What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame，they may be famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous，but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂)for change.They have a vision from the mountain top.They have the skill and the charm to move the masses.They create new possibilities.Without Gandhi，India might still be part of the British Empire.Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King，Jr.，we might still have segregated(隔离的)buses，restaurants，and parks.It may be possible for large­scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities，but the pace of change would be slow，the vision uncertain，and the committee meetings endless.一．根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________二．根据所读短文，选择最佳选项1．Although heroes may come from different cultures，they ________. A．generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB．probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC．are often influenced by previous generationsD．all unknowingly attract a large number of fans2．According to the passage，heroes are compared to high­voltage transformers inthat ________.A．they have a vision from the mountaintopB．they have warm feelings and emotionsC．they can serve as concrete(具体的)examples of noble principlesD．they can make people feel stronger and more confident3．Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ___________________.A．they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB．their performances do not improve their fans morallyC．their primary concern is their own financial interestsD．they are not clear about the principles they should follow4．Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ___________.A．are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB．can move the masses with the skill and the charmC．are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD．can provide an answer to the problems of their people5．The author concludes that historical changes would ___________________________. A．be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB．not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC．take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleD．produce leaders with attractive personalitiesBI work as an aid on a school bus. There is a guy Tyrell who is almost completely blind. Tyrell was all smiling for about a week. He's normally a quite happy kid, but I could tell this was different from the normally silly smile I see. Wednesday morning my curiosity finally got me to ask him why.He told me that he was going to ride his new 3-wheeled bike when he got home. He couldn't control his happiness. When he got off, he gave me a smile. A smile will forever be in my heart.The next morning, I noticed that his eyes were quite puffy (浮肿的). So were his mother's. I asked them why. She explained that was due to many hours of tears the night before. She said that Tyrell got to ride the bike once before he had to come in for dinner and was promised he could ride it again afterward. He left it in the back yard where they thought it would be safe.However, after dinner, the bike was nowhere to be found. They immediately broke into tears because they knew the thing that he treasured so much was stolen. She called her close friend to find some comfort.The friend called her up later and said that she forgot to tell Tyrell's mom that she had something for them and asked if it would be OK to bring it over. She, of course, was still crying from the thought that another bike would be impossible to afford and said yes. The friend brought over a huge box, in which there was a brand new bike for Tyrell.When they noticed what was in the box, they thanked their angel and cried even harder, not of sadness but of joy, and thankfulness.6. Why did the writer stress the guy's smile repeatedly in the first two paragraphs?A. His smile gave the writer a deep impression.B. The writer liked his happy smile very much.C. It set off how serious the loss of bike caused.D. The smile showed the happy ending of the story.7. Tyrell's mom cried so sadly at the lost bike because ____.A. her son wouldn't ride the bike any moreB. her family couldn't afford another bikeC. she felt very sad for the lost bikeD. she had just bought the bike for her son8. We can conclude from this story that ____.A. there are good people out thereB. offering someone helps is better than stealing from himC. the loss of the bike puts the family into a sad situationD. one can obtain happiness from helping othersCGoing to college has been such a new experience for me. Everything is different from when I was in high school. One thing I've noticed is that I haven't been focusing on my coursework like I planned.I thought I would spend most of my college life studying. But since I've been in college, about 60 percent of my time has been devoted to social life, while only 40 percent of my time has been devoted to my studies. I never knew I would make so many friends in such a short time.It's been so overwhelming (无法抵抗的)! I'm not saying that making friends is bad, but I'm starting to realize how much socializing has cut down on the time I should have spent on studying.Needless to say, that has to be changed.I've realized that I really don't want to spend an extra year or two here just because I slacked off as a freshman. So the first thing I'm going to do is to cut down on the amount of time I spend socializing. I will also have to say goodbye to a good part of the activities I like to attend.It's really difficult to cut these things out of my life, but I have to choose: I can have a full-time social life and fail college, or I can learn to balance my time between friends and studying and keep good grades. I think I'll stick to that second option!I may be a little strict on myself, but I'm here to get an education, not to learn