The health problems about cloned animals , particularly those who appear healthy but have hidden illnesses or problems that appear unexpectedly later in life, have the potential to cause real risks to the safety of the food products from those animals. Ian Wilmut, a lead scientist involved in the creation of Dolly, the first cloned animal, has warned that even small imbalances in a clone’s hormone, protein, or fat levels could bring its milk or meat into danger.

As part of its risk assessment on animal cloning, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that milk and meat from cloned animals and their offspring (后代)are as safe to eat as products from conventional animals. The FDA further announced that it would not require food products from cloned animals or their offspring to be labeled as such.

Consumer watchdog groups pointed out that the FDA’s analysis was based on limited data supplied mainly from the cloning companies themselves. In addition, while food safety is an obvious concern of consumers, it is not the only issue that makes people uncomfortable with animal cloning. For example, surveys indicate that 63 percent of consumers would not buy food from cloned animals even if it were labeled as “safe”. Concerns about the morality of cloning, as well as concerns for animal welfare, lead a big majority of people to oppose cloning animals for food. However, these issues were not considered by the FDA. Without labels to identify cloned foods, consumers who oppose animal cloning would be forced to make purchases against their principles without knowing. Consumers have a right to know how their food is produced so they can make informed decisions about what they buy and what they feed their families.

1.What is Ian Wilmut’s attitude towards food products from cloned animals?

A. Approving.　　 B. Cautious.

C. Uncertain.　　 D. Indifferent.

2.What does the underlined word “such” in Paragraph 2 refer to ?

A. Safe.　　 B. Expensive

C. Unsafe　　 D. Conventional.

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.

A. consumers didn’t believe what the FDA said

B. the FDA took consumers’ concerns seriously

C. consumers were well-informed about the safety of food

D. the FDA forced consumers to buy things they didn’t want

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Concerns for animal welfare.

B. The problems with animal cloning.

C. Why people are uncomfortable with animal cloning.

D. Concerns about the food products from cloned animals.

A study of older men in The Netherlands, known for its delicious chocolate, showed those who ate the same amount of one-third of a chocolate bar every day had lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of death.

The researchers say, however, it’s too early to conclude that it was the chocolate that led to better health. The men who ate more cocoa products could have eaten other food that made them healthier. Experts also point out that eating too much chocolate can make you fat — a risk for both heart disease and high blood pressure.

“It’s why too early to make recommendations about whether people should eat more cocoa or chocolate,” said Brian Buijsse, an expert for nutrition at Wageningen University in The Netherlands, who co-authored the study.

Still, the Dutch Study, supported by grants (拨款) from the Netherlands Prevention Foundation, appears to be the largest so far to document a health effect for cocoa beans. And it confirms findings of smaller, shorter-term studies that also linked chocolate with lower blood pressure.

Researchers examined the eating habits of 470 healthy men who were not taking blood pressure medicine. The men who ate the most products made from cocoa beans — including cocoa drinks, chocolate bars and chocolate pudding — had lower blood pressure and a 50 percent lower risk of death.

“This is a very important article providing epidemiological support for what many researchers have been observing is experimental models,” said Cesar Fraga of the University of California Davis, who does similar research but was not involved in the new study.

Could the study results apply to women?

“Our study consisted of elderly inch,” Buijsse said. “If you look at the other studies, you will see the same effects in men and women, younger people and older people. The findings may be generalizable to women, but you never know.”

1.We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A. It has been concluded that the findings are generalizable to women.

B. It needs confirming whether women can share the same effects.

C. The study results cannot apply to women.

D. The findings are applicable to both men and women.

2.Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “generalizable?”

A. useful　　 B. popular

C. attractive　　 D. important

3.What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To encourage us to eat as much chocolate as possible.

B. To prove to us that eating chocolate can reduce blood pressure.

C. To inform us of a study about the health benefits of chocolate.

D. To warn us not to eat cocoa products because they can make you fat.

The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally help people protect the environment. It’s a village in Panama that is going to be made of used plastic bottles.

