26、   Chinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates(灵长类)to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo(胚胎)splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus(卵原子核)with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic(躯体的) cell nuclear transfer(SCNT), can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.

Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy(显微术) to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming, which hadn’t been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers’ pouring water on the idea that the team’s results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, and it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.

But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough as a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.

【1】What do we know about the technology called SCNT?

A. It created the first primates.

B. It may contribute to editing the DNA.

C. It can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells.

D. It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.

【2】What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2?

A. Keeping a hot topic of it. B. Paying no attention to it.

C. Having a low opinion of it. D. Adding supportive evidence to it.

【3】What is the scientists’ purpose to clone these monkeys?

A. To prepare for their research on human cloning.

B. To serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.

C. To help with the study of human diseases.

D. To clone other animals for scientific use.

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A. Cloning humans is already on its way.

B. New techniques seem to be pointless.

C. Society won’t agree to clone another monkey.

D. The success rate of this cloning of monkey was not high.

28、A saw-whet owl (猫头鹰) is recovering at a wildlife refuge in New York state after it was discovered glued to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. The bird was found by workers helping to transport the tree 170 miles from Oneonta to New York City.

“It’s just a story out of a movie,” said Ravensbeard Wildlife Center director Ellen Kalish, who is caring for the owl.

After the owl-now named Rockefeller-was dropped off with Ms Kalish and taken to the wildlife centre, her team began giving him fluids and “all the mice he will eat”. Rockefeller had not had anything to eat or drink during his three-day road trip. “It’s amazing he didn’t get hurt,” Ms Kalish said.

Rockefeller was taken to the vet on Wednesday night for a check-up and some X-rays, but Ms Kalish said he appears to be in great condition considering his adventurous week.

Diminutive as Rockefeller is, he is a full-grown adult. Saw-whet owls are the smallest owls in the US north-east, Ms Kalish said, typically growing to no more than 8.3 in (17-21cm) tall.

“They’re a very interesting species,” Ms Kalish said.They are “very” nocturnal, meaning they’re typically not seen unless someone is looking for them. Some migrate south for the winter, and some don’t migrate at all.

Once Rockefeller has a clean bill of health, Ms Kalish and the Ravensbeard team will release him back into the wild.” Our goal is to release any bird that can be released,” she said.

There are about two million saw-whet owls across the US, so Rockefeller will be OK if he doesn’t make it all the way back to Oneonta. “They find a new mate each year and go on with their lives,”she said.

With all the bad news of 2020, this little owl’s rescue “was a story that needed to be shared”, Ms Kalish said.

【1】Where was the owl stuck?

A．On a tree.

B．On a truck.

C．In New York City.

D．At the wildlife centre.

【2】What was the owl first offered after arriving at the wildlife centre?

A．A medical examination.

B．Food and drink.

C．Christmas gifts.

D．A three-day road trip.

【3】What does the underlined word “diminutive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Weak.

B．Mature.

C．Interesting.

D．Tiny.

【4】What will be done to the owl if it is confirmed in good condition?

A．Be sent to a zoo.

B．Be kept at the center.

C．Be sent back to nature.

D．Be sent back to Oneonta.

29、It is said that in the United States much has been told about that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.

Yes, when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even though he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That’s what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people did things to keep up with their neighbours: they tried to look as rich and successful as their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a number of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”, because Jones is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read “right” books, go to “right” universities and eat in “right” restaurants.

Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are Joneses in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

【1】Why, according to the passage, do many people try to keep up with the Joneses?

A．Because they feel proud to be taken for the Joneses.

B．Because they want others to know or think they are rich.

C．Because they are afraid that others will know they are rich.

D．Because they want to be as rich as their neighbours.

【2】On the whole, the passage is about ________.

A．Americans’ thought of being well-known for richness

B．the relationship among American people

C．Americans competing with each other

D．more chances of becoming rich in the US

【3】What does the author mean when he says “right” books?

A．Books that teach people how to get rich and successful.

B．Books by famous and successful writers.

C．Very expensive books.

D．Books that other people around are reading.

【4】What does the author mean by “Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead”?

A．It seems that one can never keep up with all people around.

B．It seems that Mr. Jones is a very rich man.

C．It seems that one has to work hard to get rich.

D．It seems that Mr. Jones is always walking ahead of others.

【5】What is the author’s opinion?

A．It is necessary to keep up with the Joneses.

B．It is hard to keep up with the people around you.

C．It is meaningless to try to keep up with the people around you.

D．It is funny to try to keep up with the Joneses.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The elementary means of communicating with other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a(n) 【1】 characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as no two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in accordance with the individual physical【2】 of the throat.

One possible implementation of the 【3】 of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts as a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year, thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or 【4】 utterances are put to the purpose to help identify the probable 【5】. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves away by their 【6】, inflections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually 【7】 into electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recoding which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analyst have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be 【8】 with background noise or other interfering sounds until they attain the 【9】 results.

Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victims by phone or inform about bomb 【10】 or those who make offensive calls disturbing the peach of decent citizens.
