（测试时间：60分钟     满分：100分）

Ⅰ.

A

However, the idea of cloning humans still remains. While many people feel that cloning human tissue, as for organs for transplant might be valuable, many others feel that cloning a whole human is unethical (不道德的)．

From a moral standpoint, much has to do with how some reproductive clones are made.  Many believe that an embryo, even when simply fertilized sperm (精子) and egg is a human and thus should not be destroyed. Experimenta-tion of embryos to produce clones often results in embryo death.  Further some feel that cloned embryos might be used specifically to harvest body parts and then killed.

Some further feel that the harvesting of stem cells from an embryo is also wrong, or that creating embryos for the purpose of harvesting stem cells is unethical. Others ar-gue that stem cell research may point the way toward cu-ring diseases for which there is currently no cure. It should be noted, however, that fewer people object to the idea of cloning a body part than cloning a human.

Others are concerned about the cloning of extinct or endangered animals. In fact Michael Crichton's novel Ju-rassic Park dealt with this theme. Especially since actual dinosaur DNA has been found recently, in enough abun-dance to clone, some scientists are concerned about the en-vironmental impact that could result from reproducing a long dead species.

In some countries, stem cell research has been stopped, when it involves cloning human embryos. Other scientists research on the possibility of finding stem cells elsewhere, as in the umbilical cord(脐带) blood of newbo-rns. It is suspected that some countries may be attempting to clone a whole human, but have not yet achieved this.

Though cloning is much in the news, it is still an im-perfect science with more failures than successes at pres-ent. This suggests that scientists may not fully understand all the mechanisms(机制) involved in creating an exact copy of another organism. With further research, such mechanisms may be understood and clear the way toward making clones. Yet, doing so is likely to result in continued argument.

1．A suitable title for this passage would be ________.

A．Ways of Cloning              B．Cloning — Yes or No?

C．Advantages of Cloning         D．Disadvantages of Cloning

2．The second, third and fourth paragraph mainly deal with ________.

A．arguments about cloning      B．how to clone

  C．the procedure of cloning      D．why to clone

3．The underlined word “extinct” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.

A．existing        B．dying out       C．current       D．protective

4．The tone of the passage can be best described as ________.

A．supportive        B．contradictory      C．subjective    D．objective

【答案】

B

With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save these in a dangerous situation. That's a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called "Noah's Ark".

Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of these animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M's College of Veterinary, Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete. "The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, but the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem," Kraemer believes. "They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort," adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

"They are trying to do something that's never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark. We're both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. The cooperation between us is very much needed."

5. The final aim of "Noah's Ark" project is to_______.       .

A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas  

B. save endangered animals from dying out

C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study  

D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

6. According to Professor Kraemer, ________.

A. the long time lasting cloning research could be successful.

B. the eggs transfers immediately result in having a baby.

C. the lack of nuclear transfer could be a major problem to have new pandas.

D. if species should die out, basic building blocks would heal them.

7. The best title for the passage may be_________.

A. China's Success in Pandas Cloning

B. Helping Ways to Avoid Extinction

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas 

D. The Practice in Noah's Ark

8. From the passage we know that_______.

A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a panda

B. scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbit

C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

D. about two thousand species are to die out in a century

【答案】

5. B。本题为细节题。由第二段内容可知，“诺亚方舟”项目的目的在于收集濒临灭绝的动物的卵子、胚胎、精子和DNA，并用液体氮将它们储存起来。如果某些物种灭绝了，将会有足够的基础建设材料再造这些物种。最后一段第二句 “We're both trying to save animals that face extinction.”又一次提到了这个项目的目的，即拯救濒临灭绝的物种。故答案为B。

7. C。本文为新闻报导类文章，第一段点出了文章的中心，中国在努力克隆濒临灭绝的大熊猫，从第二段起具体介绍Duane Kraemer对中国科学家克隆大熊猫的做法的评价，并与美国科学家正在从事的“诺亚方舟” 项目做了对比。文章最后一段表达了他们对中国同行所做的工作的高度评价。故最佳标题为C “探索克隆大熊猫的可能性”。

8. D。本题为细节题。由第三段第一句话 “It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years.”可知，D选项正确。

A选项明显错误；由第四段第一句话 “This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit.”可知，B选项错误。由最后一段最后一句话 “The cooperation between us is very much needed.” 可知，Professor Kraemer是说有必要合作，而不是将会与中国科学家一起致力于克隆研究， C选项与此表达不符，故不选。

C

The day my husband fell to his death，it started to snow，just like any November day．His body，when I found it，was lightly covered with snow．It snowed almost every day for the next four months，while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up．One morning，I shuffled downstairs and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk．I dropped to my knees，crawled through the living room．And back up stairs so those good people would not see me．I was embarrassed．My first thought was，how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair let alone shovel someone’s walk．

Before John’s death，I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors，I defined myself by my competence and independence．So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy? How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snowfall?

Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn't easy．Friends cooked forme and l cried because I couldn't even help them set the table．“I'm not usually this lazy，”I wept．Finally，my friend Kathy sat down with me and said,"Mary，cooking for you is not a burden. I love you and I want to do it．It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you．”

Over and over，I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days．One very wise man told me，“You are not doing nothing．Being fully open to your sorrow may be the hardest work you will everdo．”   

I am not the person I once was，but in many ways I have changed for the better．My heart is now filled with thanks for people around me．I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole．I believe there is strength，for sure，in accepting a dark period of our life.   

12．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The writer’s friend was unwilling to cook for her．  

B．The writer had been busy with her life before．   

C．The writer recovered from her sorrow quickly with his friend‘s help．

D．The day her husband died，it was snowing heavily．

13．We can describe the writer before her husband died as the following except ___________．

A．hard-working        B．independent       C．smart         D. capable

14．The underlined word“shuffled”in Paragraph 1 probably means ___________．

A．stepped steadily         B. walked slowly

C．ran swiftly      D．fell sadly

15．We can infer from the passage that ____________.

A. the writer found her husband immediately he fell off the roof

B．the writer became strong-willed immediately after John's death

C．the people around the writer were friendly and supported her

D．before John’s death，the writer never asked others for help

14.B。解析：词义猜测题 一天上午，我慢慢地走下楼，惊奇地看到一辆扫雪机在清理我的汽车道，并且一位弓着背的妇女在清理我的走道。

15.C。解析：判断推理题 从文章可知，丈夫去世后，作者获得了朋友，周围人的帮助和支持。

Ⅱ. 阅读填空

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

  16____You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how.

Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.__17__ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

Make good use of your time in class. __18__ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes.Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day,  read that material. __19___ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

__   20   __ You will probably discover them after you have tried these.

A．There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

B．Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.

C．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.

D．No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

E. Maybe you are an average student.

F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.

G. This will help you understand the next class. 

【答案】

19: G 根据前一句If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day,  read that material.说明预习的重要性，预习以后会让我们的学习更高效。故G项内容符合上下文。

20: A 根据下句You will probably discover them after you have tried these.说明除了文章中的这些方法以外，还有另外的方式。故A项符合上下文。

点评：本文是关于有效学习的多个建议。在答题中，应首先略读各小题，了解一下大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。特别注意文章上下文的串联结构。然后再细读题目，选出正确答案。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。
