　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Cloning is suggested as a means of bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed unfortunately. Some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. Here lies the_difficulty,_for the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. Since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interests, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fair to the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations?

　　Copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interests. But because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance, conflicts would be sure to arise if the cloned child failed to develop the same interests as the original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success_also_depends_on_fortune. What if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of their parents simply because of bad luck?

　　Every child should be wanted for itself, as a person. In making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is purposely specifying the way he or she wishes that child to develop. In recent years, particularly in the U．S., much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. So I suggest there should be a greater need to consider the interests of the child and to reject these suggested uses of cloning.

　　16．The underlined part “the difficulty” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.

　　A．cloning a baby is difficult

　　B．it's difficult to give birth to a new baby

　　C．the dead child can't come back again

　　D．the cloned baby can't replace the lost child

　　17．According to the passage，one of the reasons why couples usually decide to clone babies is ________.

　　A．to bring back a child killed unfortunately

　　B．to exchange their children

　　C．to develop the same interests as their child

　　D．to succeed in making fortune

　　18．The sentence “Success also depends on fortune” implies that ________.

　　A．the result may be unpredictable

　　B．the child does not live up to the parents' hopes

　　C．the cloned child fails to develop the same interest as the original

　　D．the baseball player turns to acting

　　19．We CAN'T conclude that ________ according to the observation made by the author.

　　A．it's important to consider the interests of the child rather than the suggested uses of cloning

　　B．parents can't expect to get the lost child back by cloning a new baby

　　C．much importance should be placed on the right of parents to reproduce babies in ways that they wish

　　D．every child should be wanted as a unique individual

　　B

　　答案

　　課時作業(三十七)

　　Ⅰ.1.D　考查同位語從句。根據語意“我不知道那位記者從哪里得到的信息”可知，此處應用where引導同位語從句，解釋idea的具體內容，所以這里選D項。

　　2．A　考查表語從句。that引導的表語從句，而且不可以省略。

　　3．B　考查同位語從句。句意：他在信中承諾：在即將到來的圣誕節來看望我。由句子結構可以看出promise后的從句非常完整，不缺少任何句子成分；由題意可知該從句用以說明promise的內容，所以可判斷出是一個同位語從句，因為是在陳述一個事實，故引導詞要用that。

　　4．C　考查定語從句。先行詞warmer climates在從句中作地點狀語(表示抽象的地點)，故用where引導。

　　5．C　考查動詞辨析。句意：威廉發現讀書越來越難，因為他的視力正逐漸變弱。disappear“消失”；fall“落下，(數量﹑ 數目)下降”；fail“(指健康)衰退，變弱，消失”；damage毀壞。

　　6．A　考查forbid的用法。這里考查的是forbid sb. to do sth.的被動語態。句意：眾所周知，無論是誰，在公共汽車上都是禁止吸煙的。

　　7．C　考查交際用語。C項意思為“別費心了，不必要了”，與Let's come to the point(讓我們言歸正傳吧)相吻合。A項 “不用謝”；B、D兩項語氣太生硬，有失禮貌。

　　8．C　考查冠詞用法。第一空后名詞strike與空前介詞on構成固定短語go on strike，意為“罷工”，故用零冠詞；第二空后名詞是可數名詞的單數，表泛指，前加不定冠詞，故選C。

　　9．A　考查固定短語辨析。句意：爭吵過后，我盡力去消除我們之間的誤會，但是我的努力看起來都白費了。in vain “白費地，徒勞無益地”；in case “免得，以防”；in time “及時，遲早”；in trouble “處于困境”。故選A。

　　10．A　考查冠詞用法。honor指的是具體的一件事，所以前面要用不定冠詞，第二空修飾的是最高級，所以用定冠詞the。句意：中國研發出世界上速度最快的電腦是一個極大的榮譽。

　　11．B　考查動詞短語辨析。put off意為“推遲，取消”。句意：他們本來打算那天到鄉下去，但聽說交通堵塞就作罷了。put away放好；put up舉起，張貼，建造，提供(住宿)；put down放下，寫下。

　　12．A　考查forbid doing sth.的用法。句意：有些國家的法律禁止在不適當的時間和地點播出廣告。由于advertisements與動詞show之間為被動關系，所以選A。

　　13．C　考查介詞的選擇和賓語從句。句意：他做這件事的方式和我們以前所習慣的方式不同。“與……不同”用be different from…結構，what引導的賓語從句，相當于the way that…；which也可以引導賓語從句，但是表示疑問，而此處不表疑問。

　　14．B　考查非限制性定語從句的關系詞。第一空是as引導的非限制性定語從句(可放句首)；第二空是which引導的非限制性定語從句。句意：正如人們所預料的只有5人參加了聚會，這令女主人很失望。

　　15．D　考查副詞辨析。shortly “很快，不久”。句意：過了沒有多久，警察攔住了那輛汽車，兩個人都被逮捕了。immediately立刻，馬上；promptly 敏捷地；deliberately故意地。均不合句意。

　　Ⅱ.A

　　克隆現在得到了很好的應用。能不能克隆小孩子呢？本文對這個問題進行了探討，認為克隆“小孩”有很多困難，關鍵是克隆技術再好，也代替不了“原來的孩子”。

　　16．D　詞義推測題。 克隆小孩的困難在于“克隆小孩代替不了死去的小孩”，故選D。

　　17．A　細節理解題。夫妻克隆小孩的原因有兩個：“bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed unfortunately”和“have the child of their dreams”。

　　18．A　句意理解題。 成功還要靠運氣，暗示著結果不可預知。
