With rapid advances in medical science, cloning is slowly but surely looking like it could be in our near future. 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 there's 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. There's 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 (玩忽职守). 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 race's 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 (传送) to the clone, your clone would still be a different person.

1.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.

2.According to the text, cloning can also be used for ________________________________________________.

A. organ transplant

B. solving the aging problem

C. infectious disease treatment

D. constructing a gene database

3.What's one problem cloning may cause?

A. Great diversity.

B. Individual security risk.

C. Increased improper conduct.

D. Serious personality disorder.

4.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.

Music for Humans and Humpback Whales

As researchers conclude in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species, but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain, and is far more ancient than previously suspected.

In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology, the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music, researchers present various evidence to, show that music-making is at once an original human "business", and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom.

The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere.

For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms (节奏) similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length—a few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves (八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio (比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so-called A-B-A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form.

Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. "This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material," the researchers write.

1.The underlined words "converge on" in Paragraph 3 probably　 means__________.

A. tend towards　 B. refer to

C. turn into 　　 D. put forward

2.Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales?

A. They can remember complex material.

B. They can create pleasing patterns of music.

C. They can make sounds like drums continuously.

D. They can sing along with rhythms of western music.

3.What is the main idea of the article?

A. Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans.

B. Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales.

C. Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom.

D. Music-making it an ancient activity of both humans and animals.

4.The main purpose of the passage is to __________.

Two skulls（头颅骨）found in Africa have been identified as the oldest human remains known to science. The fossilized（化石）bones found in 1967 were originally thought to be 130,000 years old. But a re-dating of rock layers near those which yielded the fossils showed they are actually about 195,000 years old---from the time modern humans appeared. The skulls, known as Omo I and II, push back the known presence of Homo sapiens（现代人）in Africa by 40,000 years. The previous oldest Homo sapiens skulls, dated to between 154,000 and 160,000 years old, were found near a village called Herto in the afar region of eastern Ethiopia. Omo I and II were unearthed by famous paleontologist（古生物学家）Richard Leakey along the Omo River in southern Ethiopia, near the town of Kibish. Omo I’s more modern features led to disagreement among experts over whether they were the same age. The rocks in which they were found show they are, said an Australian archaeologist Prof. Ian McDougall, who made the discovery. He told scientific journal “Nature”: “Omo I and Omo II are relatively securely dated to 195,000 years old, making them the oldest anatomically（解剖学的）modern human fossils yet recovered”

1.By which means could scientists tell the age of fossils they have found?

A. The bones of the fossils.             B. The place where they were found.

C. The history of humans.              D. Identifying the rock layers of the fossils.

2.How many years older have modern humans become by the new discovery?

A. 130,000.    B. 40,000.    C. 195,000.     D. Between 154,000 and 160,000.

3.Which of the following statements are NOT true according to the passage?

A. The new discovery of the skulls and the research proved the modern humans might have started in Africa.

B. Prof. Ian McDougall thought Omo I and II were the oldest human fossils discovered.

C. Prof. Ian McDougall discovered that Omo I and II were not the same age.

D. Omo I and II were discovered in southern Ethiopia.
