5、ding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage one Passage two Passage three II Part II Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages for this task. The passages are followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and

6、 D. You should decide on the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Several commentators and scientists have suggested that it might in some cases be ethically accepta

7、ble to clone existing people. One possibility is generating a replacement for a dying relative. All such possibilities, however, raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete inddividual, because he or she would likely be subjected to limitation and expectation based on t

8、he family s knowledge of the genetic “twin. Those expectations might be false, because human personality is only partly determined by genes. The clone of an extrovert( 性格外向的人 ) could have a quite different way of behavior. Clones of athletes, movie stars, entrepreneurs or scientists might well choos

9、e different careers because of chance events in early life. Some people have also put forward the notion that couples in which one member is infertile might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner. But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a c

10、opy of just one of them. Because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility, conventional therapeutic avenues seem more appropriate. None of the suggested uses of cloning for making copies of existing people is ehically acceptable to my way of thinking, because t

11、hey are not in the interests of the resulting child. It should go without saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors. It nonetheless seems clear that cloning from cultured cells will offer important medical opportunities. Predictio

17、30 are based on the following passage: The interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may determine whether or not you get the particular job you want.

21、ow the inerviewer that you are interested in the company by asking relevant questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunities and fringe benefits( 附加福利 ) of the job you are interviewing for.

22、 discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.
