【文章內容簡介】 uld 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，科學家們利用高科技克隆猴子幫助研究人類疾病。(1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的“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。根據第二段中的“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“對它的評價很低?！惫蔬xB。(3)考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的“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評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，根據上下文進行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Home Laundry Automatic Dryer Product Full Two Year Warranty（保修） Limited Five Year Warranty on Cabinet（機箱） Warranty Provides for： FIRST TWO YEARS Amana will repair or replace any faulty part free of charge.

Adjustments covered during first year only.Warranty Does Not Cover It If： Product has damage due to product change，connection to an improper electrical supply shipping and handling, accident, fire, floods, lightning or other conditions beyond the control of Amana. Product is improperly installed（安裝）or applied. Owner39。s Responsibilities： Provide sales receipt. Normal care and repair. Having the product reasonably accessible for service. Pay for service calls related to product installation or usage instructions. Pay for extra service costs, over normal service charges, if servicer is requested to perform service outside servicer^ normal business hours. In no event shall Amana be responsible for consequential damages（間接損壞）. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have others which vary from state to state For example, some states do not allow the exclusion（排除）or limitation of consequential damages, so this exclusion may not apply to you.（1）According to Warranty Limitations, a product can be under warranty if .
