11、e in some cases.One possibility is generating replacement for a dying relative.All such possibilities,however,raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete individual,because he or she would likely suffer from limitations and expectations based on the familys knowledge of
12、 the genetic“twin”Those expectations might be false,because human personality is only partly determined by genes.The clone of an extrovert(性格外向的人) could have a quite different way of behavior.Clones of athletes,movie stars,or scientists might well choose different careers because of chance events in
13、 early life.Some people have also pointed out that couples in which one member is infertile (不生育) might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner.But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a copy of just one of them.Because other methods are avai
14、lable for the treatment of all known types of infertility,the traditional choice seems more appropriate.None of the suggested uses of cloning for making copies of existing people is ethically acceptable to my way of thinking,because they are not in the interests of the resulting child.It should go w
15、ithout saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.In spite of this,it seems clear that cloning from cultured (人工培育的) cells will offer important medical opportunities.Predictions about new technologies are often wrong;societal attit
16、udes change;unexpected developments occur.Time will tell.But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.26Towards cloning an existing person,what concern does the author show?AThe clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.BThe clone created is eth

22、ahead of her.She had crushing injuries to her arm and shoulder,and her elbow was dislocated in three places,leaving it permanently bent.Although it took my mom a long time to physically recover from the accident,it was only a short time before my moms positive spirit returned.Throughout her journey
23、of recovery,my mother rarely complained.I could see the pain in her eyes during physical therapy,but never heard her question why this had happened to her.In fact,I remember one “role reversal” where we both just had to laugh.Mother had lost a lot of weight during her hospital stay,so I bought her s
24、ome new clothes.I had to dress her at first,but she challenged herself every day.Finally,when she was able to get dressed on her own,she looked at me in the mirror and started laughing.While she appreciated the clothes I had bought,she really hated the styles I had chosen for her and couldnt wait to
25、 go shopping on her own.I started laughing too;she had struggled for months to put on these clothes that she didnt even like!It reminded me of when I was in kindergarten and my mother made me wear dresses when I just wanted to wear pants.It was a funny role reversal for both of us and I understood h

31、n their farm on New Years Eve.The calf(小牛),named Ben,was created through genetic engineering.Ben was the second panda cow born on Jessens farm,but was a surprise,Jessen said that he was expecting a black calf.This rare breed of panda cow gets its nickname from its similarity to a panda bear.Its whit
32、e face and black fur around its eyes are extremely pandalike.There is a white belt circle around the middle part of its black body.Baby Ben has a black mark on its forehead.Its thick newborn coat also increases the similarity to a panda.Ben is expected to grow four feet tall and weigh close to 1,000
33、 pounds,like its father.The breed is not only extremely rare,but is also only ten years old.The first mini panda cow,Precious,was born on April 27,2000,on the Happy Mountain Miniature Cattle Farm,in Covington,Washington.It took 44 years of genetic engineering by Richard Gradwohl,although the farmer
34、claims the new cow was actually an accident.Preciouss father was an American Beltie bull,named Rebel.The mother was a small Happy Mountain cow,named Sarah.Gradwohl is the author of The Beginners Guide to Owning Your Own Miniature Cattle Business guidebook,a 24part article series.These miniatures are

40、more developed at birth than the human baby.Almost from the moment it is born,the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother.During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large,warm,and soft object in its environment,particularly if that object
41、 also gives it milk.After a week or so,however,the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother”the real mother or the mothersubstitute(母亲替代物)During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心理的) thing that a monkey mother has t
42、o give to its baby.The Harlows,a couple who are both psychologists,discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mothersubstitutesone covered with cloth and one made of bare wire.If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature,the little monkeys always preferred
43、 the cloth mother.However,if the wire model was heated,while the cloth model was cool,for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mothersubstitutes as their favorites.Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.Why is cloth
44、 preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact(接触) comfort seems to be the answer,and a most powerful influence it is.Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers skins,putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can.Whenever the young a
45、nimal is frightened,disturbed,or annoyed,it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body.Wire doesnt “rub” as well as does soft cloth.Prolonged (长时间的)“contact comfort”with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth
46、 or milk.According to the Harlows,the basic quality of a babys love for its mother is trust.If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother,the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be.It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball.If its cloth moth
47、er is now introduced into the playroom,the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life.After a few minutes of contact comfort,it obviously begins to feel more secure.It then climbs down from the mothersubstitute and begins to explore the toys,but often rushes back for a deep embrace(拥抱) as if
48、to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well.Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its “mother”41Psychologically,what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two we

