| 阅读理解 | Tony: These days, the word "clone" has been seen very often in the newspapers. Do you know
its meaning?
Lana: I read a report. It said that Dr. Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb named Dolly from
a grown-up sheep. So people call him the "father" of Dolly.
Tony: In fact, the word "clone" means to produce the "same" animal by taking cells from a
grown-up one. I think, if we know how to do cloning, we need only to keep a small number
of sheep, cows or horses.
Lana: What"s more, these days some people even want to clone humans. They have asked: Can
we clone ourselves?
Tony: It seems interesting. But do you think it possible to do that?
Lana: No, impossible! First, I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body
are dead already.
Tony: Then can we clone a living person?
Lana: Again no! You might clone yourself one after another, but it is only a copy, not a real you.
It is only something, not a "human".
Tony: Well, you mean that it is not a real human.
Lana: True enough! I think Dr. Wilmut would most like to make better animals, and it has nothing
to do with human cloning. | | 1. The word "clone" means ___________. | A. to give birth to a new life

I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful peacocks
(孔雀) here.
The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square. They are given food freely
by visitors. They usually throw food to them, and don"t think about at all whether the food is right
or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the
visitors.
I"m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but don"t
realize that they may be doing them harm.
The visitors should be told that what they have done is very harmful to the birds, and this kind
of thing must be stopped from happening.
Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us
every person, it is our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
Yours,
Sun Yan | | 1. Many visitors came to the writer"s city to _____. | A. do some shopping

(老鼠) in Newtown. They attacked the cats and dogs. Sometimes a great number of them knocked
down a man or woman walking home at night. The rats were very large and they harmed many people.
The Government (政府) ordered everybody to kill rats. Most people were very lazy, so they did
not kill them. Then the Government promised to pay some money for each dead rat. That made
people very happy. A Government officer put all the dead rats in a big pile. Sometimes a man brought
hundreds in a day.
After two weeks there were not many rats in the city, but people still brought rats to the
Government officer. The Government officer thought that people were stealing dead rats from the
pile. He ordered his men to dig a deep hole and put the rats in it. Soon there were no more rats,
