Module 5 Cloning Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading-Pre-reading
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions ofpeople are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economyaswell. In addition, human lifespan (寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial (皇帝的) family being a good example, have hereditary (遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.

[第1段译文]
第一部分 《弗兰肯斯坦》的故事
弗兰肯斯坦是瑞士日内瓦一位年轻的科学家的名字。还在上大学时,他就发现了怎样创造生命的秘密。利用死人的骨头,他创造出一个像人的怪物,并赋予了它生命。那个怪物非常高大、强壮,并且极其丑陋,吓坏了所有见到他的人。但是,怪物却有智力和人类的情感,并学会了说话。由于找不到任何朋友,他感到孤独和难过,并很快开始憎恨创造他的那个人——弗兰肯斯坦。当弗兰肯斯坦拒绝为他造一个妻子时,怪物谋杀了弗兰肯斯坦的兄弟和他最好的朋友克莱瓦尔,最后还杀死了弗兰肯斯坦的新婚妻子伊丽莎白。为了除掉怪物,弗兰肯斯坦追赶他到北极,但他本人却死在了那里。在故事的结尾部分,怪物在冰天雪地中结束了自己的生命。
Part 2 Extract?from Frankenstein
?It was on a cold November night that I saw my creation for the first time?. Feeling very anxious, I prepared the equipmentthat would give life to the thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning and the rain fell against the window. My candle was almost burnt out when, by its tiny light, I saw the yellow eye of the creature open. It breathed hard, and moved its arms and legs.
How can I describe my emotions when I saw this happen? How can I describe the monster who I had worked so hard to create? I had tried to make him beautiful. Beautiful! He was the ugliest thing I had ever seen! You could see the veins beneath his yellow skin. His hair was black and his teeth were white. But these things contrasted horriblywith his yellow eyes, his wrinkled yellow skin and black lips.

第二部分 《弗兰肯斯坦》节选
我是在11月一个寒冷的晚上首次看到我的“作品”的。它躺在我的脚边,我十分紧张不安地准备了赋予它生命所需的设备。时间已是凌晨1点,雨点敲打着窗户。我的蜡烛即将燃尽。就在此时,借着微弱的烛光,我看见怪物睁开了黄色的眼睛。它喘着粗气,挪动着四肢。,该怎样描述我看见这一切发生时内心的感受呢?该怎样描述我费尽心血创造出来的这个怪物呢?我曾尽力把他创造得好看一些。好看!他是我看到过的最丑陋的东西!他黄色皮肤下的血管依稀可见。他的头发是黑色的,他的牙齿是白色的,但这些东西却与他的黄眼睛、皱巴巴的黄皮肤以及黑嘴唇形成了骇人的对比。
I had worked for nearly two years with one aim only, to give life to a lifeless body. For this I had not slept, I had destroyed my health. I had wanted it more than anything in the world. But now I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and horror and disgust filled my heart. Now my only thoughts were, “I wish I had not created this creature, I wish I was on the other side of the world, I wish I could disappear!” When he turned to look at me, I felt unable to stay in the same room as him. I rushed out, and for a long time I walked up and down my bedroom. At last I threw myself on the bed in my clothes, trying to find a few moments of sleep. But although I slept, I had terrible dreams. I dreamt I saw my fiancée walking in the streets of our town. She looked well and happy but as I kissed her lips, they became pale, as if she were dead. Her face changed and I thought I held the body of my dead mother in my arms. I woke, shaking with fear. At that same moment, I saw the creature that I had created. He was standing by my bed and watching me. His mouth opened and hemade a sound, then seemed to smile. I think he wanted to speak, but I did not hear. He put out a hand, as if he wanted to keep me there, but I ran out of the room. I hid in the garden and stayed there till morning, terrified by what I had done. Again and again I thought, “I wish I had not done this terrible thing, I wish I was dead!”
You cannot imagine the horror of that face! I had seen him when he was unfinished — he was ugly then. But when he stood up and moved, he became a creature from my worst nightmares.

我忙了近两年,目标只有一个:将生命注入一具尸体。为此,我放弃了睡眠、累坏了身体。它一度是这个世界上我最想要的东西。现在我已经完成了创作,但梦想中的美丽已荡然无存,恐怖和厌恶充斥着我的心灵。现在,我唯一的想法是:“但愿我没有创造出这个家伙,但愿我身处世界的另一边,但愿我可以消失得无影无踪!”当他转过身来看我时,我受不了和他待在同一个房间里。我冲了出去,接下来的很长一段时间我就在自己的卧室里来回踱步。最后我和衣倒在床上,试图睡一会儿。但尽管我睡着了,也是噩梦连连。我梦见我的未婚妻走在我们城镇的大街上。她看上去健康而快乐。但是,当我亲吻她的嘴唇时,她双唇变得苍白,犹如死人。她的脸变了,我感觉拥抱着的是我死去的母亲。我浑身战栗着吓醒了。就在那一刻,我看见了我创造出的那个怪物。他正站在我的床边,看着我。他张开嘴,发出一个声音,然后像是笑了。我猜他想说什么,但我没听见。他伸出一只手来,好像是想要把我留在那儿,但我冲出了房间。由于被我做的事情吓到,我藏身花园,一直待到天亮。我一遍又一遍地想:“但愿我没有做这件可怕的事情!但愿我死了!”,你无法想象那张脸有多可怕!当他还没有生命的时候,我看了他,那时只觉得他丑陋。但当他站起来行走时,他就成了我最可怕的噩梦中的生物。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
There are many ways in which human cloning is expected to benefit humans.
Dr Richard Seed, one of the leading supporters of human cloning technology, suggests that it may someday be possible to completely change the aging process because of what we learn from cloning.
Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged. Heart disease is the number one killer in the US and several other industrialised countries.
There has been a breakthrough with human stem cells. Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs to repair or replace damaged ones. Skin for burn victims, brain cells for the brain damaged, hearts, lungs, and kidneys could be produced. By combining this technology with human cloning technology, it may be possible to produce needed organs for suffering people that will be free of rejection by their immune systems. Conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, heart failure, and other problems can be cured if human cloning and its technology are not banned.
Though current treatments for infertility (不生育) are getting a fair amount of publicity in the news, they, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. Some data shows that current infertility treatments are less than 10 percent successful. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before possible.
语篇解读:本文作者从几个方面介绍了克隆人技术给人类带来了利益。
1.According to Dr Richard Seed, we can use cloning technology to ________.
A.produce more animals
B.make people live happily
C.make people look younger
D.cure people of many diseases
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“to completely change the aging process”可知,Richard Seed认为克隆技术可以彻底改变变老的进程。因此推知,克隆技术可以使人们看上去更年轻。
2.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.cloning has already been used to treat heart disease
B.we can treat a man's heart disease by cloning hearts
C.most people in industrial countries suffer from heart disease
D.more people die of heart disease than of other diseases in the US
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,心脏病是美国和其他工业化国家的头号杀手,因此在美国死于心脏病的人要比死于其他疾病的人多。
3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.With cloning infertile couples could have children.
B.Treatment of infertility is not successful.
C.Infertile couples suffer a lot physically and mentally.
D.It is difficult for couples to have more children now.
解析:选A 段落大意题。联系全文可知,本文的主题是人类克隆技术。最后一段点明了现在治疗不孕的成功率很低,许多夫妇饱受煎熬,最后说明了利用人类克隆技术可以使不孕的夫妇有自己的孩子,因此A项正确。
4.What is the author's attitude towards human cloning?
A.Supportive. B.Doubtful.
C.Cautious. D.Curious.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据文章第一句,特别是关键词benefit及第二至五段(都是讲人类克隆技术会给人类带来益处)可推知,作者对人类克隆技术持支持的态度。
B
I'm sure many of you have seen StarWars, JurassicPark, Multiplicity, or many of the other movies that describe cloning. Most of what you see in these movies is false. What you don't know is that cloning could be dangerous, to the clone and to our society as a whole. It's immoral to have a human clone.
What about identity? Humans are promised the right to their own personalities. What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone else's genetic identity? True, personality is not fixed in genetic fault of the cloned.
Also, there is a large power struggle here. Cloning means a degree of power and control over another person's physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personalities. The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.
Cloning would also deal with killing embryos (胚胎). You might not have known, but Dolly, the sheep that was cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived. The rest died or were thrown away. Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans. More than 200 embryos, the start of 200 human beings, would die for the sake of just one embryo that would have the same DNA as someone else.
Cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone. In studies done on cows, 4 out of 12 birth mothers died. There is a very high failure rate, which is showed in the cloning of Dolly. Even if you had a few good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests.
So, should we work ahead in the world of cloning? I say no. The risks are greater than the benefits. It's dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother. We would be killing human lives in the process. It would also be a violation (侵害) of the clone's right to its own genetic identity and personality.
语篇解读:作者认为克隆是错误的,并就自己的观点进行阐述分析。
5.The author thinks human cloning is wrong mainly for ________ reasons.
A.2 B.3
C.4 D.5
解析:选C 推理判断题。文章的第二、三、四、五段各介绍一条理由,所以共四条理由。
6.According to the article, what is the author's opinion about identity?
A.Cloning itself gives parents great power over identity.
B.People's identity is completely determined by their genes.
C.Governments have the rights to confirm people's identities.
D.Cloning may prevent people from possessing their identity.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Humans are promised the right to their own personalities.”以及后面的内容判断。
7.From Paragraph 4 we can infer that ________.
A.human cloning is much more difficult than animal cloning
B.Dolly is the most successful one among 200 sheep embryos
C.cloning means running the risk of wasting too much effort
D.numbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloning
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“The rest died or were thrown away.”可知。
8.Why does the author mention some movies in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic of the article.
B.To present his idea about the movies.
C.To state the conclusion first.
D.To make the article unusual.
解析:选A 推理判断题。作者在文章的开头提到几部电影,目的是为了引出“克隆”这个话题。
C
A team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces (鞋带) that could be taken off when users click their heels together.
It's been 26 years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFly's Nike boots in the film BacktoTheFuture.
Now, self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year, proving right one of the film's fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like.
Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up, adjusting itself to the shape of your foot.
Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the “smart shoe” when your foot is in position, triggering (触发) a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight.
When you want to take off the shoes, you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring (弹簧) in the shoe's tongue, which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off.
And the invention doesn't even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery replaced because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk.
Engineer Klevis Ylli, of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Germany, said the shoes could help a variety of different people.
“One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems,” he said. “But it could also work for children, or as a lifestyle product.”
The design, which is still in a prototype (雏形) stage, cleverly gets the energy of the foot's swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery. An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once, and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.
语篇解读:本文为科技类说明文。德国一个科学团队在研发一款智能鞋,该鞋不仅可以自己系鞋带,还可以根据脚型自动调整鞋子松紧。
9.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A.A fantastical prediction
B.A great invention in Germany
C.A shoe with self-tying laces
D.A popular lifestyle product
解析:选C 标题归纳题。通读文章可知,文章主要讲述的是德国弗赖堡大学的一个科学团队正在研究一种可以利用传感器自动系鞋带的鞋。故答案为C项。
10.What can we learn about the shoes?
A.They can automatically take off.
B.They can adjust themselves to your foot.
C.They need to be charged once.
D.They have been in design for 26 years.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up, adjusting itself to the shape of your foot.”可知本题选B。
11.From the last paragraph we can know ________.
A.the shoes have been put into use
B.the shoes need power to take off
C.the shoes promise to be popular
D.how the shoes work to produce energy
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,当两只鞋中极性相反的磁铁相互移动时,这项设计能巧妙地获取能量,然后用这些能量给电池充电。走一个小时的路,产生的电量足以系紧一次鞋带儿,这说明了能量是如何产生的,所以D项切题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
While the thought of family travel may make you in a panic, here is some advice from seasoned travelers, travel agents and other experts to help you reduce the stress.
?__1__
You need to decide as soon as possible when everyone can leave and return. Fares are only going up. To wait until the last minute in hopes of getting a deal just creates more stress.
?Manage expectations.
No vacation is ever perfect, so don't overpromise.__2__ Bags can get lost, flights can get canceled and people can say and do the wrong things.
?Make it a team effort.
Allow everyone to voice suggestions in planning.__3__ Multigenerational groups, in particular, have a wide range of needs and interests: Older grandparents may have health issues; active teenagers and young adults will be seeking age-appropriate activities and entertainment.
?Choose a leader.
We need someone to make final decisions and assign (分派) tasks. Generally, the middle generation (travelers aged from 35 to 54) tends to take the lead when it comes to planning for multigenerational travel.
If there is no natural leader in your family, it may be less stressful to turn to travel agents for planning advice. __4__
?Be flexible.
While it's nice to keep family traditions, giving up your usual destinations and finding a new place for your family holidays may give you pleasant surprises.
__5__ It is much cheaper. Consider the week after Thanksgiving and before Christmas, which starts around December 15.
A.Do stay calm in face of trouble.
B.Make plans sooner rather than later.
C.Also think about avoiding peak travel dates.
D.Remind everyone that there will be problems.
E.You can have a family discussion to choose a leader.
F.They also can help solve problems when travel plans go wrong.
G.When people have had their say, they're more likely to feel satisfied.

