　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　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。

　　21．Sir John predicted the human cloning would be a reality in ________ at most.

　　A．100 years

　　B．60 years

　　C．50 years

　　D．10 years

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“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”可知，克隆人类或在未来50年内变成现实。故选C。]

　　22．According to the text，which statement is NOT true?

　　A．Louise Brown is the first “test tube baby”．

　　B．Human cloning is still a controversial topic.

　　C．Sir John is positive about the future of human cloning.

　　D．Human cloning is creating something that didn't exist before.

　　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。]

　　23．The underlined word “identical” probably means ________．

　　A．same

　　B．special

　　C．new

　　D．clear

　　答案　A　[词义猜测题。根据本句中的“copying what nature has already produced”可知，identical意为“相同的，完全同样的”。故选A。]

　　24．What does the text mainly talk about?

　　A．The life of Sir John.

　　B．Prediction on human cloning.

　　C．Views on human cloning.

　　D．Achievements in human cloning.

　　答案　B　[主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，Sir John预测克隆人类或在未来50年内变成现实，所以整篇文章在说明对克隆人类的预测。故选B。]

　　B

　　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.

　　【语篇解读】　文章说明了顺便造访现象已经变得很少见，并分析了其中原因，分享了作者对此现象的一些感受。

　　25．The author regarded his friend's invitation—“ You'll have to drop in sometime” as ________．

　　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。]

　　26．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。]

　　27．The woman from the neighborhood used to visit the author's home to ________．

　　A．meet new friends

　　B．seek comfort from my parents

　　C．listen to my parents' story

　　D．taste nice dishes

　　答案　B　[

　　28．From the third paragraph of the passage，we can infer that ________．

　　A．modern people prefer outdoor activities

　　B．unexpected visitors are still welcome now

　　C.the author misses the lost good days

　　D．there are more jobs for the housewives now

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。通读

　　A．encourage people to be drop­in visitors

　　B．explain how to deal with unexpected visitors

　　C．show the importance of making friends

　　D．share his feelings about the drop­in tradition

　　答案　D　[主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段讲述了自己的亲身经历，感叹顺便造访现象现在已非常少见，第二段回忆了作者以前的美好生活，第三段分析了造成这种现象减少的原因，人们忙于工作忽视了人与人之间的交往，剩余部分讲述了一位学生顺便造访作者且二

　　Ⅲ.下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题(第30～34题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中选出适合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

　　A．Make sure the respondent has enough information

　　B．Remember your survey's purpose

　　C．Keep your questions simple

　　D．Include only one topic per question

　　E．If in doubt，throw it out

　　F．Avoid leading questions

　　Write more effective survey questions

　　Naturally，no question is “good” in all situations，but there are some general rules to follow.Using these rules and examples will help you write useful questions.

　　30．________

　　All other rules and guidelines are based on this one.There was a reason you decided to spend your time and money to do your survey，and you should ensure that every question you ask supports that reason.If you start to get lost while writing your questions，refer back to this rule.

　　31．________

　　This is another way of stating the first rule，but it is important enough to repeat.A question should never be included in a survey because you can't think of a good reason to keep it.If you cannot come up with a concrete benefit that will result from the question，don't use it.

　　32．________

　　Compound sentences force respondents to keep a lot of information in their heads，and are likely to produce unpredictable results.Example：“Imagine a situation where the production supervisor is away from the line，a series of defective parts is being manufactured，and you just heard that a new client requires ten thousand of these parts in order to make their production schedule.How empowered do you feel by your organization to stop the line and make the repairs to the manufacturing equipment？” This question is too complex for a clear，usable answer.Try breaking it down into components parts.

　　33．________

　　How would you interpret the responses to “Please rate your satisfaction with the amount and kind of care you received while in the hospital.” or，a question asking about speed and accuracy？If you want to be able to come up with specific recommended actions，you need specific questions.

　　34．________

　　Asking respondents “How effective has this company's new distribution program been？” may not be as effective as “Recently，we used a new distribution system.Did you know this？” followed by “Have you seen any positive benefits resulting from this change？” It can be beneficial to break down questions that require background information into two parts：a screening item describing the situation which asks if the respondent knows about it，and a follow－up question addressing attitudes the respondent has about the topic.

　　答案　30.B　31.E　32.C　33.D　34.A
