　　.阅读理解

　　A

　　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 experiment was 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 children would feel they were some sort of a replacement for something.

　　1．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

　　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

　　3．The underlined word “identical” probably means “

　　”．

　　A．same

　　B．special

　　C．new

　　D．clear

　　答案　A

　　解析　词义猜测题。依据第二段中的“...doctors would therefore simply be ‘copying what nature has already produced’．”可知，医生只是复制已经存在的人，故选A项。

　　A．The life of Sir John.

　　The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for the children.A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties，and would be likely to have seven or eight children，four or five of whom lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty­five years and can expect to live another thirty­five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has to take care of children，her work is lightened by modern living conditions.

　　This important change in women’s life­patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls took a full­time job after they left school.However，when they married，they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school­leaving age is sixteen，and many girls stay at school after that age，and though women usually marry older，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Many more afterwards return to full­or­part­time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life，and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money，and running the home，according to the abilities and interests of each of them.

　　5．At what age did most women marry around the 1890’s according to the passage?

　　A．At about twenty­five.

　　B．In their early fifties.

　　C．At the age of fifteen.

　　D．At any age from fifteen to forty­five.

　　答案　A

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties...”可知，在19世纪晚期，大部分妇女在25岁左右结婚，因此选A。

　　6．What happened to an ordinary family in about 1900?

　　A．The youngest child could live to fifteen.

　　B．Four of five children died after they were five.

　　C．Seven or eight children lived to more than five.

　　D．Some children died when they were very young.

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...and would be likely to have seven or eight children，four or five of whom lived till they were five years old.”可知，一个女人结婚后可能会有七个或八个孩子，但是他们中有四个或五个活到五岁时就死去了。故选D项。

　　7．When she was over fifty，a late nineteenth­century mother

　　.

　　A．was usually expected to die very soon

　　B．would expect to work until she died

　　C．would be healthy enough to take up paid jobs

　　D．was less likely to find a job even if she wanted to

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work.”可知，在19世纪末，50多岁的母亲因为健康问题不太可能找到工作。故选D项。

　　8．What do we know from the passage?

　　A．Husbands and wives share equal responsibilities at home now.

　　B．More and more women are looked down upon by husbands.

　　C．Today women prefer to get married rather than get jobs.

　　D．A husband plays a greater part in looking after the children.

　　答案　A
