25、proaches to baby making seem to be coming at us so fast that we hardly have time to digest one before the next one hits test-tube babies, egg donation, surrogacy, cloning and now sex selection. And just as with earlier methods, the new sperm-separation technique announced last week has triggered ple

26、nty of ethical concern. Only a few critics have argued that tampering with nature to avoid a sex-linked genetic disease should be taboo. But plenty have expressed misgivings about using the new technology more casually, to balance families, or simply because parents prefer boys or girls. Such choice

27、s, critics say, could lead to an imbalance in the sex ratio, with drastic consequences for society.These arguments are not very persuasive. In some developing countries where boys are more highly valued than girls, sex selection is already standard practice, accomplished by means of infanticide of a

28、mniocentesis and abortion. The new sperm-separation technique makes it easier for more people to practice sex selection in these countries.This could skew the already tilting sex ratio even further in favor of boys. In the short term, such demographic shifts could cause enormous societal problems as

29、 men, for example, find it increasingly difficult to find women to marry. In the long term, however, both evolutionary and economic theories tell us that as girls become scarcer, they will become more highly valued, perhaps to the point at which more people will select for girls than against them.In

30、 America and other Western countries there seems to be little chance of the sexes going far out of balance at all. Polls show that a majority of Americans view a perfect family as having one boy and one girl. If everyone used sex selection to achieve perfection, the result would be perfect balance.

31、Of course, some prospective parents do prefer children of one sex or the other. But such preferences would presumably balance out as well.Regarding the argument that choosing gender goes against nature: the same objection was used in earlier times by people horrified by vaccines or heart transplants

32、, which are now completely acceptable. Every time we use medicine to cure a disease or prevent a death, we go against nature willingly. Admittedly, sex selection for family balancing cures no disease. In fact, though, no form of baby making solves a medical problem. Sex selection, moreover, is medic

33、ally benign in comparison with most reproductive technologies. No surgery is involved, and the entire process can theoretically be performed without a physician. Children born through this process cant distinguish from other children.For these reasons, I suspect that as sex selection and other repro

34、ductive technologies become more efficient and less costly, they may be embraced by American families of even modest means who ask themselves, why not? What was once unimaginable could become routine and the link between the sex act and reproduction will no longer be seen as sacred. Ultimately, this

35、 may prove to be the real significance of sex selection: by breaching a powerful psychological barrier, it will pave the way for true designer babies, who could really turn society upside down.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following is not a worry to many people about new ways of baby making?A. Sex sele

36、ction goes against nature.B. Choosing gender leads to an imbalance in the sex ratio.C. Preference of a boy over a girl will be terrible for society.D. It is impossible to avoid a sex-linked genetic disease.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the writer, in some developing countries sex selection _.A.

37、is illegal by means of infanticide of amniocentesis and abortionB. would result in more difficult statistical survey of populationC. would be likely to keep balance of the sexes in the endD. would meet peoples need for sex discrimination（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following statements is true?

38、A. The sexes go far out of balance in Western countries.B. Perfect balance would not be achieved in view of an American perfect family.C. Evolutionary and economic theories both predict balance of sex ratio in the long run.D. It is high time for us to prevent sex selection from becoming routine.（分数：

39、1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The writers reasons for choosing gender show that _.A. it is natural for people to object even if it is better than other reproductive technologiesB. it is easy for people to practice sex selection with no surgery and a physician involvedC. vaccines or heart transplants which once h

40、orrified people are now completely acceptableD. even poor people may accept it because they will have cleverer children through the process of sex selection（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The writers main point in writing this article is _.A. we should pave the way for the designer babyB. picking a babys sex m

41、ay lead to disasterC. theres much objection to new approaches to baby makingD. people often like to have children of one sex or the other（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Have you heard about the book which pushes blood types as determining whether somebody should be vegetarian or not?The idea

42、 of choosing foods based on your blood type was popularized by Peter J. DAdamo, ND, in his book, Eat Right For Your Type (G. P. Putnams Sons, 1996). DAdamo, a naturopath, proposes that those who have blood type A should be vegetarian, while those with blood type O must eat meat and eliminate wheat a

43、nd some other grains. He says that following the correct diet for your blood type will help you maintain optimal health and weight, avoid many infections, and fight back against life-threatening illnesses. Is there any truth to his claims?While DAdamo spends more than 350 pages explaining the minute

44、 details of the foods, supplements, medications, and exercise regimens which should be followed by people with each blood type, he fails to scientifically document the effectiveness of his recommendations. Many of the claims which he makes are not backed up by published research. For example, depend

45、ing on your blood type, you are presented with detailed lists of foods which are highly beneficial, neutral, or to be avoided. How were these lists generated? Has any research been published showing adverse health effects from use of foods which should be avoided? No studies are presented which supp

46、ort what appear to be the authors speculations.Numerous studies have shown that vegetarians live longer than non-vegetarians and have a lower risk of a number of chronic diseases. These studies are likely to be based on people from all blood type groups. It certainly seems that a vegetarian diet has

47、 benefits for those studied, regardless of their blood type. Similarly, studies like those of Dean Ornish appear to demonstrate the beneficial effect of a vegetarian diet and other lifestyle changes on a number of individuals, and not just those of certain blood type.Eat Right For Your Type should n

48、ot be used as the basis for dietary change. Statements like “I could never be a vegetarian, Im type O“ are not based on scientific evidence and may even lead people to avoid making dietary changes which could benefit both their health and the health of our planet. Our advice? Stick with a varied, whole foods-based ve
