12、area is sufficient to provide food for him, his U U 2 /U /Uand their offspring. Migrating birds, for example, U U 3 /U /Uup the best territory in the order of “first come, first U U 4 /U /U.“ The late arrivals may acquire U U 5 /U /Uterritories, but less food is available, or they are too close to t
13、he U U 6 /U /Uof the enemies of the species. U U 7 /U /Uthere is really insufficient food or the danger is very great, the animal will not U U 8 /U /U. In this way, the members of the species which are less fit will not have offspring.When there is conflict U U 9 /U /U. territory, animals will commo
14、nly use force, or a U U 10 /U /Uof force, to decide which will stay and which will go. It is interesting to note, however, that animals seem to use U U 11 /U /Uthe minimum amount of force U U 12 /U /Uto drive away the intruder. There is usually no killing. In the U U 13 /U /Uof those animals which a

However, if two doves are U U 19 /U /Uin a cage, and they start fighting, they will continue to fight until one kills the other. We all think of the dove as a symbol of peace and, in its nat

22、e such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care.
23、 Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.For
24、example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything that comes from of is tested in animals-no meat, no fur, no medicines. Asked if she opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccines com
25、e from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, “Then I would have to say yes.“ Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, “Dont worry, scientists will find some way of using computers.“ Such well-meaning people just dont understand.Scientists must communicate their mess
26、age to the public in a compassionate, understandable way-in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmothers hip replacement, a fathers bypass operation, a babys vaccinations, and even a pets shots. To those who ar
27、e unaware that animal research was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.Much can be done. Scientists could “adopt“ middle school classes and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to
28、 letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health research com
29、munity should actively recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing, there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will
30、 extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.（分数：10.00）(1).The author begins his article with Edmund Burkes words to _. A. call on scientists to take some actions B. criticize the misguided cause of animal rights C. warn of the doom of biomedical research D. show the triumph of the animal rig
31、hts movement（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Misled people tend to think that using an animal in research is _. A. cruel but natural B. inhuman and unacceptable C. inevitable but vicious D. pointless and wasteful（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The example of the grandmotherly woman is used to show the publics _. A. discon
32、tent with animal research B. ignorance about medical science C. indifference to epidemics D. anxiety about animal rights（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The author believes that, in face of the challenge from animal rights advocates, scientists should _. A. communicate more with the public B. employ hi-tech mea
33、ns in research C. feel no shame for their cause D. strive to develop new cures（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).From the passage we learn that Stephen Cooper is _. A. a well-known humanist B. a medical practitioner C. an enthusiast in animal rights D. a supporter of animal research（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、BPassage Two
34、/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Gene therapy and gene-based drugs are two ways we could benefit from our growing mastery of genetic science. But there will be others as well. Here is one of the remarkable therapies on the cutting edge of genetic research that could make their way into mainstream medicine in the c
35、oming years.While its true that just about every cell in the body has the instructions to make a complete human, most of those instructions are inactivated, and with good reason: the last thing you want for your brain cells is to start churning out stomach acid or your nose to turn into a kidney. Th
36、e only time cells truly have the potential to turn into any and all body parts is very early in a pregnancy, when so-called stem cells havent begun to specialize.Yet this untapped potential could be a terrific boon to medicine. Most diseases involve the death of healthy cells-brain cells in Alzheime
37、rs, cardiac cells in heart disease, pancreatic cells in diabetes, to name a few. If doctors could isolate stem cells, then direct their growth, they might be able to furnish patients with healthy replacement tissue.It was incredibly difficult, but last fall scientists at the University of Wisconsin
38、managed to isolate stem cells and get them to grow into neural, gut, muscle and bone cells. The process still cant be controlled, and may have unforeseen limitations. But if efforts to understand and master stem-cell development prove successful, doctors will have a therapeutic tool of incredible po
39、wer.The same applies to cloning, which is really just the other side of the coin; true cloning, as first shown with the sheep Dolly two years ago, involves taking a developed cell and reactivating the genome within, resetting its developmental instructions to a pristine state. Once that happens, the
40、 rejuvenated cell can develop into a full-fledged animal, genetically identical to its parent.For agriculture, in which purely physical characteristics like milk production in a cow or low fat in a hog have real market value, biological carbon copies could become routine within a few years. This pas
41、t year scientists have done for mice and cows what Ian Wilmot did for Dolly, and other creatures are bound to join the cloned menagerie in the coming year.Human cloning, on the other hand, may be technically feasible but legally and emotionally more difficult. Still, one day it will happen. The abil
42、ity to reset body cells to a pristine, undeveloped state could give doctors exactly the same advantages they would get from stem cells: the potential to make healthy body tissues of all sorts, and thus to cure disease. That could prove to be a true “miracle cure.“（分数：10.00）(1).The author believes in
43、 the passage that _. A. there will inevitably be human cloning in the coming year B. the potential to make healthy body tissues is undoubtedly a boon to human beings C. it is illegal to clone any kind of creatures in the world D. it is legal to clone any kind of creatures in the world except human（分

A. rescued B. reactivated C. recalled D. regulated（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The proper title for this passage should be _. A. Tomorrows Tissue Factory B. A Terrific Boon to Medicine C. Human Cloning D.
