【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 ny attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers39。 pouring water on the idea that the team39。s results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. 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. But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing nonhuman primate models for human diseases。 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 created the first two primates.B.It may contribute to editing the DNAC.It can divide an earlystage embryo into several cells.D.It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.（2）What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2? A.Keeping a hot topic of it.B.Having a low opinion of it.C.Attaching no importance to it.D.Adding supportive evidence to it.（3）What is the scientists39。 purpose to clone these monkeys? A.To help with the study of human diseases.B.To serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.C.To prepare for their research on human cloning.D.To raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.（4）What can we infer from the passage? A.New techniques seem to be pointless.B.Cloning humans is already on its way.C.Society won39。t agree to clone another monkey.D.The success rate of cloning a monkey was not high.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，科學(xué)家們利用高科技克隆猴子幫助研究人類疾病。(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.”可知，SCNT可能有助于編輯DNA。故選B。(2)考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第二段中的“Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers39。 pouring water on the idea that the team39。s results bring scientists closer to cloning humans.”可知在第二段中“pouring water on the idea”的意思是“對(duì)它的評(píng)價(jià)很低?！惫蔬xB。(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, their research purpose is entirely for producing nonhuman primate models for human diseases。 they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans.”可知，科學(xué)家們克隆這些猴子的目的是幫助研究人類疾病。故選A。(4)考查推理判斷。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。故選D?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解TEACH AND TRAVEL: USE OUR SPONSORSHIP TO BECOME ACERTIFIED TEACHER IN WEEKSwhere the world meetsWHAT39。S INCLUDED IN THE SPONSORED ANGLOTEFL (TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE) SCHOLARSHIP:●A partly sponsored, 120hour online TEFL training course●210 hours of reallife teaching experience● A TEFL certificate upon pletion of the Scholarship●Full board during Angloville programs (three meals a day)HOW IT WORKS:APPLYChoose your venues (地點(diǎn)) and apply online REFUNDABLE CONFIRMATION FEEPay 69 EUR confirmation fee (50 EUR Refundable (可退還的) on Completion)TEACHING PRACTICEGet Access to TEFL course amp。 attend Teaching Practice with AnglovilleTYPES OF 39。TEACHING EXPERIENCE39。 PROGRAMMES:Angloville Junior －ideal for 1835 yearold AngloTEFL participants.
