There are many ways in which human cloning is expected to benefit humans. Dr Richard Seed, one of the leading supporters of human cloning technology, suggests that it may someday be possible to completely change the aging process because of what we learn from cloning.

Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged. Heart disease is the number one killer in the US and several other industrialised countries.

There has been a breakthrough with human stem cells. Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs to repair or replace damaged ones. Skin for burn victims, brain cells for the brain damaged, hearts, lungs, and kidneys could be produced. By combining this technology with human cloning technology, it may be possible to produce needed organs for suffering people that will be free of rejection by their immune systems. Conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, heart failure, and other problems can be cured if human cloning and its technology are not banned.

Though current treatments for infertility (不生育) are getting a fair amount of publicity in the news, they, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. Some data shows that current infertility treatments are less than 10 percent successful. Couples

go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before possible.

1．According to Dr Richard Seed, we can use cloning technology to ________． A．produce more animals B．make people live happily C．make people look younger D．cure people of many diseases

2．We can learn from the passage that ________． A．cloning has already been used to treat heart disease B．we can treat a man's heart disease by cloning hearts C．most people in industrial countries suffer from heart disease

D．more people die of heart disease than of other diseases in the US 3．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．With cloning infertile couples could have children. B．Treatment of infertility is not successful.

C．Infertile couples suffer a lot physically and mentally. D．It is difficult for couples to have more children now. 4．What is the author's attitude towards human cloning? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Cautious. D．Curious.

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper —

a little bird called a honey guide.

The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.

Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

5．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest? A．It's small in size. B．It's hidden in trees. C．It's covered with wax. D．It's hard to recognize.

6．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．A bee. B．A bird.

C．A honey seeker. D．A beekeeper.

7．The honey guide is special in the way ________． A．it gets its food B．it goes to church C．it sings in the forest D．it reaches into bees' nests

8．What can be the best title for the text? A．Wild Bees B．Wax and Honey

C．Beekeeping in Africa D．Honey­Lover's Helper Ⅴ.任务型阅读

2．解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，心脏病是美国和其他工业化国家的头号杀手，因此在美国死于心脏病的人要比死于其他疾病的人多。

3．解析：选A 段落大意题。联系全文可知，本文的主题是人类克隆技术。最后一段点明了现在治疗不孕的成功率很低，许多夫妇饱受煎熬，最后说明了利用人类克隆技术可以使不孕的夫妇有自己的孩子，因此A项正确。