how to socialize more! I want to have fun at college, but at the same time, I want to get a good education and have a bright future!9. What did the writer realize about his first year at college?A. He doesn't work as hard as in high school.B. Teachers don't care about him any more.C. He could make quite a lot of friends.D. He could spend much time on study.10. The writer makes a decision that he will ____.A. devote himself to his study rather than making friendsB. say good-bye to all his college activitiesC. cut down all his social life to have a good educationD. try not only to study well but also to have fun at college11. The underlined phrase “slack off” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to “____”.A. do one's bestB. spare no effortC. have a good timeD. make less effort12. We can infer from the passage that the writer will ____ at college.A. spend more time on studyB. make a lot of friendsC. take more activitiesD. cut down his studying timeDAfter a couple has had their first child, to their disappointment they became infertile and couldn't have more children. Cloning would enable such a couple to have a second child, perhaps a younger twin to the child they already have. Many couples have difficulty having children, and sometimes it is impossible for couples to have children because they are infertile. Cloning would allow these couples to have children.It is hard to tell someone that they cannot use cloning to have children when no other possible ways to have children are available. This is one reason why it is difficult to decide whether cloning is moral or not. The following are some of the reasons why cloning should be allowed.Through cloning, research can progress. We possibly can learn more about cell. We may develop technology to allow easier genetic testing and fixing problems such as spinal cord injuries, cancer, and many more.Cloning organs for organ transplants (移植) is one of the major practical reasons that cloning should be allowed. There is always a high demand for organs. Some argue for the cloning of humans to create extra body parts. Others talk of just wanting to clone an organ to replace a faulty organ.Rejuvenation (恢复青春) is also a key argument for advocates (提倡) of cloning. Some scientists believe that injecting cloned healthy heart cells into damaged heart tissue will lead to healing of the heart. By combining the technology for cloning and the technology for growing human stem cells, conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and some other ageing disease may be curable. The possibilities are endless and may be left undiscovered if human cloning is forbidden.13. The underlined word “infertile” in Para. 1 means “____”.A. unable to have childrenB. too poor to grow cropsC. poor in pregnant knowledgeD. unable to afford to bring up children14. How many reasons does the writer give in this passage about why cloning shouldbe allowed?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Cloning babies for infertile couples is moral.B. Through cloning, research work in cells can make great progress.C. Cloning cells can make some diseases concerning ageing curable.D. Cloning technology may help improve medical technology.16. From the passage, we can know the writer's attitude toward human cloning is ____.A. negativeB. supportiveC. uninterestedD. opposingEBARCELONA (Reuters) —“Galactic Suite”, the first hotel planned in space, expects to open for business in 2012 and would allow guests to travel around the world in 80 minutes.Its architects say the space hotel will be the most expensive in the galaxy, costing $4 million for a three-day stay.During that time guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and use Velcro suits to crawl (爬) around their pod (分离舱) rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.Company director Xavier Claramunt says the three-bedroom hotel's joined up pod structure, which makes it look like a model of molecules, was based on the fact that each pod room had to fit inside a rocket to be taken into space.“It's the bathrooms in zero gravity that are the biggest challenge,” says Claramunt. “How to provide enough space for more private activities of the guests is not easy.”But they may have solved the issue of how to take a shower in weightlessness — the guests will enter a spa room in which bubbles of water will float around.When guests are not admiring the view from the windows of their pod rooms'， they will take part in scientific experiments on space travel.“There is fear associated with going into space,” said Claramunt. “That's why the shuttle rocket will remain fixed to the space hotel for the duration of the guests' stay, so they know they can get home again.”“But,” says Claramunt, “I'm hopeful that the impact of seeing the earth from a distance will stimulate (激发) the guests' urge to value and protect our planet.”17. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. “Galactic Suite”: the first hotel planned in spaceB. Fly me to the moon: space hotel sees 2012 openingC. Fly to the moon: a greatest dream for humansD. Building a space hotel: a dream or a reality?18. Which of the following is NOT what guests can do in “Galactic Suite”?A. Watching the sunrise.B. Taking a weightless shower.C. Doing scientific experiments.D. Walking in space.19. Suppose we will travel to space, the following will be the problems we must solve EXCEPT ____.A. weightlessnessB. fearC. pollutionD. money20. The writer's writing this passage is to ____.A. prove space travel is possibleB. tell us a bright dream of going to spaceC. explain some problems existing in space travelD. report a space hotel to be completed by 2012IV 单词拼写1. The role of the news m_________ informing public opinion is of great importance.2. The small town looks e__________ as it did when it was built 200 years ago.3.

