Heart disease is the number one killer in the US and several other industrialised countries.There has been a breakthrough with human stem cells. Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs to repair or replace damaged ones. Skin for burn victims, brain cells for the brain damaged, hearts, lungs, and kidneys could be produced. By combining this technology with human cloning technology, it may be possible to produce needed organs for suffering people that will be free of rejection by their immune systems. Conditions such as Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, heart failure, and other problems can be cured if human cloning and its technology are not banned.Though current treatments for infertility (不生育) are getting a fair amount of publicity in the news, they, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. Some data shows that current infertility treatments are less than 10 percent successful. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before possible.语篇解读：本文作者从几个方面介绍了克隆人技术给人类带来了益处。1According to Dr Richard Seed, we can use cloning technology to _.Aproduce more animalsBmake people live happilyCmake people look youngerDcure people of many diseases解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段中的“to completely change the aging process”可知，Richard Seed认为克隆技术可以彻底改变变老的进程。因此推知，克隆技术可以使人们看上去更年轻。2We can learn from the passage that _.Acloning has already been used to treat heart diseaseBwe can treat a mans heart disease by cloning heartsCmost people in industrial countries suffer from heart diseaseDmore people die of heart disease than of other diseases in the US解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，心脏病是美国和其他工业化国家的头号杀手，因此在美国死于心脏病的人要比死于其他疾病的人多。3What is the main idea of the last paragraph?AWith cloning infertile couples could have children.BTreatment of infertility is not successful.CInfertile couples suffer a lot physically and mentally.DIt is difficult for couples to have more children now.解析：选A段落大意题。联系全文可知，本文的主题是人类克隆技术。最后一段点明了现在治疗不孕的成功率很低，许多夫妇饱受煎熬，最后说明了利用人类克隆技术可以使不孕的夫妇有自己的孩子，因此A项正确。4What is the authors attitude towards human cloning?ASupportive.BDoubtful.CCautious. DCurious.解析：选A推理判断题。根据文章第一句，特别是关键词benefit及第二至五段(都是讲人类克隆技术会给人类带来益处)可推知，作者对人类克隆技术持支持的态度。BMy daughter just turned nine last week. We went to the supermarket, and I offered her the best gift I could imagine: picking out anything she wanted. I expected her to pick out some clothes, a new video game, maybe even a doll. However, she insisted the only thing she wanted was a model airplane.I guess I shouldnt be surprised about her request. My daughter has grown up in a military household, the pride and joy of her father. He finds it perfectly appropriate (合适的) that, from a very early age, she has shared his love of aviation (航空学). Ill never forget my shock when he taught her to jump off the swing set in our backyard, pretending she was a pilot. I believe she was four at the time, but even then she would play pilot more than house.Yet soon stories and pictures of aircraft werent enough; she wanted to see the real thing. So my husband started taking her to the annual air show at the local military base. Most other children her age admired how fast the planes flew or how nicely they were painted, but not my daughter. She would ask. “Daddy, when are they going to upgrade (升级) the avionics system in the F22 Raptor？” or “Do you think unmanned drones (无人机) will ever be as useful as manned aircraft？” I once overheard her correcting an older gentleman who was mistaken about the planned retirement date of the F15 Eagle.Of course, my husband has big dreams for his little aviatrix. She is going to be a military pilot, graduating at the top of her class from the Naval Academy. Then shes going to design the nextgeneration fighter personally, while lecturing at Harvard about the history of fixedwing aircraft. How shes going to find time to do all of these things, Ill never know!语篇解读：作者介绍了她的女儿对航空飞行器的浓厚兴趣。5How did the author celebrate her daughters 9th birthday?AShe took her to watch an air show.BShe held a dollthemed party for her.CShe gave her a model airplane as a gift.DShe set a swing in the backyard for her.解析：选C细节理解题。由第一段的“We went to the supermarket . she insisted the only thing she wanted was a model airplane”可知，女儿九岁生日时，作者带她去超市挑选生日礼物，最后在女儿的坚持下送了她一个航模作为礼物。6How did the authors daughter feel when she played pilot at age 4?AMoved.BExcited.CShocked. DFrightened.解析：选B推理判断题。由第二段的“I believe she was four at the time, but even then she would play pilot more than house”可知，作者的女儿四岁时在秋千上玩飞行的游戏多于玩过家家，故那时她玩这种游戏特别开心兴奋。7Why did the author mention her daughters special behavior in Paragraph 3?ATo introduce her big dreams.BTo describe her happy childhood.CTo show her strong interest in aircraft.DTo compare her with other children her age.解析：选C推理判断题。第三段的首句“Yet soon stories and pictures of aircraft werent enough; she wanted to see the real thing”即本段主旨句。作者描述她的女儿有别于其他同龄人的行为表现，就是为了说明女儿对航空飞行器的浓厚兴趣。8Whats the authors attitude to her husbands plans for their daughters future?ASupportive. BDoubtful.CUncaring. DSatisfied.解析：选B推理判断题。由最后一段的“How shes going to find time to do all of these things, Ill never know”可知，作者的丈夫对女儿的未来有太多的期待，但作者却不认为女儿有足够的时间能完成他的这些梦想，故作者持怀疑的态度。.阅读七选五Clones in fictionStories featuring clones always draw me in.
