手惰市安逸阳光实验学校课时作业37 Cloning Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015·山西忻州一中月考)Cooking food over a smoky fire is found everywhere in the world. Itis often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have woodmust spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is amuch easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. Solar cookers,or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the firstsolar oven in 1767. Today, people are using solar cookers in manycountries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and toheat drinking water to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cooker. Itis designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sunlight intothe box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic coveringthe top of the cooker. A box oven is effective for slow cooking of largeamounts of food.The second kind of solar oven is a panel(嵌板式) cooker. It includesseveral flat walls, or panels, which directly reflect the sun's lightonto the food. The food is inside a separate container of plastic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel cookers quickly and with very few supplies. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic(抛物线的) cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens. However, these cookers are hard to make. Th ey must be reaimed often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232 degrees Celsius. A solar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.To learn more about solar cooking, you can write to Solar Cookers International. The post al address is nineteennineteen TwentyFirst Street, Sacramento, California, ninefiveeightoneone, USA. Or you can visit the group's Internet Web site. The address is.1．How long is the first solar cookers invented?A．About 1767 year.B．More than 300 years.C．More than 250 years.D．Less than 250 years.2．In which of the following column could we find the passage?

2012江西高考英语 Cloze答案与解析【文章大意】一个假日的早上，作者偶然的早起，发现了对自己的人生有益的事——一个衣着朴素，骑着一辆不入时的自行车的老者，在自食其力，而且对自己的所做非常自豪。
这一刻，作者感觉自己羞愧了，因为他自己还没有认识到过生活的真谛。
1.【答案】B【试题解析】这里要注意Mother这个身份，，父母是允许自己的孩子不上学的假日里多睡觉的， sleep in睡个懒觉.2.【答案】C【试题解析】前面是谈自己会好好利用一下母亲的许可：睡个懒觉，后面又是在谈自己想早起，中间是明显的转折。
3.【答案】D【试题解析】此题是主题设空，从后面的作者体会可以看出是对自己的生活有用的一些东西。
区别比较各选择，本题难度不大。
4.【答案】B【试题解析】这里考察了一个自行车上的部分名称，从本句的后面back-carriage可以看出前面是在谈车子的前面部分，handle 把手。
5.【答案】D【试题解析】此题要注意前后的提示：“already”和“a dozen or more cars”,所以这里表示老人工作时间早，已经清洗了很多车子了。
6．【答案】A【考点】动词【试题解析】这里是一个固定的表示方式：cross one's `mind (of thoughts, etc) come into one's mind （指想法等）出现, 掠过:，slip one mind:忘记，其他选项明显错误。

课时作业37I .阅读理解〔2021 •烟台一中高三适应性测试〕China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, reducing the need to breed lab monkeys and paving the way for more accurate, effective and affordable animal tests for new drugs, scientists said on Thursday.By December, the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Scienceshad created two clone macaques〔4弥猴〕named “Zhong Zhong" and "Hua Hud' by nuclear transferring of somatic cells〔体名田胞〕—any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells.Tetra, a monkey born in 1999, is the world's first cloned monkey, but it was done by using a simpler method called embryo splitting〔胚胎分害U 〕; but it could only generate four cloned offspring at a time and cannot be genetically changed to suit the experimental need.Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate〔灵长类〕that shares its genetic makeup, and therefore all of its complexity, with humans.For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly and bad for the environment, and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes.By cloning monkey using somatic cells, we can massively cultivate large numbers of genetically identical offspring in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs. This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different.“Monkeys and h umans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans, “ he said. This is especially useful in testing drugs for neural 〔神经的〕diseases such as Parkinson's disease, metabolic syndrome 〔代谢综合征〕and immune system diseases,and tumors, he added.“This achievement will help China lead the world research in the international science projects related to neural mapping of primate brains , “ he said. "However, bio labs from the United Sta tes, Japan, and European countries are also very capable, and they will quickly catch up with China after the monkey cloning technology is made public , “ Sun added.“This means we have to innovate continuously and work extra hard this year to stay ahead ,“ he said.本文是一篇科普类说明文.讲述了中国在克隆技术上取得的成就一一中国成了第一个使用非生殖细胞克隆殊猴的国家.1.Which of the following is the most important factor in cloning macaques named “Zhong Zhong" and "Hua Hu* ?A.
