内化读文技法
寻找关键词句，把握说明对象
本文是说明文，写作结构为“总—分—总”结构。第一段开门见山，介绍克隆的定义；接着第二、三段介绍了一些克隆的成功例子；第四、五段介绍了人们对于克隆的不同看法；第六段说明了克隆技术的未来。读文时应重点解读文章的标题、首段的关键词、结尾以及每段的中心句，最终总结出全文着力说明的中心事物，即文章的说明对象。如本文的标题为“To Clone or Not to Clone？”，文章首段也直接点明了主题，其他各段的段首句(主题句)中的关键词都提到了“Clone”，故本文的说明对象为“Clone”。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．At first, Dolly grew normally, but later she developed an illness that is more normally found in much older animals.
赏析：句中连续使用两个normally，表明作者的惊讶之情，克隆羊多莉的早夭再次引起了人们对克隆动物是否会早衰的担忧。
2．With this technology, we have the potential to raise a large number of monkeys with identical genes in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit research needs.
赏析：句中使用suit更能表明克隆技术在科学方面的作用，不仅说明克隆技术的适应性，同时也说明其匹配性。

(二)赏句式之高
1．The reason they worked so hard to break this technical barrier was to get animals with edited genes and produce animal models that are helpful for medical research and human health.
赏析：主句是主系表结构。句中they worked so hard to break this technical barrier为省略了关系副词why的定语从句，修饰先行词reason；that引导定语从句，修饰animal models。该句句式凝练，表明了他们努力突破技术壁垒的愿望。
2．The successful cloning of primates has led to worldwide praise as a huge breakthrough that might lead to cures for various diseases and may also offer clues on how to prevent the aging process.
赏析：that引导的是定语从句，修饰先行词a huge breakthrough；how to prevent the aging process作on的宾语。该句表达了灵长类动物的成功克隆对世界的影响。
[仿写训练] (用高级句式完成句子)
①Scientists are exploring new ways to address climate change ________________.
科学家们正在探索解决全球关注的气候变化的新途径。
②Scientists are researching the reason ________________________________， aiming to understand ________________ biodiversity effectively.
科学家们正在研究某些物种面临灭绝的原因，旨在了解如何有效保护生物多样性。
(三)赏结尾之翘
As Einstein said, “Science is a powerful instrument.How it is used, whether it is a blessing or a curse to mankind, depends on mankind and not on the instrument.A knife is useful, but it can also kill.”
赏析：作者引用了爱因斯坦的话，表明了我们应该对克隆所采取的态度。爱因斯坦的这句话意味着科学本身不能被判断为好或者坏，因为它只有在被人类使用时才能发挥作用。人类需要小心利用他们通过科学获得的信息，并应记住要利用科学解决问题。在文章末尾引用名人名言能起到画龙点睛、启迪读者的作用，达到水乳交融的效果。

JOHN SNOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA”
Cholera used to be one of the most feared diseases in the world, until a British doctor, John Snow, showed how it could be overcome.This illness causes severe diarrhoea, dehydration, and even death.In the early 19th century, when an outbreak of cholera hit Europe, millions of people died from the disease.As a young doctor, John Snow became frustrated because no one knew how to prevent or treat cholera.In time, he rose to become a famous doctor, and even attended to Queen Victoria when she gave birth.However, he never lost his desire to destroy cholera once and for all.
In general, doctors in those days had two contradictory theories to explain how cholera spread.One theory was that bad air caused the disease.The other was that cholera was caused by an infection from germs in food or water.Snow subscribed to the second theory.It was correct, but he still needed proof.Consequently, when an outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate. He discovered that in two particular streets the cholera outbreak was so severe people died in ten days.He was determined to find out why.
There were multiple deaths near the water pump in Broad Street (especially house numbers 16,37,38，and 40)．However, some households (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street, and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths.These people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street.They had been given free beer, and so had not drunk the water from the pump.Snow suspected that the water pump was to blame.What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street. It seemed that the woman liked the water delivered to her house every day.As a result of this evidence, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly， could not be used.Through this intervention, the disease was stopped in its tracks.
The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste.Moreover，Snow was later able to show a link between other cases of cholera and the different water companies in London.Some companies sold water from the River Thames that was polluted by raw waste.The people who drank this water were much more likely to get cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water.
Through Snow's tireless efforts, water companies began to sell clean water, and the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial decrease.However, cholera is still a problem.Each year, millions of people around the world get cholera and many die from it.Fortunately, we now know how to prevent cholera, thanks to the work of John Snow.Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics，Snow transformed the way scientists study diseases.For this reason，Snow is considered the father of modern epidemiology.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens (镜头) to people living with genetic, physical and behavioural differences.
He says what changed his perception (看法) of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (患白化病的) girl.“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful.Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful.As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines.I see it everywhere.So that was my original intention — that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.”
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.
One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera.“I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment.I remember that particular day.He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, like, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.”
Guidotti is travelling from city to city to promote On Beauty.He says his tour is not about money; it's about the message.“As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering (给某人……的权力) individuals with a positive sense of who they are.They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well.All is based on the philosophy of change — how you see, how you change.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了与一位白化病女孩的偶然相遇使Rick Guidotti对美的看法发生了改变，他放弃了时尚摄影师的职业生涯，将他的镜头转向那些在遗传、生理和行为方面有差异的人，并拍摄了一部名为《何为美》的纪录片来努力推动一个赞美不同和差异的世界。
1．Why did Guidotti change his career
A．The beauty on covers of magazines is not beautiful.

