　　AThere are three reasons why I don’t think that we are ready for cloning. Firstly, we don’t know exactly what the consequences of cloning would be. For example, if scientists cloned a man, they might know what he would look like, but they wouldn’t know his dominant traits. What would happen if scientists cloned another Hitler or others like him? Do you really think we would survive if this became a reality?

　　Secondly, cloning raises many ethical questions. Look back at the cloned man I presented and ask yourself these questions:

　　“Do you really think that he would be a man? ”

　　“Who would be responsible for him? ”

　　“Do you think he should have the same rights as we have? ”

　　I don’t think that we can answer these questions now.

　　Lastly, we don’t know exactly what the meaning of life is. In my opinion, creating life is the duty of nature, and we must not interfere with that task because we can’t understand the extremely complicated relationships among lives that are defined by nature. Usually these relationships are extremely complex. Sometimes, they seem to be so untouchable that they cannot be changed. From my point of view, we have to look at the natural environment around us. We can see that an ecosystem(生态系统)is composed of a lot of different kinds of life, and each life has its own function within the system. If we interfere with that, I think it could lead to our extinction.

　　Even though cloning may have a lot of benefits for humans, I think we should stop cloning because we do not understand it and can’t control all of its effects. Maybe in the future, we will be ready to do it, but that time has not yet arrived. (298W)

　　1. According to the author, we are not ready for cloning because　.

　　A. two or more people would have the same appearance

　　B. scientists wouldn’t be sure about the personalities of the cloned people

　　C. people may not function properly if there are more cloned human beings

　　D. cloning has not been permitted by the government

　　2. According to the author, ethical questions refer to　.

　　A. the rights and responsibilities of the government

　　B. the relationships among people

　　C. whether a person’s personality is good or not

　　D. the education and academic qualifications of a person

　　3. According to the passage, what’s the author’s attitude towards cloning?

　　A. Positive.

　　B. Critical.

　　C. Indifferent.

　　D. Ironic.

　　4. Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?

　　A. To Clone or Not

　　B. Why Should We Stop Cloning?

　　C. A Scientific Research on Cloning

　　D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Cloning

　　B

　　Look closely at your hands—are they clean? It doesn’t matter how many times you wash your hands, they’re still crowded with microbes, which are also called “germs” or “bacteria”. Microbes are everywhere. But don’t worry—most microbes don’t harm you, and many actually help you stay alive.

　　Now, scientists say the microbes that live on our hands could be useful in a surprising way: fighting crime.

　　When the police visit the scene of a crime, they often look for fingerprints to try to identify the criminal. But according to a recent study, investigators could even use microbes to help break a criminal case.

　　Every person has his or her own set of microbes that live on their hands, according to scientists at the University of Colorado. That means the mix of different kinds of microbes on everybody’s hands is unique—much like one’s fingerprints.

　　The scientists wanted to know whether this microbe mix could be used as a new kind of fingerprint—especially in a crime scene where fingerprints might be hard to find. And policemen use forensics such as studying fingerprints to identify the criminal.

　　“Microbe fingerprints are harder to hide, ”said Noah Fierer, one of the scientists, “You can’t sterilize(杀菌)a surface just by wiping it off. ”

　　His team compared the bacteria on the hands of 273 people to the bacteria found on each person’s computer keyboard. For the study, the keyboards had been used only by the people who were being tested. The study showed that the mix of microbes from each person’s hands matched the mix of microbes on that person’s keyboard. The scientists were easily able to tell the 273 people apart—just by looking at their keyboards.

　　But there are a lot more than 273 criminals. Other scientists wonder whether the microbe fingerprint can really be that useful.

　　Fierer agrees that scientists have a lot more work to do before the microbe fingerprint will be a useful tool. (320W)

　　5. The underlined word “forensics” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to　.

　　A. a new kind of fingerprint

　　B. the scientific test used by the police

　　C. a kind of bacteria on people’s hands

　　D. a kind of newly invented keyboard

　　6. What did Fierer’ s team find through the study?

　　A. They could tell who had used which computer.

　　B. They found the criminal among the 273 people.

　　C. Computer keyboards couldn’t keep people’s microbe fingerprints.

　　D. People’s hands could be identified by the keyboards they used.

　　7. We learn from the passage that　.

　　A. the microbe fingerprint has been used in many cases

　　B. many scientists think microbe fingerprints useless

　　C. scientists will come to a clear conclusion soon

　　D. your microbes may give you away

　　8. The passage is mainly about　.

　　A. the importance of fingerprints

　　B. how to clean our hands

　　C. different germs on our hands

　　D. the usefulness of microbes

　　3.【解析】选D。考查suspect的用法。句意: 没有人想和这个被怀疑偷钱的学生交朋友。suspect sb. of. . . “怀疑某人……”。suspected of having stolen money为过去分词短语作后置定语。

　　I failed in the exam again. How I wish I　my parents’ advice to study hard.