Unit 2 CloningⅠ.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2。

5分,满分25分）AEven at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.“I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford！" Richard used to boast.“And you'll be sorry you knew me，” George would reply “because I'll be the best lawyer in the town！”George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money.Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street.It was hard to make money from books， which made the competition between them worse.Then Richard married a mysterious girl。

The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast-but Richard never came back。

The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found.He must have drowned。

Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George。

But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival。

Federation International Association，has been played 25.________ four years since 1930.Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)AUp to now，some scientists have suggested that cloning existing people might be ethically(伦理地) acceptable 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 family's knowledge of 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 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 available 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 without 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 attitudes change；unexpected developments occur.Time will tell.But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.26．Towards cloning an existing person，what concern does the author show?A．The clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.B．The clone created is ethically unacceptable.C．The clone created will be mistreated.D．The clone created will have one defect or another.27．From the text we know that a clone will________.A．be partly similar in personality to the person it is created fromB．share the same characteristics with the person it is created fromC．choose the same career as the person it is created fromD．behave in the same way as the person it is created from28．According to the passage，which of the following is right?A．One's personality is determined by neither their genes nor the environment they live in.B．One's personality is determined by both their genes and the environment they live in.C．One's personality is determined by their genes.D．One's personality is determined by the environment they live in.29．In the author's view，which of the following uses of cloning is reasonable?A．To help childless couples to have a baby.B．To culture cells for medical purpose.C．To develop tissue donors.D．To replace a lost relative.30．What is the author's attitude towards cloning technology?A．It should wait till people's views change.B．It should be condemned.C．It was unethical from the very beginning.D．It has medical potential for scientists to explore.BMy mom's entire life changed in the matter of a few seconds.While driving home late one night，my parents' SUV was hit from behind by a drunk driver traveling 70 miles per hour.Dad was killed instantly.Mom was thrown from the SUV and people found her on the side of the road.Once I saw my mom in the hospital，I knew she had a long road 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 mom's positive spirit returned.Throughout her journey 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.M other had lost a lot of weight during her hospital stay，so I bought her some new clothes.I had to dress her at first，but she challenged herself every day.Finally，when shewas 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 couldn't wait to go shopping on her own.I started laughing too；she had struggled for months to put on these clothes that she didn't 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 how she felt.It took my mom two long years to gain back her strength and limited flexibility.Those few years were a traumatic time for our entire family.Mom had to overcome many challenges.But she found that strength of will and a sense of humor can get you through the toughest times，even when you don't think you have anything to smile about.31．The author presented the story by ________.A．asking drivers to pay attention while drivingB．reminding readers not to drive too fastC．explaining the result of driving after drinkingD．describing the scene of the accident32．By saying “a long road ahead of her”，the author meant ________.A．it would take her mother a long time to recoverB．her mother could continue to live for a long timeC．her mother needed to walk every day to get betterD．her mother would pay a lot for the treatment33．While recovering，her mother ________ .A．showed no pain during physical therapyB．kept her spirits up all the timeC．went into a deep depressionD．always asked why it happened to her34．The example of “role reversal” is used to prove ________.A．her mother was particular about dressingB．her mother behaved like a girl in the kindergartenC．her mother could keep a positive attitudeD．her mother had an eye for beautiful clothes35．The best title for the passage may be________.A．Remain Clam When Death Drawing NearB．Keep Your Head Up in Case of TroubleC．Show Real Courage in Front of DangerD．Persist No Matter What Your Troubles AreCColorado farmer Chris Jessen and his wife Pam became the newest owners of a “panda cow” when it was born on their farm on New Year's Eve.The calf(小牛)，named Ben，was created through genetic engineering.Ben was the second panda cow born on Jessen's 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 white 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 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 claims the new cow was actually an accident.Precious's 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 actually kept to be pets.Jessen plans to sell Ben after training.Cows are social animals that respond well to humans and some will come when their names are called.Panda cows can be petted and are popular with many people.A close relationship can be formed with them，like other more traditional pets.36．Why was Ben a surprise to Chris Jessen?A．Because Ben looked different from what he had expected.B．Because Ben was born on New Year's Eve.C．Because Ben was created through genetic engineering.D．Because Ben was the second panda cow born on his farm.37．Why did the newborn get such a nickname?A．Because its newborn coat is soft and thick.B．Because it has a black mark on its forehead.C．Because it has a white face and black eyes.D．Because it looks like a panda in many ways.38．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A．Cows cannot understand humans' instructions very well.B．Ben will be kept as a pet by Jessen.C．Panda cows are too big to be petted.D．Gradwohl knows how to manage miniature cattle business well.39．Which of the following is a similarity between Precious and Ben?A．