语 篇 提 能阅读理解AWhen researchers made their first clone of an animal, Dolly the Sheep, in 1997, one doctor said, “The genie is out of the bottle，” But_then_he_tried_to_actually_create_the_“genie”_by_making_a_human.Dr Panayiotis Zavos told the public on October 5th that he could create the first cloned human before the end of the year. He is an expert on human copying and breeding(繁殖)from the University of Kentucky in the United States. His workers have been stopped from carrying out research in most European Union countries, but Zavos said that fact was not slowing progress.“It is going well enough, so we may try the first production of cloned embryos(胚胎)in the very near future. That is, three or four months from now.” Cypriotborn Zavos said. He moved to the United States over 30 years ago.Human cloning could, in effect, create a copy of another living or dead person.But Zavos insisted there was nothing harmful in the project. As an expert on human reproduction, he said he is only interested in helping couples who cannot naturally have babies to have a child.“We are not interested in cloning people like Bin Laden, Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan，” the doctor added. “We are only interested in helping a father who does not have the ability to have a biological child of his own.” Zavos said thousands of childless people from all over the world are helping in more than one country.1In the underlined sentence, “he” refers to_.Athe doctor who said “The genie is out of the bottle.”BDollyCthe writerDthe genie2Dr Panayiotis Zavos_.Awill clone Bin Laden alikeBwill clone the people he dislikesCwont clone great peopleDwill clone the ones who cannot bear children naturally3We can know from the passage that_.Aall the people support Zavoss researchBthe research on human reproduction is being doneClots of countries are doing research on human cloningDthe research is being done only in one country答案与解析：1解析：词义判断题。转折词But then表示he不怕genie，反而去创造genie，因而he就是指the doctor。答案：A2解析：细节理解题。答案可从倒数第二段中的“.helping couples who cannot naturally have babies to have a child”一句中找出。答案：D3解析：推理判断题。从最后一段最后一句“.thousands of childless people from all over the world are helping in more than one country”可知，从事该项研究的不止一个国家。答案：CBA recent announcement by scientists that they have successfully cloned the first human embryo(胚胎) has caused much debate and has shocked many people around the world. On the one hand, some scientists point out that if you clone an embryo, you can produce valuable tissues(组织) and organs that could be used to save human lives. On the other hand, many people, including some scientists, disagree and fear that if mankind interferes with(干涉) nature in this way, they may be on their way to producing a reallife Frankensteins monster.Cloning is producing an exact copy of a plant or an animal using its cells. The first mammal to be cloned successfully from an adult cell was Dolly the sheep. She was born in 1996 and died in early 2003，at a much younger age than normal. When she was born, many people were angry because they thought cloning would create more diseases in the animal world. However, in general the scientists were praised for their wonderful scientific breakthrough.The Scottish scientist who created Dolly, Ian Wilmut, is shocked that some scientists are now considering cloning human beings. Although he researches cloning, he has never thought of creating copies of humans. Instead, he thinks the scientists should concentrate on creating new tissues and organs that could eventually be used to cure diseases like cancer. However, some people consider that cloning human embryos with the intention of destroying them shows no respect for human lives.While cloning human embryos is illegal in many countries, some scientists are already pushing ahead with the research so as to deliver a cloned human baby. Severino Antinori, an Italian doctor, is one of the leaders in this field of research. He has declared that he wants to be the first to clone a human being.In China, scientists have focused their efforts on cloning animals, as well as stem cells to be used in medical research. China has succeeded in producing clones of cows and goats, and continues to research ways in which cloning can benefit mankind.4Which of the following statements about cloning is TRUE according to the passage?ACloning technology can only be applied to animals.BA cloned animal can live longer than a normal one.CPeople all over the world are happy about the birth of Dolly.DCloning can produce valuable tissues and organs to cure human diseases.5The reasons why some people disagree with cloning include the following EXCEPT that _.Acloning may produce a reallife Frankensteins monsterBcloning might create more diseases in the animal worldCcloning human embryos shows no respect for human livesDcloning cant help those who want to clone their dead children6Who is/are in favor of cloning human beings?AIan Wilmut. BSeverino Antinori.CThe author.DThe Chinese scientists.答案与解析：4解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句
