Research advances over the past decade have told us that, with a little work, we humans can clone just about anything we want, from frogs to monkeys and probably even ourselves!
So, we can clone things, but why would we want to?
Of all the reasons, cloning for medical purposes has the most potential to benefit large numbers of people. How might cloning be used in medicine?
1. Cloning animal models of disease
Much of what researchers learn about human disease comes from studying animal models such as mice. Often, animal models are genetically engineered to carry disease-causing mutations(变异) in their genes. Creating these transgenic(转基因的) animals is a time-intensive process that requires trial-and-error and several generations of breeding(培育). Cloning technologies might reduce the time needed to make a transgenic animal model, and the result would be a population of genetically identical animals for study.
2.Cloning stem cells(干细胞) for the treatment of diseases
Stem cells are the body's building blocks, responsible for developing and repairing the body throughout life. As a result, they might be used to repair damaged or diseased organs and tissues. Researchers are currently looking up cloning as a way to create certain human stem cells for the research of diseases.
3. Cloning farm animals for drug production
Farm animals such as cows, sheep and goats are currently being genetically engineered to produce drugs or proteins that are useful in medicine. Just like creating animal models of disease, cloning might be a faster way to produce large herds of genetically engineered animals.
From Purpose One, we can infer that      .

A.most transgenic animals are clone
B.most animals carry engineered genes
C.most transgenic animal models are not cloned
D.most animals carry disease-causing mutations in their genes

It can be learned from Purpose Two that cloning technologies can be mainly use do    .

A.create damaged or diseased organs and tissues
B.clone genetically defined human stem cells
C.develop and maintain the body
D.repair the body throughout life

According to Purpose Three, cloning technologies can be mainly used to      .

A.speed up the producing of genetically engineered animals
B.produce drugs or proteins that are useful in medicine
C.raise genetically engineered cows, sheep and goats
D.produce large herds of animals for human beings

The rising costs of health care have become a problem for man y countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the state health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankruptif the patients had taken ways for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and trying to have enough vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.
  One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.
In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people’s health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one’s family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.    
However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.
What’s the best title of the passage?

A.Prevention or Education? B.Exercise or Illness?
C.Health or Illness? D.Prevention or Treatment?

Which of the following can replace the underlined word “bankrupt”?

A.Unable to be cured. B.Unable to pay one’s debts.
C.Stronger than ever before. D.More successful than ever before.

We learn from the passage that ______.

A.dressing warmly can prevent diseases.
B.a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise.
C.the more health education, the better.
D.the government’s health budget should be increased.

Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

For a 400-year-old art form, operas had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which are hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $ 145 a performance, opera goers also have a certain appearance in people’s mind: rich, well-dressed and old.
But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to bring the opera to the audience. It needs to keep it alive, the young and not-so-rich.
Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. That means no formal suits, old-styled theatre or band-breaking ticket prices. And because young people don’t or won’t come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.
The Houston Grand Opera’s choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions (剧本) of child-friendly operas. This summer’s production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists’ Training Program.   
Which is the main idea of this passage?

A.Opera is famous for its long history.
B.Opera is only for rich people.
C.Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive.
D.Young people are not interested in opera.

The underlined part in paragraph 2 means ______.

A.breaking up the old rules B.changing the formal suits
C.making the audience at ease D.advertising themselves

Opera companies prefer to perform smaller versions because      .

A.they can be performed in public libraries
B.short versions are easy to perform
C.it is hard to find long versions
D.they can make people interested

The San Francisco Opera Company employs student actors in order to ______.

A.attract young people B.reduce the cost
C.celebrate its 75th anniversary D.make Cinderella popular

What can you infer from the passage?

A.The tickets for operas are very expensive at present.
B.Operas are performed in a difficult language difficult to understand.
C.Operas are not so popular an art form today.
D.Students enjoy performing operas very much.

On March 5, 2009, Michael Jackson stood in front of crowds of fans.Before screaming fans, he pronounced with pumping arms: "This is it!"
A few months later, Jackson was dead.With the late pop star’s return to radio, television and the cultural events, Forbes judges that Jackson has made $90 million since his death June 25.This figure is based on his royalties(版税) from album sales, radio play, rights to his name and royalties from his stock in the Sony/ATV music catalog (编目权).
Jackson's music was his most easily-seen source in the last months.“Nothing increases the value of an artist than death ...an untimely death,” says Barry Massarsky, a music industry economist.
The music's immediate value was clear.Since June, Jackson has sold more than 5.9 million albums in the U.S.and another 4.5 million overseas.In the first weeks after his death, there were 5.6 million single downloads across North America, Europe and Australia.Jackson recently has three of the top 20 best-selling albums of the year in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.His 2003 hits album Number Ones is the best seller of the year, beating Taylor Swift's Fearless.
More than 500,000 Jackson ringtones and 100,000 music videos were sold.In the week following his death, songs by The Jackson 5, The Jacksons and Michael were played over 100,000 times on the radio, according to Nielsen BDS.
Jackson's estate(遗产)will likely see more money by the end of this year, as it has rights to some of the profits from This Is It as well as the two-disc album of the same name.The estate will share 90% of the film profits with AEG.
Ticket sales from an exhibit opening in London will also contribute a likely profit.Hundreds of Jackson's personal belongings-his L.A.Rolls Royce etc-will remain on show for three months at the O2 Arena for fans willing to shell out $25 for a view.
The pop singer bought ATV Publishing, for $47.5 million in 1985.Ten years later, he sold the catalog to Sony for $95 million and took a 50% stock in Sony/ATV, which is now worth about $1.7 to $2 billion.So he still owned half the Sony/ATV catalog at his death.
Jackson's future earning potential is based on his stock in valuable music as well as the value of his image(肖像).As many musicians, actors and artists before him, Jackson's fame could have a long tail on the market with allowable products, advertising and entertainment events.
What do Barry Massarsky’s words in Paragraph 3 imply?

A.Jackson died at the time as expected.
B.Only at death can an artist become famous.
C.Jackson became more famous at death than when he was alive.
D.Jackson’s unexpected death raised his value as an artist immediately.

All the following is true EXCEPT that _____.
A.“This is it” is the last concert that Jackson gave
B.Jackson has sold 10.4 million albums since June
C.Jackson’s L.A.Rolls Royce is now for show and will finally be sold
D.Jackson’s stock in music and his image will keep on earning money in the future
What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Jackson’s album Number Ones beat Taylor Swift’s Fearless in 2003.
B.Taylor Swift’s Fearless is the second best seller of music albums of 2009.
C.AEG takes in more film profits from “This is it” than Jackson’s estate.
D.More Jackson’s music videos were sold than his ringtones right after his death.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Why Michael Jackson’s music is so popular all over the world.
B.How Michael Jackson has earned $90 million in the months since his death.
C.What Michael Jackson's future earning potential is based on.
D.How much Michael Jackson earned in the first few months after his death.

We may be very pleased with the rapid progress we
have made in every field of study. But we have almost done
nothing to       (改善)our present examination systems                                   
which focus on testing the students’ m        instead of                                    
their ability. As     as a child begins school, he enters                                      
a world of examination,        will decide his future of job.                               
In fact a good examination system should     (鼓励)                                        
students to think for themselves.      the examination                                        
now does anything except that. It f      the students to                                     
remember what is taught to get     marks. Thus the students                              
who come out first in the exam often may be the b                                         
in their studies.       addition, such an examination system                                
often drives teachers to take up all the time and forces them
to train students what to do with the coming examination.
I hope there must be a better way to test a student’s true
ability as well.
