23、，分数：0.00)八、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Cloning shakes us all to our very souls. For humans to consider the cloning of one another forces them all to question the very concepts of right and wrong that make them all human. The cloning of any species, whether they are human or non-human, is wrong. Scientists

24、and ethicists alike have debated the implications of human and non-human cloning extensively since 1997 when scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland produced Dolly. No direct conclusions have been drawn, but compelling arguments state that cloning of both human and non-human species results i

25、n harmful physical and psychological effects on both groups.The possible physical damage that could be done if human cloning became a reality is obvious when one looks at the sheer loss of life that occurred before the birth of Dolly. Less than ten percent of the initial transfers survive to be heal

26、thy creatures. There were 277 trial implants of nuclei. Nineteen of those 277 were deemed healthy while the others were discarded. Five of those nineteen survived, but four of them died within ten days of birth of severe abnormalities. Dolly was the only one to survive. Even Ian Wilmut, one of the s

27、cientists accredited with the cloning phenomenon at the Roslin Institute agrees, “the more you interfere with reproduction, the more danger there is of things going wrong. “ The psychological effects of cloning are less obvious, but nonetheless, very plausible. In addition to physical harms, there a

28、re worries about the psychological harms to cloned human children. One of those harms is that cloning creates serious issues of identity and individuality.Human cloning is obviously damaging to both the family and the cloned child. It is harder to convince that non-human cloning is wrong and unethic

29、al, but it is just the same. Western culture and tradition has long held the belief that the treatment of animals should be guided by different ethical standards than the treatment of humans. Animals have been seen as non-feeling and savage beasts since time began. Humans in general have no problem

30、with seeing animals as objects to be used whenever it becomes necessary. But what would happen if humans started to use animals as body for growing human organs? What if we were to learn how to clone functioning brains and have them grow inside of chimps? Would non-human primates, such as a chimpanz

31、ee, who carried one or more human genes via transgenic technology, be defined as still a chimp, a human, a subhuman, or something else? If defined as human, would we have to give it rights of citizenship? And if humans were to carry non-human transgenic genes, would that alter our definitions and tr

32、eatment of them? Also, if the technology were to be so that scientists could transfer human genes into animals and vice versa, it could create a worldwide catastrophe that no one would be able to stop.（分数：5.00）(1).The arguments that cloning will have harmful effects _.A. are very convincingB. have f

33、orced people to stop cloningC. have forced people to question the concept of cloningD. have compelled people to debate the implications of cloning（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).How many of those trial implants fail to survive?A. 277. B. 276. C. 19. D. 4.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following statements i

34、s NOT true?A. Cloning may lead to the loss of identity.B. The cloned human children may have some psychological problems.C. The psychological effects of cloning may be overlooked.D. Genetic uniqueness is important.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What is the major problem with using animals as body for growing

35、human organs?A. Animals will no longer be savage.B. Humans will be as savage as animals.C. A clear line will be missing between humans and animals.D. Animals will have to be given rights of citizenship.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The writer thinks that cloning is wrong _.A. ethically B. morallyC. psycholog

36、ically D. ethically and morally（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The making of classifications by literary historians can be a somewhat risky enterprise. When Black poets are discussed separately as a group, for instance, the extent to which their work reflects the development of poetry in gen

37、eral should not be forgotten, or a distortion of literary history may result. This caution is particularly relevant in an assessment of the differences between Black poets at the turn of the century (1900 1909) and those of the generation of the 1920s. These differences include the bolder and more f

38、orthright speech of the later generation and its technical inventiveness. It should be remembered, though, that comparable differences also existed for similar generations of White poets.When poets of the 1910s and 1920s are considered together, however, the distinctions that literary historians mig

39、ht make between “conservative“ and “experimental“ would be of little significance in a discussion of Black poets, although these remain helpful classifications for White poets of these decades. Certainly differences can be noted between “conservative“ Black poets such as Countee Cullen and Cluade Mc

40、kay and “experimental“ ones such as Jean Toomer and Langston Hughes. But Black poets were not battling over old or new styles, rather, one accomplished Black poet was ready to welcome another, whatever his or her style, for what mattered was racial pride.However, in the 1920s Black poets did debate

41、whether they should deal with specifically racial subjects. They asked whether they should only write about Black experience for a Black audience or whether such demands were restrictive. It may be said, though, that virtually all these poets wrote their best poems when they spoke out of racial feel

42、ing, race being, as James Weldon Johnson rightly put it, “perform the thing the Negro poet knows best“.At the turn of the century, by contrast, most Black poets generally wrote in the conventional manner of the age and expressed noble, if vague emotions in their poetry. These poets were not unusuall

43、y gifted, though Roscoe Jamison and G. M. McClellen may be mentioned as exceptions. They chose not to write in dialect, which, as Sterling Brown has suggested, “meant a rejection of stereotypes of Negro life“, and they refused to write only about racial subjects. This refusal had both a positive and

44、 a negative consequence. As Brown observes, “Valuably insisting that Negro poets should not be confined to issues of race, these poets committed an error, they refused to look into their hearts and write.“ These are important insights, but one must stress that this refusal to look within was also ty

45、pical of most White poets of the United States at the time. They, too, often turned from their own experience and consequently produced not very memorable poems about vague topics, such as the peace of nature.（分数：5.00）(1).It can be inferred from the passage that classifying a poet as either conserva

46、tive or experimental would be of “little significance“ when discussing Black poets of the 1910s and the 1920s because _.A. these poets wrote in very similar stylesB. these poets all wrote about nature in the same wayC. these poets were fundamentally united by a sense of racial achievement despite di

47、fferences in poetic styleD. such a method of classification would fail to take account of the influence of general poetic practice（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, an issue facing Black poets in the 1920s was whether they should _.A. seek a consensus on new techniques of poetryB. write

48、exclusively about and for BlacksC. withdraw their support from a repressive societyD. turn away from social questions to recollect the tranquility of nature（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The author quotes Sterling Brown in the fourth paragraph in order to _.A. present an interpretation of some Black poets that contradicts th