They were both created through genetic engineering.B．They are both four feet tall.C．They belong to the same owner.D．They were born in the same state of the USA.40．What is the main purpose of this passage?A．To introduce a new technology to us.B．To show us how the panda cow is made.C．To introduce a genetic engineering invention：the panda cow.D．To introduce the Happy Mountain Miniature Cattle Farm to us.D(2013·浙江高考)The baby monkey is much 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 also gives it milk.After a week or so，however，the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses it s 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 to 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 mothersubstitutes—one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire.If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature，the little monkeys always preferred 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 switchedand spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.Why is cloth 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 animal is frightened，disturbed，or annoyed，it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body.Wire doesn't “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 or milk.According to the Harlows，the basic quality of a baby's 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 mother 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 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”．41．Psychologically，what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?A．Warmth. B．Milk.C．Contact. D．Trust.42．After the first two weeks of their life，baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is ________.A．larger in sizeB．closer to themC．less frightening and less disturbingD．more comfortable to rub against43．What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”？A．Attention. B．Softness.C．Confidence. D．Interest.44．It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure，________.A．it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toysB．it spends more time screaming to get rewardsC．it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting D．it cares less about whether its mother is still around 45．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A．give the reasons for the experimentB．present the findings of the experimentC．introduce the method of the experimentD．describe the process of the experimentⅣ.信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

a lifestyle—choice among young people across Asia、Some kidults collect toys they once played with、 Hello Kitty， Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world、 It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory、Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales、For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover、 That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book！”Kidults can be like vitamins to society、 Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society，" said Lee Sojung， professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学）、 He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids、 It could give children and their parents books， movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together、 He may be right、Tim Greenhalgh，a professor,explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up、They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them、Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood、56、 We can infer from the article that _________、A、 Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can’t give up their toysB、 Bloomsbury knows some kidults don’t want people to know that they are kidultsC、 Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD、 Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much57、 According to the author， being a kidult is good in some way except that _______、A、 it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB、 it can help kidults feel relaxedC、 it is helpful to solve some social problemsD、 it can make people loyal to one's parents58、 According to the writer, _______、A、 being a kidult is nothing wrongB、 kidults have mental problemsC、 our society is very dullD、 some people can never grow upBIf women are mercilessly exploited（剥削） year after year， they have only themselves to blame、 Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores、 Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion、Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste、 Many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn、 Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way， waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned dresses、 Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on、No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society、 Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability （耐用)、 They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort，as long as they look right、 There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes、When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion， the conclusions to be drawn are obvious、 Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers、 Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability(稳定耐用）? That is for you to decide、59、 Designers and big stores always make money_________、A、 by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB、 because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC、 by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothingD、 because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing60、 To the writer， the fact that women change their old—fashioned dresses is seen as ___________、A、 a waste of moneyB、 a waste of timeC、 an expression of tasteD、 an expression of creativity61、 New fashions in clothing are created for ___________、A、 the commercial exploitation of womenB、 the women's strength of characterC、 basic qualities of inconstancy and instabilityD、 an important contribution to society62、 By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" ( Line One to Line Two，Paragraph Four)， the writer means that ___________、A、 women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB、 women are better able to put up with discomfortC、 men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD、 men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionCWhile football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判） because they cannot see clearly what has happened， a small German company is quietly pleased、For Cairos Technologies， mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy、 The company has developed a tiny chip（芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line， by being able to discover its exact location on the field、 The world football organization， FIFA，has shown interest in the technology、 