Since the great success of cloning the sheep Dolly, the cloning of human beings is no longer a fictional（虛構(gòu)的） story but can be proved to be medically possible.【1】 I just want to say: NO! NEVER!

【2】 For example, they insist that if we could clone a new Einstein, we would make more progress on physics; and if we could get a new Shakespeare, we would enjoy more profound classic literary works and ... But how can we guarantee that another Hitler could not be brought back to life “thanks to” cloning? Moreover, can we give birth to a baby who exactly shares your grand grandpa’s genes? We would be confused by that relationship or kinship.【3】

Some scientists believe that we can get the organs we need to save people’s life from the cloned counterpart. But is it unfair to them? Even if they are not the creatures of nature but of technology, they are a kind of life.【4】 I do not suppose this action is humane.

【5】 It is another violation of the natural law. Life should be a cycle from birth to death and then rebirth and re-death. Every round of change can breed more varieties of genes. Thereby our human species can live rather than copying ourselves repeatedly, which I believe would lead to the final retrogression(退化) of human species.

A. I do not think we can be granted the right to kill them and take out the organs for our use.

B. If we can always replace our old organs with new ones, we will predictably never die.

C. Thus, the problem unavoidable arises: should we permit human cloning?

D. And in that case, we would find ourselves lost in an embarrassing and disorderly situation.

E. Some people maintain that it can save talents.

這篇短文主要講述了克隆技術(shù)的弊端。生命應(yīng)該是一個(gè)從出生到死亡，再到重生再到死亡的循環(huán)。

【1】根據(jù)下文just want to say: NO! NEVER!可知上文是Thus, the problem unavoidable arises: should we permit human cloning?是因此，不可避免的問(wèn)題出現(xiàn)了：我們是否應(yīng)該允許克隆人？故選C。

【2】根據(jù)下文For example, they insist that if we could clone a new Einstein, we would make more progress on physics; and if we could get a new Shakespeare, we would enjoy more profound classic literary works and ...可知上文是Some people maintain that it can save talents.有些人堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為它可以節(jié)省人才。故選E。

【3】根據(jù)上文We would be confused by that relationship or kinship.可知下文是And in that case, we would find ourselves lost in an embarrassing and disorderly situation. 在這種情況下，我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己迷失在一個(gè)尷尬和混亂的局面。故選D。

【4】根據(jù)上文Even if they are not the creatures of nature but of technology, they are a kind of life.可知下文是I do not think we can be granted the right to kill them and take out the organs for our use. 我不認(rèn)為我們有權(quán)殺死他們并取出器官供我們使用。故選A。

【5】根據(jù)下文It is another violation of the natural law. Life should be a cycle from birth to death and then rebirth and re-death.可知上文是If we can always replace our old organs with new ones, we will predictably never die.如果我們總是能用新的器官代替舊的器官，我們就不會(huì)死。故選B。
