8、onsequences of cloning would be.For example,if scientists cloned a man,they might know what he would look like,but they wouldnt know his quality.What would happen if scientists cloned another Hitler or others like him?Do you really think we would survive if this became a reality?Secondly,cloning rai
9、ses many ethical questions.Look back at the cloned man that has been presented and ask yourself these questions:“Do you really think that he would be a man?”“Who would be responsible for him?”“Do you think he should have the same rights as we have?”I dont think that we can answer these questions now
10、.Lastly,we dont know exactly what the meaning of life is.In my opinion,creating life is the duty of nature,and we must not interfere(干预) with that task because we cant understand the extremely complicated relationships among lives that are defined by nature.Usually these relationships are extremely
11、complex.Sometimes,they seem to be so untouchable that they cannot be changed.From my point of view,we have to look at the natural environment around us.We can see that an ecosystem (生态系统) is made up of a lot of different kinds of life,and each life has its own function within the system.If we distur
12、b that,I think it could lead to our extinction(灭绝).Even though cloning may have a lot of benefits for humans,I think we should stop cloning because we do not understand it and cant control all of its effects.Maybe in the future,we will be ready to do it,but that time has not yet arrived.1.According
13、to the author,we are not ready for cloning because .A.two or more persons may have the same appearanceB.scientists are not sure about the personalities of the cloned peopleC.people may not function properly if there are more cloned human beingsD.cloning has not been permitted by the government答案:B解析
14、:细节理解题。从第一段“For example,if scientists cloned a man,they might know what he would look like,but they wouldnt know his quality.”可知答案。2.In the third argument the author fears that we will if we create life at will.A.change the natural environment around usB.disturb the ecosystem in natureC.suffer from
15、overpopulationD.accelerate the extinction of animals答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“We can see that an ecosystem is made up of a lot of different kinds of life,and each life has its own function within the system.If we disturb that,I think it could lead to our extinction.”可知,B项正确。3.According to the passage,w
16、hats the authors attitude towards cloning?A.Positive.B.Critical.C.Indifferent.D.Supportive.答案:B解析:推理判断题。根据全文内容可知,作者并不赞成克隆,对此持批评态度。4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.To Clone or NotB.Why Should We Stop Cloning?C.Scientific Research on CloningD.The Advantages and Disadv
17、antages of Cloning答案:B解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,全文主要从三个方面讲述了我们为什么不要克隆。BGeorge Eberhardt turned 107 last month,and scientists would love to know how he and other older folks like him made it that far.So hes going to hand over some of his DNA.Hes one of 100 centenarians(百岁老人)taking part in a project that examin
18、es some of the oldest citizens with one of the newest scientific tools:whole-genome sequencing(全基因组测试),the deciphering(诠释) of a persons complete collection of DNA.Scientists think DNA from very old healthy people could offer clues to how they have lived so long.And that could one day lead to medicin
19、es to help the rest of us stay disease-free longer.“Its very hard to get to 105 without some genetic advantages,”says Dr Thomas Perls,a geriatrics(老年医学) expert at Boston University.Dr Perls is helping find centenarians for the Archon Genomics X Prize competition.The X Prize Foundation,best known for
20、 a spaceflight competition,is offering $10 million in prize money to researchers who decipher the complete DNA code from 100 people older than 100.The contest will be judged on accuracy(精确性),completeness and the speed and cost of sequencing.Mr Eberhardt played and taught tennis until he was 94 and s
21、ays hes participating in the X Prize project because hes interested in science and technology.Its not clear his genes will reveal much.Nobody else in his extended family reached 100,and he thinks only a couple reached 90,he said in a telephone interview.So why does he think he lived so long?He attri
22、butes it to 70 years of marriage to his wife,Marie.She in turn refers to his “intense interest in so many things” over a lifetime,from building radios as a child to pursuing a career in electronics research.But scientists believe theres more to it,and they want to use genome sequencing to investigat
23、e.Dr Richard Cawthon of the University of Utah,who is seeking longevity genes by other means,says it may turn up genetic features that protect against multiple diseases or that slow the process of aging in general.5.What does the underlined word “attributes” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Separates.
24、B.Owes.C.Gathers.D.Compares.答案:B解析:词义猜测题。attributes所在的句子的意思:他把此归功于他和妻子玛丽的70年的婚姻。attribute.to.=owe.to.“把归功于”。6. will not be judged by the Archon Genomics X Prize competition.A.How many genes are studiedB.How precise the sequencing isC.How fast the research is finishedD.The number of researchers答案:D解析
25、:细节理解题。根据第四段的“.from 100 people older than 100.The contest will be judged on accuracy,completeness and the speed and cost of sequencing.”可知,参加这次比赛的人数是100人,被测的内容涉及测试的精确性、完整性、速度和费用。由此可知A、B、C三项都涉及了。故选D项。7.Which of the following is TRUE about Mr Eberhardt?A.He doesnt have any genetic advantages.B.Most of
26、 his family have been long-lived.C.His genes dont reveal much about why he has lived so long.D.He enjoyed doing electronics research.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第六段的“She in turn refers to his intense interest in so many things over a lifetime,from building radios as a child to pursuing a career in electronics re
