Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
A Tour City—Pompeii
Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii,Italy.They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for its stadium(运动场)and theatres,its shops and restaurants.The tourists do not,however,see Pompeii's people.They do not see them because Pompeii has no people.No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.
Once,Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people.It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius,a grass-covered volcano(火山).Mount Vesuvius had not erupted(喷发)for centuries,so the people of Pompeii felt safe.But they were not.
In August of AD 79,Mount Vesuvius erupted.The entire top of the mountain exploded,and a huge black cloud rose into the air.Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii.When the eruption ended two days later,Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes.Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries,Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash.Then,in the year 1861,an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii.Slowly,carefully,Ginseppe and his men dug.The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79.There were streets and fountains,houses and shops.There was a stadium with 20,000 seats.Perhaps the most important of all,there were everyday objects,which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii.Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom,so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine.They liked bread too.Metal bread pans were in every bakery.In one bakery there were 81 round,flat loaves of bread—a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today.Tiny boxes filled with a dark,shiny power tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
Ginseppe has died,but his work continues.One-fourth has not been uncovered yet.Scientists are still digging,still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
36.Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A.To visit the volcano.
B.To shop and eat there.
C.To watch sports and plays.
D.To see how Pompeiians lived.
37.Why had so many people remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A.The city nearly offered all kinds of fun.
B.The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C.Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D.The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
38.Why did the city uncovered look almost the smae as it had looked in AD 79?
A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B.Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C.Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
D.Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
39.What's the meaning of the underlined word“exploded”in the third paragraph?
A.爆发 B.震动
C.倒塌 D.爆裂
40.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago?
A.They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.
B.They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.

Falkland Island Wolves were the largest land mammal that has died out in the last 200 years.These unique creatures were not like the wolf found in North America but were quite different.It is only recently that the true facts behind this species have been found out.
Being on the southern tip of South America the Falkland Islands received few visitors.Thus even though the first sighting of the wolves was in the year 1692,they remained very common and tame until the settlers that finally settled on the Falklands viewed the wolves as a pest and organized attempts to poison and kill them.The last Falkland Island Wolf was shot by a hunter in 1876.
The Falkland Islands lie about 500 miles from the mainland of South America.This prevents the spread of many species to it.This allowed the wolf to develop quickly and have no innate fear of humans since they had no contact with man.They were the top predators(食肉动物)in their environment and as such unafraid of anything.
But how did the wolf make it to the islands?Many theories have been put forward but most biologists find the following two the most possible.First, there is the theory that former human inhabitants who had died or left brought the wolves to the islands.Others support the theory that the wolves found their way to the islands from a land bridge or floating ices.Recent further examinations showed that the closest relative of the Falkland Island Wolf separated from them about 6.7 million years ago.This puts the two species in North America due to the fact that canid(犬科动物)fossils have only been found in the Falkland Islands from around 3 million years ago.This gives a heavy blow to the human transportation theory due to the fact that humans have only been concretely documented in South America since around 62,000 years ago.
Humanity seldom realizes they have lost something special until it is already gone.This is the case of the Falkland Island Wolf.
41.What do we learn about Falkland Island Wolves?
A.They were like the wolves in North America.
B.They died out because of the destroyed environment.
C.They weren't like modern wolves and they were tame.
D.They were the largest land mammal in the islands.
42.Falkland Island Wolves were the top predators there mainly because ________.
A.they have no competition with other species
B.they were larger than North American wolves
C.they were very good at catching animals
D.there were no other predators there
43.The underlined word“innate”in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to“________”.
A.immediate B.born
C.particular D.severe
44.Which of the following statements about Falkland Island Wolves is NOT supported by the author?
A.Ancient people brought them to the islands.
B.They went to the islands by a land bridge.
C.People aren't sure how the wolves went to the islands.
D.They arrived at the islands on floating ices.
45.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Most people believe Falkland Island Wolves evolved from dogs.
