2、ho answered it, 108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.Clearly, from readers' 4 above, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the 5 and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people's widely differing expectations over
3、the developing scientific procedure.Most of the respondents who 6 the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would 7 return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held 8 hope and thought clone could truly 9a pet; many simply did
4、n't wish to go against the natural law of life and death.Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More of them 10 “the best dog/cat in the world”. They 11 their pets as their “best friend”,“a member of the family”,“the light of my life”.They told 12 stories of pet's heroism, intell
5、igence and selfless devotion.“People become very 13 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 Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet.“For me, cloning feels like a(n) 14 to turn death aw
6、ay. It's understandable. Death is always painful.It's difficult to deal with. It's hard to 15.” But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seems to be at the heart of his problem.1.A.agreementB.argumentC.acceptance D.discussion解析:句意:人人都喜愛自己的寵物,關(guān)于這一點,沒有什么爭議。答案:B2.A.clone B.produceC.
7、create D.make解析:由下文可知,本文主要講述了對“克隆”寵物的一些看法,故選clone。答案:A3.A.end B.topC.middle D.center解析:由下句可知,在228位給出回復(fù)的讀者中,108位同意克隆寵物,111位不同意,幾乎各占一半,故應(yīng)用middle,即在中間劃分開來。答案:C4.A.respondent B.respondC.response D.action解析:此段的結(jié)論是從上段讀者對問卷的“回答”得出的。response“回答,答復(fù)”。答案:C5.A.sorrow B.unhappinessC.joy D.regret解析:克隆寵物這一話題觸及了人們養(yǎng)
8、寵物的兩種不同的感情,即快樂和悲傷。下文已出現(xiàn)sadness,故此處應(yīng)用joy。答案:C6.A.agreed B.disagreedC.favored D.approved解析:favor“支持”,其后直接跟賓語。agree,disagree和approve后接賓語時,需接介詞。答案:C7.A.hardly B.nearlyC.mostly D.actually解析:句意:許多人以為這一過程實際上會回報給他們幾乎完全一樣的復(fù)制品。actually“事實上,實際上”。答案:D8.A.great B.littleC.much D.less解析:支持者滿懷希望,而反對者則抱有很少的希望,故用litt
9、le。此處無比較意味。答案:B9.A.turn B.creatC.change D.recreate解析:他們抱有很少的希望認(rèn)為克隆的確能“重新創(chuàng)造(recreate)”一個寵物。答案:D10.A.won B.ownedC.recreated D.returned解析:由下文可知,此處是指很多的受訪者都認(rèn)為自己“擁有”世界上最好的寵物。答案:B11.A.looked B.thoughtC.found D.treated解析:treat.as.“把看作”。look/think.to be, look on/think of.as也有相同的意義。答案:D12.A.touched B.movedC.
10、moving D.sympathetic解析:由人們對寵物的高評價可知,他們會講關(guān)于寵物的感人故事。moving“感人的”。答案:C13.A.near B.closeC.familiar D.closely解析:表示兩者間關(guān)系“親密的,親近的”用close。near是距離方面“近的”;familiar“熟悉的”;closely“密切地,緊密地”。答案:B14.A.attempt B.approachC.thought D.idea解析:句意:克隆技術(shù)感覺像是企圖避開死亡。attempt“試圖,企圖”。答案:A15.A.realize B.acceptC.receive D.be admitte
11、d解析:接受死亡是很難的。accept“承認(rèn);接受”。答案:B第二節(jié):語法填空(共10小題,每小題1.5分,滿分15分)閱讀下面短文,按照句子結(jié)構(gòu)的語法性和上下文連貫的要求,在空格處填入一個適當(dāng)?shù)脑~或使用括號中詞語的正確形式填空。With the reform of Chinese higher education,more and more colleges and universities put emphasis on nurturing students' abilities.16a result,elective courses are 17 (avail) not only

15、兩節(jié),滿分50分)第一節(jié):閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中,選出最佳選項。AThe over55s who grew up watching blackandwhite programs and films are more likely to dream in grey,research suggests.And the under25s who have watched color TV all their lives tend to have colorful adventures
16、in the land of nod.Research from the first half of the 20th century,especially in the 1930s and 1950s,suggested that most dreams are in black and white.But results from tests in the 1960s and later suggested that up to 80 per cent of dreams contain some colors.Since this period marked the transition
17、 (過渡) from blackandwhite films and TV to widespread Technicolor (彩色印片法),an obvious explanation was that television was influencing dreams,but differences between the studies prevented the researchers from drawing any firm conclusions.Later studies asked subjects (實驗對象) to complete dream
18、diaries immediately they woke up,but the earlier research used questionnaires completed in the middle of the day,so the subjects might have simply forgotten color elements in their dreams and assumed they were grey.To solve the problem,psychologist Eva Murzyn asked 60 subjects,half of whom were unde
19、r 25 and half over 55,to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure (暴露) to films and TV.The subjects then recorded different aspects of their dreams in a diary every morning.She found there was no significant difference between results drawn from the questionna
20、ires and the dream diaries.She then analyzed data to find out whether an early exposure to blackandwhite TV or films could still have a lasting effect on her subjects' dreams,40 years later.Less than five per cent of the under25s' dreams were black and white.But the over