Ⅱ.短文改错
Dear Editor,
I'm writing to tell you opinion about water saving. Water is important. We, as well as animal, cannot live without water and neither agriculture or industry can go without it. Yet it seemed that water is becoming less and least. Many countries in the world find they don't have enough water. To deal with a problem, I think we should first go out to plant trees though trees will help save water. Next, not drinking water should be left running. Third, we should find ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water.
答案:第一句:you后加my
第三句:animal→animals; or→nor
第四句:seemed→seems; least→less
第六句:a→this/the; though→because
第七句:not→no

⑤Were she my daughter, I wouldn't allow her to study abroad.
⑥Should I have time, I would call on her.

⑨But for your help, we couldn't have succeeded.
⑩She wasn't feeling well. Otherwise she wouldn't have left the meeting so early.
[我的发现]
(1)①②③句为if引导的非真实条件句的三种基本形式。
(2)④⑤⑥句为省略if的虚拟条件句。
(3)⑦⑧句中,主句与从句动作所发生的时间不一致,称之为错综时间条件句。
(4)⑨⑩句中,假设的条件不用if条件从句表示,而是通过介词短语but_for或副词otherwise等表达出来,这类句子叫“含蓄条件句”。
一、虚拟语气在非真实条件句中的用法
情况
从句谓语动词
主句谓语动词
与现在事实相反
一般过去时(be用were)
would/should/could/might+动词原形
与过去事实相反
过去完成时
would/should/could/might+have+过去分词
与将来事实相反
一般过去时(be用were)
should+动词原形
were to+动词原形
would/should/could/might+动词原形
If my brother were here, everything would be all right.
要是我哥哥在这儿,一切都没问题了。(与现在事实相反)
If I had enough money, I would take the beautiful dress for my daughter.
如果我的钱够的话,我就会为女儿买下这件漂亮的礼服。(与现在事实相反)
If you had got upearlier, you would have caughtthe train.
如果你早点起床, 你就会赶上火车了。(与过去事实相反)
If it should rain/were to rain/rained tomorrow, we would have to put off the sports meeting.
如果明天下雨的话,我们就得推迟运动会。(与将来事实相反)
[即时演练1] 用所给词的适当形式填空
①If I had enough money now, I would_buy (buy) a car.
②If we had_driven (drive) in turn, you wouldn't have got so tired.
③If it were_to_snow (snow) tomorrow, we would take photos.
二、虚拟条件的三种特殊形式
1.省略if的虚拟语气
虚拟条件句中若含有were, had或should,可以把if省略,把were, had或should提到句首,构成部分倒装。
Wereit Sunday tomorrow, we should go to the Great Wall.
要是明天是星期日, 我们就能去长城了。
HadI taken my father's suggestion, I would have done it better.
如果我听从了父亲的建议,我会做得更好。
Shouldit rain tomorrow, the flight might be put off.
如果明天下雨,航班就有可能被推迟。
[名师点津] 若省略的条件句中的谓语动词是否定形式,则不能用动词的缩略形式。我们可以说“Were it not for the expense, I would go abroad now.”但不能说“Weren't it for the expense, I would go abroad now.”。
[即时演练2] 句型转换
①If you had gone to the exhibition, you would have enjoyed it.
→Hadyougone to the exhibition, you would have enjoyed it.
②If I had known your telephone number yesterday, I would have telephoned you.
→HadIknown your telephone number yesterday, I would have telephoned you.
③If it should rain tomorrow, the work would be postponed for some days.
→Shoulditrain tomorrow, the work would be postponed for some days.
2.错综时间条件句
在虚拟语气中,条件从句中谓语可以和主句中的谓语发生时间不一致,这时从句和主句要根据各自所发生的时间选用符合具体时间的虚拟语气形式。
If youhad preparedin advance, you wouldn't be in such an awkward position now.
如果你事先做好准备, 现在就不至于那么被动。(从句表示过去,主句表示现在)
If I were you, I would have gone to his birthday party yesterday.
如果我是你,我昨天就去参加他的生日宴会了。(从句表示现在,主句表示过去)
[即时演练3] 用所给词的适当形式填空
①If you had_listened (listen) to me yesterday, you wouldn't be in such trouble now.
②If I were (be) you, I would have planted some trees round the house.
③If you had_stuck (stick) your own dream before, your life would_be (be) different today.
3.含蓄虚拟条件句
有时假设的情况不是以if条件从句表示,而是通过其他形式表现出来,这种从句被称作含蓄虚拟条件句,其主要用法如下。
(1)用but for, without等介词(短语)表示条件。
But for the rain, we should have had a pleasant journey.
要不是下雨, 我们会有一次愉快的旅行。
(2)用连词otherwise, or等暗示后文与前面的情况相反,从而引出后文的虚拟语气。
There was a traffic jam on the way, otherwise I would have arrived an hour ago.
路上堵车, 要不然我一小时前就到了。
(3)虚拟条件通过but暗示出来,but前面为虚拟语气,后面为真实情况。
I should have given you more help, but I was too busy.
我本该多帮帮你,但我太忙了。
[即时演练4]
(1)选词填空:otherwise, or
①I was ill that day. Otherwise,_I would have taken part in the sports meeting.
②He must have been there, or he never could know the place so well.
(2)一句多译
如果世界上没有战争,人们生活得会更幸福。
①Iftherewerenowar in the world, people would live a happier life.
②Weretherenowar in the world, people would live a happier life.
③Withoutwar in the world, people would live a happier life.