It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany、”We’ve been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under—17 FIFA Cup in Peru，” said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company、”The technology has performed well, and we’re pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year、"The chip only weighs 12 grams， and is placed in the center of the football、 It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field、 The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time， it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored、 The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air、 Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive、 Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports、FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year’s World Cup、63、 Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________、A、 football fans are angry with refereesB、 their new product can satisfy football fansC、 their new product will have a good marketD、 they can sell a lot of football in the future64、 In the first sentence in Paragraph 2，”、、、 mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy” means ___________、A、 Carlos Technologies can’t afford the high price for advertising their productB、 Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisementC、 Carios Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their productD、 Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies’new product65、 The underlined word "feedback” probably means ___________、A、 information given back by a userB、 advice given by someoneC、 supplying food to customersD、 food given back by consumers66、 The new product has drawn attention from some _________、A、 famous peopleB、 refereesC、 big companiesD、 countriesDLondon—-A morning train rides away, across the channel、 English kids discuss theLiverpool's football team in a Paris pub、Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London、In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris，in A Tale of Two Cities、 These days, it might be A tale of One City、As there are few jobs at home over recent years， perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel、 With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours、 The European Union freed them from immigration and customs、Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish、 But London feels more full of life， and more fun until the pubs shut down、”For me， the difference is that London is real, alive，” said Trevor Wheeler，a financial expert、Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer， agrees、”I am French， but I'll stay in London,’' she said、There is, of course， the other view、 Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago、”I think people laugh more in Paris，" she said、”Both cities have changed beyond recognition，" said Larry Collins， an author and sometimes a Londoner、Like most people who know both cities well， he finds the two now fit together comfortably、"I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s、 Things are so much more ordered, and life is better、”But certainly not cheaper、In some parts of London， rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris、Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice、Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose、”I love Paris， my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre， but life is too organized , ”she said、 "In London， you can be whoever you want、 No one cares、"67、 It can be inferred that ___________、A、 Paris and London are the two biggest cities in the worldB、 in the 19th century, Dickens told his stories in the two citiesC、 London and Paris used to be separatedD、 Liverpool is a big city in France68、 According to this passage， which of the following is TRUE?A、 People feel it difficult to find a job in Paris、B、 People can't travel to London without a passport、C、 People can travel to London without a passport、D、 People can find any job in London、69、 According to this passage we know that _________、A、 Parisians enjoy English food more than their ownB、 Londoners seldom travel to Paris on holidaysC、 both cities have their advantagesD、 young people prefer to live in London70、 Which city is better to live in according to the passage?A、 Paris、B、 London、C、 Both cities、D、 It just depends、71、 What’s the meaning of the last sentence?A、 People can do everything in London、B、 People will feel lonely in London、C、 People in London enjoy living in different ways、D、 People in London enjoy a lawless life、ENow let’s look ourselves as a species in relation to ecosystem balance、Modern scientists believe that humankind， like other animals， evolved(进化）through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey， ape) group、 Despite this similarity with other creatures, however，the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way、In other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure、 For example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs、 Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground、 Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals、 The same is true for countless other species、For humankind it is opposite、 Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability、Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything、 Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space、 No natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled、Said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance、 The result is the rapidly increasing world population, frequently referred to as the population explosion、 Further， to support our growing population, natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations, agriculture， and other human supporting activities、72、 From the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution _________、A、 humankind is very important to earlier species, such as the primate groupB、 human beings are limited by the environment while animals are notC、 human beings become more and more different from each otherD、 humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability73、 According to the passage, primate includes such animals as ________、A、 monkeys and anteatersB、 tigers and apesC、 apes and monkeysD、 monkeys and giraffes74、 According to the passage, evolution has made it possible for humans to _______、A、 increase the populationB、 resist natural offersC、 go to the moonD、 cure all diseases75、 According to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance has resulted in ________、A、 the population explosionB、 the destruction of human habitationsC、 the growth of natural ecosystemD、 the specialization of humansIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