B.Falkland Island Wolves have lived in North America for 30,000 years.
C.Humans regret the extinction of the Falkland Island Wolf.
D.The islands were joined to South America 62,000 yars ago.

More than half of Americans do not take all their vacation days,even though they think they need a holiday more this year than last.And nearly a third of workers who do take a break check in with work every other day and some keep in touch hourly,according to a new survey.
“We're workaholics(工作狂),”said Samuel Nahmias,vice president of research firm StudyLogic.“From a general perspective this has a lot to do with the economic situation in the US.More and more people are unemployed.”
With jobless numbers staying at 9.6 percent people who have jobs seem to be unwilling to take time off.“It is not a great picture and that affects vacations.People are not going on vacation as much and those that are going on vacation are being more selective about where they are going.”Nahmias explained.
Unlike European countries where four or more weeks of holiday each year is normal,27 percent of people questioned in the poll said they had six to ten days of annual leave and 20 percent had less than three days.With more people on the unemployment lists, those still with jobs are facing more responsibility at work,which is reflected in their lack of time off.
The majority of workers who did not take time off mentioned too many responsibilities or stress at work,while some people said they simply did not have the time to plan a holiday.“People are more conscious of what they are doing and when they are going on vacation because they don't want to look bad in this situation,”Nahmias explained.
Technology is also playing a part with smartphones enabling workers to keep in contact in ways that were not possible before.It has to do with technology and the level of concern about what is going on in the office.
46.Americans don't take all their vacation days because ________.
A.they have been tired of taking holidays
B.they are afraid of losing their jobs
C.they want to contact their bosses closely
D.they prefer to work rather than rest
47.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A.Traveling can make unemployed people feel relaxed.
B.People are unwilling to go on short vacations.
C.The high unemployment rate causes people not to take vacations.
D.People are more selective about their jobs.
48.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Americans are under more pressure in their work than before.
B.The economic situation in Europe is better than that in America.
C.Americans are more hard-working than Europeans.
D.People in countries with lower unemployment rates spend longer vacations.
49.Most American workers are cautious even when taking vacations because ________.
A.they have a lot of work undone
B.they are more concerned about their duties
C.they can be reached by phones even if on vacation
D.they want to make a good impression on their
employers
50.What's the passage mainly about?
A.Most Americans are workaholics.
B.Many Americans don't take vacations.
C.Unemployment is going from bad to worse.
D.Pressure of work leads to quitting.
D
Cancer sufferers could be treated with immune cells(免疫细胞)from donors resistant to the disease.US scientists say they have been given the permission by the authorities to test experimental treatment on humans.
Zheng Cui and his colleagues at Wake Forest University of Medicine in Winston-Salem,North Carolina,have received permission from the Food and Drug Administration to screen people for their ability to avoid cancer.
Immune cells from the best cancer fighters will be given to cancer patients,after being matched for the blood type,the scientists said.
The scientists have discovered that a much larger population of immune cells called granulocytes(粒性白细胞)can also kill cancer and they have shown that immune cells from some people may effectively fight cancer in others.
The researchers took blood samples from more than 100 people and mixed their granulocytes with cervical cancer cells.Granulocytes from one person killed around 97 percent of cancer cells within 24 hours.However,only around 2 percent of cancer cells were killed by those from another healthy individual.
Last year,however,the scientists successfully treated a range of different cancers in mice by injecting them with granulocytes from a group of mice that are completely resistant to cancer.
“Our pre-clinical tests have been successful.If this is half as effective in humans as it is in mice it could be that half of patients could be cured or at least given one to two years extra of high-quality life,”Cui was quoted as saying.
Everyone has some ability to fight cancer through immune cells called NK cells,which can identify and kill tumors(肿瘤)—although the extent of theses cells' influence is not known.Cells' ability to kill cancer appeared to be lower in blood samples taken from people over the age of 50 and even lower in people with cancer.It also fell when people were under stress and during winter,according to the scientists.
