These monkeys are not actually the first primates（靈長類）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an earlystage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus（原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell. 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.t been tried before on primates. 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。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. 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.B.It can divide an earlystage embryo into several cells.It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.（2）What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2? A.B.Attaching no importance to it.D. purpose to clone these monkeys? A.B.To prepare for their research on human cloning.To raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.（4）What can we infer from the passage? A.B.Society won39。D.(1)考查細節(jié)理解。故選B。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。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。(3)考查推理判斷。 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。(4)考查推理判斷。故選D。2．閱讀理解 It turns out that this isn39。Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and pared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent of genes that match. 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. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those affecting sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes more often and are therefore more likely to meet and bee friends with each other. So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test and know in advance who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to figure it out by yourself and let time be the judge?（1）What is the author39。 （1）考查推