一、阅读理解(共8小题，每小题2分，共16分）AThink about the longest elevator ride that you’ve ever taken. Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. You’ll be in space!Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but they’re something scientists have been working on for decades.Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive — about $25 million per person per flight.Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. One idea is stretching a very long cable — more than 37,000 kilometers — up to space from the earth’s equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equator orbit the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weight on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it. One way to solve this problem is to stretchthe cable from the moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting therewould then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, theelevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.So, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? Probably not for awhile.1. The first paragraph is presented by________. A. giving an example B. making a comparison C. asking questions D. analyzing causes2. Why have scientists been working on space elevators? A. To make trips to space cheaper. B. To help astronauts do research in space. C. To find a more convenient way to the moon. D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. the cable B. the equator C. an object in spaceD. a weight on the end of the cable此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号4. Which part of a magazine may the article appear in?A. Science and technology.B. Sports.C. Literature.D. Entertainment.BWithin five years, a woolly mammoth (猛犸象)will likely be cloned, according to scientists who have just recovered well-preserved bone marrow (骨髓) in a mammoth bone.Russian scientist Siemyon Grigoriev and his colleagues are now analyzing the marrow, which they obtained from the mammoth, found in Siberian soil. Grigoriev and his team, along with colleagues from Japan, have announced that they will start a joint research project aimed at recreating the enormous mammal, which went extinct around 10,000 years ago. Mammoths used to be a common sight in North America and Eurasia. Many of our distant ancestors probably had regular face-to-face encounters with the elephant-like giants.The key to cloning the woolly mammoth is to replace the nuclei of egg cells from an elephant with those extracted from the mammoth’s cells. Doing this, according to the researchers, can result in embryos with the mammoth’s DNA. That has actually been known for a while.What have been missing are the woolly mammoth’s nuclei with undam aged genes. Scientists have been on a search for such nuclei since the late 1990s. Now it sounds like the missing genes may have been found.In the course, global warming may be responsible for the breakthrough. Warmer temperatures tied to global warming have melted ground in eastern Russia that is almost always permanently frozen. As a result, researchers have found a fair number of well-preserved frozen mammoths there, including the one that produced the bone marrow.Is it such a good idea, however, to clone animals that have long been extinct? For a while there has been some discussion of a real-life Jurassic Park setup containing such animals. Introducing these beasts into existing ecosystems could be like bringing in a potentially invasive species that would try to fill some space presently held by other animals. Even if the cloned animals were contained in special parks, there could still be a risk of spreading.So if the woolly mammoth is successfully cloned sooner rather than later, we’d probably be left with more questions and arguments than answers, at least in the short term.5. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How to clone a woolly mammothB. The woolly mammoth — an ancient speciesC. The research made by Russian and Japanese scientistsD. A woolly mammoth to be cloned6. Which of the following can be the key factor in cloning a mammoth?A. To find a living mammoth in North America or Eurasia.B. To use nuclei from a mammoth’s egg cells to replace the nuclei in an elephant’s egg cells.C. To find out when and where woolly mammoths lived on the earth.D. To find out if an cient mammoths are distant ancestors of today’s elephants.7. Which of the following best describes the writer’s attitude towards the future of cloning a mammoth?A. Uncertain.B. Indifferent.C. Positive.D. Disappointed.8. From the passage, we can learn that ________.A. some other extinct species have been cloned successfullyB. the mammoth used to be a very common speciesC. the clone of mammoths should be banned by lawD. a woolly mammoth will be successfully cloned this year二、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分）Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making ____1____ exact copy of another animal or plant. Cloning plants is straightforward while cloning animals is very complicated. The process of cloning is a difficult task ____2____(undertake). Many attempts to clone mammals failed. But finally the determination and patience of the scientists paid ____3____ in 1996 with a breakthrough-the cloning of Dolly the sheep.At first the fact ____4____ she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the ____5____(disturb) news that Dolly had become seriously ill, which made cloning scientists cast down. Meanwhile, Dolly’s appearance raised a storm of ____6____(object) and had a great impact on the media and public imagination. ____7____(apparent) it became controversial. Although at present human egg cells and embryos ____8____(need)for cloning research are hard to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders ____9____(hope) to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Some countries reformed their legal systems and ____10____(forbid) research into human cloning, but others like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide.三、短文改错(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文, 请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

人教版英语选修8 Unit 2 Cloning 单元测试卷一、阅读理解1.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 seven-month-old 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 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?（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 tail（2）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 grownup frogB.a tadpole is a frog without a tailC.a tadpole is a kind of animalD.a tadpole is a clone of an adult mammal（4）Which of the following statements about Dolly is TRUE according to the passage?A.Dolly is the first clone of an animal.B.Dolly is the first clone of an adult animal.C.Dolly is the first clone of a mammal.D.Dolly is the first clone of an adult mammal.二、完形填空Since 1985, Johnny Jennings, 86, has（1）______ local churches and businesses to collect paper, which he brings to a recycling center for money.