64、“婴儿”合适。5A这项工作还没有实施,所以一切都还是“计划”,所以选A。6B克隆人的技术(technology)将类似于克隆动物的,所以选technology“技术”。7A此处指这项技术的具体实施,“包括”什么样的行为。involve“包括;包含;涉及”。8B此处指将其丈夫的基因“植入”女性的卵子,place sth.into“将某物放入;植入”。9B此处指他的工作“团队”,与第二段的a private group of scientists相呼应。10C他没有具体指出这个国家的名字。name“说出的名字”。11A此处指“负责,管理”这支工作小队。manage有“管理;控制好”之意,符合句意。
65、12A他出名了,当然是因为做成了某事,此处指他成功地帮助了一位60岁的妇女怀孕,所以选successful“成功的”。13A此处指很多人反对这个“主意”,因为这项工作还未实施,前文也都是围绕plan展开,所以不能选program。C、D两项意思明显不符。14D句意:他们说医生们不知道克隆人是否可能或安全。possible“可能的”,符合语境。careful“仔细的”;interesting“有趣的”;unable“无能的”,都与文意不符。15D句意:这是因为成功的机会太小而冒险太多。由risks可知此处选success“成功”。16rapidly17.and18.were admitted19
66、.after/afterwards20.some21.it22.had reached23.to24which25.every26C细节理解题。由第一段第三句可知,作者担心克隆人会受到错误的对待。27A细节理解题。由第一段第四、五、六句可以得出克隆人只是部分上与其原型个性相似。28B细节理解题。由第一段第四句可知,人的个性只是部分由基因决定,故选B。29B推理判断题。由第二段第四句可知,不赞同用克隆来帮助不孕夫妇;由第二段第五句可知作者坚决反对克隆人的胚胎以供器官捐献用;由第一段第三句可知,作者不赞同用克隆人来代替死去的亲人。由最后一段第一句可知培养细胞用于医学研究是作者赞同的。30D推理判断
67、题。由最后一段第二、三两句可知,作者认为克隆的意义有待研究,科学家还需要做很多探索,所以选D。语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。在一次车祸中,作者的父亲去世了,但过了两年的时间,母亲克服了很多困难并慢慢恢复过来。作者借此告诉我们:不论经历多大的困难,都应保持积极的心态并坚持下去。31D细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“While driving home late one night,my parents SUV was hit from behind by a drunk driver traveling 70 miles per hour.”可知,作者是通过描述事故现场来展开这个故事的。故答
68、案选D。32A推理判断题。根据文章第二段和第三段第一句“Although it took my mom a long time to physically recover from the accident.”可知,这里指的是作者的母亲还要经过很长的一段时间才能恢复,故答案选A。33B细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后两句“Throughout her journey of recovery,my mother rarely complained.I could see the pain in her eyes during physical therapy,but never heard her
69、 question why this had happened to her.”可知,A、C、D三项均不符合题意,故答案选B。34C词义理解题。由文中的四、五段描述可知,作者小时候被母亲强迫穿不喜欢的衣服,而现在作者强迫母亲穿她不喜欢的衣服,这是一种角色互换。同时由第四段中的“she.started laughing”和“I started laughing too”以及第五段中的“It was a funny role reversal.”可知,母亲始终保持着积极的心态并逐渐恢复。故答案选C。35D标题概括题。由全文及最后一段中的“Mom had to overcome many chall
70、enges.”可知,作者的母亲经历车祸后,花了两年的时间克服了很多困难,并逐渐恢复过来。由此说明,不论经历什么困难,都要坚持下去。故答案选D。36A细节理解题。根据第一段Jessen said that he was expecting a black calf可知Jessen本来期待会得到一头黑牛,所以“熊猫牛”的结果让他感觉有些意外。37D细节理解题。根据第二段This rare breed of panda cow gets.increases the similarity to a panda.可知小牛崽的白脸黑眼眶、身体中部的白条纹等很多地方酷似熊猫。38D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段
71、Gradwohl is the author.a 24part article series可知Gradwohl写了一本关于“迷你牛”行业的入门书,所以他对这个行业肯定很了解。39A细节理解题。根据第一段The calf,named Ben,was created through genetic engineering和第三段的It took 44 years of genetic engineering by Richard Gradwohl可知A正确。40C作者意图题。纵观全文,文章主要介绍了基因工程的一项成果“熊猫牛”,故选C。语篇解读:本文是一篇实验报告。作者通过一系列的举例旨在告诉读
72、者实验中幼猴对妈妈的依赖。41A细节理解题。根据第二段中的第一句“During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心理的)thing.”可知,出生后的前两周里,幼猴心理上最需要的是温暖,故A项正确。42D细节理解题。第三段中的第一句“Why is cloth preferable to bare wire?”是本段的主题句。整个段落解释了“为什么出生两周后的猴子更喜欢布妈妈”。根据第三段的第二句“Something that the Harlows called
73、contact(接触)comfort seems to be the answer.”可知,布妈妈接触起来更舒适,所以选D项。43C细节理解题。根据第三段中的最后一句“Prolonged(长时间的)contact comfortwith a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence.”可知,长时间与布妈妈接触会给幼猴信心。44D推理判断题。根据最后一段的叙述可知,幼猴来到陌生的环境会感到害怕,会寻找妈妈的怀抱,但是只要有了安全感,它就会开心地玩玩具,不那么在意妈妈是否在身边了。故D项正确。45B主旨大意题。通读文章可知,本文旨在告诉读
