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. Sle ep Phones won’t give you the highest quality sound in the world, but if you prefer to fall asleep to music, they’re far more comfortable than normal headphones. While they’re a bit expensive, they might be perfect for you. There’s also a wireless version (版本) if you prefer.Onion GogglesIf cutting onion brings on the waterworks no matter what you try, it’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 basically elastic (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 Ca lifornia’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 plan et. 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 con cerned 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 they’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 groups on Arbor Day, but 90 percent of them will die,” David Milarch said. “You can’t plant tr ees 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。

最新人教版选修8高中英语过关习题BOOK 8 Unit 2 Cloning及答案

人教版高中英语达标习题Ⅰ.阅读理解(2012·广东潮州月考)The hole in the Earth's ozone layer (臭氧层)has until now protected Antarctica from the worst effects of global warming.But scientists have warned that as the hole closes up in the next few decades,temperatures on the continent could rise by around 3℃ on average,with melting ice contributing to a global sea level increase of up to 1.4 metres.In the past decades the western Antarctic has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed,but the other parts of the continent have,paradoxically,been cooling,resulting in a 10% increase in ice in the seas around the region.This is because the hole in the ozone layer has increased cold winds in Antarctica,making much of the continent surface colder than usual.But now that the gasses that cause the ozone hole have been banned,scientists expect the hole to repair itself within the next 50 to 60 years.By then the cooling effect will have faded out and the Antarctic will face the full impact of global warming.This means an increase in average ai r temperatures of around 3℃ and a reduction in sea ice by around a third.The biggest threat to the continent comes from warming seas.Robert Johnson,a scientist who monitors Antarctica ice sheets,said,“The ice sheets in Antarctica are hundreds of metres thick.But once warm ocean waters start flowing underneath,the ice will begin thinning and could break up very quickly.” Thinning ice sheets cause ice to break away from the continent and to melt even faster.Escaping ice from western Antarctica has already resulted in a 10% rise in global sea level in recent decades.Johnson believes that international action to reduce global warmingis required immediately or it may be too late.“Everything is connected—Antarctica may be a long way away but it is an important part of the Earth's system,” said Johnson.“It contains 90% of the world's ice,70% of the world's fresh water and that is enough,if it melts completely,to raise sea levels by 63 metres.”Even in a worse­case situation scientists don't expect the ice to entirely disappear,but predict that,because of the melting ice sheets,average sea level rise will be around 1.4 metres higher by the end of the century.【语篇解读】本文主要描述了由于臭氧层的破坏,南极洲冰层正处于加速融化的危险中。

单元质量检测(二)(时间:100分钟满分:120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(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A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

AResearch advances over the past decade have told us that, with a little work, we humans can clone just anything we want, from frogs to monkeys and probably even ourselves! So, we can clone things, but why would we want to? Let's look at some of the reasons people give to justify cloning.1.Cloning for medical purposesOf all the reasons, cloning for medical purposes has the most potential to benefit a large number of people. Cloning technologies might reduce the time needed to make a transgenic animal model, and the result would be a population of genetically identical animals for study.2.Cloning stem cells for researchStem cells are the body's building blocks which might be used to repair damaged or diseased organs and tissues. Researchers are currently looking on cloning as a way to create genetically defined human stem cells for research and medical purposes.3.Reviving endangered or extinct speciesThe dinosaur was an extinct species. Could we really clone dinosaurs? In theory? Yes. What would you need to do this? A well-preserved source of DNA from the extinct dinosaur, and a closely related species, currently living, that could serve as a surrogate (代用的) mother. In reality? Probably not. It's not likely that dinosaur DNA could survive undamaged for such a long time. However, scientists have tried to clone species that became extinct more recently, using DNA from well-preserved tissue samples.4.Cloning humans?Why would anyone want to clone humans? Some reasons are to help infertile_couples have children or to replace a deceased child. However, there are the risks involved. For example, how sure can we be that a cloned baby will be healthy or what might go wrong?语篇解读:人们认为通过克隆可以复制一切生物,并提出了几个理由来支持克隆,如出于医疗目的的克隆、克隆干细胞进行研究、拯救濒危的或灭绝的物种。

单元综合测评Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AIn between juggling (努力对付) twelve NFL fantasy teams and spending time with my family in Michigan, I've been working hard to get into really good shape. I played soccer and I was always competitive. But when I started playing poker (扑克) full-time, I got lazy and became much less active. Now I'm getting older and realize that I should be taking my health more seriously.I'm running again. I usually start my workouts with a really fast mile, and then jog another two or three miles at a slower pace. After the run, I do some body weight exercises like push­ups and crunches.While I really enjoy my workouts, eating healthy food has been a real challenge.I cannot cook at all and, to be honest, my diet is pretty bad. I eat too much takeout food and dine out almost every day. In order to counteract all that junk food, I decided to try a juice cleanse (果汁排毒法). I picked up a special blender called the Nutri-bullet and about$200 worth of organic produce. The goal was to eat nothing but fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds for four to five days.The juices themselves were not that bad, especially because I started throwing things into the blender and hoped it turned edible. I was skeptical about how green juice would taste, but discovered that if you combine your greens with fruit, the vegetable taste isn't strong. If you mix spinach with some strawberries and a banana, the juice may look green but it has a strawberry­banana taste.It's important for me to have a balanced life. I'm a person who likes making changes. I'll go on a poker binge (狂欢), then a travel binge, then I'll take a break when I don't do much of either. Not only will it keep me from getting burned out, it will help me appreciate my work even more. Living a healthier lifestyle can bring more balance to my life and hopefully it will start to benefit me at the table as well.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文,话题是日常生活类。

AI've loved books for as long as I can remember. When I was a child and my mother finished washing the evening dishes, she'd read books to me like Curious George and Little Black Sambo in her quiet voice. I always enjoyed listening to the stories, but I wanted to learn to read so that I could read to myself.When I was in first grade I read Go Dog Go by myself. One weekend morning while my parents were still asleep, I got up and read the whole book. When my parents woke up, I told them what I'd done. First they felt quite astounded and couldn't believe their ears, but they soon felt proud.Finally, I got a job in a bookstore and started buying books at a 30% discount (折扣). I kept every book I bought and whenever I looked at the books on my book shelf I felt a lot of excitement and energy. I loved all my books and I began collecting a lot of books. I have a home office with twelve book shelves and two large book cases. My office was filled with books. Every shelf was filled with books and the built-in desk that was completely covered by books that ran across the whole surface of the desk. I even had books lying on the floor.There was one big problem with this. My wife wanted to use the built-in desk and she repeatedly asked me to create space for her. I finally decided to clear out some of the books. In fact, I removed about half thebooks I owned. Not only was the desk completely clear, some book shelves were only half full. To my surprise, I felt a new sense of peace and freedom.语篇解读本文是记叙文。
