CCloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or
25、 plant. It happens in plants when gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones. It also happens in animals when twins identical in sex and appearance are produced from the same original egg. The fact is that these are both examples of natural clones. Cloning has two major uses. First
26、ly, gardeners use it all the time to produce commercial quantities of plants. Secondly, it is valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. Cloning plants is straightforward while cloning animals is very complicated. It is a difficult task to undertake. Many attempt
27、s to clone mammals failed. But at last the determination and patience of the scientists paid off in 1996 with a breakthrough the cloning of Dolly the sheep.The procedure works like this: 1 Female sheep A provides an egg cell. 2 The nucleus is removed from the egg cell. 3 The egg cell is ready for a
28、new nucleus. 4 Female sheep B provides a somatic cell for the clone. The nucleus of this cell contains all the genes needed to produce a new sheep. 5 The nucleus is taken out of the somatic cell. 6 The nucleus from sheep B and the egg cell from sheep A are joined using electricity. 7 The cell divide
29、s and grows into an embryo. 8 The embryo is put into female sheep C, who becomes the carrier of the clone. 9 The lamb is the clone of the donated cell from sheep B which provided the nucleus. On the one hand, the whole scientific world followed the progress of the first successful clone, Dolly the s
30、heep. The fact that she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the disturbing news that Dolly had become seriously ill. Cloning scientists were cast down to find that Dollys illnesses were more appropriate to a much older animal. Altogether Dolly lived six and a half years, half
31、the length of the life of the original sheep. Sadly the same arbitrary fate affected other species, such as cloned mice. The questions that concerned all scientists were: “Would this be a major difficulty for all cloned animals? Would it happen forever? Could it be solved if corrections were made in
32、 their research procedure?” On the other hand, Dollys appearance raised a storm of objections and had a great impact on the media and public imagination. It became controversial. It suddenly opened everybodys eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses and even to produce huma
33、n beings. Although at present human egg cells and embryos needed for cloning research are difficult to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders hoping to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Governments became nervous and more conservative. Some
34、began to reform their legal systems and forbade research into human cloning, but other countries like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide. However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or harm us and where it is leadi
35、ng us.31. Which one is the best statement about the uses of cloning?A. To produce commercial quantities of plants. B. To research on new plant species.C. To do medical research on animals. D. All of the above.32. It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that a cloned animal _.A. is usually as healthy
36、 as the original one. B. usually lives as long as the original one.C. usually lives longer than the original one. D. usually lives shorter than the original one.33. Which is correct about the cloning of Dolly the sheep?A. Female sheep A is more important than the female sheep B and C.B. Female sheep
37、 C provides a somatic cell.C. The joined cell divides and grows straight into the lamb.D. Female sheep As egg cell whose nucleus is taken out is ready for the nucleus of a somatic cell from female sheep B.34. Why is cloning controversial in some countries?A. Because it is a difficult task to underta
38、ke in some countries.B. Because it is difficult to get the human eggs and embryos.C. Cloning is controversial in some countries for moral and religious reasons.D. Because some countries forbade research into cloning.35. What do you think is the writers point of view?A. Impartial B. Positive C. Negat

Choice is the ability to choose some actions from a set of things to achieve a goal. 36 The reason is that it turns us from dumb(笨的) animals into artists. Choice becomes
40、the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesnt come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility(责任). 37 it is enjoyment.Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. Its the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices. 38 We often need
41、 to check where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what action will I take now to make myself realize my goals? 39 And our life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which bus
42、station to go on. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions, the more pleasure we will get.Life is like a chess game. 40 All chess lovers realize that it isnt necessary
43、 to win to enjoy the game. Make the best moves(一步) you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life. A.Why is choice so great? B. The pleasure (快乐) is in the playing. C. In fact, we have to make choices every day. D. Choice is powerful and helpful. E. Because making right choices is more i
44、mportant than working hard. F. Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals. G. But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return(回报).第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When I was five years, I w
