其次部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning has now become a reality. The possibility of cloning humans is a serious issue(争辩点) and raises ethical(伦理的) questions. In my opinion，cloning is useful for research into cures for disease. However, I think that it needs to be approached with caution(当心；谨慎) and carefully monitored by governments.
Research into cloning and stern (严格的) cell production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incurable illnesses. While this would improve the quality of life for many, not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future. This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the effects of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that it is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world. Furthermore, it is thought that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications (并发症) resulting from malformed (畸形的) organs.
There are also serious ethical issues in danger. In essence (在本质上), those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play God and to interfere (干扰) with natural process. Producing embryos (胚胎) for the purpose of harvesting stern cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced. It may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life.
In conclusion, I do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue. This is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life, but also because not enough is known about the effects. However, I do think that if there is a way to produce stern cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk, then governments should continue to support it.
21．What is the writer's general opinion on cloning?
A. It is useful in every area of research.
B. It needs to be carefully controlled by governments.
C. It is useful for research into cures for disease if it is controlled.
D. It is only useful for research into cures for disease.
答案与解析 C 作者认为“In my opinion, cloning is useful for research into cures for disease. However, I think it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments.”
22．The underlined word “approach” in the first paragraph means “________”．
A. reach a high level or amount
B. move forward
C. come near
D. deal with
答案与解析 C 从“However, ... with caution ...”可推想出。
23．The writer's main reason against cloning is that________.
A. not enough is known about the effects of cloning
B. a cloned human would be likely to die of malformed organs
C. cloning has negative physical and psychological effects on clones
D. it would affect the quality of life for many
答案与解析 A 依据“This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the effects of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that it is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world.”
24．In the last paragraph, the writer thinks governments should________.
A. not put human life at risk
B. support all forms of research into stern cell production
C. not support any form of research into stern cell production
D. support research into stern cell production harmless to human life
答案与解析 D 从文中最终一句可知。
B
British scientists have done something that many people thought was impossible: they created the first clone of an adult mammal (哺乳动物). The clone, named Dolly, is a sevenmonthold sheep, grown from a cell of an adult female sheep.
What is a clone? A clone is a copy — a genetic copy. Genes are the instructions for life. They tell a cell what to do and how to do it. Genes make each individual plant or animal different and unique. But a clone has the same genes as the original organism(生物体)．
Cloning is not new. Plants have been cloned for centuries. New plants are often grown from cutting from another plant. Also, plants like pineapples, strawberries and carnations (康乃馨) are sometimes cloned. One benefit of cloning is that we can make many copies of the best and healthiest plants.
It has been much more difficult to clone animals. Frogs have been cloned, but they died as tadpoles, never living long enough to become adult frogs. Mice, sheep and cattle have been cloned from embryos (胚胎). But Dolly is the first healthy clone of an adult mammal. How did they do it?
(1) An unfertilized egg was taken from a sheep.
(2) The egg nucleus (细胞核) was removed.
(3) A cell was taken from the udder (乳房) of a pregnant (怀孕的) sheep. It was “starved”， so that it stopped growing.
(4) The two cells were combined into one then implanted in a third sheep, where it grew normally.
(5) The clone was born. It was genetically identical to the pregnant sheep in step (3)．
This sounds much easier than it actually was. To end up with one clone, the scientists started with 277 udder cells. And they needed in a way to make the egg cell accept a new nucleus. They did that by starving the cell in step (3)．
It may soon be possible to clone many types of animals. Will we also be able to clone human organs, or even whole human beings? We have only begun to think about the morality of cloning technology. Maybe the question to ask is not whether we can clone humans, but instead, should we clone humans?
25．Dolly is a sheep________ because she is grown from a cell of an adult female sheep.
A. that has not her father
B. that has not her mother
C. that has no parents
D. that has not any tail
答案与解析 C 从文中可以看出，多莉是从一只成年羊的细胞中克隆出来的，所以它没有父母，而是那只羊的一个翻版。
26．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Only plants can be cloned.
B. Only strawberries and carnations can sometimes be cloned.
C. Animals and plants have quite a long history of cloning.
D. Genes can tell a cell what to do and how to do it during cloning.
答案与解析 D 由其次段第三句可推断出答案。第三段叙述植物可以克隆，第四段讲动物也可以克隆，虽然植物已有几个世纪的克隆历史，但并没有提到动物的克隆历史。
27．From the fourth paragraph we can know that________.
A. a tadpole is the early stage of a grownup frog
B. a tadpole is a frog without a tail
C. a tadpole is a kind of animal
D. a tadpole is a clone of an adult mammal
答案与解析 A 由文章第四段其次句推断，蝌蚪是青蛙的早期形态，故A项正确。
28．Which is the RIGHT order in the process of the clone of Dolly?
a. Taking an unfertilized egg from an adult female sheep.
b. Removing the egg's nucleus.
c. Combining the two cells into one and then implanting it in a third sheep.
d. Taking a cell from the udder of a pregnant sheep.
A. a, b, c, d B. c, a, b, d
C. a, b, d, c D. d, c, b, a
答案与解析 C 由文章第四段后的步骤挨次可以推断出。
C
The incident took place on Sunday, the 25th of June. On that particular day, a south wind had been gusting (劲吹) on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern, so we carried on with our daily work, not suspecting what was about to happen.
The storm gave us very little warning. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon (地平线) so suddenly that we were taken by surprise. Even then, we were not really worried, as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then, just as the clouds had moved inland, the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm.
Instantly, we were busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we could do about the crops. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older brother called his sheepdog and began driving
