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. Genesmake each individual plant or animal different and unique. But a clonehas the same genes as the original organism (有机体;生物体).Cloning is not new. Plants have been cloned for centuries. New plantsare often grown from cuttings 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 (未受精卵) was taken from a sheep.(2)The egg nucleus (细胞核) was removed.(3)A cell was taken from the udder (动物乳房) of a pregnant (怀孕的) sheep. It was “starved”, so that it stopped growing.(4) The two cells were combined into one and 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?Choose the best answers according to the text.1. Dolly is a sheep _____ because she is grown from a cell of an adult female sheep.A. that has not her fatherB. that has not her motherC. that has no parentsD. that has not any tail2. Tell 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.3. From the fourth paragraph we can know that _____.A. a tadpole is the early stage of a grown-up frogB. a tadpole is a frog without a tailC. a tadpole is a pool where frogs can liveD. a tadpole is a clone of an adult mammal4. What 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.高二英语译林牛津版必修5 Unit 3 Science versus nature 同步练习参考答案一、1. benefit 2. immoral 3. consequences 4. superhuman5. for sale6. using up7. comment on8. advances9. morality 10. on a personal note 11. be put in place二、1-5 CBDDB 6-10 BCAAA 11-15 ABCAB三、1-4 CDAC解析:本文是篇科普时文。

The idea started in the mind of a man,Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot offarmers.As he tells it,the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night,when_she_had_to_start_her_day_at_five_the_next_morning.So,in 2005,Jerry Miller launched his website. “You don’t have to be a farmer to be on ‘FarmersOnly ’,but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s heartland.〞You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free,but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 member. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.Some farmers have also found love through a group,Singles in Agriculture,which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986.It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance,but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website,“〞,says there are more than 1,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.1.Jerry Miller started “FarmersOnly 〞in order to ________.A.help farmers B.support traditionsC.understand farmers D.represent farmers2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?A.She dislikes city lifestyle.B.She prefers late night coffee.C.Country life isn’t well understood.D.It’s tiring to get up early.3.The author of the text intends to ________.A.advertise for the two websitesB.introduce two websitesC.encourage social activitiesD.urge readers to help farmers4.It can be inferred from the text that ________.

Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men and women?For many children it means starting schoolwork very young,and going out with friends and ot her interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day,even at the weekend,when most of his or her friends are playing.Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot be given,it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes,transport to competitions,special equipment,etc. Can all be very expensive?Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers,however,believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top,and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.1. This article is most probably taken from ____________.A. a letterB. an advertisementC. a personal diaryD. a newspaper article2. According to the passage,parents whose children show a special interest in sport ____________.A. feel uncertain if they should let their children train to be sports men or women.B. try to get financial support from the government for their children’s training.C.

By starting young,you won’t have much time for your schoolwork.B. Early training may damage your musclesC. Most children may become professional sports men after a long period of training.D. It’s very expensive for parents to support their child’s development in sports.4. The underlined phrase “ to take a second place〞means____________.A. to repeat the activities some other dayB. to become less importantC. of all the things,they are the most importantD. to happen again5. ____________can become the best players after many years of training.A.

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luth er King’s famous speech—"I Have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for awell-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .A.be smarter than youB. know what you are talking aboutC.do better than youD. notice your mistakes2.You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because .A. you find the way of speech-making more importantB. you don’t fully understand the speechC. you don’t know what the speak er plans to sayD. your attention is on the content3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that .A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeC.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad。

Today, rivers are controlled for many reasons, primarily to maintain reliable water supplies for daily, agricultural and industrial needs, for power generation, for navigation (航行), and to prevent flooding.River control is achieved by channelization, a term that covers a range of river engineering works, including widening, deepening, straightening and stabilization of banks, and by the construction of dams.An important period of channelization took place in Europe during the 19th century, when many large rivers were straightened and their beds deepened. One of the most dramatically changed was the Tisza River, a branch of the Danube that flows through Hungary. The controlling of the Tisza, designed to reduce flooding and make land for agriculture, included cutting off more than 100 meanders (河曲), shortening the river's length by nearly 400 kilometers.One of the most common ways in which people control rivers is by damming them. The past 50 years or so has seen an increase in dam construction worldwide, and at the beginning of the 21st century, there were about 800,000 dams globally, some towering more than 200 meters in height.Despite their successes, many dams also cause significant environmental changes that prove harmful. Some particularly deep reservoirs (水库) can bring aboutearthquakes due to the stress on their bottom rocks caused by huge volumes of water. Downstream of a reservoir, the river is certainly influenced in many ways: water volume, speed and quality are all affected, leading to changes in the landscape and among plants and animals.Ⅲ.写作(25 min.)(原创)你的室友最近总是心烦睡不着觉,你帮助了他(她)共同对付。

While science fiction often pictures AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can include anything from Google's search algorithms to IBM's Watson to autonomous(自动的) weapons.Over the last several decades, AI has become common in our lives. We plan trips using GPS systems that rely on AI to find the best route to take. AI algorithms detect faces as we take pictureswith our phones and recognize the faces of individual people when we post those pictures to Facebook. Internet search engines rely on an AI subsystem. On any day, AI provides hundreds of millions of people with search results, traffic predictions, and recommendations about books and movies. Several companies are working on cars that can drive themselves.Beyond the influences in our daily lives, AI techniques are playing a major role in science and medicine. For example, AI methods have been employed recently to discover interactions between medicines that put patients at risk for serious side effects.However, when considering how AI might become a risk, experts think two possibilities:The AI is programmed to do something destructive: Autonomous weapons are artificial intelligence systems that are programmed to kill. They will have no human guidance after being programmed. They can select and fire upon targets without any human intervention. So they are a fundamental challenge to the protection of civilians(平民). If in the hands of the wrong person, these weapons could easily cause mass deaths.The AI is programmed to do something beneficial, but it develops a destructive method for achieving its goal: This can happen whenever we don't have the same goals as AI. If you ask an intelligent car to take you to the airport as fast as possible, it might get you there chased by helicopters and covered in vomit, doing not what you wanted but exactly what you asked for.Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, and many other big names in science and technology have recently expressed concern about the risks posed by AI. AI has the potential to become more intelligent than any human, and we have no sure way of predicting how it will behave. People now control the planet, not because we're the strongest, fastest or biggest, but because we're the smartest. If we're no longer the smartest, are we assured to remain in control?一、 1. reliable 2. consequences 3. majority 4. judgement5. morality二、 1. translate 2. to be typed; to type 3. to be doing4. to have attacked5. to solve三、1~5CACDC1.