Cloning and DNA
Many people think that the science of genetics① and cloning is recent. It's certainly true that② in 1953, Watson and Crick, two scientists at Cambridge University, England, discovered the structure of the acid③ DNA — a transparent④twisting⑤ ladder made of the fundamental⑥components⑦ of life⑧. But in fact, it was in 1866 that⑨ Mendel first recorded the results of growing pea plants. He understood that both the parent plants had influenced the genetic make-up⑩ of the new plant.
In 1973, biochemists Cohen and Boyer discovered a procedure? to use enzymes? — chemicals? formed in the body — to unzip? the DNA, to cut out?a sequence of?genes?, and finally to insert? them into the host cell? and combine with? its DNA.
①genetics/d??'netIks/n.遗传学
②that引导主语从句,it作形式主语。
③acid/'?sId/adj.酸(性)的
④transparent/tr?ns'p?r?nt/adj.透明的
⑤twisting/'twIstI?/adj.扭曲的,弯曲的
⑥fundamental/?f?nd?'mentl/adj.基本的,不可或缺的
⑦component/k?m'p??n?nt/n.成分
⑧made of ...是过去分词短语作后置定语。
⑨it was in ...是强调句型,强调时间状语in 1866。
⑩make-upn.构成,构造
?procedure/pr?'si?d??/n.程序,注意其后接了四个to do。
?enzyme/'enzaIm/n.酶 ?chemical n.化学物质
?unzip/?n'zIp/v.解开 ?cut out 切割出来,分离
?a sequence of 一系列的 ?gene/d?i?n/n.基因
?insert/In's??t/v.植入,插入 ?the host cell宿主细胞
?combine with 与……结合

克隆与DNA
[第1~2段译文]
许多人认为基因学与克隆是最近出现的。确实如此,在1953年,英国剑桥大学的两名科学家沃森和克里克发现了酸性DNA的结构——一种透明的由生命基本元素构成的双螺旋结构。但是事实上,孟德尔在1866年第一个记录了种植豌豆的结果。他了解到植物的父本和母本都会影响子代的基因构成。
1973年,生物化学家科恩和博耶发现了如下步骤:利用人体内形成的化学物质酶解旋DNA,截取一定顺序的基因片断,最后把它们植入宿主细胞,使之与其DNA结合。
Cloning takes the DNA from a single cell to create a whole new individual. A clone is an organism which is geneticallyidentical to another one. But it's now certain that no clone is an exact copy because of differences in experiences and upbringing.
There are at least two teams of scientists which are trying to clone humans. Although controversial, there are many valid reasons to do so. An Italian doctor wants to offer cloning as an optional treatment for couples who find it difficult to have children. But anyone who was a clone of one of their parents would be under unknown psychological pressure throughout their childhood.
individual n.个体
organism/'??ɡ??nIz?m/n.有机体
genetically adv.遗传地
(be) identical to 和……一样,与……一致
it's now certain that ...是固定句式,表示“……是确定的”。
upbringing/'?p?brI?I?/n.抚育,养育
which引导定语从句,修饰two teams of scientists。
controversial/?k?ntr?'v???l/adj.有争议的
valid/'v?lId/adj.有确实根据的,有效的
optional/'?p?n?l/adj.可选择的
find it+adj.+to do sth.是固定句式,it是形式宾语,adj.是宾补,to do sth.是真正的宾语。
under ...pressure 处于……的压力之下
[第3~4段译文],克隆是从一个单细胞中提取DNA来创造出一个全新的个体。克隆体从遗传角度而言是与另一个生物个体完全相同的有机体。但是现在确定的是由于在经历和养育方面的差异,没有任何一个克隆体是完全的复制物。,至少有两组科学家正在试图克隆人类。尽管存在争议,这样做也有很多正当的理由。一位意大利医生想把克隆作为难以怀孕的夫妇的一种选择性治疗方案。然而来自父母中任何一方的克隆人都会在他们的整个童年生活中处在一种未知的心理压力下。
Another reason is to reproduce the talents of exceptional human beings. But an Einstein clone might choose a path in life which is contradictory to the one the original Einstein chose. He may even possess new vices instead of existing virtues!
A further reason is to obtain a supply ofstem cells. Stem cells in embryos are very flexible and can develop into every other type of cell in the body. For example, it could help someone recover from a disease, repair human tissue, or help them walk again after an accident. These stem cells would need to come from an embryo taken from the clone of someone. But the embryo would then be wasted, which many people find unacceptable. What is clear is that some voluntary code of practice among scientists has to be agreed. If not, compulsory government regulations will have to control cloning.
reproduce/?ri?pr?'dju?s/v.复制,使再现
exceptional/Ik'sep?n?l/adj.特别的,非凡的,卓越的
contradictory/?k?ntr?'dIkt?ri/adj.相反的
the one后省略了引导定语从句的that,因为此处that作chose的宾语。
vice/vaIs/n.缺点,弱点
virtue/'v??t?u?/n.道德上的优点,善行
a supply of 大量的
stem cell干细胞
embryo/'embri???/n.胚胎
flexible/'fleks?bl/adj.易适应的
recover v.复原,恢复,康复,常与from搭配。
tissue/'tI?u?/n.(生理)组织
过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰an embryo。
which引导非限制性定语从句作find的宾语。
code/k??d/n.法规,规则
what引导主语从句; that引导表语从句。
If not(=If it is not)是省略句。
compulsory/k?m'p?ls?ri/adj.强制的,强迫的
regulation/?reɡj?'leI?n/n.法规,条例
[第5~6段译文]
另一个原因是复制非凡的人的天资。但是克隆出来的爱因斯坦或许会选择一条与“原版”爱因斯坦截然相反的生活道路。他甚至会有新的缺点而不是已有的优点!,更深层的原因是获得大量的干细胞。胚胎里的干细胞很容易适应,可能会发展成为体内任何其他类型的细胞。例如,它可以帮助人们从疾病中恢复,修复人体组织,或帮他们在事故后重新行走。这些干细胞会需要来自某个人的克隆体的胚胎。然后这个胚胎就没用了,这是许多人都无法接受的。很明显,在科学家中一些不成文的职业规范必须获准。否则,强制性的政府条例必须控制克隆。
A fourth reason for cloning is that some scientists and farmers think it would be handy to clone, for example, a prize cow which can resist bacteria or disease, or to sow a cloned crop which can resistrot or pests. But to rely on a few cloned animals or crops would restrict the biodiversity of the breed.
Finally, the latest research into DNA has helped solve crimes by analysing the suspect'ssaliva which they spit at a crime scene or the dirt under their fingernails.
handy/'h?ndi/adj.方便的,便利的
bacteria/b?k'tI?ri?/n.细菌
sow/s??/v.播种 resist/rI'zIst/v.抵抗
rot/r?t/n.(细菌引起的)腐败病,腐蚀病
pest/pest/n.害虫 rely on依靠,依赖
biodiversity/?baI??daI'v??s?ti/n.生物多样性
breed/bri?d/n.(动植物的)品种
research常与into, about, on等介词搭配。
analyse/'?n??laIz/v.分析
suspect/'s?spekt/n.嫌疑人
saliva/s?'laIv?/n.唾液,口水
fingernail/'fI?ɡ??neIl/n.手指甲
[第7~8段译文]
进行克隆的第四个原因是,有些科学家和农场主认为,克隆很方便实惠,比如,克隆能够抵御细菌或疾病的优质奶牛,种植能够抵抗枯病或虫害的克隆作物。但是仅仅依赖少数几种克隆动植物会限制生物品种的多样性。,最后,对DNA的最新研究有助于通过分析嫌疑犯遗留在犯罪现场的唾液或指甲缝里的污物来解决犯罪问题。

