20、节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）第一节 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，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。 ARecently there was a major discovery in the scientific researchthe mapping of all DNA in a human gene（基因）is complete. Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish. All this progress in science le
21、ads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away. Human cloning has always been a topic of argument，in terms of morality or religion.Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of pass
22、ing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning. If the clone was free of genetic limitations, then the other clones would be as well. The latter could be inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen. Moreover，cloning would enable women, who cant get pregnant, to have children of their o
23、wn.Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs. This, surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single(or more) organ(s）.It is also a
24、rguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side. Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal “cycle”of life. There would be a large number
25、of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement，and, in turn, development-the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment. Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance. Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each
26、 one of us possesses disappear, thus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and chances are that those individuals would be regarded as “objects” rather than people in the society.Scientists havent 100 percent guaranteed that the first cloned will be no
27、rmal. Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human “gene-pool”.Regarding such arguable topics in “black or white” approach seems very innocent to me personally. We should rather try to look at all “shades” of it. I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is
28、 for cloning organs, not humans. Then we could regard this as for “saving life” instead of “creating life”. I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.41. Which of the following is true according to the passage？ A. Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women B. A large nu
29、mber of genes will prevent us from developing C. Prohibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists D. First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists42. Whats the authors opinion on cloning? A. Cloning should be entirely banned B. Cloning should be used in creating life C. Clo

In a science fiction D. In a brochure44. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage (- stand for Para.1 -Par

35、for two yearsWe provide them with a whole host of tools to carry out their projects including funding and intensive training She addedCoral reefs are the planets most diverse marine ecosystem（生态系统）, known as the rainforests of the oceansDespite taking up under 02% of the ocean floor, they provide fo

43、e British arent having as many children as they used to. One reason is that people are having children much older than before, meaning they have fewer years in which they can have them. After years at university, they need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want. They mi
44、ght then get married, but its incredibly expensive to buy a house in the UK. The above explains why young British people now dont move out of their parents home until they are around 30 years old on average. It is not until they are 30 that they can afford their own home. Increasingly, it is not unt
45、il that age that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home. Its only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child. So a British person manages to get a job, get a home and get married. Why isnt he or she then having at least two children on average? The main reason is that it is quite expensive to bring up a child in the UK. Why is it expensive? Well, these days, both parents need to work just to pay for their home and living expenses. Because both parents are at work, that means they then need to pay someone to look after th
