11、 found a way of cloning humansIt could be that_20_soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child to look like文章大意:本文对克隆技术的发展进行了简要叙述,并摆明各国对克隆人的禁令以及科学家们对该禁令的反对意见。当然,至于人类的克隆是否会出现我们还要拭目以待。1Aproduces Bproduce Cproducing Dproduced答案:Dproduced from any one cell“由任何单细胞产生的”,过去分词短语作后置定语。copy
12、与produce之间存在被动关系,因此应用过去分词短语作定语。2Atried Bsucceeded Cattempted Dmanaged答案:Dmanage to do sth“设法做成某事”;try to do sth“努力做某事”,但不一定成功;succeed不接to do sth;attempt to do sth“试图做某事”,但不一定成功。而本句表示已完成的一件事情,故选D项。3Ataking Bteaching Cusing Dlearning答案:Cusing cloning technology利用克隆技术。take带走;teach教;learn学会。这三个词均不符合句意。4
13、Atoo Beither Calso Das well答案:Calso表示“也”,一般放在句中;too用于肯定句的句末;either用于否定句的句末;as well用于肯定句的句末。5Areporter Bphysicist Cwriter Dartist答案:BChicago physicist芝加哥物理学家。从事其余三项所代表的职业的人都不搞科研。reporter记者;writer作家;artist画家,艺术家。6Aaroused Brose Crose up Dwas raised答案:Aaroused a lot of medias attention引起众多媒体的关注;rose是ri
14、se的过去式形式,意为“上升,上涨”;raised是raise的过去式形式,意为“抬起;引起,导致”,此处用被动形式是错的;rise up起义,升起。arouse“引起;激发”,符合句意。7Asigned Bwrote Cdrew Darrived答案:Asign an agreement签署一项协议;write“写”文字;draw画;arrive at an agreement达成协议,但D项中缺少介词at。8Aspoke Btold Creported Dannounced答案:Dthe President announced“总统宣布”。speak,tell和report后都不加冒号。9
15、Athe Ba Can D/答案:Bintroduce a law实施一项法律。此处是第一次提到该法律,因此用不定冠词修饰,表示泛指。10Aallowed Bagreed Cpassed Dapproved答案:C“通过”法律应用pass,而非allow(允许)、agree(同意)或approve(赞成,同意)。11Ain Bfor Cbeyond Dabout答案:Dbe negative about sth否定某事。12Aforbidden Bpermitting Cbanning Dreferring答案:Cbanning human cloning(禁止克隆人)为现在分词短语作后置定语
16、,修饰laws。forbidden形式不对,故排除。13Aseriously Bpersonally Cpartly Dpossibly答案:A由上句可知此处表示“任何禁止克隆人的打算都是严重错误的”。seriously“严重地”,符合语境。personally个人地;partly部分地;possibly可能地。14Adespite of BthoughCalthough Din spite of答案:Din spite of和despite为介词(短语),后接名词、代词或动名词,而though和although是连词,后接从句。15Apossible BimpossibleClikely D
17、probably答案:B it is impossible to do sth做某事是不可能的;it is likely to do sth做某事是可能的。16Alead to Bstick toCcome to Dadd up to答案:Alead to a nightmare world导致一个可怕的世界的产生。stick to坚持;come to谈到;add up to总共达,都不符合句意。17Aas much as Bas many asCas well as Das good as答案:Cas well as有“还有”的意思,符合句意。as much/many as像一样多;as g
18、ood as和一样好。18Apuzzle BworryCwander Dwonder答案:Dwonder后可接表示疑问意义的从句。puzzle使迷惑;worry担忧;wander闲逛,这三个词都不接表示疑问意义的从句。19AUpon BWithinCOut of DAt答案:Bthe next five to ten years“随后的五到十年”是时间段,只能用within,表示在某个范围之内。20Amuch BprettyCtoo Dmore答案:Bpretty“相当地”,含有very之意。much一般不修饰副词; too”太”;more是比较级。阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(
19、A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。Market research has been done to see if people would accept meat from either cloned animals or the offspring(后代)of clonesA study done by the International Food Information Council in 2007 asked US respondents (调查对象) if they would buy meat,milk,and eggs from cloned animalsOf the resp

26、ls is illegalBcloned foods should be labelledCcloned foods should be forbiddenDcloned foods have health problems答案:B推理判断题。根据Barbara Mikulski所说的“如果人们食用了克隆食品出了健康问题的话,如果没有标签这些食物将无法被召回”可推断他认为应该对克隆食品进行标签,因此判断B项正确。4Whats the best title for the passage?AWhy do people in the US not like to accept cloned foo
27、d?BDifferences between cloned and noncloned meatCWhat are the attitudes towards cloned food in the US?DVarious responses to a study on cloned food答案:C主旨大意题。该文主要讲述了美国人对待克隆食品的态度以及存在的种种争议,因此C项作为标题最合适。七选五根据短文内容,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。WeChat,known as Weixin in China,is a mobile phone text and
