21、ific researchthe mapping of all DNA in a human gene（基因）is complete. Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish. All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away. Human cloning has always been a top

22、ic of argument，in terms of morality or religion.Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning. If the clone was free of genetic limitations, then the oth

23、er clones would be as well. The latter could be inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen. Moreover，cloning would enable women, who cant get pregnant, to have children of their own.Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs. This,

24、surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single(or more) organ(s）.It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of sci

25、entists.Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side. Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal “cycle”of life. There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement，and, in turn, development-the fundamental reason how living things

26、 naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment. Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance. Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear, thus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purpose

27、s and chances are that those individuals would be regarded as “objects” rather than people in the society.Scientists havent 100 percent guaranteed that the first cloned will be normal. Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human “gene-pool”.Regarding such arguable t

28、opics in “black or white” approach seems very innocent to me personally. We should rather try to look at all “shades” of it. I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs, not humans. Then we could regard this as for “saving life” instead of “creating life”. I believe clo

29、ning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.41. Which of the following is true according to the passage？ A. Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women B. A large number of genes will prevent us from developing C. Prohibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists D. First cl

30、oned humans might be normal according to scientists42. Whats the authors opinion on cloning? A. Cloning should be entirely banned B. Cloning should be used in creating life C. Cloning will take away the right to reproduce D. Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs43. Where can you rea

31、d this article? A. In a story book.B. In a magazine. C. In a science fiction D. In a brochure44. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage (- stand for Para.1 -Para.6) BConservationists have unveiled plans to preserve and protect the world's most important species of coral, in a

32、response to increasing threats that they say will lead to "functional extinction" within decadesLed by scientists at the Zoological Society of London, the Edge Coral Reefs project has identified 10 coral species in most urgent risk of becoming extinctThe scientists say that reefs are under

33、 pressure from a variety of threats including rising sea temperatures due to climatic instability, increased acidity（酸性）, over fishing and pollutionThe Edge plan, which focuses on the most evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered species , will take a regional approach to conservationThis mea

34、ns focusing on the "coral triangle" around the Philippines, the West Indian Ocean around the Mozambique channel, and in the Caribbean channel"Coral reefs are threatened with functional extinction in the next 20-50 years, due mainly to global changeable climate," said Catherine He

35、ad, co-worker of the reefs project"In these regions, we'll be supporting and training in-country conservationists to carry out research and perform targeted conservation actions," she said"Their projects will last initially for two yearsWe provide them with a whole host of tools t

36、o carry out their projects including funding and intensive training" She addedCoral reefs are the planet's most diverse marine ecosystem（生態(tài)系統(tǒng)）, known as the rainforests of the oceansDespite taking up under 02% of the ocean floor, they provide food and shelter for almost a third of all sea l

37、ifeIf we lose the ecosystems, we lose not only the biodiversity （生物多樣性）, but we also lose the capability of people to obtain income and food from coral reefsChangeable climate, which leads to rising sea temperatures, causes corals to bleachBleaching occurs when sea temperatures rise and this causes

38、the coral tissue to drive away their symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae - these are what give the coral their colour. Bleached corals often die if the stress continuesAmong the 10 species chosen to start the Edge project are the pearl bubble coral, a food source for the hawksbill（玳瑁）turtle, and th

39、e Mushroom coral, which supports at least 15 brightly colored fish45. What does the first paragraph mean in the passage?A. Conservationists planned to preserve and protect some extinct corals years agoB. Conservationists have banned plans to protect endangered corals for yearsC. Conservationists are

40、 going to protect corals that are dying out in several ten yearsD. Conservationists have made plans to protect corals from being extinct in ten years46.

41、following statements about the Edge Plan is TRUE?A. The Edge Coral Reefs project was carried out by American scientistsB. The plan concentrates on the channels to protect the endangered speciesC. The Conservationists have carried out the Edge plan for many years to protect the coralsD. Ten coral spe

42、cies chosen by the project are at the greatest risk of becoming extinct48. Which of the following will be the consequence of coral extinction in the passage?A. We will keep the balance of the marine ecosystemsB. About one third of the marine species can't surviveC. Man can benefit more from cora

43、lsD. We will lose the rainforests on our earth49. What is the best title of the passage?A. Changeable Climate and Coral Extinction B. Reasons for Coral Functional ExtinctionC. A Plan to Save Coral from Extinction D. A Research about Endangered Coral Reefs CThe British arent having as many children a

44、s they used to. One reason is that people are having children much older than before, meaning they have fewer years in which they can have them. After years at university, they need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want. They might then get married, but its incredibly

45、expensive to buy a house in the UK. The above explains why young British people now dont move out of their parents home until they are around 30 years old on average. It is not until they are 30 that they can afford their own home. Increasingly, it is not until that age that they can afford to get m

46、arried and start a new life in a new home. Its only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child. So a British person manages to get a job, get a home and get married. Why isnt he or she then having at least two children on average? The main reason is that it is quite ex

47、pensive to bring up a child in the UK. Why is it expensive? Well, these days, both parents need to work just to pay for their home and living expenses. Because both parents are at work, that means they then need to pay someone to look after their child during the day. Paying for this childcare is ne

48、arly always expensive.The recent financial crisis is making things even harder for families, since unemployment is rising and even fewer people can afford to have children. With so much pressure on families, is it any surprise that the divorce rate is so high? So what is Britain doing to try and sav

49、e the British family? The government is trying to make it cheaper to have children. For example, there have been increases in money families can claim from the state each month. Also, there are increasing government subsidies for nursery schools, so that parents do not need to pay so much for child

50、care. The government is also trying to reduce the number of hours British parents have to work to earn enough money to pay their bills. If parents didnt have to work so many hours, theyd have more time to spend with their children and wouldnt need to spend so much on childcare. On average, a Briton

51、works 49 hours a week, which is the most in Europe. The state is now considering introducing laws to encourage companies to improve their employees work-life balance. Lets hope theyre not too late to save the British family. Otherwise, the British will always be too tired, and wont have enough time

52、and money, to have children. 50. The reason for young British people to live in their parents home until around 30 is that_.A. they enjoy family life with their parents. B. they dont have enough money to get married.C. they just enjoy the lovers world.D. they cant afford a house of their own before

53、30 years old.51. The British are now having fewer children than before for all the following reasons EXCEPT that_. A. they live much shorter lives than beforeB. they have fewer years to have childrenC. it is more expensive to rear a child D. the recent financial crisis is making people losing their

54、job.52. In order to encourage people to have more children, the British government is _.A. bringing down foods prices B. raising the salaries of parentsC. increasing subsidies for families and nursery schools. D. reducing family income tax.53. The underlined word “subsidies” in Paragraph 5 probably

55、means _. A. food supplied by the government. B. money from the government to benefit the public. C. free courses. D. free time to take care of their children.54. What can be inferred from the passage? .A. More families in Britain are breaking up because they are having fewer childrenB. It is hard fo

56、r British parents, who have to work long hours, to balance life and work. C. childcare takes up too much energy and time for the British young couples. D. British people work the longest and earn the least among Europeans.DToday I was at the mall waiting for friends, when a lady wearing a knit hat and a sweater came up to me and, shivering, said, “Im homeless. Would you mind buying me some food?” In that split second, everything Id learned since kindergarten flas
