Since that moment, not only the scientists in the field of biotechnology, but also the people over the whole world, have focused their attentions on whether humanity should be cloned or not. Undoubtedly, human cloning has already become the most controversial issue for a period. But seemingly, people havent got tired of the endless debates on this topic. The most crucial consideration during the debate is if human cloning can bring about good more than harm to society or not. Apparently, one of the well-known benefits brought about by human cloning is medical advance. Once a cell is duplicated using the genetic materials derived from its host, the cell can act as a primary cell capable of dividing and differentiating into specialized cells such as liver cells as well as nerve cells, and then develop into some kinds of vital organs. This sounds incredible, in particular to those who long for transplants to prolong their lives. Apart from this, during the process of nurturing the cloned embryo, scientists can extend their scope of knowledge about the mysterious causes and mechanism of certain fatal and incurable diseases like Parkinsons disease, cancer and AIDs. On the basis of such discoveries, scientists are able to explore more ways to combat the diseases. Furthermore, according to many scientists statements, the ageing process could be hindered if human cloning proceeded successfully. This means the impractical dream of extending the average lifespan of humanity to 120 years could ultimately become reality. As long as all nations strictly control the use of human cloning, human cloning will do more good than harm.正确答案： biotechnology学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： 正确答案： attentions学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： 正确答案： controversial学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： 正确答案： crucial学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： 正确答案： benefits学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： 正确答案： duplicated学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： 正确答案： capable学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： 正确答案： the mysterious causes学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： 正确答案： combat the diseases学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： 正确答案： ultimately become reality学生答案：得分：0分 您可以修改得分： Part II Reading Comprehension ( 25 minutes ) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a passage with several blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. I always thought that when our research was successful that I would just be pleased that we had 21 this when others had not. In reality, it is 22 when you look through the microscope, you see what you may have looked like a long time ago, at least in part. When I looked down and saw that cloned 23 , it brought tears to my eyes. I had done this for my mother, and I realized, 24 she only been able to live a few years longer, maybe we could have used this technology to help her. It was 25 to see that potential, which she never had a chance to experience. Theres a big 26 out there that we decided to destroy these embryos for some reason. There was so much 27 about this process because of the scientific 28 from the past that it was critical that there be no doubt that they were clones. In the process of analysis, the embryos were destroyed by 29 . In other words, to get the 30 material from inside the cells to analyze it, you have to destroy the cell.A) ifB) geneticallyC) fraudD) transparentE) emotionF) transcendentG) blastocystH) skepticismI) emotionalJ) skepticalK) misconceptionL) geneticM) hadN) necessityO) accomplished21._ 正确答案： O 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 22._ 正确答案： F 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 23._ 正确答案： G 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 24._ 正确答案： M 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 25._ 正确答案： I 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 26._ 正确答案： K 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 27._ 正确答案： H 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 28._ 正确答案： C 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 29._ 正确答案： N 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 30._ 正确答案： L 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 Section B Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Depending on whom you ask, the experiment announced at a Texas medical conference last week was a potential breakthrough for infertile women, a tragic failure or a dangerous step closer to the nightmare scenario of human cloning.Infertility was clearly the motivation when Chinese doctors used a new technique to help one of their countrywomen get pregnant. Using a technique developed by Dr. James Grifo at New York University, Dr. Zhuang Guanglun of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou took the patients fertilized egg, scooped out the chromosome-bearing nuclear material and put it in a donated egg whose nucleus had been removed. In this more benign environment, development proceeded normally, and the woman became pregnant with triplets who carried a mix of her DNA and her husbands pretty much like any normal baby.What has made some doctors and ethicists upset is that this so-called nuclear-transfer technique has also been used to produce clones, starting with Dolly the sheep. The only significant difference is that with cloning, the inserted nucleus comes from a single, usually adult, cell, and the resulting offspring is genetically identical to the parent. Doing that with humans is ethically repugnant to many. Besides, for reasons that arent yet well understood, cloned animals often abort spontaneously or are born with defects; Dolly died very young, though she had seemed