Wilberforce Tushemereirwe holds up a genetically-modified banana that took millions of dollars and 20 years to make.It contains a large amount of provitamin A, a substance that transforms into vitamin A in the body.This “super banana” was created at Uganda's National Agricultural Research Laboratories for the noblest of causes: to save the lives of thousands of children who die in Uganda every year from a lack of vitamin A.
Vitamin A shortage remains a serious global public health problem. The World Health Organization estimates that 190 million preschool children suffer from vitamin A shortage today, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.It is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children.It also inhibits children's growth and weakens their resistance to illnesses so that many die from treatable diseases such as diarrhea and measles.In Uganda, one of the world's poorest countries, it remains high on the list of health risks, which makes it urgent to find ways to deal with the condition.
The Ugandan government has tried for decades to solve the problem — with limited success.Distribution of vitamin A capsules, for example, worked well in urban areas but failed to reach those most in need in rural areas.Increasing corn and wheat flour and eatable oils with vitamin A proved more effective.But those foods are not consumed in large enough amounts to make a meaningful difference. Bananas, a main staple of the Ugandan diet, seemed to be a better option.
Yet, one problem still remains.Fred Wanyu, a Ugandan tribal leader and linguist, says his ancestors considered the banana “the mother of society”．Farmers worry that a new super banana will distort (扭曲) Ugandan banana culture dramatically.Though he respects the ancestors, Wanyu also believes that if a little piece of banana is added to a sister banana, developing into something better,
“I think we will live in a better world.” “That's what many Ugandans wish for as they struggle their way out of malnutrition and extreme poverty.” “Culture is dynamic，” Wanyu said.“Otherwise, we would continue writing on stones.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新型“超级香蕉”的诞生及原因。
5．Why was the super banana created
A．To increase the production of bananas.
B．To assist Ugandan people in fighting hunger.
C．To help the human body absorb more vitamin A.
D．To save children suffering from vitamin A shortage.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“This ‘super banana’ was created ... to save the lives of thousands of children who die in Uganda every year from a lack of vitamin A．”可知，这种“超级香蕉”被研制出来是为了挽救乌干达每年因缺乏维生素A而死亡的数千名儿童的生命。
6．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2
A．To show ways of preventing vitamin A shortage.
B．To explain the leading cause of blindness in children.
C．To stress the urgency of developing the super banana.
D．To introduce some serious global public health problems.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段可推知，该段主要的写作目的是强调研制超级香蕉的迫切性。
√
7．What is Wanyu's attitude towards the super banana
A．Positive. B．Doubtful.
C．Indifferent. D．Disapproving.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘I think we will live in a better world.’ ‘That's what many Ugandans wish for as they struggle their way out of malnutrition and extreme poverty.’”可知，Wangyu对超级香蕉的态度是积极的。
√
8．What's the best title for the text
A．Advantages of “Super Banana”
B．Exploration of “Super Banana”
C．Wide Spread of “Super Banana”
D．Large Output of “Super Banana”
√
解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段及全文可知，文章主要介绍了乌干达国家农业研究实验室为了挽救每年因患维生素 A 缺乏症而死亡的数千名儿童的生命，不断努力，最终研制出“超级香蕉”。由此可知，B项“‘超级香蕉’的探索”适合作为文章标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, has been around for thousands of years and integrates Taoism (a nature-based philosophy) with elements of Buddhism and Confucianism.Centered around the core belief is that qi is the essential energy that flows through our bodies and powers all human life. 9 .
The first suggests that everything about a person is interrelated. 10 .And they affect one another because of this interconnection.
The second assumes that every person is part of the natural world, and in so being, is affected by everything from the time, the place, the season, to one's age, genetic disposition (组成), and physical condition.
The third states that, like all things in nature, we are regenerative (再生的) and have the inborn ability to heal our bodies. 11 .
The fourth is that prevention is the key to staying well. 12 .Do not ignore the warning signs.In this way, you can prevent a more serious condition from developing.
13 .They include herbal medicines and diet, foot reflexology (反射论) massage, tai chi, acupuncture, and acupressure (针压法) — to name a few of the more well-known ones.These methods are used to promote the unrestricted flow of qi throughout the body, which is said to promote health.They are also used to balance the opposing forces of yin and yang, believed by Taoists to be found in all things.
A．TCM is based on four key principles
B．The connections are unnatural enough
C．Taking physical examination regularly does not work
D．Listen to our bodies and making adjustments when necessary
E．One's physical body, emotions, mind, and spirit are all interconnected
F．Unlocking this ability is the key to regaining and maintaining good health
G．To achieve and maintain good health, TCM employs a number of methods

Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens (镜头) to people living with genetic, physical and behavioural differences.
He says what changed his perception (看法) of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (患白化病的) girl.“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful.Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful.As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines.I see it everywhere.So that was my original intention — that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.”
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not for profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated.Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.
One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera.“I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment.I remember that particular day.He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, like, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.”
Guidotti is travelling from city to city to promote On Beauty.He says his tour is not about money; it's about the message.“As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering (给某人……的权力) individuals with a positive sense of who they are.They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well.All is based on the philosophy of change — how you see, how you change.”

Wilberforce Tushemereirwe holds up a genetically modified banana that took millions of dollars and 20 years to make.It contains a large amount of provitamin A, a substance that transforms into vitamin A in the body.This “super banana” was created at Uganda's National Agricultural Research Laboratories for the noblest of causes: to save the lives of thousands of children who die in Uganda every year from a lack of vitamin A.
Vitamin A shortage remains a serious global public health problem.The World Health Organization estimates that 190 million preschool children suffer from vitamin A shortage today, mostly in sub Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.It is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children.It also inhibits children's growth and weakens their resistance to illnesses so that many die from treatable diseases such as diarrhea and measles.In Uganda, one of the world's poorest countries, it remains high on the list of health risks, which makes it urgent to find ways to deal with the condition.
The Ugandan government has tried for decades to solve the problem — with limited success.Distribution of vitamin A capsules, for example, worked well in urban areas but failed to reach those most in need in rural areas.Increasing corn and wheat flour and eatable oils with vitamin A proved more effective.But those foods are not consumed in large enough amounts to make a meaningful difference.Bananas, a main staple of the Ugandan diet, seemed to be a better option.
Yet, one problem still remains.Fred Wanyu, a Ugandan tribal leader and linguist, says his ancestors considered the banana “the mother of society”．Farmers worry that a new super banana will distort (扭曲) Ugandan banana culture dramatically.Though he respects the ancestors, Wanyu also believes that if a little piece of banana is added to a sister banana, developing into something better, “I think we will live in a better world.” “That's what many Ugandans wish for as they struggle their way out of malnutrition and extreme poverty.” “Culture is dynamic，” Wanyu said.“Otherwise, we would continue writing on stones.”
5．Why was the super banana created
A．To increase the production of bananas.
B．To assist Ugandan people in fighting hunger.
C．To help the human body absorb more vitamin A.
D．To save children suffering from vitamin A shortage.
6．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2
A．To show ways of preventing vitamin A shortage.
B．To explain the leading cause of blindness in children.
C．To stress the urgency of developing the super banana.
D．To introduce some serious global public health problems.
7．What is Wanyu's attitude towards the super banana
A．Positive. B．Doubtful.
C．Indifferent. D．Disapproving.
8．What's the best title for the text
A．Advantages of “Super Banana”
B．Exploration of “Super Banana”
C．Wide Spread of “Super Banana”
D．Large Output of “Super Banana”