51.What do we know from the passage?
A.Granulocytes from one person may be used to fight cancer in others.
B.Immune cells from people resistant to cancer can be given to any cancer patients.
C.A lot of cancer sufferers have been successfully cured with the help of immune cells.
D.As long as cancer patients have the same blood type with cancer fighters,they can be cured.
52.In order to treat cancer sufferers,scientists should get immune cells from ________.
A.healthy mice
B.patients who just get cancer
C.healthy people
D.the best cancer fighters
53.What does the underlined word“those”in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Blood samples. B.Granulocytes.
C.Individuals. D.Cancer cells.
54.What do we know from Cui's words in Paragraph 7?
A.The tests to people have been proved successful.
B.The new way can only cure half of human patients.
C.The finding may be very useful in treating cancer.
D.Not everybody can fight cancer through NK cells.
55.In which column of a magazine can you most probably find this passage?
A.Science. B.Nature.
C.Life. D.History.

Happiness is contagious,_researchers reported on Thursday.
People with the most social connections—spouses, friends, neighbors and relatives—were also the happiest, the data showed. “Each additional happy person makes you happier,” Christakis said.
“Imagine that I am connected to you and you are connected to others and others are connected to still others. It is this fabric of humanity, like an American patch quilt.”
Each person sits on a different colored patch. “Imagine that these patches are happy and unhappy patches. Your happiness depends on what is going on in the patch around you,” Christakis said.
“It is not just happy people connecting with happy people, which they do. Above and beyond, there is this contagious process going on.”
And happiness is more contagious than unhappiness, they discovered.
“If a social contact is happy, it increases the likelihood that you are happy by 15 percent,” Fowler said. “A friend of a friend, or the friend of a spouse or a sibling (兄弟姐妹), if they are happy, increases your chances by 10 percent,” he added.
A happy third degree friend—the friend of a friend—increases a person's chances of being happy by 6 percent.
“But every extra unhappy friend increases the likelihood that you'll be unhappy by 7 percent,” Fowler said.
“The finding is interesting and it is useful, too,” Fowler said.
“Among other benefits, happiness has been shown to have an important effect on reduced mortality (死亡率), pain reduction, and improved cardiac (心脏的) fun_ction. So better understanding of how happiness spreads can help us learn how to promote a healthier society,” he said.
The study also fits in with other data suggested in 1984 that having $ 5,000 extra increased a person's chances of becoming happier by about 2 percent.
“A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000,” Christakis said.
1.According to the research, your happiness ________.
A.has nothing to do with your workmates or schoolmates
B.has something to do with anyone who has a close relationship with you
C.depends on those who are in favour of you or are against you
D.has little to do with what social connections you have
2.The underlined word “contagious” in the first paragraph means ________.
A.infectious B.beautiful
C.effective D.prior
3.It can be inferred that________.
A.happiness spreads as fast and widely as unhappiness
B.unhappiness spreads faster and more widely than happiness
C.happiness spreads faster and more widely than unhappiness
D.the spread of unhappiness has not been studied by researchers
4.Which of the following will increase your chances of becoming happier most?
A.Being in a party with a happy atmosphere.
B.A happy experience of your brother or your parents.
C.A happy trip to a foreign country of your friends.
D.Happiness of your friend's friend.
5.What does Christakis mean by saying “A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000” ?
A.A happy friend can help you bring in a wealth of $20,000.
B.A happy friend is a wealth which is worth about $20,000.
C.A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 2%.
D.A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 8%.