　　A. have broken down B. have broken out

　　13.【解析】选A。考查状语从句的省略。while discussing the matter相当于while the students were discussing the matter, 省略了主语和be。

　　【知识拓展】

　　状语从句的省略

　　一般说来省略现象多出现在下列五种状语从句中: 由when, while, as, before, after, till, until, once等引导的时间状语从句; 由whether, if, unless等引导的条件状语从句; 由though, although, even if, whatever等引导的让步状语从句; 由as, than等引导的比较状语从句; 由as, as if, as though等引导的方式状语从句。上述状语从句在省略时, 并非任何成分都可以省略而是遵循下面原则:

　　(1)当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致且从句中含有动词be时, 可以省略状语从句的主语和动词be, 只剩下主要的部分。例如:

　　Once(he was)a worker, Pang Long now becomes a famous singer.

　　庞龙曾经是个工人, 现在成了一位著名的歌手。

　　He looked everywhere as if(he was)in search of something.

　　他到处看, 似乎在找什么东西。

　　The exhibition is more interesting than(it was)expected.

　　这次展览比预料的有趣得多。

　　(2)当从句的主语是it, 谓语动词中又含有系动词be时, 可以把it和系动词be一起省略。此时构成连词(if, unless, when, whenever)+形容词的结构。例如:

　　Unless(it is)necessary, you’d better not refer to the dictionary.

　　如果没有必要, 你最好不要查词典。

　　14.【解析】选B。考查虚拟语气。句意: 如果我们早点采取有效措施的话, 现在这条河就不会污染得这么严重了。根据now可知, 主句为与现在事实相反的虚拟语气, 所以用would do的形式, 故选B。

　　15.【解析】选D。考查动词短语辨析。句意: 在英国你无论计划干什么事都不要指望会碰上好天气。rely on依赖, 依靠, 符合句意。hold on握住, 坚持; insist on坚持; put on举办, 上演, 穿上。

　　Ⅱ.

　　本文从三个方面阐述了应该停止克隆的原因。

　　1.【解析】选B。推理判断题。从第一段中“For example, if scientists cloned a man, they might know what he would look like, but they wouldn’t know his dominant traits. ”可知答案。

　　2.【解析】选A。细节理解题。可从第二个原因的三个问题中总结出来。

　　3.【解析】选B。观点态度题。根据全文内容可知, 作者并不赞成克隆, 对此持批评态度。

　　4.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。通读全文可知, 全文主要从三个方面讲述了我们为什么要停止克隆, 所以答案选B项。

　　最近一项科学研究表明, 每个人手上的细菌群落都是独一无二的, 就像人的指纹一样, 可以用来侦破案件。

　　5.【解析】选B。词义猜测题。由第五段中画线单词后面的句子“为辨认罪犯所进行的指纹研究是一种forensics”可推断画线单词最有可能的意思是“警察用的一种科学检测”。

　　6.【解析】选A。细节理解题。由第七段的实验结果The scientists were easily able to tell the 273 people apart. . . 可判断, 科学家通过比对电脑键盘上与人手上的细菌群落可以判断哪个人使用过哪台电脑。

　　7.【解析】选D。推理判断题。本文主要说明每个人手上的细菌群落都是独一无二的, 就像人的指纹一样, 因此很可能会暴露一个人的身份, 故选D项。

　　8.【解析】选D。主旨大意题。本文第二段点出了文章的主旨: 手上的细菌群落可能有助于打击犯罪, 接下来介绍了这方面的相关研究, 故选D项。

　　【语篇随练】

　　在我看来, 创造生命是大自然的职责, 而我们不能干涉那项任务, 因为我们不明白大自然界定的生命间极其复杂的关系。
