In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same greatgreatgreat grandparents as you. 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.“和最后一段中的“Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.“可知，克隆一只猴子的成功率并不高。 pouring water on the idea that the team39。t agree to clone another monkey.D.Having a low opinion of it.C. they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.（1）What do we know about the technology called SCNT? A.It can divide an earlystage embryo into several cells. purpose to clone these monkeys? A.(1)考查細節(jié)理解。(3)考查推理判斷。2．閱讀理解 So is it a coincidence that you bee friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution that brings you together. 可知，這篇文章主要講述關(guān)于交朋友的這項新發(fā)現(xiàn)。實際上，是進化將你們帶到一起。 These results suggest that creativity is not an individual characteristic but a product of context and perspective. Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.B.your creativity is determined by yourself（3）According to Dr. Pillay, Halloweenism works because pretend to be someone else根據(jù)第一段可知作者問讀者一條褲子可以有多少種不同的用法?并讓讀者假設(shè)自己是一名建筑師，比爾蓋茨，帶水肺的潛水員，一個中世紀(jì)的騎士等等思考同樣的問題；再根據(jù)第二段”What you just practicedthe conscious act of wearing another selfis an exercise that…is essential to being creative.“可知作者接著說剛才你所練習(xí)的173。每個人都可以有創(chuàng)造力，只要他或她覺得自己是一個有創(chuàng)造力的人。根據(jù)第四段中的”He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陳詞濫調(diào)的) advice that urges you to ‘believe in yourself.’ In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.“可知想象自己處在一個新的環(huán)境中，或者是一個全新的身份，你會感到從未有過的高效，你讓自己更有創(chuàng)造力。“Researchers …surveyed 149 respondents aged 21 o 65 about the proportion of green space in their neighborhood…”研究人員調(diào)查了年齡在21~65歲之間的149名參與者小區(qū)內(nèi)的綠植比例……；以及“The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety…”研究中還問了與抑郁及焦慮有關(guān)的問題……等可知，第二段主要介紹了新研究的調(diào)查內(nèi)容，故選D。縱觀全文可知，本文介紹了一項科學(xué)研究的研究成果，所以該文章最有可能出現(xiàn)在“技術(shù)與科學(xué)”版塊。An app in students39。Acquisition.To help students suffering anxiety.B.（1）細節(jié)理解題。明年秋天，該中心將對一種新的擁有七個模塊的認(rèn)知行為療法應(yīng)用程序進行測試，學(xué)生可以通過手機獲取該應(yīng)用，并可與治療師進行簡短的視頻談話。 Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person pany and helps them remember to take their medicine. That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The researchers received a $ 3milliondollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or ., to Hasbro39。 It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott. Her 93yearold mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown. Derr has dementia (癡呆). The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has bee a true panion for Derr. The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Elliott is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater.B.C.The cat gives much help to the elderly.B.(1)目的意圖題。故答案選A。When they were built.（2）What are we aware of about the construction of the temples? A.By hiking there.By taking water.D.答案需要從文章的根據(jù)第三段Of course the temples would have looked rather different when they were constructed….Who knows? We do know that they were changed and added to over a 1,000 year period or
