Question

Tony: These days, the word “clone” has appeared very often in the newspapers. Do you know its meaning?
Lana: I read a report. It said that Dr. Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb* named Dolly from a grown-up sheep. So people call him the “father” of Dolly.
Tony: In fact, the word “clone” means to produce the “same” animal by taking cells* from a
grown-up one. I think, if we know how to do cloning, we need only to keep a small number
of sheep, cows or horses.
Lana: What’s more, these days some people even want to clone humans. They have asked: Can we
clone ourselves?                                                       
Tony: It seems interesting. But do you think it possible to do that?
Lana: No, impossible! First, I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body are dead already.
Tony: Then can we clone a living person?
Lana: Again no! You might clone yourself one after another, but it is only a copy, not a real you. It is only something, not a “human”.
Tony: Well, you mean that it is not a real human.
Lana: True enough! I think Dr. Wilmut would most like to make better animals, and it has nothing to do with human cloning.

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題1】D
【小題1】A
【小題1】C
【小題1】D

解析【小題1】詞義推測。根據(jù)文章中the word “clone” means to produce the “same” animal by taking cells  from a grown-up one.推測到為“克隆”之意。
【小題1】細節(jié)考查。根據(jù)文章中It said that Dr. Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb named Dolly from a grown-up sheep.可知多利為一只被克隆的羊。
【小題1】細節(jié)推測。根據(jù)文章中It said that Dr. Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb named Dolly from a grown-up sheep. So people call him the “father” of Dolly.可知Dr. Ian Wilmut是第一個在實驗室克隆出羊的第一人。
【小題1】細節(jié)推測。從整個對話我們可知克隆是對動物進行的，不可對人類克隆，故選C。
【小題1】大意推測。根據(jù)文章最后I think Dr. Wilmut would most like to make better animals, and it has nothing to do with human cloning.可知Lana認為人可以被克隆。
