答案： B阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：科普文 话题：科学世界 词数：360 时间：7′
Sir John，a British scientist who won last year's Nobel Prize for medicine，said he had predicted at the time of his frog experiments that the successful cloning of a mammal would happen within 50 years，and that “maybe the same answer is appropriate” for the step to human cloning.Parents who lose children in accidents may be able to clone “copies” to replace them then.
Although any attempt to clone an entire human would raise complex moral issues，the biologist claimed people would soon overcome their concerns if the technique became medically useful.Cloning was regarded with extreme doubts when it was first developed but became widely accepted after the birth of Louise Brown，the first “test tube baby”．He said，“When my first frog experiments were done，an American reporter asked how long it will be before these things can be done in mammals or humans.I said，‘Well，it could be anywhere between 10 years and 100 years—how about 50 years？’It turned out that it wasn't far off the mark as far as Dolly was concerned.Maybe the same answer is appropriate.”Sir John added that cloning a human being effectively means making an identical twin，and doctors would therefore simply be “copying what nature has already produced”．
The average vote on allowing parents of deceased children，who are no longer fertile(能生育的)，to create another using the mother's eggs and skin cells from the first child，thinking the technique was safe and effective，is 60 per cent in favor.The reasons for “no” are usually that the new child would feel they were some sort of a replacement for something.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇科普说明文。主要介绍了克隆人类或在未来50年内变成现实。

A．100 years

B．Human cloning is still a controversial topic.

答案D [细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“became widely accepted after the birth of Louise Brown，the first ‘test tube baby’”可知，Louise Brown是第一个试管婴儿，所以A项正确；根据第二段第一句中的“Although any attempt to clone an entire human would raise complex moral issues”可知，克隆人类仍然是一个存B项正确；根据第二段Sir John所说的话“Well，it could be anywhere between...how about 50 years？”可知，他对未来克隆人类的发展是肯定的，所以C项正确。根据第二段最后一句“...doctors would therefore simply be ‘copying what nature has already produced’．”可知，克隆人类是复制已存在的人类，所以D项不正确。故选D。]
3．The underlined word “identical” probably means ________．

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：记叙文 话题：顺便造访 词数：370 时间：7′
I recently ran into a friend I hadn't seen for a long while.Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides.Before we parted she said，“You'll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in”，I would take my friend by surprise，and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway，staring at me，and asking，“Oh，er...what brings you here？”
Whatever happened to the unannounced dropin visit？When I was growing up in the 1960s，it seemed that people mostly relatives，but also friends were always popping__in．My parents would put coffee on，and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it.Then the conversation would begin...The neighbor lady，a worrier，was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened.The Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spoke.My Polish relatives arrived in packs...But I never heard my parents say anything like “We weren't expecting you” or “This isn't a good time.” Dropin visitors had a certain right of way and became No.1.
What has happened to such visits？Actually I know the answer.Times have changed.Everybody gets busy with work.There is no longer a stayathome mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest.Booming malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment.
Just the other day a former student of mine showed up.“I'm sorry for the surprise visit.” My student began.“I just wanted to see if you still lived here.I'll only stay a minute.”
My response was immediate.“No，you won't，”
I said.“Just come in，sit，have coffee，and we'll talk.”
I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza.And we had a lovely time.I have tried to keep the dropin tradition alive though it takes some effort.

A．a kind of politeness
B．an excuse of leaving
C．a nice way of refusal
D．an expression of surprise
答案 A [推理判断题。由文中第一段第三句话“作者立刻感觉到如果自己真的顺便造访他的朋友，朋友会吓一跳，看着我问‘你有什么事么’”。可知作者的朋友并不是要邀请作者顺便造访，而是一句礼貌的回应。]
2．The underlined phrase “popping in” in the second paragraph means ________．
A．making many friends
B．paying a sudden visit
C．having a good time
D．making a special date
答案 B [词义猜测题。由前文可知，popping in指的是dropin visit，B。]
．The woman from the neighborhood used to visit the author's home to ________．

2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。【题文】AWe all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.
Twenty stories later, though, it’s the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness—and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That’s the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor. Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick she couldn’t watch TV.
Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor want it to be.
Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.
In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even thought it turns out that Kathy’s cancer has not spread, and her prognosis(诊断) is good, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.
I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes(雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is we’re living for.
1. As a photographer, the author used to ______.
A. leave his daughter with a pack of gray wolves.
B. express his love for his family in a special way.
C. miss a great many important historical moments.
D. devote much more to his career than his family.
2. Why did the author decide to stop taking pictures?
A. To cure his own disease.
B. To spend more time with his wife.
C. To seek a better position.
D. To leave the wildness alone.
3. What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author?
A. He treasured every bit of time with his family.
B. He has become a stranger to his children.
C. He takes his work more seriously.
D. He focuses more on medical care.
4. The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because______.
A. the snowflakes taste very good.
B. snowflakes are what they feed on.
C. they regard that as a way to enjoy life.
D. there is beautiful light in the snowflakes.
