单元综合检测(三)Unit 3Science and nature(时间：100分钟；满分：120分).阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)AIn 2001, scientists at Texas A&M University successfully cloned a cat for the first time, but this copy cat is no mirror image of the original.Copy Cat (CC) was the first cat ever cloned.In 2001, researchers at Texas A&M University created the clone from the DNA of a calico cat(三色猫) named Rainbow after a failed attempt at cloning a dog.Interestingly, Rainbow and Copy Cat are different in many ways.Rainbows coat is brown, and white, while CCs is gray and white; Rainbow is shy, but CC is outgoing and curious.The differences in the two cats indicate that identical DNA wont necessarily create similar appearances or personalities because there are many other factors that contribute to both surface characteristics and temperament(性情)CC has since gone on to have three healthy kittens via the natural method, and the research that led to her creation became the foundation for a Californiabased pet cloning company called Genetic Savings & Clone, Inc.However, the cat cloning project caused criticism from animal welfare groups, which pointed out that millions of cats are killed in shelters each year due to pet overpopulation.They argued that the large sums of money spent on creating more cats could be put to better use providing homes for strays.There are also objections to the cloning process itself.Many people consider cloning cruel, as it is a process that can lead to deformities and other problems, which is evident in the fact that many clones die within months or even days of creation.Much to the delight of animal welfare advocates, after cloning five cats in total, Genetic Savings & Clone shut down in 2006.The reason for the companys close was its inability to make its cloning technology affordable and thus accessible to mainstream consumers.1What is the best title of the passage?ACloned Catsa Surprising Development on TechnologyBCloned CatsCloning Produces Surprising ResultsCCloned Catsa Cruel Research in ScienceDCloned Catsa Project Caused Criticism2Which of the following about CC is TRUE?AThe researchers failed in cloning it in 2001.BIts fur is brown and white as the calico cat.CIt is outgoing and curious as Rainbow.DIt doesnt have similar personalities as Rainbow.3Whats the underlined word in the 6th paragraph similar to?ACriticism.BWaste of money.CDisability.DOverpopulation.4The reason for the companys demise is that cloning is Aa waste of moneyBcruel sometimesCinaccessible to most peopleDaffordable to consumersBPeter Onruang，a Hollywood businessman，has paid $310，000 to clone his best friend Wolfie，a lovely dog.He said，“Wolfie was more than just a pet to me.” Wolfie died two years ago，at the age of 15.But long before she and her sister Bubble passed away，Onruang had plans to bring them back to life.Onruang said，“I buried them at home.Each time I visit them，I say，Hi，Im making a new body for you.”Finally，Onruang found the South Korean biotechnology company RNL Bio，which can and will clone animals.Onruang collected his dogs stem cells (干细胞)，and then he started a website My Friend A，so he could earn and save the $310，000 that the cloning would cost.The new dogs should look identical (完全相同的) to Wolfie and Bubble.When the cloning process is done，Onruang may end up with several clones of each dog.But Onruang admits hes still not sure that they will be exactly the same.Scientists cloned the first animal，a sheep named Dolly，in 1996 in Scotland.That project has raised ethical (伦理的) questions about where science should draw the line.Another question is whether such technique will lead to a day when humans could be cloned.“If I had an opportunity to clone myself，I would do it readily，” Onruang said.“Because its me，Im raising myself.I have already known exactly my strengths and weaknesses.This person is going to be the new and improved me，and will live the life Ive always wanted to live.”5Onruang started the website My Friend A in order to Aencourage more people to clone their petsBdraw peoples attention to cloningCcollect his dogs stem cellsDraise money to pay for the cloning6The purpose of the fourth paragraph is to tell us Awhen and where scientists cloned the first sheep DollyBpeople are in favour of the clone technologyCthere are arguments about the clone technologyDcloning will be of great benefit to humans7What is Onruangs attitude towards cloning humans?AHe doesnt care about it.BHe is enthusiastic about it.CHe strongly opposes it.DHe never thinks about it.CCelebrities(名人)dont choose to become celebrities；they get a part in a movie or television series，and suddenly they are idols(偶像)which people around the world either choose to hate or love for no reason other than the characters they play.The choice to like or hate a celebrity based on their performances is meaningless，as the writers are the ones who create the characters，and the directors are the ones who tell them to act in a certain way.Although，some people do dislike celebrities for their acting skills shown worldwide which is slightly more understandable but still meaningless.Magazines and