3.B 句意:数十名高级足球官员、裁判员和队员受贿一事使大家感到非常厌恶。disgust意为“使厌恶”,符合句意。
4.A 句意:虽然建于100年前,但这桥还是很牢固。although引导的从句完整形式应为Although it was built 100 years ago,因为从句中的主语与主句主语一致,且有be动词,可省略从句中的主语和be动词,故A项正确。
5.C 句意:Jose窝起两只手掌,掩住嘴巴,害怕被人看到他在哭泣。for fear that意为“唯恐,怕的是,以防”,符合句意。so that以便;now that既然;on condition that倘若,如果。
6.C 句意:他已经去北京了。我要是去车站送他就好了,但我太忙了。wish后面的宾语从句用虚拟语气。根据后句可知与过去事实相反,用过去完成时或could/would have done。
7.A 句意:任何拒绝提供帮助的人将不会得到别人的帮助。refuse意为“拒绝”;offer意为“提供”;agree意为“同意”;promise意为“答应”。
8.A 句意:看见惊恐万状的人们试图从着火的房子里逃走,他站在那里,吓坏了。第一空用terrified作定语,修饰people,意为“惊恐万状的人们”;第二空用terrified作状语,说明主语的特征或状态。
9.A It's generally agreed that...意为“一般认为;普遍认为”。it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面that引导的从句。句意:人们普遍认为有学历有经验的人应该给予较好的工作。
10.C 句意:布朗一家正在吃饭,这时电话突然响起来了。“be doing sth....when...”是并列连词when的一个固定句式,意思为“正在做某事,突然……”,答案为C。
11.A 句意:我们需要催促一下那些未付款的会员。chase up催促;chase after追赶;chase off赶出去;chase away驱逐,赶走。根据句意选A。
12.C 考查非谓语动词。句意:实验表明,适当的锻炼,如果有规律地进行的话,能增进我们的身体健康。if与过去分词连用作状语,句子的主语是动作的承受者,因此选C。
13.B emotion指人们对该消息的客观反应。句意:听到这个消息,他对自己的情绪失去了控制。
14.A refuse可为不及物动词,表示“拒绝”;reject为及物动词,表示“拒绝接受”;receive表示“收到”。
15.B 由句意可知,此处指“差别,对比”。contrast可以作名词表示此意,而compare作名词指“无可比拟,无可匹配。”
Ⅲ.1.B 美国航空航天管理局招收宇航员,年龄在20-35岁之间。between...and在……之间。
2.A 招收人员做宇航员,所选人当然以技术熟练,擅长航空的人为主。

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】 美国科学家的一项最新研究成果表明,快乐感可以互相传递。这项研究成果为我们构建更为健康、和谐的社会提供了依据和方法。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第二段、第三段内容可知,快乐感会不断传递和扩散,你的配偶、朋友、邻居、亲戚等的快乐指数会直接影响你的快乐程度,故选B。
2.A 词义猜测题。第一句是全文的主题句。由文章第二、三、四段可知,快乐感可以在人们之间传播,故contagious的意思是“有感染力的,有传染性的”。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第六段“And happiness is more contagious than unhappiness,they discovered.”一句可推知选C。
4.A 事实细节题。根据第七、第八段讲述的别人的快乐感对你的影响几率可知,排在最前的是“If a social contact is happy”,故选A。
5.D 句意理解题。结合上一段中的“that having $5,000 extra increased a person's chances of becoming happier by about 2 percent”可知,一个快乐的朋友带给你的快乐相当于大约$20,000带给你的快乐,也就是$5,000的四倍,即一个快乐的朋友给你带来快乐的几率为8%。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
“I've never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It's a stupid endeavor.” That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year—or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.
Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.
Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin's phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy's mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. He's plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy's fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”
The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin's work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we're not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”
1.Mr. Westhusin thinks cloning is dangerous because________.
A.animals are tortured to death in the experiments
B.the public has expressed strong disapproval
C.too many lives are wasted for laboratory use
D.cloning becomes a quest only for profit
2.What is the problem confronting the Missyplicity project?
A.The client holds a suspicious view toward it.
B.There is a lack of funds to support the research.

3.Which of the following is true about animal cloning?
A.Few private cloning companies could afford it.
B.Few people have realized its significance.