Jurassic Park — Scientific Fact or Hollywood Fiction①?
Steven Spielberg's successful sci-fi② adventure film③follows two dinosaur experts — Dr Alan and Dr Ellie Sattler — as they are invited by the eccentric④ millionaire John Hammond to visit his new amusement park on an island off Costa Rica⑤ before it opens to the public. By cloning DNA taken from⑥ prehistoric⑦ mosquitoes, Hammond has created living dinosaurs for his new Jurassic Park. Accompanied⑧ by Hammond's two grandchildren⑨, they are sent on a tour⑩ through Jurassic Park in computer-controlled? cars. But a tropical storm hits? the island,knocking out? the power supply?, and an employee destroys the security system?so that he can steal dinosaur embryos? and sell them. The dinosaurs start to get out of control? ...

?hit(=strike) vt.袭击,侵袭 ?knock out摧毁
?knocking out the ...是现在分词短语作结果状语。
?the security system安全系统
?so that ...是目的状语从句,so that意为“以便”。
?get out of control摆脱控制
侏罗纪公园——科学事实还是好莱坞科幻片?
[第1段译文]
继两位恐龙专家——艾伦和埃利·萨特勒博士——应古怪的百万富翁约翰·哈蒙德之邀,参观了他位于哥斯达黎加外岛屿上的尚未对公众开放的新的游乐场之后,史蒂文·斯皮尔博格成功地拍摄了科幻历险片。通过克隆从史前的蚊子身上提取的DNA,哈蒙德为他的新侏罗纪公园创造出了活恐龙。在哈蒙德的两个孙子的陪伴下,他们被送到电脑控制的车中进行环绕侏罗纪公园的旅行。但是一场热带风暴袭击了岛屿,摧毁了电力供应,并且一个雇员破坏了安全系统以便偷出恐龙胚胎去卖。恐龙开始摆脱控制……
So, since it is possible to clone sheep?, is it possible to clone dinosaurs? Or is this just Hollywood? First, any DNA that has been taken from a preserved? mosquito? is only 40 million years old. Dinosaurs are at least 60 million years old, so even if any DNA was found, the mosquitoes need to be much older, and as far as we know, mosquitoes that old do not exist.
Second, although it is possible to find preserved mosquitoes, only one male has been recovered. In fact, only females can absorb the DNA of another creature. Also, there is no way of knowing if the DNA was from a dinosaur or not. Since there has been no previous discovery of dinosaurs, there is nothing to compare the new sample with.
?since引导原因状语从句;从句中it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。
?preserve v.保存,保护
?that引导定语从句,修饰先行词any DNA。
at least (=at the least)至少
even if (=even though)引导让步状语从句。
as far as we know据我们所知
that adv.那么,那样(用来加强语气,相当于so)
in fact事实上
absorb/?b'z??b/v.吸收 be absorbed in全神贯注于
there is no way of knowing ...无法知道……; if the DNA was from a dinosaur or not是宾语从句。
previous adj.以前的 sample/'sɑ?mpl/n.样本
compare ...with ...把……与……相比较
compared with/to与……相比
[第2~3段译文]
这样看来,既然可以克隆羊,那有可能克隆恐龙吗?还是这只是好莱坞科幻片?首先,任何取自被保存的蚊子的DNA只有4千万年之久。恐龙至少是6千万年前的,所以,即使发现任何DNA,蚊子也需要年代更久远些,而据我们所知,年代那么久远的蚊子是不存在的。,其次,即使可能找到被保存的蚊子,但仅仅发现了一只雄性蚊子。事实上,只有雌性蚊子才能吸取另一种生物的DNA。而且,也无法知道这DNA是否来自于恐龙。既然没有以前发现的恐龙,也就无法与新的样本进行比较。
Thirdly, dinosaur DNA would not be intact after the long period of time since their extinction. When life ends, DNAbreaks down and does not repair itself.
Many questions also arise in the cloning of dinosaurs. Some of these questions are: What will be needed to raise a baby dinosaur from childhood successfully? What kinds of conditions do dinosaurs need to survive? What are the diets of dinosaurs? What kinds of care would dinosaurs need in their adult lives? What would be done to protect humans from dinosaurs and vice versa? What ethical and human rights issues are raised by cloning?
intact/In't?kt/adj.完好无损的,完整的
extinction n.灭绝
break down分解
arise/?'raIz/v.(问题、困难等)发生,出现
raise vt.养育
survive v.生存
survivor n.幸存者
protect ...from ...保护……免受……(侵害)
vice versa反过来也一样,反之亦然
ethical adj.道德的
human rights人权
raise issues提出问题
[第4~5段译文]
第三,在灭绝了这么久之后,恐龙的DNA不会完好无损。生命结束后,DNA分解且无法自我修复。,在克隆恐龙上也产生了许多问题。一些问题是:将一个小恐龙成功地养大需要做些什么?恐龙存活需要什么样的条件?恐龙吃些什么?恐龙在成年生活中需要什么样的照顾?该做些什么去保护人类免受恐龙的伤害或保护恐龙免受人类的伤害?克隆会带来什么样的道德和人权问题?
So cloning dinosaurs seems scientifically impossible. The world is not ready for it and the materialsthat are needed are not yet available. Even if it was possible to bring dinosaurs back to life they probably could not survive in the present day environment. Temperature, air, disease, and plants are all different today than in the era of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are used to a completely different world and would find great difficulty living here. The only place that dinosaurs seem to exist today is in Hollywood.
scientifically adv. 科学上地,从科学意义上说
that引导定语从句,修饰先行词the materials。
available adj.可利用的,可得到的
bring ... back to life使……复活
in the era of在……时代
be used to习惯于,to为介词。
find difficulty (in) doing sth.发现做某事有困难
that引导定语从句,修饰先行词the only place。
[第6段译文]
因此,克隆恐龙从科学上说似乎是不可能的。世界对此毫无准备,而且所需的物质原料也无法获得。即使真有可能让恐龙复活,它们也不一定能在目前的环境中存活。现在的温度、空气、疾病和植物也与恐龙时代的全然不同。恐龙习惯了一个完全不同的世界,并且会发现很难在这里活下来。今天,恐龙能生存的唯一地方似乎只有好莱坞。