Since Scottish scientists reported thatthey had 27 to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997, research into cloning has grown rapidly. In May 1998, scientists in Massachusetts managed to create two identical calves(牛犊) 28 cloning technology. A mouse has 29 been cloned successfully, but the debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago 30 Richard Seed made a surprising announcement. "We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years," he told the world.Seed's announcement 31 a lot of media attention. In Europe, nineteen nations have already 32 an agreement banning human cloning and in the US the President 33 : "We will be introducing 34 law to ban human cloning and many states in the US will have 35 anti-cloning laws by the end of the year."Many researchers are not so negative 36 cloning. They are worried that laws 37 human cloning will threaten important research. In March, the New England Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans 38 mistaken. Many researchers also believe that 39 attempts to ban it, human cloning will have become routine by 2021 because it is 40 to stop the progress of science.Is there a reason to fear that cloning will 41 a nightmare world The public has been bombarded(轰炸) with newspaper articles, television shows and films, 42 cartoons.

Johnson pretty much have me convinced that human cloning is quite possible and is a future certainty. Kurpinski and Johnson are both bioengineering experts; unlike similar scientists you have seen in the movies, they both have a sense of humor. What surprises me is that Kurpinski and Johnson are able to take something as complicated as DNA and make it understandable. The book How to Defeat Your Own Clone teaches us what is now known as DNA-encoded, how that happens, and why people with similar DNA don't look or act the same. The book not only helps us get a basic understanding of what DNA and its purpose are, but also explains cloning and stem cell (干细胞) research. It occurs to me that a lot of people who are against stem cell research don't know what they are protesting about.The authors provide a history of cloning, as well as information about stem cells.The real fun starts when the authors attack various myths about cloning. Obviously, too many people have been watching too many bad movies and television programs. Remember they're just fictional stories. If, somehow, scientists manage to clone you. Twenty years from now your clone isn't going to kill you. Among the myths explored and exploded are that a clone will know everything you know and will act as you do, that heads which are cut off can be kept alive, and that a clone has no belly button (肚脐). Many of the myths are ridiculous but many people believe them.Kurpinski and Johnson also detail some bio-improvements "that really work". You see, genes can be controlled to help you sleep better and become smarter, healthier, and taller. Well... not exactly you, but future generations.If you do wind up in a battle with your own clone, who will be considerably younger than you, remember that it is not you and that it doesn't know what you know.46. Many bioengineering experts in the movies are .A. humorousB. wealthyC. seriousD. crazy47. We can learn from the passage that biotechnology .A. has been banned in many countries around the worldB. is being used to improve one's intelligence right nowC. can help improve the physical condition of future generationsD. is sure to cure any disease in the near future48. According to the passage, a clone of you .A. will want to kill youB. knows whatever you knowC. has no belly buttonD. will be younger than you49. The passage was written mainly to .A. predict the future of cloningB. introduce two bioengineering expertsC. review a book on cloningD. protest against movies about cloningBIn 1822 Gregor Mendel was born on a farm in Austria. His father found that Mendel was interested in plants. He knew that his son was clever, and he sent Mendel to high school. At that time few people attended high school, and those who did lived there. However, since his father could not give him enough money, he always felt hungry. Luckily, the other students always gave him food from their plates.Later Mendel became a monk (与尚) and continued his studies. He took care of the gardens at the temple where he and the other monks lived. He did experiments with pea(豌豆) plants for eight years. He wanted to prove that parents passed features to their children. Around 1860 Mendel discovered that plants have recessive and dominant genes (隐性与显性基因).He grew a tall pea plant with a short pea plant. Every one of the first generation(培育后代) of four pea plants was tall. This meant that tall was the dominant gene. Yet in the next generation of four pea plants, one plant was very short. The recessive short genes it received from both of its parent plants had made it short.From these experiments, he understood: Dominant genes showed up the most often in the children. Recessive genes only showed up sometimes and only when both parents carried the gene for the features.To share his finding with others, he wrote a paper. But during his lifetime no one cared about what he had discovered. At the time of his death, he still felt very sad.Finally, his important discovery was accepted in 1990. We know that both plants and animals have genes and that genes play a major role in how we look, how we act, and whether or not we are likely to get certain diseases.50. Which of the following is the correct order of the events mentioned in the texta. Gregor Mendel became a monk.b. Gregor Mendel went to high school.c. Gregor Mendel did lots of plant experiments.d. Gregor Mendel wrote a paper to share his discovery.A. b-c-d-aB. b-a-c-dC. a-c-b-dD. a-d-b-c51. The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. there are different kinds of pea plantsB. where pea plants should be grownC. how Mendel made his discoveryD. Mendel liked to do experiments52. Why did Mendel feel sad at the time of his deathA. His father died from disease.B. His discovery wasn't accepted.C. He couldn't continue his research.D. He couldn't realize his great dream.CThe cloning technology has aroused heated discussions among people. Some of them speak highly of the technology by claiming that it offers a way for human beings to conquer their own genetic defects.