Our topic tonight is experim
30、ent on animals and to start the discussion we have a strongly argued appeal from Jeff Sachs of the animals rights organization Animal Aid. Now Jeff, whats all the fuss about? After all, 85 percent of doctors support experiments on animals.Jeff: This is first and foremost a moral question. What kind
31、of people are we? As humans, we live in a society which protects the rights of the weak. We take care of the sick, the old and the disabled and punish those who are violent to others. But we also have a darker, cruel side. I believe that we experiment on animals because they are powerless to stop us
32、, and we count their pain as unimportant when measured against our own interests. We live unhealthy lives and make animals suffer in the search for cures for our illnesses. We even see the production of a new lipstick as a good enough reason to inflict pain on animals. Its not that we think animals
33、cant feel pain-we know very well that they do. And its dangerous to say that we use animals in experiments because they lack our intelligence. After all, this argument would allow us to experiment on mentally handicapped humans. Animals have feelings. Like us, they can suffer pain, fear and mental a
34、gony. Like us, each has a life to live. A rats life is important to a rat, whatever value a human may place on it. Why should one individual animal be made to suffer for the supposed benefits of people? Is it right to kill one human being in an experiment to save thousands of others? What if that hu
35、man being were you?Presenter: Yeah, well, thank you. Now, lets hear what you, the audience, and you at home think.节目主持人在第一句就说“Good evening and welcome to Issue for Today”，说明 Issue for Today 是节目名称。注意 Issue 的拼写以及第一个字母大写。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：85%）解析：根据“After all，85 percent of doctors support experiments on ani
36、mals”得出答案。句子中出现各类承接词时要特别注意，上下文往往是考点所在。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：moral）解析：嘉宾是动物救助组织的人物，讨论的话题是用动物做实验，所以内容有一定的特殊性。他第一句话就点出“这实际上是个道德问题。”所以答案是 moral。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：powerless）解析：根据嘉宾观点“We experiment on animals because they are powerless to stop us，”可知答案是 powerless。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：feelings）解析：嘉宾的观点是：动物和人一样，是有感觉的，后面又用事实“l

38、ording to Ruth Macklin, cloning should not be banned because “while human cloning might not offer great benefits to human beings, no one has yet made a persuasive case that it would do any real harm either.“ But, in my opinion there would be harm. I think Ms. Macklin is too optimistic. Although I am
39、 not a pessimist, I am convinced that human cloning should be banned.The earth is burdened with a large population thirsty for water, hungry for food, desperate for fresh air and a clean environment. Common sense tells us that we should not increase the worlds population, let alone clone more people
40、. I cant imagine what the world would be like if scientists are permitted to double or triple todays population by cloning human beings. In some cases, people support human cloning because they are unwilling to accept death. They want eternal life. we cherish life because it lasts for a short period
41、 of time. But we are meant to die. As one famous philosopher said, “we are born to die. “ Without death, life is meaningless. If people knew life was endless, perhaps they would have no passion to fulfill their dreams or inspiration to create new things. The world would be full of the same faces. Th
42、e word “generation“ might disappear, as well as “father“ and “mother“. How boring! The quality of human beings would deteriorate. Brothers, sisters, and cousins would intermarry. Cloned people would have the same father and mother and they would be more likely to have genetic diseases. Cloning, in t
43、he long term, might lead to the extinction of the human race. My opposition to cloning doesnt grow out of an “unthinking disgust“. On the contrary, I oppose cloning for practical reasons.短文开门见山对 MsMacklin 的论调进行反驳，强调克隆对于人类是有害的，因此说 MsMacklin 太乐观了。如果没有直接听到 optimistic 这个词，可根据第一、二句的意思来推测。(2).In some case
44、s, people support human cloning because they are unwilling to（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：accept death）解析：在某些情况下，人们支持克隆人是因为他们害怕死亡，所以答案应该是 unwilling to accept death。(3).If life were endless, the world would be full of（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：the same faces）解析：作者提到，如果人们知道不会死，就没有劲头去创造新的东西，那样世界就充满了同样的面孔。(4).Clo
45、ned people would be more likely to have（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：genetic diseases）解析：克隆人的后果是近亲结婚的可能性大，由此克隆人更有可能得遗传性疾病。(5).Cloning would lead to the human beings（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：extinction）解析：作者提到了克隆人的诸多害处，最后总结，克隆人的后果是人类走向灭亡。五、Part C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Questions 1113 are (总题数：1，分数：3.00)A.One spends s

Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called “mall rats“. Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores under one rood.People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations of private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfal
