20、nd visit old friends.Finally,in the United States,the passage into adulthood takes several years.American teenagers can get a drivers license at the age of 16.The legal age of adulthood is 18.However,they must wait until age 21 to buy alcohol.OK,thats all for my lecture.You are required to write a s

23、hnson pretty much have me convinced that human cloning is quite possible and is a future certainty.Kurpinski and Johnson are both bio-engineering experts;unlike similar scientists you have seen in the movies,they both have a sense of humour.What surprises me is that Kurpinski and Johnson are able to

24、 take something as complicated as DNA and make it understandable.The book How to Defeat Your Own Clone teaches us what is now known as DNA-encoded(编码),how that happens,and why people with similar DNA dont look or act the same.The book not only helps us get a basic understanding of what DNA and its p

25、urpose are,but also explains cloning and stem cell(干细胞) research.It occurs to me that a lot of people who are against stem cell research dont know what they are protesting about.The authors provide a history of cloning,as well as information about stem cells.The real fun starts when the authors atta

26、ck various myths about cloning.Obviously,too many people have been watching too many bad movies and television programs.Remember theyre just fictional stories.If,somehow,scientists manage to clone you,twenty years from now your clone isnt going to kill you.Among the myths explored and exploded are t

27、hat a clone will know everything you know and will act as you do,that heads which are cut off can be kept alive,and that a clone has no belly button(肚脐 ).Many of the myths are ridiculous but many people believe them.Kurpinski and Johnson also detail some bio-improvements “that really work”.You see,g

28、enes can be controlled to help you sleep better and become smarter,healthier,and taller.Well.not exactly you,but future generations.If you do wind up in a battle with your own clone,who will be considerably younger than you,remember that it is not you and that it doesnt know what you know.21.Many bi

29、oengineering experts in movies are . A.humorous B.wealthyC.serious D.crazy答案:C解析:推理判断题。从第一段中的 “.unlike similar scientists you have seen in the movies,they both have a sense of humor.”可知电影中的生物工程学家一般都是没有幽默感的。22.Which of the following things are in the book How to Defeat Your Own Clone?a.What DNA and i

30、ts purpose are.b.Who is against cloning.c.The history of cloning.d.The myths about cloning.e.The disadvantages of cloning.A.a,b,e B.a,c,dC.b,d,e D.b,c,d答案:B解析:细节理解题。从第二段中的 “The book not only helps us get a basic understanding of what DNA and its purpose are.The authors provide a history of cloning.”

31、及第三段中的“The real fun starts when the authors attack various myths about cloning.”可知答案。23.We can learn from the passage that biotechnology . A.has been banned in many countries around the worldB.is being used to improve ones intelligence right nowC.can help improve the physical condition of future gen

32、erationsD.is sure to cure any disease in the near future答案:C解析:推理判断题。从第四段中的 “.genes can be controlled to help you sleep better and become smarter,healthier,and taller.Well.not exactly you,but future generations.”可知 C 项正确。B导学号 36224032Food Standards Agency(FSA) research found that most British people

33、 think that cloning animals is interfering with nature,and that the only winners would be organizations like biotech companies and food retailers,with no benefit to consumers.The public are worried about the animal welfare horrors that cloning involves,and concerned about the safety of food from clo

34、ned animals.Yet FSA boss Tim Smith says he has “no concerns”.Who is right? Cloning and GM crops takes farming in a direction which the public rightly distrust.The only major international scientific assessment(估计) of the future of agriculture,in the face of climate change and increased population,su

35、pports the public.Some 400 international scientists concluded that in future we must farm in ways which increase diversity of cropping to improve food security and rely less on artificial fertilizers (made from fossil fuels),as oil becomes scarcer and more expensive.The development of cloned animals

36、 dramatically narrows the genetic base on which our food production relies,just when we need to widen it.Cloned dairy and beef cattle are designed for maximum meat and milk output,but that requires massive inputs of grain and soya.Cattle should eat grass we cant eat,not grain we can.Soya increasingl

37、y comes from cleared rainforests.This is the wrong direction not just for farming,but for the planet.For human health,no evidence of danger is not the same as safe.Theres been no long term safety testing of meat or milk from cloned cattleif business interests get their way,there never will be.It is

38、a scandal(丑行) that were even considering cloning animals,given that we already know that terrible suffering it imposes on surrogate(代理) mothers and the many cloned offspring(后代) where things go wrong.On this,the public are right.24.What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean?A.Agree

39、with. B.Go against.C.Reflect on. D.Depend on.答案:B解析:词义猜测题。联系上下文可知 ,人们觉得克隆动物违背自然规律的。25.Many scientists disagree with food from cloned animals on the point that . A.the meat is not safe to eatB.cloning animals costs a lot of time and moneyC.cloning animals goes in the opposite direction of the genetic

40、 baseD.cloned animals cannot provide enough food答案:C解析:细节理解题。从“The development of cloned animals dramatically narrows the genetic base on which our food production relies just,when we need to widen it.”可知,克隆动物食品违背了基因食品的初衷。26.With more cattle there will be . A.less land for rainforestsB.less land for

41、 grassC.more land for soyaD.more land for rainforests答案:A解析:推理判断题。从“Cloned dairy and beef cattle are designed for maximum meat and milk output,but that requires massive inputs of grain and soya.Cattle should eat grass we cant eat,not grain we can.Soya increasingly comes from cleared rainforests.”可以知

42、道,为了给越来越多的克隆动物创造饲料,我们必须砍伐更多的森林来种草。27.It has not been proved . A.organizations like biotech companies and food retailers will get interest from the cloned animalsB.we can get lots of food from cloned animalsC.cloning animals makes terrible suffering on surrogate mothersD.food from cloned animals is s

43、afe答案:D解析:细节理解题。从“There s been no long term safety testing of meat or milk from cloned cattle.”可知 ,还没有最终测定用克隆动物制造的食品是安全的。CNowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods(GM foods).GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms(有机体),which have had specific changes int

44、roduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques.These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change.For many people,the high-tech production raises all kinds of environmental,ethical,health and safety problems.Particula

45、rly in countries with long farming traditions,the idea seems against nature.In fact,GM foods are already very much a part of our lives.They were first put on the market in 1996.A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the US last year was the product of biotechnology,according to t

46、he Department of Agriculture.More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year.The genetic genie is out of the bottle. However,like any new product entering the food chain,GM foods must be subjected to careful testing.In wealthy countries,the debate about b

47、iotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from,and a supply that goes beyond the needs.In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations,the matter is simpler and much more urgent:do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?T

48、he statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing.Last year the worlds population reached 6 billion.The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy.About 400 million women of childbearing age dont have enough iron,which means their babies are exposed to various

49、 birth defeats.As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency,a leading cause of blindness.How can biotech help?Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values.Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops.Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attributable to drought,poor soil and crop viruses
