24、om completion.Dr. Richard Seed, one of the leading proponents (支持者) of human cloning technology, suggests that it may someday be possible to reverse the aging process because of what we learn from cloning.Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy
25、 heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged. Heart disease is the number one killer in the 6United States and several other industrialized countries.There has been a breakthrough with human stem cells. Embryonic (胚胎的) stem cells can be grown to produce organs t
26、o repair or replace damaged ones. Skin for burn victims, brain cells for the brain damaged, hearts, lungs, livers, and kidneys could be produced. By combining this technology with human cloning technology it may be possible to produce needed organs for suffering people that will be free of rejection
27、 by their immune systems. Conditions such as Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, diabetes, heart failure, and other problems may be made curable if human cloning and its technology are not banned.Despite getting a fair amount of publicity in the news current treatments for infertility (不生育),in t
28、erms of percentages, are not very successful. One estimate is that current infertility treatments are less than 10 percent successful.

32、 The News Is Not Telling the TruthC. With Cloning, Infertile Couples Could Have ChildrenD. Treatment of Infertility Is Not SuccessfulD DDecision-makingDecision-making underunder StressStressA new review based on a research shows that acute (严重的) stress affects the way the brain considers the advanta
33、ges and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better ab
34、out positive than negative outcomes under stress.”For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images (影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front
35、 of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadnt gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not
36、 surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences r
37、emembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be 8di
38、fferent.Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to
39、slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction. 33. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to _.
40、A. keep rewards better in their memory B. recall consequences more effortlesslyC. make risky decisions more frequentlyD. learn a subject more effectively34. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their _.A. tolerance of punishmentsB. preference for pleasureC. ways of makin
41、g choices D. responses to suggestions35. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, _.A. women find it easier to fall into certain habits B. men are more likely to take risksC. women focus more on outcomesD. men have a greater tendency to slow down第二节第二节 (共(共 5 5 小题;每小题小题;每小题 2 2 分,满分分,满
