Part I I Reading Comprehension(本大题共 20 小题，每小题 2 分，共 40 分)
Section A
Directions:There are three passages in this ction.Each passage is
followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each
of them there arefour choices marked A), B), C) and D). You
should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding
letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Questions21to25are bad on the following passage.
Every pet owner loves his pet.There is no argument here.But when
we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals,the
respons were split almost down the middle.Of the 228readers who
answered it,108would clone and 111 would not.
Clearly, from readers’ respon, this is an issue that reaches deeply
into both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speaks,
as well, to people’s widely differing expectations over the developing学习跳绳
scientific procedure.
Most of the respondents who favored the idea strongly believed it
would produce at least a clo copy of the original;many felt the
process would actually return an exact copy. Tho on the other side,
however, held little hope a clone could ever truly recreate a pet; many
simply didn’t wish to go against the natural law of life and death.
Both sides expresd equal outpouring love for their animals.More
than a few respondents owned “the best dog/cat in the world” . They
thought of their pets as their “best friend”,“a member of the family,
”“the light of my life.”They told moving stories of pets’ heroism,
intelligence and lfless devotion.
Then the loss is so disturbing and the cloning so attractive. “People
become very clo to their animals,and the loss can be just as hard to
bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski,
author of Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdomfor Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a
Pet.“For me,cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away … It’s
understandable. Death is always painful. It’s difficult to deal with. It’s
hard to accept.”
济宁特色But would cloning reduce the blow?This question emed to be at the
heart of this issue.

D) about half of them are for it and the other half against it
22.While talking about the respondents from the readers,the expression
“eventual sadness of owning a pet” refers to __________.
A) the death of one’s pet
B) the high cost of owning a pet
C) the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a pet
D) the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet
23. Despite their differences on the issue of cloning, it ems that
__________.
A) people who support cloning love their pets more.
B) people who disapprove of cloning love their pets more

A) has never thought about the problem of cloning
B) is going to write another book on pets
C) is in favor of the idea of cloning pets
D) is all against the cloning of pets

D) How reliably does cloning produce an exact copy of one’s pet?
Passage Two
Questions26to30are bad on the following passage.
Like a needle climbing up a bathroom scale,the number keeps rising.
In 2001, 15% of Americans were obe; by 2009, that proportion had grown to 27%. Youngsters, who should have age and activity on their side, are growing larger as well: 19% of Americans under 17 are obe. Waistbands have been popping in other western countries too,as
physical activity has declined and diets have expanded.By and large,
people in the rich world em to have lost the fight against flab (松弛).
Meanwhile,poorer nations have enjoyed some success in their battles against malnutrition and famine.But,according to rearch prented at
the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science,it is more a ca of being out of the frying pan and into the fire.The most striking example in the poor world actually comes from the Pacific islands, home of the world’s most obe communities. In 2000, 14% of the men on this island were obe while 26% of men under the age of 30 in 2010 were obe.
This increa in weight has been uneven as well as fast. As a result, undernourished and over-nourished people frequently live cheek by jowl (面颊).The mix can even occur within a single houhold. A study of families in Indonesia found that nearly 10% contained both
the hungry and the fat. This is a mysterious phenomenon,but
might have something to do with people of different ages being given different amounts of food to eat.
肉的动漫In many affected countries there are cultural factors to contend with, such as an emphasis on eating
large meals together, or on food as a form of hospitality. Moreover, there is a good measure of disbelief on the part of policymakers that such a problem could exist in their countries.Unless something is done soon,it might not be possible
to turn the clock back.