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
While reading a story on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy is ruining their life plans, I couldn't help but think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children who grow up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment — my husband and I probably won't be able to buy a house until we're in our forties, and we two are burdened by student loans. But why should it be different? Being young people in America, shouldn't they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
Consider some of these views shared in the story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won't be able to have children for at least a decade because they can't afford to buy a house yet.
I read that, and I thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury, not a fertility requirement.
A 26-year-old man in the story is disappointed that he can't afford to get a Ph.D.in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.
Yes, it's sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of GetaFinancialLife:PersonalFinanceinYourTwentiesandThirties, says that she thinks people's expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing. Their parents probably see their home values rise along with their investments.“So we have people who have grown up in an environment where people have great expectations of what living well means,”says Kobliner.
This recession will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems much better for our mental health to focus on being grateful — for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day — than on longing for some kind of luxurious life.
语篇解读:本文讨论了二十几岁的年轻人的现状。他们认为经济的衰退毁掉了他们的计划并造成了他们生活的困顿:经济不独立、买不起房子、完成不了学业。但是作者却认为问题不是经济的现状,而他们对生活过高的期望才是造成问题的根源所在。
1.What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?
A.They expect everything to be easy for them.
B.They complain that the economy is ruining their life plans.
C.They are unwilling to face all of the challenges.
D.They are burdened by student loans.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“While reading a story ...everything to be easy for them.”可知B项切题。
2.Which of the following is NOT one of the complaints of the 20-somethings?
A.They can't have children for at least a decade for they can't afford to buy a house.
B.They have only a one-bedroom apartment to live in.
C.They can't buy a house until 40 and are burdened by student loans.
D.They despair of not being able to afford to get a Ph.D. in literature.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第一、二、四段内容可知,只有B项没有提到,故选B。
3.What's Kobliner's attitude towards the 20-somethings with high expectations?
A.Unbearable. B.Opposing.
C.Doubtful. D.Understanding.
解析:选D 观点态度题。由第五段中的“Beth Kobliner, author of GetaFinancialLife ...says Kobliner.”可推知,Beth Kobliner认为这些年轻人过高的期望是有环境因素的,因此作者对此持理解的态度。故选D。
4.What is the best title for this passage?
A.Young people afford to continue their education
B.Young people can't afford to buy a house
C.Young people's high expectations lead to despair
D.The 20-somethings' expectations
解析:选C 标题归纳题。综观全文不难看出,文章主要讲述的是年轻人过高的期望产生的原因和其产生的结果,所以C项切题。

Keeping kids motivated at the end of the year is not so easy, especially after tests are over. In fact, the more we prepare kids for tests, the harder it is to keep them on task after testing ends. Yet keeping kids motivated at this time of year is actually much easier than you might think. Here are some helpful ways to turn students’ end-of-the-year energy into success.

Creating a class scrapbook is a good way for students to focus on the school year. Let each student design his or her own special page. The front of the page can include their name, a photo, and other personal skills. Have each student write you a letter about the school year and stick it to the back of his or her page.
2.Read aloud
There never seems to be enough time to read aloud during the school year, so it’s wonderful to have more freedom to do so after tests are over. Instead of reading just 10 minutes a day, I enjoy spending 30 minutes or sharing more great books with my kids. I recently asked teachers to share their favorite books for the last month of school, and over 50 people agreed.
3.Class newsletters
Let the whole class take part in this meaningful writing activity, and everyone will end up with a valuable record of your school year. Consider all the special events that have happened in the year, and then ask each student to write about one of the events. Select a few students to put all of the stories into one newspaper. Add photos and pictures about the school year, awards and something like that. To save paper, produce the newsletter in a digital form and e-mail it to parents. Be sure to print one or two copies for students to share in the classroom.

