举一反三
There is federal official law banning cloning in the United States, but several states have passed their own laws to ban the practice. The US Food and Drugs Administration(FDA), has also said that anyone in the United States attempting human cloning must first get its permission. In Japan, human cloning is a crime that is punished by up to 10 years in prison.
While laws are to ban cloning at this time, some scientists believe that the technology is not ready to be tested on humans. Ian Wilmut, one of the co-creators of Dolly, has even said that human cloning projects would be an irresponsible crime. Cloning technology is still in its early stages, and nearly 98% percent of cloning efforts end in failure. The embryos are either not suitable for implanting into the uterus(子宫) or they die shortly after birth.
The clones that do survive end up suffering from deadly or problematic genetic abnormalities(畸形). Some clones have been born with faulty heart, lung problems and blood vessel problems. One of the most famous cases was a cloned sheep that was born with but malformed arteries(畸形动脉) leading to the lungs.
Opponents of cloning will point out that we can enthanize(安乐死) these faulty clones of other animals, but they ask what if a human clone is born with these same problems. Advocates of cloning respond that it is now easier to pick out faulty embryos even before they are implanted into the mother. The debate over human cloning is just beginning, but as science advances, it could be the biggest moral dilemma of the 21st century.
68. Which word in the text is the opposite of the underlined word “opponents”?
A. critics B. advocates C. scientists D. co-creators
69. The writer writes this passage mainly to ________________.
A. support passing laws to ban human cloning
B. list problems with human cloning
C. introduce critics’ ideas about human cloning
D. state the debate over human cloning
70. Which of the following will Ian Wilmut probably NOT agree with?
A. Cloning technology is in its early stages.
B. Human cloning should be made illegal.
C. Very few cloning efforts are successful.
D. Cloning technology is ready to be tested on humans
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro- processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle"s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.
In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,’ says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won"t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner"s keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.
If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.
Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle"s movements via the car"s GPS unit.
66. What"s the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?
A .To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.
B. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.
C. To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.
D. To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.
67. By saying "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed" (Lines 1-2.Para. 3). Martyn Randall suggests that ____.
A. self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft
B. the thief has to make use of computer technology
C. it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealing
D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old
68. What is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal?
A. A GPS satellite positioning receiver. B. A unique ID card.
C. A special cellphone signal. D. A coded ignition key.
69. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?
A. To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.
B. To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.
C. To keep police informed of the car"s movements.
D. To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.
70. What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?
A. Start the tracking system. B. Locate the missing car.
C. Contact the car owner. D. Block the car engine
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their advantages, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.
61. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Finding a job. B. College students’ part-time jobs.
C. Craigslist Web site. D. The relation between study and work.
62. By logging on the Craigslist Web site, you can ______.
A. sell your old things B. do some shopping online
C. create your own announcement board D. get useful information about 450 cities
63. “What Color is Your Parachute?” is a book which gives tips to those who want to _____.

Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we 36 not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of 37 . Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. 38 his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his 39 company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new 40 .
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it 41 a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not 42 that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. 43 , schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators 44 creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cannot recognize ways to use it in new 45 . They may know the rules correctly, but they are 46 to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children 47 . From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the 48 decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is ___49___the most important character of creative people is a very strong ___50 to find a way out of trouble.

filming the neighborhood, saying they feared he world encourage thieves, a report said Friday.
One local, Paul Jacobs, told the BBC he had warned his neighbors after spotting the car from
his window in Broughton, Buckinghamshire, southern England, on Wednesday.
“I don’t have a problem with Google wanting to promote villages. What I have a problem with
is the invasion (侵犯)of privacy, taking pictures directly into the home,” Jacobs said.
“We’ve already had three homes broken into locally in the past six weeks. If our houses are
made noticeable all over Google, it’s an invitation for more criminals to strike. I was determined to
make a stand, so I called the police.”
After his call, a police car arrived in Broughton in response to an argument between a crowd of people and a Google Street View contractor.
“They felt his presence was a threat to their privacy. When police arrived at the scene, the car had moved on,” explained a spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police.
The Google Street View project, set up last month in Britain, aims to provide detailed 360-degree views online of streets all over Britain.
The project has already been strongly criticized by associations like Privacy International, a pressure group which has launched legal action against the IT company.
Google is confident that their new mapping project is within the law.
“Before launching Street View we sought the guidance and approval of the Information Commissioner’s Office. The ICO has repeatedly made clear that it believes that Street View includes the safeguards necessary to protect people’s privacy,” a Google spokesman said.
“The Metropolitan Police (in London) told us they saw no significant security risk, that thieves are likely to make use of the opportunities, and that mapping products can be useful in solving and mapping crime in an area.”
He added: “Engaged in new projects, we sometimes meet unexpected challenges, and Street View has been no exception.”
41.When the police car arrived at the village, .
A.the villagers were angrily arguing with the Google car driver.
B.the map car was stopped from leaving the village.
C.The map car had stopped its working and gone on its way.
D.The map car was surrounded by the angry villagers.
42.The underlined phrase “make a stand” in Paragraph 4 means .
A.stand there all the time whole waiting for the police
B.show full support to Google’s filming the neighborhood
C.attempt to defend locals by stopping Google’s filming the neighborhood
D.stand in the way to stop the car moving on
43.Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A.Google’s mapping project has not been officially approved.
B.Three homes had been visited by thieves with the help of Google pictures.
C.The police rushed to stop a fight between locals and Google contractors.
D.It was not the first time that the Google map project had been criticized.