C.An exact copy of a cat or bull can be made.
D.It is becoming a prosperous industry.
4.From the passage we can infer that________.
A.Mr. Westhusin is going to clone a dog soon
B.scientists are pessimistic about human cloning
C.human reproductive system has not been understood
D.rich people are only interested in cloning animals
5.Mr. Westhusin seems to believe that cloning________.
A.is stupid and should be abandoned
B.has been close to success
C.should be taken cautiously
D.is now in a dilemma

Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal's number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer.
This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes—clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended(混合)with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The results are electronic garments.
If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designed clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100% shockproof, they say.
The Electrotextiles team has also created the world's first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These “lap-tap” gadgets(器具)are all set to take over laptop computers!
Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This_handy_invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear include the denim(牛仔布)jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(风帽)and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.
Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?
6.The electronic garments are similar to other electronic devices in that________.
A.they feel smooth and soft
B.they use electricity as power
C.they can be washed in water
D.they are made from flexible materials
7.How will researchers improve these high-tech clothes?
A.Body heat will be used as power.
B.The wearer will not get shocked.
C.A tiny nine-volt battery will work.
D.They will get charged automatically.
8.What does the underlined phrase “This handy invention” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.The laptop computer.
B.The electronic ski jacket.
C.The shirt-cum-mobile phone.
D.The world's first cloth keyboard.
9.If you are going on a ski adventure, which device do you need?
A.The cloth keyboard.
B.The electronic ski jacket.
C.The necktie to be used as a mouse.
D.The denim jacket with earphones.
10.The main purpose of the text is________.
A.to advertise for an English company
B.to predict the future trend of science
C.to show how rapidly science develops
D.to introduce some intelligent clothing

Ⅰ.1.eccentric 2.violence 3.intact 4.versa
5.arisen 6.samples 7.absorbs 8.accompanied 9.powerful 10.created
Ⅱ.1.A 句意:当我走进她的房间时,她正专心致志地读书。be absorbed in“专心于”;control“控制”;expose“暴露”;develop“发展”,都不符合句意。故选A。
2.B 句意:尽管我们已认真做了准备,意想不到的困难在实验过程中出现了。rise升起;arise出现,发生;raise提高,增加,lift举起。由句意可知B项正确。