I think encouragement can help us feel more confident and do well in study. I used to be poor at English and I felt I had much difficulty in learning English. Sometimes I almost lost heart. However, a little encouragement from my English teacher completely changed me.
I remember I began to show an interest in English when my English teacher asked me a question I wasn’t sure of in an English class. I felt extremely happy when she said my answer was another version and praised me. It is since then that I’ve become confident and made much more progress. I sincerely thank my English teacher for her encouragement.
Module 5 Cloning
The most famous horror film Frankenstein is a sci-fi story. It describes a young scientist Frankenstein, an imaginary character, created a creature which is identical to a human being. However, the final result is incredible. The creature's black hair and white teeth contrasts horribly with his wrinkled yellow skin and black lips. It terrifies everyone who sees him. For Frankenstein, the nightmares began. When the monster got refused, he murdered Frankenstein's brother and his fiancee. The scientist chased the monster and wanted to kill him again and again. In the end, the monster threw himself on the ice in theArctic and disappeared. In this film, Frankenstein created the creature using the technique — cloning.
Now the science of genetics and cloning is very popular. In 1996, the cloned animal — Dolly the sheep was born. The worldtreateditas a miracle. Since then, many animals have been cloned.
Some scientists are trying to clone humans, which is controversial. The contradictoryopinions are as follows: Those for the idea of cloning humans think we can rely on the clone to resistorcure the diseases. Those against the idea think cloning will restrict the biodiversity of the breed. More problemsarise. For example, how to deal with the relationship between the clone and the original?
Whether cloning will be beneficial or harmful to human beings is unknown. To avoid getting out of control, compulsory government regulations which control cloning will have to made.
最著名的恐怖电影《弗兰肯斯坦》是一个科幻故事。它讲述了一个虚构的人物——年轻的科学家弗兰肯斯坦,创造了一个与人一样的生物的故事。然而,最后的结果令人难以置信。这个生物的黑色的头发、白色的牙与他起皱的黄色皮肤以及黑色嘴唇形成了可怕的对比。它吓坏了见过他的每个人。对弗兰肯斯坦来说,噩梦开始了。当这个怪物被拒绝时,他谋杀了弗兰肯斯坦的哥哥和未婚妻。这位科学家追赶怪物,一次又一次地想杀害他。最后,这个怪物扑倒在北极的冰上消失了。在这部电影里,弗兰肯斯坦用克隆技术创造了这个生物。
现在遗传学和克隆很流行。1996年,克隆羊多利诞生。世人把它看作一个奇迹。从那以后,许多动物就被克隆出来了。
一些科学家正试图克隆人类,这事有争议。对立的观点如下:那些支持克隆人类的人认为,我们可以依靠克隆体抵抗或治愈疾病。那些反对的人认为,克隆将限制物种的多样性。更多的问题出现了,比如,如何处理克隆体与原体的关系?
克隆对人类有益还是有害还不清楚。为了避免失去控制,强制性的政府控制克隆的法规将不得不制定出来。
课件5张PPT。课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading — Pre reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
There are many ways in which human cloning is expected to benefit humans.
Dr Richard Seed, one of the leading supporters of human cloning technology, suggests that it may someday be possible to completely change the aging process because of what we learn from cloning.
Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged. Heart disease is the number one killer in the US and several other industrialised countries.
There has been a breakthrough with human stem cells. Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs to repair or replace damaged ones. Skin for burn victims, brain cells for the brain damaged, hearts, lungs, and kidneys could be produced. By combining this technology with human cloning technology, it may be possible to produce needed organs for suffering people that will be free of rejection by their immune systems. Conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, heart failure, and other problems can be cured if human cloning and its technology are not banned.
Though current treatments for infertility (不生育) are getting a fair amount of publicity in the news, they, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. Some data shows that current infertility treatments are less than 10 percent successful. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before possible.
语篇解读:本文作者从几个方面介绍了克隆人技术给人类带来了利益。
1.According to Dr Richard Seed, we can use cloning technology to ________.
A.produce more animals
B.make people live happily
C.make people look younger
D.cure people of many diseases
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“to completely change the aging process”可知,Richard Seed认为克隆技术可以彻底改变变老的进程。因此推知,克隆技术可以使人们看上去更年轻。
2.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.cloning has already been used to treat heart disease
B.we can treat a man’s heart disease by cloning hearts
C.most people in industrial countries suffer from heart disease
D.more people die of heart disease than of other diseases in the US
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,心脏病是美国和其他工业化国家的头号杀手,因此在美国死于心脏病的人要比死于其他疾病的人多。
3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.With cloning infertile couples could have children.
B.Treatment of infertility is not successful.
C.Infertile couples suffer a lot physically and mentally.
D.It is difficult for couples to have more children now.
解析:选A 段落大意题。联系全文可知,本文的主题是人类克隆技术。最后一段点明了现在治疗不孕的成功率很低,许多夫妇饱受煎熬,最后说明了利用人类克隆技术可以使不孕的夫妇有自己的孩子,因此A项正确。
4.What is the author’s attitude towards human cloning?
A.Supportive. B.Doubtful.
C.Cautious. D.Curious.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据文章第一句,特别是关键词benefit及第二至五段(都是讲人类克隆技术会给人类带来益处)可推知,作者对人类克隆技术持支持的态度。
B
I’m sure many of you have seen Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Multiplicity, or many of the other movies that describe cloning. Most of what you see in these movies is false. What you don’t know is that cloning could be dangerous, to the clone and to our society as a whole. It’s immoral to have a human clone.
What about identity? Humans are promised the right to their own personalities. What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone else’s genetic identity? True, personality is not fixed in genetic fault of the cloned.
Also, there is a large power struggle here. Cloning means a degree of power and control over another person’s physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personalities. The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.
Cloning would also deal with killing embryos (胚胎). You might not have known, but Dolly, the sheep that was cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived. The rest died or were thrown away. Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans. More than 200 embryos, the start of 200 human beings, would die for the sake of just one embryo that would have the same DNA as someone else.
Cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone. In studies done on cows, 4 out of 12 birth mothers died. There is a very high failure rate, which is showed in the cloning of Dolly. Even if you had a few good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests.
So, should we work ahead in the world of cloning? I say no. The risks are greater than the benefits. It’s dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother. We would be killing human lives in the process. It would also be a violation (侵害) of the clone’s right to its own genetic identity and personality.
语篇解读:作者认为克隆是错误的,并就自己的观点进行阐述分析。
5.The author thinks human cloning is wrong mainly for ________ reasons.
A.2 B.3
C.4 D.5
解析:选C 推理判断题。文章的第二、三、四、五段各介绍一条理由,所以共四条理由。
6.According to the article, what is the author’s opinion about identity?
A.Cloning itself gives parents great power over identity.
B.People’s identity is completely determined by their genes.
C.Governments have the rights to confirm people’s identities.
D.Cloning may prevent people from possessing their identity.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Humans are promised the right to their own personalities.”以及后面的内容判断。
7.From Paragraph 4 we can infer that ________.
A.human cloning is much more difficult than animal cloning
B.Dolly is the most successful one among 200 sheep embryos
C.cloning means running the risk of wasting too much effort
D.numbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloning
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“The rest died or were thrown away.”可知。
8.Why does the author mention some movies in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic of the article.
B.To present his idea about the movies.
C.To state the conclusion first.
D.To make the article unusual.
解析:选A 推理判断题。作者在文章的开头提到几部电影,目的是为了引出“克隆”这个话题。
C
A team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces (鞋带) that could be taken off when users click their heels together.
It’s been 26 years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFly’s Nike boots in the film Back to The Future.
Now, self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year, proving right one of the film’s fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like.
Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up, adjusting itself to the shape of your foot.
Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the “smart shoe” when your foot is in position, triggering (触发) a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight.
When you want to take off the shoes, you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring (弹簧) in the shoe’s tongue, which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off.
And the invention doesn’t even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery replaced because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk.
Engineer Klevis Ylli, of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Germany, said the shoes could help a variety of different people.
“One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems,” he said. “But it could also work for children, or as a lifestyle product.”
The design, which is still in a prototype (雏形) stage, cleverly gets the energy of the foot’s swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery. An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once, and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.
语篇解读:本文为科技类说明文。德国一个科学团队在研发一款智能鞋,该鞋不仅可以自己系鞋带,还可以根据脚型自动调整鞋子松紧。
9.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A.A fantastical prediction
B.A great invention in Germany
C.A shoe with self-tying laces
D.A popular lifestyle product
解析:选C 标题归纳题。通读文章可知,文章主要讲述的是德国弗赖堡大学的一个科学团队正在研究一种可以利用传感器自动系鞋带的鞋。故答案为C项。
10.What can we learn about the shoes?
A.They can automatically take off.
B.They can adjust themselves to your foot.
C.They need to be charged once.
D.They have been in design for 26 years.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up, adjusting itself to the shape of your foot.”可知本题选B。
11.From the last paragraph we can know ________.
A.the shoes have been put into use
B.the shoes need power to take off
C.the shoes promise to be popular
D.how the shoes work to produce energy
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,当两只鞋中极性相反的磁铁相互移动时,这项设计能巧妙地获取能量,然后用这些能量给电池充电。走一个小时的路,产生的电量足以系紧一次鞋带儿,这说明了能量是如何产生的,所以D项切题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
While the thought of family travel may make you in a panic, here is some advice from seasoned travelers, travel agents and other experts to help you reduce the stress.
?__1__
You need to decide as soon as possible when everyone can leave and return. Fares are only going up. To wait until the last minute in hopes of getting a deal just creates more stress.
?Manage expectations.
No vacation is ever perfect, so don’t overpromise.__2__ Bags can get lost, flights can get canceled and people can say and do the wrong things.
?Make it a team effort.
Allow everyone to voice suggestions in planning.__3__ Multigenerational groups, in particular, have a wide range of needs and interests: Older grandparents may have health issues; active teenagers and young adults will be seeking age-appropriate activities and entertainment.
?Choose a leader.
We need someone to make final decisions and assign (分派) tasks. Generally, the middle generation (travelers aged from 35 to 54) tends to take the lead when it comes to planning for multigenerational travel.
If there is no natural leader in your family, it may be less stressful to turn to travel agents for planning advice. __4__
?Be flexible.
While it’s nice to keep family traditions, giving up your usual destinations and finding a new place for your family holidays may give you pleasant surprises.
__5__ It is much cheaper. Consider the week after Thanksgiving and before Christmas, which starts around December 15.
A.Do stay calm in face of trouble.
B.Make plans sooner rather than later.
C.Also think about avoiding peak travel dates.
D.Remind everyone that there will be problems.
E.You can have a family discussion to choose a leader.
F.They also can help solve problems when travel plans go wrong.
G.When people have had their say, they’re more likely to feel satisfied.

