8、lars trying to clone a 13yearold dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this yearor perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of mans bes
9、t friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusins experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carr
10、ying Missys DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when youre dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.Even so, do
11、g cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusins phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missys mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect h
12、is privacy. Hes plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missys fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missys owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying
13、 the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusins work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart

28、lence3.intact4.versa5arisen6.samples7.absorbs8.accompanied9.powerful10.created.1.A句意:当我走进她的房间时,她正专心致志地读书。be absorbed in“专心于”;control“控制”;expose“暴露”;develop“发展”,都不符合句意。故选A。2B句意:尽管我们已认真做了准备,意想不到的困难在实验过程中出现了。rise升起;arise出现,发生;raise提高,增加,lift举起。由句意可知B项正确。3A句意:他正在网上查信息的时候,电脑系统突然瘫痪了。break down意为“出故障,坏掉”;b
29、reak out意为“(战争、灾难的)突然发生或爆发”;break up意为“分解,分裂”break in意为“强行进入”。根据句意答案应选A。4B考查非谓语动词。句子的主语是动作的承受者,应用过去分词表被动意义,排除A和C。accompany“陪伴”;attend“参加,照看”。5Bbreak down抛锚;slow down慢下来;get down记下,写下;put down扑灭。6A句意:今天早晨玛丽陪我去看医生。因此,她错过了布莱克老师的讲课。accompany sb.to someplace陪伴某人去某地;as a result因此,均为固定搭配。7Das far as is kno
30、wn意为“众所周知”。此句也可以表达为It is known that dolphins have no sense of smell.。句意:众所周知,海豚没有嗅觉。8A句意:飞机失控了,但现在我们完全控制了局势。be out of control失去控制;in control of管理,控制着。根据句意选A。9C句意:尽管这些胶囊能治愈你的病,但同时会对身体造成不良影响。cure sb.of illness治好某人的病;have an effect on对有影响。10C句意:虽然只有十几岁,但托尼能够抵制他不喜欢做的事。resist意为“抵制;抵抗”,后跟ving形式。.1.C本题考查因果
31、细节。根据题干定位到第二段末“Cloning. also dangerous”。其上文即该段倒数第二句中,威斯苏森先生指出,在猫或牛的克隆试验中,对动物卵的浪费以及许多动物的自然性流产都可以接受,但是克隆人就不行。因此可知,C是“危险”的真正含义。A中torture(折磨)一词无从推知;B项文中未提及;第三段首句虽然提到,狗的克隆有很大的商机,但不能由此推出D正确。2D本题考查事实细节。题干中the Missyplicity project指克隆一只名叫密斯的狗的项目。第一段倒数第二句指出,克隆密斯可能成功也可能失败。该段最后一句解释其原因是:狗的生殖系统似乎是现代科学中一个神秘的领域。因此D
32、为正确项。第三段首句提到,克隆狗是一个商机,能带来丰厚的科研报酬。该段第三句又提到,对于像密斯的主人这样的消费者来说,高额的花销并不是什么障碍。由此可知,B不是项目存在的问题。C属于答非所问,第三段第三句提到,密斯的主人希望匿名以保护自己的隐私。但这对项目本身并不造成任何影响。A无从推知。3D本题考查事实细节。第三段首句提到,克隆狗是能带来丰厚科研报酬的商机。下文无论是提到动物医学院频繁接到的电话,还是举出一掷千金想克隆爱犬的富人的例子都是为了说明首句的观点。因此D正确。第三段最后两句提到,密斯(狗)的克隆体与它本身存在差异之处。至于猫和牛的情况如何,文中没有涉及,排除C。A和B在文中也没有提
33、及。4B本题考查推理。文章一开始就引用专家威斯苏森的话,指出克隆人是愚蠢的尝试。第二段最后两句提到,克隆实验的低效性和危险性在克隆人中不可接受。文章末尾再次引用该专家的话,指出现在动物的研究还没成功,没有必要想到克隆人。由此可见以威斯苏森为代表的科学家对克隆人是持悲观态度的。B为正确项。第一段最后两句提到,威斯苏森和他的团队可能会在年底成功克隆出密斯,也可能再过五年都不会成功。因此狗的克隆的成功是尚未确定的事情,排除A。第一段末句提到,狗的生殖系统是现代科学中神秘的领域。“人的生殖系统”在文中没有涉及,C无从推知。文中只提到一位富人有意克隆他的狗,但没有指出富人对克隆人不感兴趣,排除D。5C本
34、题考查文中人物观点。注意题干问的是“克隆”,它包括了克隆人和克隆动物两个方面。第二段末句中,威斯苏森先生强调了克隆的低效性和危险性;文末他又指出,克隆动物的研究还没有接近成功时,更别提克隆人。因此,C概括了他对于克隆的整体态度。文章第二句出现的a stupid endeavor是威斯苏森先生对克隆人的看法,不包括克隆动物,因此排除A。B与文章末句not yet close to getting it worked out相矛盾。从第二段倒数第二句可知,威斯苏森先生对于克隆动物是默许的,并不认为克隆处于进退维谷的境地,排除D。6B推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Like any electronic
35、 device, these hightech clothes have to be powered.”可知,这种新的电子服装与其他电器的相同之处就是都需要电作为动力。7A细节理解题。根据第三段的“But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat.”可知,研究者希望将来这种服装能够利用人的体热来发电。8C推理判断题。第五段第二句中的“This handy invention”显然是指上一句中的“the shirtcummobile p
36、hone”。9B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的最后两句“The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.”可知,这种电子滑雪服(the electronic ski jacket)具有卫星定位功能。10D写作意图题。文章的第一段导入话题,第二段谈到一个名为Electrotextiles的英国公司
37、为了制造智能服装,已经发明了一种织物,然后文章逐一介绍了已经开发出的几种智能服装的特点,最后谈到了未来的新产品开发。.1.It is generally agreed that all creatures have their own rights and freedom to live.2.It was on a rainy night that her husband returned home.3His shabby clothes and dirty hair contrasted sharply with the splendid and elegant apartment.4I had just had a bath and was about to go to bed when an earthquake happened.5.The reason why he didnt take part in the camping was that his mother was ill.
