after being separately cloned from a skilled drug sniffer dog Officials said using cloned dogs could help reduce costs due to the difficulties in finding dogs that are qualified for the jobs The cloning work was carried out by a team of Seoul National University scientists In 2005 they successfully created the world s first known dog clone an Afghan hound 猎犬猎犬 named Snuppy The team is led by Professor Lee Byeong chun The seven new cloned male dogs are all healthy For now they share the same name Toppy a combination of the words tomorrow and puppy They are active and excel in accepting the training said Kim Nak seung a trainer at the Customs Service s dog training center In February all seven dogs passed a behavior test aimed at finding whether they are genetically qualified to work as

potential 潜力 潜力 of the nation Today in America if you ask the high school students to list their heroes their choices would probably fall into three groups The first group of heroes would be the rock stars the people connected with rock music There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model The rock stars too often are involved with drugs and their personal life is not all that good The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles However one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports stars Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area sports However too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a mess Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports stars A third type of hero is the TV or movie stars These persons may have lots of acting talent and are quite handsome However they should not be held up as a model for young people Today the rock star the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America Really do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor a teacher or a scientist These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes However they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles If the heroes of today for the American youngsters are limited only to rock stars athletes and actors the future does not look too bright 67 From the passage we know that the heroes the American youth admire are those A who are not bright but are good looking B who are rich but are strict with themselves C who are talented in some area but lead an improper life D who are perfect in all areas 68 It can be inferred that the American young people will not admire A a university professor B a popular singer C a football player D a film actress 69 According to the writer people should admire those A who are rich and wear the latest fashionable clothes B who can express people s feelings C whose personal life is good D who work in the interest of the people 70 What is the writer s attitude towards American youth s admiration A He understands it B He criticizes it C He is angry about it D He is uninterested in it 第二节 共第二节 共 5 个小题 每小题个小题 每小题 3 分 满分分 满分 15 分 分 When I was 16 years old a boy gave me an important gift 71 It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior
