【正文】 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(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。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“對它的評價很低?！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(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 I stood in a noisy group of sixth grade students, waiting for the answer to our burning question: What type of crazy tie would Mr. Miller be wearing today? Our teacher walked around the er with a GREEN ELEPHANT TIE that matched his large elephant coffee cup! Oh, the satisfaction in our young hearts—a green elephant tie! With his glasses at the tip of his nose, he greeted us cheerfully, “Good morning, folks!” He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met. I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of… Feter Paul and Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”. Snickers（竊笑）filled the room. If it wasn39。t rap or hip hop, we didn39。t recognize it. What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening. Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musicalnote shirts as I greet them with a joyful, “Good morning, class!” I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day. I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award, which I received for being a dynamic teacher And I smile to myself, wondering which child in front of me will carry this on－as I39。ve carried on the legacy（遺產(chǎn)）of Mr. Miller. One teacher, who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me, threw the significant stone into the pond of my life. I pray the ripples（漣漪）never end.（1）What can we infer about Mr. Miller? A.He was an animal protector.B.He didn39。t take his work seriously.C.He often dressed up in an unusual way.D.He often asked his students burning questions.（2）How did the author react to the song “If I Had a Hammer”? A.Puzzled.B.Disappointed.C.Uninterested.D.Excited.（3）What does the underlined word “this” in the text refer to? A.A kind heart.B.The smile.C.A gift for music.D.The love for teaching.（4）What is the author39。s purpose in writing this text? A.To prove her love for music.B.To show a teacher39。s effect on her.C.T
