to now，some scientists have suggested that cloning existing people might be ethically acceptable in some cases.one possibility is generating replacement for a dying relative.all such possibilities，however，raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete individual，because he or she would likely suffer from limitations and expectations based on the familys knowledge of the genetic “twin”those expectations might be false，because human personality is only partly determined by genes.the clone of an extrovert(性格外向的人)could have a quite different way of behavior.clones of athletes，movie stars，or scientists might well choose different careers because of chance events in early life.some people have also pointed out that couples in which one member is infertile(不生育)might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner.but society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a copy of just one of them.because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility，and the traditional choice seems more appropriate.none of the suggested uses of cloning for making copies of existing people is ethically acceptable to my way of thinking，because they are not in the interests of the resulting child.it should go without saying that i am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.in spite of this，it seems clear that cloning from cultured(人工培育的) cells will offer important medical opportunities.predictions about new technologies are often wrong；societal attitudes change；unexpected developments occur.time will tell.but biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.56towards cloning an existing person，what concern does the author show?athe clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.bthe clone created is ethically unacceptable.cthe clone created will be mistreated.dthe clone created will have one defect or another.57from the text we know that a clone will _.abe partly similar in personality to the person it is created frombshare the same characteristics with the person it is created fromcchoose the same career as the person it is created fromdbehave in the same way as the person it is created from58according to the passage，which of the following is true?aones personality is determined by neither their genes nor the environment they live in.bones personality is determined by both their genes and the environment they live in.cones personality is determined by their genes.dones personality is determined by the environment they live in.59in the authors view，which of the following uses of cloning is reasonable?ato help childless couples to have a baby.bto culture cells for medical purpose.cto develop tissue donors.dto replace a lost relative.banother reasonit was a quiet village in which there was a military camp.it was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around.of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers.but it was difficult for the young men to go outside.mr.white，an officer of forty，was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.once mr.white was ill in bed.he couldnt work and a young officer，mr.hunt，began to train the new soldiers instead of him.he knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.but night fell and none came back to the camp.he was worried about it and stood at the gate.it was five to twelve when mr.hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men.he started the car quickly and set off.at that moment the nine soldiers came back.it seemed they were all drunk.of course they found the officer was angry.“im sorry，sir，”said the first soldier.“i left the town on time.but something was wrong with my bus on my way here.i had to buy a horse and made it run fast.bad luck！it died and i had to run back.”and the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reason.it was the last soldiers turn.he said，“im sorry，sir.i got on a bus on time but.”having heard this，the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.he called out，“if you say something was wrong with your bus，ill punish you at once！”“no，no，sir，” said the young man.“my bus was all right，but the dead horses were in its way！”60the military camp was built in the village to _.astop the soldiers going to townsbstop the soldiers meeting their friendsctrain the new soldiersdmake the young men live quietly61mr.hunt let the nine soldiers have a holiday because _.ahe was kind to thembthey felt lonelycthey had something important to dodthey were the best of all62the young officer was worried because _.aa traffic accident had happenedbhe was afraid something had happened to the nine soldierscthe nine soldiers didnt come back on timedthe nine soldiers drank too much in the town63why did the nine soldiers return to the camp late?abecause something was wrong with their buses.bbecause their horses died on the return way.cbecause it took them much time to run back.dbecause they all had drunk much in the town.cromedoctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an italian specialist is on_the_brink_of cloning the first human baby.dr.severino antinori，who is the head of a hospital in rome，has been referred to in an arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant with a cloned baby.antinori refused to comment on the reports，but in march 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo for implantation within two years.so far seven different kinds of mammals have already been successfully cloned，including sheep，cats and most recently rabbits.doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admitted that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a worldwide ban on the practice.professor rudolf jaenisch of the whitehead institute for biomedical research at the massachusetts institute of technology said，“i find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby.it is using humans as guinea pigs.it makes people feel sick.”but ronald green，director of the ethics institute at darmouth college in the us，said it was unlikely that an eightweekold pregnancy would lead to a birth.so far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders，many of them dying soon after their births.doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.“there are no benefits of cloned human beings，just harm，”said dr.michael wilks of the uk.64what do the underlined words “on the brink of” in the first paragraph most probably mean?aon the side of.bon the point of. cin search of. din favor of. 65according to the passage, the doctors general attitude to the cloning of humans is that _.athey are against itbthey support itcthey pay no attention to itdthey welcome it66what does the underlined word “ban” in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?aorder that forbids cloning. bsuggestion on carrying on cloning.canger at cloning. dcheer for cloning.67which of the following statements is true according to the passage?adoctor severino antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings. bup to now，seven kinds of animals have been cloned，including sheep，cats，humans and rabbits.cprofessor rudolf jaenisch is carrying on an experiment on cloning an eightweekold embryo.dronald green doubts about the future successful birth of socalled cloned embryo. din many asian countries，the left hand is considered unclean.historically，lefthanded people have been given a hard time in the west as well.in some european languages，for instance，words for “left”are derived from words that mean “weak”，“evil”，etc.nowadays，fortunately，the greatest difficulty lefties have is always speculated about why so many people are lefties.the old theory of handedness suggests that humans are largely righties as a matter of convenience.in ancient times，mothers could have gotten into the habit of holding babies on their left sides in order to soothe(安慰) them with the sound of a beating heart.as a result，the only hand available for performing other tasks would have been the right.with the recent research，many scientists have turned to a genetic model to explain handedness.to put it simply，you either have the gene for being a righty，or you do not.this theory still needs to be refined，as it does not account for the fact that twothirds of all lefties are born to righthanded parents，or that identical twins sometimes favor opposite hands.another theory，based on studies of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)，suggests that handedness is related to birth order.scientists have long been aware that the firstborn and lastborn chimpanzees in a family are more likely to suffer from developmental problems.these chimps are also most likely to be lefthanded.the implication is that if something goes wrong before the chimpanzee is born，this might be reflected later in its hand preference.does this mean that lefties are more closely related to chimpanzees than the rest of us? certainly not.what is interesting to note，however，is that without the bias towards the right in the human brain，there is more unusual brain organization.this correlates to more lefthanded people occupying top and bottom places on the scale of human ability，and fewer in the middle.as a result，lefties are more likely than righties to be musicians，members of highiq societies，and us. presidents.68nowadays lefties may feel uncomfortable because _.athe left hand is considered uncleanbpeople who use left hand are considered weak or even evilcthe ordinary tools are not convenient for them to usedlefties are considered less intelligent than righties69if a man is lefthanded，his brain _.ais more similar to the brain of chimpanzeesbis the same as the brains of righthanded peoplechas more unusual brain organization than that of the rightiesdhas developed better than any righthanded peoples brain70which of the following is not true according to the passage?ascientists have managed to explain peoples lefthanded habit by a genetic model.bthe old theory of handedness is not reasonable.cso far，no theory has completely explained handedness.dlefties can be more likely to become successful.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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。recently some american scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations.they say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago._71_the scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. _72_so they are called “disease of civilization”. many cancers and disease of blood systems are examples of such diseases.scientists noted that people in both the old stone age and the new stone age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco，probably none._73_however, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.stone age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. they ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. they did not have milk or any other dairy products and they made very little use of grains. _74_we eat six times more salt than our ancestors(祖先)we eat more sugar. we eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin c._75_ but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.a. these new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.b. people today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did.c. ancient people also lived in large groups.d. but today, we eat a lot of these.e. ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise.f. in that case, they would live much healthier.g. people today probably live the same life as people thousands of years ago did.第二卷第四部分