The village will include about 120 homes of different sizes. The design begins with building structures of steel(钢铁)，which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete，and electrical lines are put inside，the plastic walls are covered by concrete(混凝土)—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides，the material will keep the house 17 ℃ cooler than the temperature outside，which is the biggest advantage to people living inside.

The village is the work of Robert Bezeau with the purpose of setting up some environmental projects. Having started a recycling program in 2012，during which a number of plastic bottles were collected，he started to think how they could be put to use. Soon enough，he decided to use them to build houses.

Over 10，000 plastic bottles were used to build the first house，which was completed late last year. The bottles were gained from the same recycling project that Robert had set up. The next home is expected to be bigger，and will need more bottles. The special homes will be sold on request for anywhere between $149，000 and $300，000. The village will also feature its living environment，such as gardens，mini－parks，and more.

22，000 plastic bottles are thrown away around the world per second. While all these bottles clearly cannot be reused into homes，the project hopes to raise the attention of the waste. The village will also create an education center that will teach people from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as building materials.

1.What is so special about the homes in the village?

A.They can stop people from being cold.

B.They are built out of plastic bottles.

C.They are being built by famous artists.

D.They are sold for anyone from anywhere.

2.The biggest advantage for the people living in the special houses lies in ________.

A.the cool temperature

B.environmental protection

C.cutting down the cost

D.different sizes

3.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Robert Bezeau is________.

A.honest B.kind

C.serious D.creative

4.According to the passage，the village________.

A.is made up of 120 homes of the same size

B.will start another recycling program in the future

C.is introducing modern science to the villagers

D.will offer the villagers good living environment

Nations in the UN have agreed that the world needs to completely stop plastic waste from entering the oceans. The UN resolution(决议) has no timetable. But ministers at an environment summit believe it will set the course for much tougher policies and send a clear signal to business.

Under the resolution, governments would establish an international task force(特遣小组) to advise on fighting what the UN's oceans chief has described as a world crisis. One controversial issue is the wish to include businesses on the global task force. Ministers say the problem will not be solved without business, but green groups point out that some firms in the plastics industry have been against restrictions for decades. Vidar Helgesen, a leading voice in the talks, told BBC News, “Business is listening to markets and seeing how marine litter(海洋垃圾) is a growing popular concern. It's possibly the fastest－growing environmental problem and it's therefore a fast－growing problem for business. We need to bring on board those companies that want to change things, and then look at taxes and regulations to make more companies act.”

Certainly, there has been resistance from plastics firms to the bans. One UN delegate, who did not want to be named, stated that journalists in some countries were being paid by the plastics industry to write stories about job losses following the plastic bag ban. But they did not mention the jobs being created in alternatives, such as labour－intensive basketwork, which provides work for the rural poor. But some governments are standing firm, and the meeting has witnessed individual nations declaring tougher action against single－use plastic bags.

The UN's spokesman Sam Barratt told BBC News, “Of course we would have liked to have gone further, but this meeting's made real progress. There's now a sense of urgency and energy behind the issue that we haven't quite seen before. What is obvious, though, is that the UN can't solve this problem on its own. We need to do it in partnership with governments, businesses and even individuals.”

1.What can we know about the UN resolution on plastic waste?

A. Plastic waste should be banned on land too.

B. Plastic waste should be recycled by business.

C. The UN made exact time to stop it entering oceans.

D. The UN may make stricter policies in the future.

2.What can we infer from what Vidar Helgesen said?

A. Business doesn't see the problem of marine litter.

B. Fastest－growing marine litter is a new problem.

C. Governments should force companies to act by policy.

D. Most companies want to stop marine life from disappearing.

3.Why did some companies pay journalists to write articles about job losses?

A. To express their satisfaction with governments.

B. To struggle against the strict plastic bag ban.

C. To show difficulties in labour－intensive basketwork.

D. To make governments stand firm against plastic bags.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. The UN is committed to handling ocean plastic waste

B. The UN tries to protect the marine life

C. We should solve the plastic waste problem

D. We should ban plastic waste completely