21、73;55s who had access to blackandwhite media in their younger days reported dreaming in black and white roughly a quarter of the time.Murzyn said,“There could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big influence on the way dreams are formed.” People's attenti
22、on might be heightened during the time they are watching TV or films.語篇解讀:本文報道了對人們夢境顏色的最新研究成果:從小看黑白電視長大的人,其夢境的顏色很可能是灰色的;從小看彩色電視長大的人,其夢境可能是彩色的。26.“this period” in the fifth paragraph refers to.A.the 20th centuryB.the 1930sC.the 1950s D.the 1960s and later解析:指代題。根據(jù)文中的 But results from tests in the 196
23、0s and later suggested that up to 80 per cent of dreams contain some colors 可知,此處的“這個時期”是指20世紀(jì)60年代。答案:D27.The underlined words “in the land of nod”in Paragraph 2 means.A.in the eveningB.during travellingC.in a dream worldD.when they are thinking解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)上下文可知此處是對從小看彩色電視長大的人的夢境之進行研究,故C正確。答案:C28.Mur
24、zyn's study was different from other studies because .A.more people of different ages were involved B.both diaries and questionnaires were used C.more advanced technology was usedD.subjects were given more time to record their dreams 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六、七、八三段可知,早期對夢境的研究是讓實驗者填寫問卷調(diào)查;而后來的研究是讓實驗者記錄有關(guān)夢的日記。
25、而 Murzyn 的研究使用了這兩種方法,故選B項。答案:B 29.From the passage,we can learn that .A.studies on the color of dreams have been going on for many yearsB.the results of the previous studies on dreams couldn't be trustedC.older people are more likely to be influenced by TV viewing D.the colors of TV sets are mor
26、e likely to appear in viewings' dreams 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的1930s和1950s可知,在很多年前已經(jīng)有關(guān)于夢境顏色的研究了,因此選A項。答案:A30.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The color of people's dreams changes along with their ages.B.TV viewing has different influences on different people.C.Childhood TV viewing may determine
27、 the color of dreams.D.Childhood TV viewing may influence a person's later life.解析:主旨大意題。文章的最后一段是結(jié)論,即文章中心:兒童時期所看電視或電影的顏色會對他們以后的夢境顏色產(chǎn)生影響,C項符合該主旨。答案:CBHave you heard the old saying that laughter is the best medicine?Then listen to this.Seriously,research has already shown that mental stress can li
28、mit blood flow to the heart.But now a study has linked laughter to increased blood flow.Laughter appears to cause the tissue inside blood vessels to expand.As a result,laughing may be important to reduce the risk of heart disease.So says Doctor Michael Miller of the University of Maryland Medical Ce
29、nter.He led a study of twenty healthy men and women.To make them laugh,they watched the comedy Kingpin.To create the opposite emotions,they watched the battle in war movie Saving Private Ryan.The researchers used ultrasound (超聲波) technology to measure changes in blood flow through an artery (動脈) in
30、the arm.Blood flow increased in nineteen of the twenty people after they watched Kingpin.The increase was an average of twentytwo percent.Doctor Miller says that is similar to the effects of aerobic (有氧的) exercise.Blood flow decreased in fourteen of the twenty people after they watched Saving
31、Private Ryan.The decrease was an average of thirtyfive percent.Studies have shown that stress can reduce the body's ability to fight disease.When the body is under stress,it produces hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin.Cortisol is related to fear;adrenalin prepares the body to react.Bu
32、t too much of these hormones can be harmful.Doctor Miller noted that the study could not explain how laughter is responsible for the effects observed.Do the effects come from the movement of muscles,or from a chemical release?The researchers say laughter may cause the body to release pleasure chemic
33、als,just as when a person exercises.Doctor Miller says these endorphins (腦內(nèi)啡) may block the effect of stress hormones and cause the blood vessels to expand.Laughter may also influence the release of nitric oxide (氧化氮),which too expands blood passages.The results were presented at a meeting of the Am
34、erican College of Cardiology.Doctor Miller does not advise people to replace exercise with laughter.But,based on the results,he does suggest fifteen minutes of laughter each day.語篇解讀:“笑一笑十年少”這句話是有科學(xué)根據(jù)的,在本文中我們可知笑給人身體帶來的種種益處。31.What do we know about Doctor Miller's experiment?A.It is of great succ
