AThere are three reasons why I don’t think that we are ready for cloning. Firstly, we don’t know exactly what the consequences of cloning would be. For example, if scientists cloned a man, they might know what he would look like, but they wouldn’t know his quality. What would happen if scientists cloned another Hitler or others like him? Do you really think we would survive if this became a reality?Secondly, cloning raises many ethical questions. Look back at the cloned man that has been presented and ask yourself these questions：“Do you really think that he would be a man？”“Who would be responsible for him？”“Do you think he should have the same rights as we have？”I don’t think that we can answer these questions now.Lastly, we don’t know exactly what the meaning of life is. In my opinion, creating life is the duty of nature, and we must not interfere (干预) with that task because we can’t understand the extremely complicated relationships among lives that are defined by nature. Usually these relationships are extremely complex. Sometimes, they seem to be so untouchable that they cannot be changed. From my point of view, we have to look at the natural environment around us. We can see that an ecosystem (生态系统) is made up of a lot of different kinds of life, and each life has its own function within the system. If we disturb that, I think it could lead to our extinction (灭绝)．Even though cloning may have a lot of benefits for humans, I think we should stop cloning because we do not understand it and can’t control all of its effects. Maybe in the future, we will be ready to do it, but that time has not yet arrived.语篇解读：本文主要从三个方面讲述了我们为什么不要克隆。

Unit 5课时跟踪练(一) Warming Up & Reading — Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解AA new course on world heritage and its conservation offers a good opportunity for the young people to learn about the legacy (遗产) of humanity and gain a sense of responsibility to help protect the planet we live on.According to a world heritage education programme jointlylaunched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific andCultural Organization (UNESCO) and China's Ministry ofEducation, the course will first be offered at several schoolsin Beijing before being included as a mandatory course (必修课) for high school students nationwide.The new course covers photos, slide shows and documentaries on the magnificence of the world heritage sites. The class aims to tell children what world heritage is and why and how it should be protected. A total of 177 nations, including China, have signed the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Listed are 754 sites all over the world, of which 29 are in China — the third most after Spain and Italy. Currently, protection of the country's cultural and natural resources leaves much to be desired. Education is undoubtedly the best way to cultivate people's sense for protecting cultural and natural resources.The introduction of such a programme in Chinese classrooms will certainly help our young people realize the significance of common heritage, learning about world heritage sites, the history and traditions of different cultures, ecology, and the importance of protecting biological and cultural diversity.More importantly, it will help cultivate a sense of responsibility in the minds of young participants. This is critical in protecting these cultural and natural legacies, as well as our living environment and the limited resources for sustainable development.A．The world heritage education programme was jointly launched by the United States and China's Ministry of Education.B．The course will first be offered at all the schools in Beijing.C．Protection of the country's cultural and natural resources has been perfect thanks to people's efforts.D．China ranks high among the countries with 29 sites listed on the list.解析：选D 细节理解题。
