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 Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and some other ageing disease may be curable. The possibilities are endless and may be left undiscovered if human cloning is forbidden.36. The underlined word “infertile” in Para. 1 means “_”.A. unable to have children B. too poor to grow cropsC. poor in pregnant knowledge D. unable to afford to bring up children37. How many reasons does the writer give in this passage about why cloning should be allowed?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.38. 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.39. We might infer from the passage that _.A. cloning has not only bad but good effect on humansB. human cloning will be allowed in near futureC. human cloning will be forbidden in the futureD. cloning can help solve many medical problems 40. From the passage, we can know the writers attitude toward human cloning is _.A. negativeB. supportiveC. uninterestedD. opposingBPanic was spreading this August through this tidy village of 2,000 as one person after another fell ill with weeks of high fever, exhaustion and bone pain, just as most of the Italians was enjoying Ferragosto, its most important summer holiday. By midmonth, more than 100 people had come down with the same disease. Although the worst symptoms disappeared after a couple of weeks, no doctor could figure out what was wrong. People blamed pollution in the river. They condemned the government. But most of all they blamed recent immigrants from tropical Africa for bringing the epidemic(流行病) to their sleepy settlement of pastel stucco(涂料粉刷) homes. Oddly, the villagers were both right and wrong. After a month of investigation, Italian public health officials discovered that the people of Castiglione di Cervia were, in fact, suffering from a tropical disease, chikungunya, a relative of dengue fever normally found in the Indian Ocean region. But the immigrants spreading the disease were not humans but insects: tiger mosquitoes, who can thrive in a warming Europe. “This is the first case of an epidemic of a tropical disease in a developed, European country,” said Dr. Roberto, director of the World Health Organizations Health and Environment program. “Warmer climate change creates conditions that make it easier for this mosquito to survive and it opens the door to diseases that didnt exist here previously. This is a real issue. It is not something a crazy environmentalist is warning about.”The local government immediately set about killing the bugs in the hope of containing the epidemic. Workers sprayed insecticides and went into each familys garden, emptying flower pots, fountains to remove the mosquitoes breeding ground. By early September, things went for the better.But the biggest mystery is whether chikungunya will emerge here next summer. In the tropics, it is a year-round disease, since the mosquitoes breed continually. With climate change at hand, Dr. Bertollini said, chikungunya will surely be back somewhere in Europe again. 41. People suffering from the disease _.A. increased dramatically by mid-SeptemberB. had a high fever followed by coldC. cancelled the most important summer holidayD. thought the government was responsible42. Tiger mosquitoes are found in the village because _.A. they have adapted themselves to the colder environmentB. the weather gets warmer and warmerC. the increasing number of Africans came to work thereD. the water is polluted seriously43. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. some diseases may spread to more places B. environmentalists did not notice the disease beforeC. tiger mosquitoes breed all the year around continuouslyD. the disease is sure to come back in European countries44. The underlined word “containing” in Paragraph 5 means _.A. covering B. controlling C. preventing D. including 45. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned in the passage?A. What did the government do with the situation?B. How many people were infected with the disease?C. Where did this kind of disease originate?D. How did doctors find out the reason for the disease? CA recent study released by the Population Fund reported that South Korea is the first of several Asian countries with large sex imbalances at birth to reverse the trend, moving toward greater equality between the sexes. Last year, the ratio was 107.4 boys born for every 100 girls, still above what is considered normal, but down from a peak of 116.5 boys born for every 100 girls in 1990. The most important factor in changing attitudes toward girls was the radical shift in the countrys economy that opened the doors to women in the work force as never before and dismantled（取消） long-held traditions, which so devalued daughters that mothers would often apologize for giving birth to a girl. The government also played a small role starting in the 1970s. Gradually alarmed by the rise in sex-preference abortions, leaders mounted campaigns to change peoples attitudes, including one that featured the popular slogan “One daughter raised well is worth 10 sons!” In 1987, the government banned doctors from revealing the sex of a fetus(坯胎) before birth. But experts say enforcement was less strict because officials feared too many doctors would be caught. Demographers(人口统计者) say the rapid change in South Koreans feelings about female babies gives them hope that sex imbalances will begin to shrink in other rapidly developing Asian countries notably China and India where the same combination of a preference for boys and new technology has led to the widespread practice of aborting female fetuses. In the meantime in China, the ratio was 120 boys born for every 100 girls. Vietnam reported a ratio of 110 boys to 100 girls. And although India recorded about 108 boys for every 100 girls, experts say the gap is sure to have widened next year.The study also warned that the widespread change of natures probabilities in Asia could eventually lead to increased sexual violence and trafficking(非法交易) of women as a generation of boys finds marriage prospects severely limited.46. Which Asian country ranks the third on the list of the sex imbalance last year according to the passage? A. China. B. Vietnam. C. South Korea. D. India.47. The government of South Korea took measures to _.A. forbid doctors to abort female fetusesB. help the public cherish girls moreC. ban mothers from apologizing for delivering of female babiesD. promote the chances of tourism48. Preference for baby girls is increasing because of _.A. more working opportunities provided in various fields.B. the breaking up of the long-held traditionsC. the basic shift in economy D. the development of technology49. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. India will see great progress toward the equality between sexes B. new technology helps somewhat to increase the sex imbalance C. many boys may be forced to commit a crime to find a spouseD. one girl is worth 10 boys in South Korea50. The main idea of the passage is _.A. Asian countries are trying to change the ratio of boys for girlsB. the greater sex imbalance causes many potential problemsC. South Korea sees the decline of sex imbalanceD. abortion of a female fetus is responsible for the sex imbalance D10-year-olds in Hong Kong performed outstandingly on a recent international literacy study, putting on an excellent display of reading skills. According to the results of the survey, Hong Kong students were second only to Russia and ahead of England, showing a significant improvement in Hong Kongs score compared with the studys first round conducted in 2001. Local students then ranked 14th out of the 35 participants, tied with Singapore, Russia and Scotland at 528, far behind Swedens 561.At a time when books are waging a losing battle against the ubiquitous(几乎无处不在的) TV and Internet, this years survey results brought out an encouraging trend among students.Appreciation for books has been in steady decline, and the habit of reading is almost non-existent now. In a survey conducted in 2005, less than half the people of the country said they were readers.Children are overwhelmed（应接不暇） with information information provided on TV and via the Internet. With the click of a mouse, the window on the world is open. As a result, there is hardly any interest in books. The habit of watching TV and staring at the monitor has dried up imaginations. Our children lack the power to imagine. Ask any child about a recent bestseller, and chances are you will be given blank stare. Reviving the habit of reading is thus a formidable（难对付的） challenge when todays children seem to shy away from books.Summer and winter holidays would provide us added leisure time to read more books. As children, we used to have the unalloyed(纯真的) pleasure of reading books, flying on the wings of imagination and exploring magical worlds, visiting mysterious people and savoring(品味) blissful experience.The reading environment at home is an important factor. Parents can play a vital role in instilling(逐渐培养) a love of books in children. To start with, reading bedtime stories to kids regularly will help them develop a natural love for books. This must begin from early childhood.51. In the 2001 international literacy study, _.A. Hong Kong scored 528, 40 points fewer than SwedenB. Russia performed as well as Hong KongC. among 35 participants, England ranked 14th D. there were more items except the display of reading skills in the survey52. Students take no interest in the books because _.A. books provide less information than TVB. parents do not set a good exampleC. they have easy access to various informationD. schools make students do much homework53. According to the passage, reading books benefits children by _.A. enriching their power to imagineB. taking them to various placesC. spending holidays meaningfullyD. improving the interpersonal relationship54. We can conclude