★ Others consider it as an ogre (怪物) who will destroy us all in the end.FOR◆Equal importance is that women who are single could have a child, using cloning instead of artificial insemination(受精). Cloning could also provide a copy of a child for a couple whose child had died.◆Another goal of cloning is to produce livestock(家禽) with ideal characters for the agricultural industry and to be able to manufacture biological products such as proteins for humans.◆Cloning could be used in various ways to benefit the lives of humans.◆It may provide a way for completely sterile individuals to reproduce. It may provide a way for homosexual couples to reproduce themselves. It probably will provide a valuable basic research and possible spin off technologies related to reproduction and development.◆Cloning would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transplant organs. This surely would be immensely beneficial to millions of unfortunate people who are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single(or more) organ(s).AGAINST◆Cloning would intervene with the normal cycle of life. There would be a large number of identical(一样) genes, which minimize(使减小) the chances of mutation(变异), and, in turn, evolution—the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever—changing environment.◆With genetic engineering and human cloning it is possible to use these in the arsenal(兵工厂) of ethnic cleansing(清洗) inequality in our society, which would be the beginning of many wars.◆Another argument against cloning is that it would be available only to the wealthy and therefore would increase social inequality.◆If the tech nology were to be so that scientists could transfer human genes into animals and vice-versa, which would heighten the danger of developing zoonoses, diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans. It could create a worldwide catastrophe that no one would be able to stop.◆Genetic engineering will cause unseen disasters spiraling our world into chaotic darkness.◆Cloning dead loved ones will not bring them back; they may look like them, but they will have a different personality.53. The purpose of the writer writing the passage is to .A. encourage us to support the ideas of FORB. advise us to accept the ideas of AGAINSTC. tell us to understand the ideas of FOR and AGAINST correctlyD. introduce us to know both the ideas of FOR and AGAINST54. Which of the following would be the best title for the passageA. How Many Advantages Are ThereB. How Many Disadvantages Are ThereC. Which Side Is WrongD. Which Side Are You with55. If a single lady wants a baby but not accept artificial insemination, she might .A. think about cloning technology to copy oneB. be against having child from cloning technologyC. produce livestock with ideal charactersD. speak little of the cloning technology56. What does the underlined word "these" in the part of AGAINST refer toA. Large number of identical genes.B. Genetic engineering and human cloning.C. Ethnic cleansing inequality in our society.D. The wealthy and therefore social inequality.57. Which of the following is true according to the passageA. Cloning could also produce biological products such as proteins for livestock.B. Healthy organs could be cloned to transplant into unfortunate people.C. A large number of identical genes would widen the chances of mutation.D. Genetic engineering will cause unseen disasters and light the world.DYou Are What You EatGenetic(基因) engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism. It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosomes(染色体), improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism. Unlike traditional breeding(繁殖), where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineeringcan insert desired ones into organisms of different species. Wow… Did you catch thatGenetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered (GE) foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased. Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers.But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods.The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects. Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover, due to the lack of labeling, if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them.There is also a major moral question in many minds. For many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary. We arecurrently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving. GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it.Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk.58. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering in that .A. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same speciesB. traditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesC. traditional breeding takes place within the same speciesD. traditional breeding is more scientific59. "The lack of labeling" in Paragraph 4 indicates .A. information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customersB. it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesC. scientists try to hide potential dangers from customersD. the US government is responsible for GE food60. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because .A. it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the worldB. there are potential dangers in producing GE foodC. we're now producing more food than beforeD. customers will benefit from GE food61. What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineeringA. Welcoming.B. Disapproving.C. Unconcerned.D. Optimistic.答案一、单词拼写(根据中文提示拼写单词)1. procedure2. owed3. merely/only4. altogether5. condition6. compulsory7. media8. resisting二、单词拼写(单句首字母填空)9. bound10. adores11. vain12. bother13. struck14. objected15. retires三、单项选择16.