35、ess in this field of scientific research.B.We should watch comedy to make ourselves laugh.C.If a person is under pressure,he is easy to get ill.D.Hormones can do much harm to human body.解析:細節(jié)理解題。證據(jù)在文章第六段第一句:壓力可能會減低人們對疾病的抵抗力。答案:C32.We can infer that“hormones” in Paragraph 6 is .A.an artificial substa
36、nceB.a kind of emotionC.a chemical substance produced in the bodyD.a substance making people laugh解析:詞匯理解題。根據(jù)后文對cortisol和adrenalin的描述以及之前的it可知hormones是一種由身體自身產(chǎn)生的物質(zhì)。因此選項C為正確答案。答案:C33.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Ultrasound technology is used to measure changes in bloo
37、d flow.B.Aerobic exercise can increase the blood flow inside human bodies.C.Doctor Miller's study shows how laughter can expand the blood vessels.D.Scientists believe that laughter may cause the body to release pleasure chemicals.解析:細節(jié)理解題。證據(jù)在文章倒數(shù)第三段:米勒博士說這項研究不能解釋大笑是如何產(chǎn)生如上所述的結(jié)果的。答案:C34.From the l
38、ast two paragraphs we know that.A.laughter may not take the place of exerciseB.nitric oxide blocks the blood vessels from expandingC.Doctor Miller works at the American College of CardiologyD.we must laugh 15 minutes each day to keep healthy解析:細節(jié)理解題。從最后一段可知:博士沒有建議人們用大笑來替代運動。答案:A35.What's the bes
39、t title for this passage?A.Laughter is the best medicineB.Study shows laughter is good for the heartC.How to reduce the risk of heart diseaseD.Doctor Michael Miller's important study解析:歸納標(biāo)題題。從文章的第一段可知大笑可以減少心臟病發(fā)生的幾率。答案:BCI quit the game,WOW,a couple of years ago.My life has improved dramatically.
40、I went from being single to being engaged,I received a second promotion in my career,and life couldn't be better.But even then,I still had an urge to play and I thought about it every day.About a month ago,I decided to start playing again.My friends still played and claimed that it's better
41、than before.So I figured I'd give it a shot,and so far I've managed my time well.But the funny thing is that I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would.That sense of accomplishment I used to have back then is gone.I figured out why.My enjoyment in the game came from progression.I l
42、oved accomplishing quests,hitting 60,and then beating the bosses with 40 other people.Some nights sucked (糟透了),when nothing was done.But other nights,when we beat the hell out of a main boss,it felt incredible.I was actually progressing and improving in something.It may not have been real life,but i
43、t was there,on my screen,and it was visible for all to see.But now I've actually pursued tangible goals,and realized the sense of accomplishment in WOW is worthless.I don't get excited when the list of epic drops from a boss is sent to me from my friends.I haven't even been interested in
44、 getting a flying mount,or PVP gear.I just don't really care about them.I actually don't care about anything that happens in the game,except for some quests.1 out of every 10 quests you do has an enjoyable story that makes it more interesting.But even so,they are what you can get out of a bo
45、ok,or a good single player game.Even though WOW is enjoyable in some aspects,it's extremely boring in others.Now to me,above all,it's not worth my time to go through it.36.The underlined“it” in Paragraph 2 refers to.A.the game B.the urgeC.the promotion D.the goal解析:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上下文語境可推知it此處代指the

47、According to the passage,we can infer that.A.WOW has changed greatlyB.WOW is attractive to everybodyC.the writer was once addicted to WOWD.WOW helps you improve your life解析:從文中第一段的內(nèi)容可以推知作者曾經(jīng)對WOW游戲上癮。其他選項說法不對。答案:C39.What's the only part of the game the writer is now interested in?A.A flying mount
48、. B.A main boss.C.Some quests. D.Epic drops.解析:從文章第四段中的“I actually don't care about anything that happens in the game,except for some quests.”可知答案。答案:C40.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A.Playing WOW is timeconsuming.B.The writer won't play WOW any more.C.We must play the
49、 game in a proper way.D.Everyone should be responsible for his or her family.解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)該段最后一句可知,作者不想再去玩這個游戲了,故B項符合題意。答案:BDThe early 1900s were very different from today.Toys,though they have evolved in many ways,were still the delight of children everywhere.Theodore Roosevelt's Presidency marks
50、 the beginning of the “Teddy Bear”.In the year 1902,toy bears were named “Teddy”after the president's nickname.The Teddy Bear became known worldwide, and is still known and loved today.It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.In 1913,an item called the Erector Set wa
