Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of
26、the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden. With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages (百分化), are not very successful. Couples go through physically and
27、 emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before. We should be able to clone the bone marrow (骨髓)
28、for children and adults suffering from leukemia (白血病). This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology. We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer. Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-relat
29、ed diseases. The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.（分数：10.00）(1).Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology

34、ch technology五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)A lot of people are their own enemies. They regard themselves as unlikely to succeed in college and often feel that there have been no accomplishments in their lives. In my first year of college especially, I saw people get themselves down all too quickly. T
35、here were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that day on, they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks under their arms. Both students hang on until about mid-term. When they disappe
36、ared for good, no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after that first test. They are not the only people in whom I have seen the self-d0ubt do its work. I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say, “You are not dead. Be proud and pleased that you have br
37、ought yourself here to college. Be someone. Breathe. Hope. Act.“ Such people should not use self-doubts as an excuse for not trying. They should pull themselves together and get to work. They should start taking notes in class and trying to learn. Above all, they should not give up without even tryi
38、ng.（分数：10.00）(1).The underlined phrase “get themselves down“ (Para. 1) probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.tell liesB.lose confidenceC.avoid dangersD.waste time(2).When the two students dropped out, no one took much notice because _.（分数：2.00）A.they had long lost heart in class performanceB.they were absent
39、from class too oftenC.they didn“t get on well with other studentsD.they were so much cut off“ from the rest of the class(3).According to the passage, the two students failed in their study because of their _.（分数：2.00）A.shynessB.prideC.self-doubtD.laziness(4).The author thinks that the two students s
40、hould _.（分数：2.00）A.give up their college educationB.learn from other studentsC.feel happy because they are in collegeD.try hard before giving up(5).The underlined sentence “Both students hang on until about mid-term“ (Para. 1) tells us that _.（分数：2.00）A.they didn“t study wellB.they didn“t take part
41、in class activitiesC.they didn“t take notes in classD.they didn“t finish their study that term六、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes.
42、 To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings
43、. Thus the limits of a person“s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The cl
44、oser the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, th
45、ey will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We mig
46、ht send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in their intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who
47、live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.（分数：10.00）(1).If a child is born with low intelligence, he can _.（分数：2.00）A.not reach his intelligence in his lifeB.go beyond his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsC.still be
48、come a genius if he should be given special educationD.become a genius(2).“If we take two unrelated people at random from the population“ (Para. 2) means if we _.（分数：2.00）A.choose two persons with different intelligenceB.choose two persons who are relativeC.take out two persons of close relationship
49、D.pick any two persons(3).The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _.（分数：2.00）A.the part that birth playsB.the importance of their positionsC.the role of environment on intelligenceD.the importance of their intelligence(4).The writer is in favor of the view that man“s intellige
