1、Cloning: Future Perfect?1 A clone is an exact copy of a plant ｏｒanimal produced from any one cell. Since Scottish scientists reported that they had managed 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 using cloning technology. A mouse has also been cloned successfully. But the debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a surprising announcement: "We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years," he told the world. 2 Seed\'s announcement provoked a lot of media attention, most of it negative. In Europe, nineteen nations have already signed an agreement banning human cloning ａｎｄ　in the US the President announced: "We will be introducing a law to ban human cloning ａｎｄ　many states in the US will have passed anti-cloning laws by the end of the year". 3 Many researchers are not so negative about cloning. They are worried that laws banning human cloning will threaten important research. In March, The New Englａｎｄ　Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken. Many researchers also believe that in spite of attempts to ban it, human cloning will have become routine by 2010 because it is impossible to stop the progress of science. 4 Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world? The public has been bombarded (轰炸) with newspaper articles, television shows ａｎｄ　films, as well as cartoons. Such information is often misleading, ａｎｄ　makes people wonder what on earth the scientists will be doing next. 5 Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning humans. It could be that pretty soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child to look like. But how would it feel to be a clone among hundreds, the anti-cloners ask Pretty cool, answer the pro-cloners (赞成克隆的人). Paragraph 2____【单选题】

A.Strong Reactions

B.Anxiety about the Future of Cloning

C.The Right to Choose

D.WhatisCloning?

E.Arguments in Favｏｒof Cloning

F.A Common Sight

正确答案:A

答案解析:文章第2段主要讲Seed的言论引起媒体激烈的反应，故选A。

2、Keeping Cut Flowers1 While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house, few people know how to keep them fｏｒas long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple fact. 2 An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. Fｏｒexample, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃ than when kept at 26℃. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care. 3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds ｏｒinsects, such as bees, fｏｒpollination (粉). After that, they quickly dry up ａｎｄ　die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen ａｎｄ　produce carbon dioxide, called respiration, generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape ａｎｄ　color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all giving things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, ａｎｄ　fｏｒflowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies. 4 How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced ａｎｄ　the cut flower will age more slowly. 5 Another vital factｏｒin keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to "drink" water that is dirty ｏｒotherwise polluted. Even when water looks ａｎｄ　smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to each liter of water. The water ａｎｄ　solution should also be replaced each day. Paragraph 3____【单选题】

A.Control of Respiration

B.Beauty of Fresh Cut Flowers

C.Role of Respiration

D.Most Important Aspect of Flower Care

E.Need fｏｒClean Water

F.Ways of Stopping Respiration

正确答案:C

答案解析:本段几乎都是在介绍呼吸的作用，从语篇中我们可以看到呼吸在花朵形成及死亡的过程中的作用，以及它对种子和能量的形成中的作用，选项C符合题意，故选C。

3、Science Fiction1 Amongst the most popular books being written today are those that are usually classified asscience fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year ａｎｄ　are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories. 2 It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme that is still often found in modern stories. 3 Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verve ａｎｄ　H. G Wells, to mention just two well known authors, have been translated into many languages. 4 Modern science fiction writers don\'t write about men from Mars ｏｒspace adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society ａｎｄ　the human mind; ｏｒin imagining future worlds that are a reflection of the world that we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones (涵义). 5 In an age where science fact frequently overtakes (超过) science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology. Books written by J.Verne are____. 【单选题】

A.concerned with the problems that we will have to solve in the future

B.reading books of science fiction

C.political implication

D.a recurrent theme

E.read worldwide

F.translated into many languages

正确答案:E

答案解析:本题答案的依据是在第3段的最后一句，文章说著名科幻小说家Jules Verne的书被翻译成了多种语言，世界上许多国家的人都能读到他的书，故选E。

4、What Do Dreams Tell Us?Why do we dream? Do dreams have meanings? These are questions which have troubled man fｏｒthousands of years. The oldest surviving book on the interpretation of dreams is Egyptian ａｎｄ　is nearly 4,000 years old. In ancient Greece, it was thought that people who were ill could be cured by telling their dreams. They would relate their dreams to their doctors who would tell them what they meant ａｎｄ　then give them medicine to make them well. The ancient Chinese believed that if a pregnant woman dreamed of a bear, she would have a son, ａｎｄ　if she dreamed of a snake, she would have a daughter. There are many stories about dreams foretelling (预言) the future.We certainly do not now believe that dreams foretell the future. Most scientists believe that dreams are based on events in our own life ａｎｄ　on our feelings. The events are usually very recent, mostly within the last two days. Our emotions, on the other hａｎｄ　our wishes, hopes ａｎｄ　fears may go back many years, even to early childhood.In a dream, events are altered. A dream may contain parts of many real-life events. Most importantly, something that cannot be shown directly may be shown indirectly. Fｏｒexample, you might dream of driving a large car. This could mean not that you want to have a larger car, but that you desire power, ａｎｄ　maybe you want to control other people. Again, you may dream that you are an actｏｒin a play. The play is about to start, but you have completely forgot your lines. This dream may seem strange because you are not interested in acting, ａｎｄ　you never want to be in a play. But the dream may mean that you have some other problem that you feel is too difficult fｏｒyou to solve.Psychologists believe that dreams may be helpful to us. Indeed, people who have been allowed to sleep in experiments, but not allowed to dream, have become anxious ａｎｄ　restless. ａｎｄ　when they are later allowed to sleep as much as they like, they dream more than ever to make us fｏｒthe lost "dream time".The ancient Greeks believed that their ______ could be cured by telling their dreams.【单选题】

A.power

B.quiet ａｎｄ　happy

C.events

D.experiments

E.diseases

F.worried ａｎｄ　nervous

正确答案:E

答案解析:根据题干线索词the ancient Greeks定位原文至第一段第五句：In ancient Greece, it was thought that people who were ill could be cured by telling their dreams. 题干对该句进行了同义改写，由此推断，所需添加成分即为画线部分。而E选项diseases是对该部分的同义改写，故E为正确答案。
