britain in 2001. it is understood that the government has already agreed to use frankensteins technology, believing the benefits are more important than ethical （伦理的）concerns .researchers think it will be possible to grow brain tissue to cure the diseases that are likely to get worse as time passes like alzheimers , and produce “spare part” organs like hearts and kidneys for transplant （移植）.ministers are aware that the change in the law will be as controversial as the law which legalized abortion (堕胎）more than 30 years ago. some politicians reacted angrily , arguing that the government had already made up its mind without discussion. church leaders and anti-abortion campaigners have long expressed their horror at the plans, arguing that even the earliest embryos are forms of human life.they believe that getting an embryo from cells is morally unacceptable . and it will also cause arguments about how far scientists should interfere with nature and lead to accusations that they are “playing god”. the cloning of human embryos to provide spare parts is regarded by most experts to be the most important step forward in the 21st century medicine. scientists say treatment of diseases such as alzheimers and parkinsons will be the first application of cloning. the ability to clone embryos was first achieved by scientists in scotland in the late 1990s and now the ability to grow stem cells into tissues and organs is being developed by american researchers. combining the two technologies will mean an end to long waits for organs from donors and problems caused by rejection (排异反应） of transplanted tissues by the body.ian wilmut, the man who cloned dolly the sheep, has warned that british experts will go to america, where such work is legal, if the government does not permit it. 60.the government has decided to allow scientists to clone human embryos because they think that _. frankensteins technology is advanced its advantages are more important than its disadvantagesdiseases like alzheimers are a serious problem in their countrythey can make a lot of money from it the underlined word “they”in paragraph 2 refers to _. ministers b.scientists c .church leaders d. anti-abortion campaigners which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?most experts think that the cloning of human embryos is beneficial. politicians were in favour of the governments decision. it is legal for scientists to clone embryos in america now. american researchers are developing the ability to grow stem cells into tissues and organs. whats the best title for this passage ?science of cloning. b. cloning and abortion c. cloning human embryos d.the argument between politicians and scientists c the us will seek to expand its own oil production in an attempt to reduce dependence on imported oil and bring down fuel prices , president obama says . new contracts for exploration will be signed in non-protected areas of alaska and in the gulf of mexico. in his weekly speech , the president insisted the us could reduce its need for imported oil and improve safety. using his speech to tell americans that he understood their concerns about rising prices, president obama focused particularly on the price of fuel, which has risen in recent months. us consumers have historically enjoyed cheap fuel , but have seen prices rise in recent months even though us oil production in 2010 reached its highest level for seven years. although the oil spill in the gulf of mexico in 2010 was serious, mr obama said the gulf remained a key part of the countrys future energy supply. the presidents proposals (议案）come after republicans (共和党人） introduced a series of proposals that would expand and speed up oil and gas production. the white house has criticized the republican proposals for safety reasons , but mr obama was clear in his speech that he felt safety and environmental standards could be maintained even though production might rise. “ i believe that we should continue to expand oil production in america even as we increase safety and environmental standards ,”he said. “as a nation, we should be investing in the clean, renewable sources of energy that are the solution to high gas prices.” mr obama has previously called for a step-change in energy policy, saying the us must move towards getting 80%of its electricity from clean energy sources by 2035.64 .which of the following is not included in mr obamas speech?the dependence on imported oil. improving safety standards the reason for the rising oil prices .expanding oil production. 65 . mr obama thinks the republican proposals are _. a.not safe enough b.not environmentally friendly c.practical d.clear 66 . what can we learn from the text ?the us has got most of its electricity from clean energy. us oil production is too small to keep the present low fuel prices. the us produced the most oil in 2010 in its history.the gulf is still important in energy supply in spite of the oil spill in 2010.67 . which of the following can serve as the title?obama: us will seek oil in alaska and gulf of mexico.obama: us will import less oil to improve safety and environmental standards .obama: the time of high fuel prices will be gone. obama: clean, renewable sources of energy are the solution to high gas prices d monkeys , face to face discover magazine once reported on a curious event in the woods : a group of monkeys applied mud (泥) to their faces in order to keep away insects , but when they were done they seemed to have lost their ability to recognize each other -two monkeys that were supposed to be friends even started fighting. “faces are really important to how monkeys and apes (猿)can tell one another apart,” explained michael alfaro, a biologist at university of california, los angeles (ucla), to the new york -based international science times . this is quite different from many other animals , which depend heavily on smells. since faces play such a crucial part in the social lives of monkeys , could this explain why certain monkey species have such colorful faces while others have simpler, plainer ones ? to test this theory , a group of researchers from ucla studied 139 monkey species , mainly from asia and africa, and analyzed hundreds of headshot (头像）photos of those monkeys from their databases. it was found that species that live in larger groups have faces with more complex color patterns than those that live in smaller groups. according to live science, researchers believe that this is natures way of making it easier for monkeys to recognize each other since those living in larger groups have to distinguish between a greater number of faces. this is actually not that hard to understand . just imagine if there were 10 people standing in front of you, all wearing white clothes. it would be much more difficult to tell them apart than if they wore clothes with colorful patterns. however, if there were only two people that you had to identify, a lack of color wouldnt be much of a problem. apart from the need to recognize group members , researchers found that geography and environment also affect monkeys facial colors. species that live closer to the equator in thick, humid (潮湿的）forests were found to have darker faces than those who live in dry areas further away from the equator. this is because darker faces help camouflage (伪装）the monkeys in the woods so that they go unnoticed by predators (捕食者）. we can learn from the article that monkeys mainly recognize each ot
