Animal cloning had been old news for nearly a decade by then, with the revolutionary (革命的) cloning of Dolly the sheep in Scotland.However, Snuppy was the first pet, a dog, to be cloned. Since the cloning of Snuppy, there has been some very successful cloning of pets and other animals. Lou Hawthorne started BioArts while cloning his beloved mixed-breed dog Missy. Hawthorne was very pleased with the results of the cloning, producing three successful clones that were very alike to the original in character and behavior. In January, 2009, a Florida couple, Ed and Nina Otto, announced that they had paid to have their dog cloned by BioArts.All new technology is overpriced. For example, personal computers were not very affordable at first. Only after the producing process was improved was it possible for every family to have a computer. How much room there will be for organizations to reduce the price point on pet cloning without broad demand is of course questionable.There are many great dogs and cats that can be found at the local dog pound ( 野狗收容所) or are given away for “free to good homes” in classified ads (分类广告). However, there is no limit to the value people place on a beloved pet. The Ottos are a good example of that. If people can buy a dog or cat with predictable behavior and characteristics, there is value in that. There is a predictable market here, though it may always be limited in size.While pet cloning has not taken off as some hoped, its clear that it will become a bigger market in the future and it will be increasingly possible for people to try this out. With the inevitable (不可避免的) success that cloned pet owners will have, the practice will become more widely accepted and it seems inevitable that there is a future for cloned dogs and cats.8. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The brief introduction of pet cloning.B. The behavior of cloned animals.C. The cases of pet cloning.D. The history of pet cloning.9. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Pet cloning will be accepted by everyoneB. New technology of pet cloning will be invented.C. Human cloning may one day become a reality.D. The price of pet cloning may not be cheap.10. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in the third paragraph?A. cheapB. wonderfulC. expensiveD. various11. What does the author think of the market of pet cloning?A. NegativeB. Not clearC. IndifferentD. Optimistic【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了宠物克隆技术正在日益兴起，文章列举了一些宠物克隆的成功例子，但是目前这项新技术目前还很昂贵。但是作者对宠物克隆未来的市场持乐观态度。【8题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句As early as 2005, there were a number of new stories about dog cloning(克隆) and cat cloning.以及文章主要内容都是围绕关于宠物克隆的，故文章中心思想是想要简要介绍宠物克隆。故选A。【9题详解】推理判断题。第三段最后一句How much room there will be for organizations to reduce the price point on pet cloning without broad demand is of course questionable.可知在没有广泛需求的情况下，组织将有多大的空间来降低宠物克隆的价格是值得怀疑的。可推理得宠物克隆的价格可能并不便宜，故选D。【10题详解】词义猜测题。根据下文For example, personal computers were not very affordable at first.可知例如，个人电脑一开始并不是很便宜。可推测得上文中划线部分的单词意思为“昂贵的”，故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句While pet cloning has not taken off as some hoped, its clear that it will become a bigger market in the future and it will be increasingly possible for people to try this out.可知作者认为宠物克隆在未来将成为一个更大的市场，人们将越来越有可能尝试这种做法。即作者对于宠物克隆的市场是乐观的，故选D。DThe first day my new teacher walked into our school in Spanish Harlem, I burst out laughing. Ron Clark was this young white guy from North Carolina who talked with a funny Southern accent（口音）. He said he used to be a singing waiter. I thought, Who is this guy? Hes a complete joke.It was 1999 and I was in the fifth grade at New York Citys P.S. 83. I guessed Id spend most of the year in the headmasters office. Id always been a troublemaker. Id get shouted at, and then the teachers would give up on me. I thought thats what would happen with Ron Clark.I was wrong. That first week, I kept laughing at him. He pulled me out to the hallway and said Id better shape up（表现好）. Tamara, he said, youre a smart kid. You can do better.He told me I was a natural leader and that Id go far in life if I started studying hard. I was mad at first, but then something happened: I began to respect him. There were 29 students in our class, and it didnt take long for us to realize that Ron Clark was no ordinary teacher.Like most teachers, he had lots of rules: Treat each other like family. Dont cut in line. But the real difference was how concerned he was. Mr. Clark ate with us in the lunchroom instead of going to the teachers day-room. At first, my friends and I were thinking, What is he doing?He asked us what was going on in our lives. Between classes, he came outside with us, and we taught him how to jump rope. When it snowed, Mr. Clark, whod never seen snow before, threw us with snowballs, and we threw him back.Before coming to P.S. 83, he taught at Snowden Elementary in his hometown, Belhaven, North Carolina. His parents were DJs( 流行音乐节目主持人)at dance clubs, so he grew up with music and energy. He wanted a life of adventure, he told me, but his mom encouraged him to ask for a position at Snowden when one of the teachers passed away. Mr. Clark ended up loving it. He came to Harlem because hed seen a TV show about our troubled schools and the lack of qualified teachers. He wanted a challenge. Boy, did he get one.12. The reason why I burst out laughing the first day my new teacher walked into our school was that .A. he used to be a singing waiter.B. he walked into our school by mistake.C. hes a jokeD. Ron Clark came from North Carolina but talked with a funny Southern accent.13. The reason for saying “I was wrong” was that .A. she kept laughing at him that first week.B. he was a teacher quite different from others.C. she got shouted at.D. shed been a troublemaker.14. Ron Clark went to teach at Snowden because .A. a teacher there died.B. the school there was troubled.C. he could live a life of adventure there.D. there were no qualified teachers there.15. Which is FALSE about Mr. Clark?A. He had not seen snow before.B. He did not know how to jump rope.C. He did not teach before coming to Harlem.D. He thought he was a qualified teacher.【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C【解析】本篇为记叙文。Ron Clark初到Harlem, 学生Tamara先是觉得他的口音很可笑，继而觉得无非又一平庸之辈，依自己的表现，不是被叫到校长办公室，就是挨老师训。虽然对Clark有所不敬，但他却耐心说服教育Tamara，学生们渐渐觉得Clark非同一般，看到Clark和学生打成一片，对之更是喜爱有加。【12题详解】细节理解题。第一段第二句Ron Clark was this young white guy from North Carolina who talked with a funny Southern accent（口音）.可知Ron Clark是一个来自北卡罗莱纳的年轻白人。他说话带着很滑稽的南方口音。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。第四段最后一句it didnt take long for us to realize that Ron Clark was no ordinary teacher. 可知没过多久，我们就意识到Ron Clark不是一个普通的老师，学生们意识到他不同于其他老师，故选B。【14题详解】细节理解题。最后一段but his mom encouraged him to ask for a position at Snowden when one of the teachers passed away.可知Ron Clark去斯诺登学院教书是因为那儿有一位老师去世了，故选A。【15题详解】细节理解题。从最后一段第一句话Before coming to P.S. 83, he taught at Snowden Elementary in his hometown, Belhaven, North Carolina.可知Clark之前曾任教于家乡的Snowden Elementary，故C选项：他来Harlem之前没有教书的说法是错误的，故选C。第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to politely refuse an invitationHave you ever received an invitation that you couldnt accept?
