Most of what you see in these movies is false. What you dont know is that cloning could be dangerous, to the clone and to our society as a whole. Its immoral to have a human clone.What about identity(身份)? Humans are promised the right to their own personality. What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone elses genetic identity? True, personality is not fixed in someones genes(基因), but the clone would share any physical appearance or genetic fault of the cloned.Also, there is large power struggle here. Cloning means a degree of power and control over another persons physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personality. The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.Cloning would also deal with killing embryos(胚胎). You might not have known, but Dolly, the sheep that was cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived. The rest died or were thrown away. Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans. More than 200 embryos, the start of 200 human beings, would die for the sake of just one embryo that would have the same DNA as some one else.Cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone. In studies done on cows, 4 out of 12 birth mothers died. There is very high failure rate, which is shown in the cloning of Dolly. Even if you had a few good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests.So, should we work ahead in the world of cloning? I say no. The risks are greater than the benefits. Its dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother. We would be killing human lives in the process. It would also be a violation(侵害) of the clones right to its own genetic identity and personality.5The author thinks human cloning is wrong mainly for _ reasons.A2 B3C4 D56According to the article, what is the authors opinion about identity?ACloning itself gives parents great power over identity.BPeoples identity is completely determined by their genes.CGovernment have the rights to confirm peoples identities.DCloning may prevent people from possessing their identities.7From Paragraph 4 we can infer that _.Ahuman cloning is much difficult than animal cloningBDolly is the most successful one among 200 sheep embryosCcloning means running the risk of wasting too much effortDnumbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloningCThe writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writers life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as “Would you really marry a woman who works?” And today itd be “Would you marry one who doesnt?”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.8. The book Gone with the Wind was _.A. first published on a newspaperB. awarded ten Academy AwardsC. written in “The Dump”D. adapted from a movie9.

However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.16 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 17Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 18 complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.19 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.20 enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. To fight family laziness, set an example. B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.F. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for the children.第二部分：完型填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）When Monty Roberts was a child, his daddy as a horse fitness instructor was moving from ranch(农场) to ranch, training horses. 21 , the boys education was frequently interrupted.
