．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A．give the reasons for the experimentB．present the findings of the experimentC．introduce the method of the experimentD．describe the process of the experimentⅣ.完成句子(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)51．John studied hard before the examination，and it ____________.(pay)约翰在考试前努力学习，结果得到了回报。

Since Scottish scientists reported that they had 27 to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997, research into cloning has grown rapidly. In May 1998, scientists in Massachusetts managed to create two identical calves(牛犊) 28 cloning technology. A mouse has 29 been cloned successfully, butthe debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago 30 Richard Seed made a surprising announcement. "We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years," he told the world.Seed's announcement 31 a lot of media attention. In Europe, nineteen nations have already 32 an agreement banning human cloning andin the US the President 33 : "We will be introducing 34 law toban human cloning and many states in the US will have 35 anti-cloning laws by the end of the year."Many researchers are not so negative 36 cloning. They are worried that laws 37 human cloning will threaten important research. In March, the New England Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans 38 mistaken. Many researchers also believe that 39 attempts to ban it, human cloning will have become routine by 2021 because it is 40 to stop the progress of science.Is there a reason to fear that cloning will 41 a nightmare world? The public has been bombarded(轰炸(hōngzhà)) with newspaper articles, television shows and films, 42 cartoons. Such information is often misleading, and makes people 43 what on earth the scientists will be doing next.44 the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning humans.

Kurpinski and Johnson are both bioengineering experts; unlike similar scientists you have seen in the movies, they both have a sense of humor. What surprises me is that Kurpinski and Johnson are able to take something as complicated as DNA and make it understandable.The book How to Defeat Your Own Clone teaches us what is now known as DNA-encoded, how that happens, and why people with similar DNA don't look or act the same. The book not only helps us get a basic understanding of what DNA and its purpose are, but also explains cloning and stem cell (干细胞) research. Itoccurs to me that a lot of people who are against stem cell research don't know what they are protesting about. The authors provide a history of cloning, as well as information about stem cells.The real fun starts when the authors attack various myths about cloning. Obviously, too many people have been watching too many bad movies and television programs. Remember they're just fictional stories. If, somehow, scientists manage to clone you. Twenty years from now your clone isn't going to kill you. Among the myths explored and exploded are that a clone will know everything you know and will act as you do, that heads which are cut off can be kept alive, and that a clone has no belly button (肚脐(dùqí)). Many of the myths are ridiculous but many people believe them.Kurpinski and Johnson also detail some bio-improvements "that really work". You see, genes can be controlled to help you sleep better and become smarter, healthier, and taller. Well... not exactly you, but future generations. If you do wind up in a battle with your own clone, who will be considerably younger than you, remember that it is not you and that it doesn't know what you know.46. Many bioengineering experts in the movies are .A. humorousB. wealthyC. seriousD. crazy47. We can learn from the passage that biotechnology .A. has been banned in many countries around the worldB. is being used to improve one's intelligence right nowC. can help improve the physical condition of future generationsD. is sure to cure any disease in the near future48. According to the passage, a clone of you .A. will want to kill youB. knows whatever you knowC. has no belly buttonD. will be younger than you49. The passage was written mainly to .A. predict the future of cloningB. introduce two bioengineering expertsC. review a book on cloningD. protest against movies about cloningBIn 1822 Gregor Mendel was born on a farm in Austria. His father found that Mendel was interested in plants. He knew that his son was clever, and he sent Mendel to high school. At that time few people attended high school, and those who did lived there. However, since his father could not give him enough money, he always felt hungry. Luckily, the other students always gave him food from their plates.Later Mendel became a monk (和尚) and continued his studies. He took care of the gardens at the temple where he and the other monks lived. He did experiments with pea(豌豆(wān dòu)) plants for eight years. He wanted to prove that parents passed features to their children. Around 1860 Mendel discovered that plants have recessive and dominant genes (隐性和显性基因).He grew a tall pea plant with a short pea plant. Every one of the first generation(培育后代) of four pea plants was tall. This meant that tall was the dominant gene. Yet in the next generation of four pea plants, one plant was veryshort. The recessive short genes it received from both of its parent plants had made it short.From these experiments, he understood: Dominant genes showed up the most often in the children. Recessive genes only showed up sometimes and only when both parents carried the gene for the features.To share his finding with others, he wrote a paper. But during his lifetime no one cared about what he had discovered. At the time of his death, he still felt very sad.Finally, his important discovery was accepted in 1990. We know that both plants and animals have genes and that genes play a major role in how we look, how we act, and whether or not we are likely to get certain diseases.50. Which of the following is the correct order of the events mentioned in the text?a. Gregor Mendel became a monk.b. Gregor Mendel went to high school.c. Gregor Mendel did lots of plant experiments.d. Gregor Mendel wrote a paper to share his discovery.A. b-c-d-aB. b-a-c-dC. a-c-b-dD. a-d-b-c51. The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. there are different kinds of pea plantsB. where pea plants should be grownC. how Mendel made his discoveryD. Mendel liked to do experiments52. Why did Mendel feel sad at the time of his death?A. His father died from disease.B. His discovery wasn't accepted.C. He couldn't continue his research.D. He couldn't realize his great dream.CThe cloning technology has aroused heated discussions among people. Some of them speak highly of the technology by claiming that it offers a way for human beings to conquer their own genetic defects.★ Others consider it as an ogre (怪物(guài wu)) who will destroy us all in the end.FOR◆Equal importance is that women who are single could have a child, using cloning instead of artificial insemination(受精). Cloning could also provide a copy of a child for a couple whose child had died.◆Another goal of cloning is to produce livestock(家禽) with ideal characters for the agricultural industry and to be able to manufacture biological products such as proteins for humans.◆Cloning could be used in various wa ys to benefit the lives of humans.◆It may provide a way for completely sterile individuals to reproduce. It may provide a way for homosexual couples to reproduce themselves. It probably will provide a valuable basic research and possible spin off technologies related to reproduction and development.◆Cloning would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transplant organs. This surely would be immensely beneficial to millions of unfortunate people who are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single(or more) organ(s).AGAINST◆Cloning would intervene with the normal cycle of life. There would be a large number of identical(一样(yīyàng)的) genes, which minimize(使减小) the chances of mutation(变异), and, in turn, evolution—the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever—changing environment.◆With genetic engineering and human cloning it is possible to use these in the arsenal(兵工厂) of ethnic cleansing(清洗) inequality in our society, which would be the beginning of many wars.◆Another argument against cloning is that it would be available only to the wealthy and therefore would increase social inequality.◆If the technology were to be so that scientists could transfer human genes into animals and vice-versa, which would heighten the danger of developing zoonoses, diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans. It could create a worldwide catastrophe that no one would be able to stop.◆Genet ic engineering will cause unseen disasters spiraling our world into chaotic darkness.◆Cloning dead loved ones will not bring them back; they may look like them, but they will have a different personality.53. The purpose of the writer writing the passage is to .A. encourage us to support the ideas of FORB. advise us to accept the ideas of AGAINSTC. tell us to understand the ideas of FOR and AGAINST correctlyD. introduce us to know both the ideas of FOR and AGAINST54. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How Many Advantages Are There?B. How Many Disadvantages Are There?C. Which Side Is Wrong?D. Which Side Are You with?55. If a single lady wants a baby but not accept artificial insemination, she might .A. think about cloning technology to copy oneB. be against having child from cloning technologyC. produce livestock with ideal charactersD. speak little of the cloning technology56. What does the underlined word "these" in the part of AGAINST refer to?A. Large number of identical genes.B. Genetic engineering and human cloning.C. Ethnic cleansing inequality in our society.D. The wealthy and therefore social inequality.57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Cloning could also produce biological products such as proteins for livestock.B. Healthy organs could be cloned to transplant into unfortunate people.C. A large number of identical genes would widen the chances of mutation.D. Genetic engineering will cause unseen disasters and light the world.DYou Are What You EatGenetic(基因(jīyīn)的) engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism. It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosomes(染色体), improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism. Unlike traditional breeding(繁殖), where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species. Wow… Did you catch that?Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered (GE) foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased. Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers.But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods.The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects. Because mostgenes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover, due to the lack of labeling, if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them.There is also a major moral question in many minds. For many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving. GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it.Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk.58. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering in that .A. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same speciesB. traditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesC. traditional breeding takes place within the same speciesD. traditional breeding is more scientific59. "The lack of labeling" in Paragraph 4 indicates .A. information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customersB. it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesC. scientists try to hide potential dangers from customersD. the US government is responsible for GE food60. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because .A. it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the worldB. there are potential dangers in producing GE foodC. we're now producing more food than beforeD. customers will benefit from GE food61. What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering?A. Welcoming.B. Disapproving.C. Unconcerned.D.