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
While reading a story on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy is ruining their life plans, I couldn’t help but think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children who grow up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment — my husband and I probably won’t be able to buy a house until we’re in our forties, and we two are burdened by student loans. But why should it be different? Being young people in America, shouldn’t they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
Consider some of these views shared in the story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won’t be able to have children for at least a decade because they can’t afford to buy a house yet.
I read that, and I thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury, not a fertility requirement.
A 26-year-old man in the story is disappointed that he can’t afford to get a Ph.D.in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.
Yes, it’s sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life:Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people’s expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing. Their parents probably see their home values rise along with their investments.“So we have people who have grown up in an environment where people have great expectations of what living well means,”says Kobliner.
This recession will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems much better for our mental health to focus on being grateful — for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day — than on longing for some kind of luxurious life.
语篇解读:本文讨论了二十几岁的年轻人的现状。他们认为经济的衰退毁掉了他们的计划并造成了他们生活的困顿:经济不独立、买不起房子、完成不了学业。但是作者却认为问题不是经济的现状,而他们对生活过高的期望才是造成问题的根源所在。
1.What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?
A.They expect everything to be easy for them.
B.They complain that the economy is ruining their life plans.
C.They are unwilling to face all of the challenges.
D.They are burdened by student loans.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“While reading a story ...everything to be easy for them.”可知B项切题。
2.Which of the following is NOT one of the complaints of the 20-somethings?
A.They can’t have children for at least a decade for they can’t afford to buy a house.
B.They have only a one-bedroom apartment to live in.
C.They can’t buy a house until 40 and are burdened by student loans.
D.They despair of not being able to afford to get a Ph.D. in literature.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第一、二、四段内容可知,只有B项没有提到,故选B。
3.What’s Kobliner’s attitude towards the 20-somethings with high expectations?
A.Unbearable. B.Opposing.
C.Doubtful. D.Understanding.
解析:选D 观点态度题。由第五段中的“Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life ...says Kobliner.”可推知,Beth Kobliner认为这些年轻人过高的期望是有环境因素的,因此作者对此持理解的态度。故选D。
4.What is the best title for this passage?
A.Young people afford to continue their education
B.Young people can’t afford to buy a house
C.Young people’s high expectations lead to despair
D.The 20-somethings’ expectations
解析:选C 标题归纳题。综观全文不难看出,文章主要讲述的是年轻人过高的期望产生的原因和其产生的结果,所以C项切题。
Ⅱ.语法填空
Holidaymakers are more adventurous than ever before, with more than a third of British people __1__ (say) that they take on more daring activities while on holiday than they did even a decade __2__ (early).

Ⅱ.短文改错
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you opinion about water saving. Water is important. We, as well as animal, cannot live without water and neither agriculture or industry can go without it. Yet it seemed that water is becoming less and least. Many countries in the world find they don’t have enough water. To deal with a problem, I think we should first go out to plant trees though trees will help save water. Next, not drinking water should be left running. Third, we should find ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water.
答案:第一句:you后加my
第三句:animal→animals; or→nor
第四句:seemed→seems; least→less
第六句:a→this/the; though→because
第七句:not→no
第八句:using→used; 去掉for