newspapers hunt celebrities，searching them out to see what theyre doing to arouse the publics interest in their lives.Photographers and journalists will walk the streets to find the celebrities people are interested in and either get news from them or make something up based on a photo of them.If a celebrity goes outside without makeup(化妆)，the newspapers and magazines will say how unattractive they are and how they must feel horrible to be looking like that.The truth is that all people go outdoors without makeup once in a while，and none of them do it because they feel horrible.The press simply have a way to horribly change everything to benefit them.There is another side to the entire situation.Some celebrities love to be in the light even outside their television shows or movies.Some celebrities give newspapers stories that have happened to them simply to get more attention for their career.These celebrities become wellknown for their stories，and usually get featured in programs where they are made fun of by audiences as a result.8What can we learn from the first paragraph?AIts meaningless to love or hate celebrities.BDirectors are more important than writers.CWe should focus on celebrities acting skills.DThe public pay too much attention to celebrities.9Whats the authors attitude towards magazines and newspapers hunting celebrities?AWorried.BUncaring.COpposing.DSupportive.10Why do some celebrities tell stories that happened to them?ATo make money.BTo entertain the public.CTo get good roles in shows.DTo make themselves famous.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Livestock (牲畜) cloning is the practice of cloning sheep, cattle and other livestock species as a way to improve efficiency.The basic idea behind livestock cloning is to clone animals that have certain qualities, such as cows that produce more milk or meat. 11 However, this practice is very controversial, and livestock farmers have been hesitant to adopt it fully because of public opposition and certain inefficiencies.In technical terms, livestock are cloned by taking cells from one animal and using them to fertilize eggs (使卵子受精). Scientists take the fertilized eggs and put them in female animals. 12 Many animals are born with abnormal shapes.Scientists are looking for ways to improve the process and make it less expensive to adopt on a wider scale. 13 For example, if farmers were able to take only their very best animals and recreate them many times, they could potentially be more productive.There are also some potential problems with cloned livestock. 14 For example, when a disease hits, there are usually individuals who cannot be harmed by the disease or are more resistant, and they will generally survive.If all the animals were genetically (在基因方面)identical or similar, this sort of disease could totally destroy an entire generation of livestock, leaving the world with a massive food shortage.In addition to concerns about genetic diversity, there are other concerns about cloning. 15 There are also some people who worry that livestock cloning research may be a gateway to introducing human cloning, which is widely disapproved of.AAre the surviving clones really clones?BTherefore, the new species is expected to be better.CThe biggest one arises from a reduction in genetic diversity.DCloned livestock have the potential to provide some major benefits.ECloning animals shows us what might happen if we try to clone humans.FThese concerns sometimes come from worries over unforeseen consequences.GThis process doesnt always work perfectly, and it can be relatively expensive.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)(2019山东省潍坊市高二上学期期中)Its always been a dream for Alex to take a trip with her mother, but it was a death in the family that 16 made them both realize how precious life really is.“After losing my grandma, I 17 that neither I nor my mum will 18 be here, and that I cant 19 the right time to come，” the 27yearold girl told The Huffington post.“After a week of 20 ， my amazing mum and I are off to travel around the United States.We will be travelling from New York to Los Angeles interviewing 21 who are changing the world for the better and 22 the dream I had for a very long time: to travel together with my mother.I have taken a month off work and we are on our way. 23 are waiting！”Alex said.So in August，Alex and her 63yearold retired mother，Halina, traveled to the United States for a threeweek 24 that took them from coast to coast.Alex is the 25 of Looking For Heroes, a social media project, in which she photographs many of the interesting people she meets with, 26 unique tidbits (花边新闻) of their life stories at the same time.The 27 mother and daughter traveled across the nation, visiting cities 28 Knoxville, Tennessee, New York City, Los Angeles and Washington.Along the way they took photos 29 famous backdrops (背景) in each city, making some 30 memories.Meanwhile, Alex 31 much from her mother.Her mother often said “My 32 to young people would be to learn new things, and what you have learned will be your biggest 33 in life.”With age you stop 34 about things that dont matter.
