module2 a job worth doing.阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c、d)中，选出最佳选项。asir john，a british scientist who won last years nobel prize for medicine，said he had predicted at the time of his frog experiments that the successful cloning of a mammal would happen within 50 years, and that “maybe the same answer is appropriate” for the step to human cloning. parents who lose children in accidents may be able to clone “copies” to replace them then.although any attempt to clone an entire human would raise complex moral issues，the biologist claimed people would soon overcome their concerns if the technique became medically useful. cloning was regarded with extreme doubts when it was first developed but became widely accepted after the birth of louise brown，the first “test tube baby”. he said, “when my first frog experiment was done，an american reporter asked how long it will be before these things can be done in mammals or humans.i said，well，it could be anywhere between 10 years and 100 yearshow about 50 years？it turned out that it wasnt far off the mark as far as dolly was concerned.maybe the same answer is appropriate.”sir john added that cloning a human being effectively means making an identical twin，and doctors would therefore simply be “copying what nature has already produced”the average vote on allowing parents of deceased children，who are no longer fertile (能生育的) ，to create another using the mothers eggs and skin cells from the first child，thinking the technique was safe and effective，is 60 per cent in favor.the reasons for “no” are usually that the new child would feel they were some sort of a replacement for something.1sir john predicted the human cloning would be a reality in_at most.a100 yearsb60 yearsc50 years d10

earth.please look at the sky and the sea.the sky gives space peace and serenity.without me，you would all be nothing.” yellow chuckled(暗笑)，“you all know that the sun is yellow，the moon is yellow，and the stars are yellow，too.without me there would be no fun.” orange started，“i am the color of health and strength.i carry the most important vitamins.when i fill the sky at sunrise or sunset，my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you.” red shouted out，“i am the ruler，of all of you.i am bloodlifes blood！i bring fire into the blood.i am the color of passion and love.” purple rose up to his full height，“kings，chiefs，and bishops have always chosen me for i am the sign of authority and wisdom.people do not question me！they listen and obey！”finally，indigo(靛青) spoke，much more quietly than all the others，“i am the color of silence.you hardly notice me，but without me you all become superficial.you need me for balance and contrast，for prayer and inner peace.”the colors quarreling became louder and louder.suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder.rain started to pour down relentlessly(无情地)the colors crouched down in fear.in the midst of the noises，rain began to speak，“you foolish colors，dont you know that you were each made for a special purpose，unique and different？join hands with one another and come to me.”doing as they were told，the colors united and joined hands. the rain continued，“from now on，when it rains，each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in