3.A 句意:他正在网上查信息的时候,电脑系统突然瘫痪了。break down意为“出故障,坏掉”;break out意为“(战争、灾难的)突然发生或爆发”;break up意为“分解,分裂”.break in意为“强行进入”。根据句意答案应选A。
4.B 考查非谓语动词。句子的主语是动作的承受者,应用过去分词表被动意义,排除A和C。accompany“陪伴”;attend“参加,照看”。
5.B break down抛锚;slow down慢下来;get down记下,写下;put down扑灭。
6.A 句意:今天早晨玛丽陪我去看医生。因此,她错过了布莱克老师的讲课。accompany sb.to someplace陪伴某人去某地;as a result因此,均为固定搭配。
7.D as far as is known意为“众所周知”。此句也可以表达为It is known that dolphins have no sense of smell.。句意:众所周知,海豚没有嗅觉。
8.A 句意:飞机失控了,但现在我们完全控制了局势。be out of control失去控制;in control of管理,控制着……。根据句意选A。
9.C 句意:尽管这些胶囊能治愈你的病,但同时会对身体造成不良影响。cure sb.of illness治好某人的……病;have an effect on对……有影响。
10.C 句意:虽然只有十几岁,但托尼能够抵制他不喜欢做的事。resist意为“抵制;抵抗”,后跟v-ing形式。
Ⅲ.1.C 本题考查因果细节。根据题干定位到第二段末“Cloning... also dangerous”。其上文即该段倒数第二句中,威斯苏森先生指出,在猫或牛的克隆试验中,对动物卵的浪费以及许多动物的自然性流产都可以接受,但是克隆人就不行。因此可知,C是“危险”的真正含义。A中torture(折磨)一词无从推知;B项文中未提及;第三段首句虽然提到,狗的克隆有很大的商机,但不能由此推出D正确。
2.D 本题考查事实细节。题干中the Missyplicity project指克隆一只名叫密斯的狗的项目。第一段倒数第二句指出,克隆密斯可能成功也可能失败。该段最后一句解释其原因是:狗的生殖系统似乎是现代科学中一个神秘的领域。因此D为正确项。第三段首句提到,克隆狗是一个商机,能带来丰厚的科研报酬。该段第三句又提到,对于像密斯的主人这样的消费者来说,高额的花销并不是什么障碍。由此可知,B不是项目存在的问题。C属于答非所问,第三段第三句提到,密斯的主人希望匿名以保护自己的隐私。但这对项目本身并不造成任何影响。A无从推知。
3.D 本题考查事实细节。第三段首句提到,克隆狗是能带来丰厚科研报酬的商机。下文无论是提到动物医学院频繁接到的电话,还是举出一掷千金想克隆爱犬的富人的例子都是为了说明首句的观点。因此D正确。第三段最后两句提到,密斯(狗)的克隆体与它本身存在差异之处。至于猫和牛的情况如何,文中没有涉及,排除C。A和B在文中也没有提及。
4.B 本题考查推理。文章一开始就引用专家威斯苏森的话,指出克隆人是愚蠢的尝试。第二段最后两句提到,克隆实验的低效性和危险性在克隆人中不可接受。文章末尾再次引用该专家的话,指出现在动物的研究还没成功,没有必要想到克隆人。由此可见以威斯苏森为代表的科学家对克隆人是持悲观态度的。B为正确项。第一段最后两句提到,威斯苏森和他的团队可能会在年底成功克隆出密斯,也可能再过五年都不会成功。因此狗的克隆的成功是尚未确定的事情,排除A。第一段末句提到,狗的生殖系统是现代科学中神秘的领域。“人的生殖系统”在文中没有涉及,C无从推知。文中只提到一位富人有意克隆他的狗,但没有指出富人对克隆人不感兴趣,排除D。
5.C 本题考查文中人物观点。注意题干问的是“克隆”,它包括了克隆人和克隆动物两个方面。第二段末句中,威斯苏森先生强调了克隆的低效性和危险性;文末他又指出,克隆动物的研究还没有接近成功时,更别提克隆人。因此,C概括了他对于克隆的整体态度。文章第二句出现的a stupid endeavor是威斯苏森先生对克隆人的看法,不包括克隆动物,因此排除A。B与文章末句not yet close to getting it worked out相矛盾。从第二段倒数第二句可知,威斯苏森先生对于克隆动物是默许的,并不认为克隆处于进退维谷的境地,排除D。
6.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered.”可知,这种新的电子服装与其他电器的相同之处就是都需要电作为动力。
7.A 细节理解题。根据第三段的“But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat.”可知,研究者希望将来这种服装能够利用人的体热来发电。
8.C 推理判断题。第五段第二句中的“This handy invention”显然是指上一句中的“the shirt-cum-mobile phone”。
9.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的最后两句“The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.”可知,这种电子滑雪服(the electronic ski jacket)具有卫星定位功能。
10.D 写作意图题。文章的第一段导入话题,第二段谈到一个名为Electrotextiles的英国公司为了制造智能服装,已经发明了一种织物,然后文章逐一介绍了已经开发出的几种智能服装的特点,最后谈到了未来的新产品开发。
Ⅳ.1.It is generally agreed that all creatures have their own rights and freedom to live. 2.It was on a rainy night that her husband returned home.
3.His shabby clothes and dirty hair contrasted sharply with the splendid and elegant apartment.
4.I had just had a bath and was about to go to bed when an earthquake happened. 5.The reason why he didn't take part in the camping was that his mother was ill.
