However, is it really an option that should be considered as a way to extend human life?Reproductive cloning may help human families gain children, but theres also a benefit for the animal world.It brings hope to people eager for children but unable to have their own or adopt. It can also bring about the recreation of species that have long since died, allowing scientists to fully study the species as a living creature instead of simply looking at images or bones.Many believe that cloning can be used to replace failing organs. This will reduce the waiting list for organ donations and allow more people to be saved. Not only that, but because the organ is, in fact, your own organ, there would be less chance of rejection.Cloning could prove helpful in genetic research. Using cloning technologies, genetic researchers would have a better understanding of the composition of genes and the effects of genetic constituents (成分) on human characters. Theres also the possibility of changing genetic constituents in cloned humans, and cloning could help fight genetic diseases.While the cloning of body organs can help extend human life, it could also cause a lot of malpractice (玩忽職守). Along with the ability to clone desired characters, there could be the possibility of people deliberately reproducing undesired characters. This could lead to a rise in malpractices within society.Cloning involves a process of creating identical genes. As such, there would be a lack of diversity in humankind. Scientists believe this lack of diversity will lower the human races ability to adapt.Whatever your view on cloning may be, studies show that the clone would in fact not be completely identical to the original just as twins are not completely identical. Though they might look alike, twins have different personalities and enjoy different things. The same could be said of clones. Even if technology were created in which your memories and thoughts could be transmitted (傳送) to the clone, your clone would still be a different person.4. What good might reproductive cloning bring?A. It may help improve human well-being.B. It could contribute to the rising birthrate.C. It could help animals survive deadly diseases.D. It may enable scientists to better study extinct species.5. According to the text, cloning can also be used for .A. organ transplantB. solving the aging problemC. infectious disease treatmentD. constructing a gene database6. Whats one problem cloning may cause?A. Great diversity.B. Individual security risk.C. Increased improper conduct.D. Serious personality disorder.7. Why are twins mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To stress twins similarities.B. To show twins are quite common.C. To carry out deeper research on twins.D. To better illustrate what a clone will be like.【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7.

They could read and write, but except for a quick look at the daily newspaper, reading and writing didnt play a big part in their lives. There were very few books in the house. When I was only 14 years old my father gave me an important letter that hed written to the bank and asked me to check it for grammar and spelling mistakes. And there were quite a lot. He never wrote letters or postcards or even Christmas cards. So when he had to write he wasnt comfortable or confident. Does that mean that my father had a low level of literacy (讀寫能力)? I dont think so.There are lots of different definitions (定義) of literacy. Some experts define it as having the reading and writing skills that you need to be independent in your everyday life. So, for example, if you can read instructions, write a cheque, fill in a form anything that you need to do in everyday life then you are functionally literate.If you live in a society where most people are literate then you will feel ashamed and avoid situations in which you have to read or write. A friends father finally admitted to his family that he couldnt read when he was 45 years old. He had bought the newspaper every day and pretended to read it.Being illiterate can have a big effect on peoples lives. Worldwide statistics show that literacy problems are associated with poverty and a lack of political power. More women than men are illiterate. Illiterate people have worse health, bigger families and are more likely to go to prison. So literacy campaigns must be a good thing. But dont forget that an illiterate person, or someone with a low level of literacy, isnt necessarily stupid or ignorant (無知的) and may not be unhappy at all. Knowledge and wisdom isnt only found in writing.8. What do we know about the authors father?A. He read a lot. B. He rarely wrote.C. He couldnt write. D. He bought many books.9. What does the author say about “functionally literate” people?A. They are usually mind readers.B. They can read between the lines.C. They are mainly dependent on others.D. They are able to read and write to survive.10. Why did the friends father buy the newspaper regularly?A. To keep his secret.B. To be fashionable.C. To enjoy the daily news.D. To further his study11. What is literacy irrelevant to according to the author?A. Health. B. Poorness.C. Influence. D. Happiness.【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D【解析】本文是一篇說明文。文章講述的是與讀寫能力有關(guān)的事情。讀寫能力有很多不同的定義。一些專家將其定義為擁有日常生活中獨立所需的閱讀和寫作技能。作者認(rèn)為讀寫能力與幸福無關(guān)?！?題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中He never wrote letters or postcards or even Christmas cards.可知，作者的父親很少寫東西。故選B。【9題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中if you can read instructions, write a cheque, fill in a form anything that you need to do in everyday life then you are functionally literate.可知，關(guān)于“functionally literate”的人，作者說他們能夠讀寫來生存。故選D?！?0題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句A friends father finally admitted to his family that he couldnt read when he was 45 years old.