healthy. And because the Chinese womans twins were born prematurely and died, critics have suggested that cloning and nuclear transfer are equally risky for humans.Not likely, says Grifo. “The obstetric outcome was a disaster,” he admits, “but the embryos were chromosomally normal. We have no evidence that it had anything to do with the procedure.” Even so, concern over potential risks is why the Food and Drug Administration created a stringent approval process for such research in 2001 a process that Grifo found so onerous that he stopped working on the technique and gave it to the researchers in China, where it was subsequently banned.The bottom line, say critics, is that perfecting a technique that could be used for human cloning, even if it were developed for another purpose, is just a bad idea an assertion Zhuang rejects. “I agree that it makes sense to control these experiments,” he says. “But weve developed an effective technology to help people. We understand how to do it. We need it.”31.What is implied in the first paragraph?A) Some people regard it as a tragic failure.B) The new experiment means a breakthrough for some people.C) People have different reactions to the new experiment.D) The new experiment means a step further to the dangerous human cloning. 正确答案： C 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 32.The author uses the case of Dolly and the Chinese pregnant woman to show that _.A) both nuclear-transfer and cloning are dangerous for humans and animalsB) both of them benefit from the new techniqueC) both of them are the examples of technical failureD) both of them are the fruits of the new technology 正确答案： A 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 33.Zhuangs attitude toward the critics conclusion is one of _.A) reserved consentB) strong disapprovalC) slight contemptD) enthusiastic support 正确答案： B 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 34.The only difference existing between nuclear-transfer and cloning technique is _.A) whether it is used for research or for helping the infertileB) whether the offspring looks like the parentC) whether it is used in animals or human beingsD) whether the inserted nucleus comes from a single and usually adult cell 正确答案： D 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 35.The text intends to express the idea that _.A) research of cloning has potential risksB) the research of cloning should be stopped totallyC) ethics and research of cloning are in contradictionD) researchers should have the right to continue the study of cloning 正确答案： C 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The oldest and simplest method, then of describing differences in personality was to classify people according to types, and such a system is called a Typology.A famous example of this method was set forth in Greece about the year 400 BC. A physician named Hippocrates theorized that there were four fluids, or humors, in the body. Corresponding to each humor, he believed, there existed a definite type of personality.The four humors were blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. A person in whom all four humors were in perfect balance had a harmonious personality. If a person had too much blood, he was called sanguine (血红色), or cheerful and optimistic. Someone with too much yellow bile was choleric, or irritable and easily angered. Too much black bile made a person melancholy, or depressed and pessimistic. An oversupply of phlegm caused a human being to be phlegmatic, or slow and unfeeling. Scientists have long since discarded Hippocrates fluid theory. But the names of the humors, corresponding to these temperaments, have survived and are still useful, to some extent, in describing personality.Other features of people, such as their faces and physics, have also been used to classify personality. Today, however, personality theories and classifications may also include factors such as heredity (遗传特征), the environment, intelligence, and emotional needs. Psychology, biology, and sociology are involved in these theories. Because of the complexity of human personality, present day theories are often very different from one another. Psychologists vary in their ideas about what is most important in determining personality.36.According to Hippocrates fluid theory, a man with too much phlegm will be _.A) optimisticB) easily angeredC) unexcitableD) pessimistic 正确答案： C 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 37.The main idea of this passage is about _.A) the complicated factors in determining ones personalityB) Hippocrates fluid theory and its developmentC) the past and today of personality classifications and theoriesD) different personalities and their details 正确答案： C 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 38.At present, psychologists _.A) have common opinion about personality theories and classificationsB) use biology, archaeology and sociology to study personality theoriesC) have abandoned Hippocrates fluid theory entirelyD) all agree that human beings are characterized with complex personalities 正确答案： D 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 39.The third paragraph mainly talks about _.A) Hippocrates fluid theoryB) scientists points of view on Hippocrates fluid theoryC) Hippocrates fluid theory and its fateD) defects in Hippocrates fluid theory 正确答案： C 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 40.According to this passage, the factors which are still NOT used to classify personality are _.A) ones born features and needs of love and successB) ones height and weightC) ones hobbies and idealsD) the environment and intelligence 正确答案： C 学生答案： 未选择 得分：0分 Part III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes ) Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.
