11、this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there arefour choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following pas

12、sage.Every pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here. But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals, the responses were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would clone and 111 would not.Clearly, from readers response, this is

13、an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to peoples widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure.Most of the respondents who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the orig

14、inal; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope a clone could ever truly recreate a pet; many simply didnt wish to go against the natural law of life and death.Both sides expressed equal outpouring love for their animals. More than

15、a few respondents owned “the best dog/cat in the world” . They thought of their pets as their “best friend” , “a member of the family,” “the light of my life.” They told moving stories of pets heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.Then the loss is so disturbing and the cloning so attractive. “

16、People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdomfor Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away Its understandable.

17、Death is always painful. Its difficult to deal with. Its hard to accept.”But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this issue.21. As far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, _.A) most of them are for itB) most of them

18、 are against itC) very few of them are willing to tell their opinionsD) about half of them are for it and the other half against it22.

19、g a petC) the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a petD) the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet23.

21、all against the cloning of pets25.

22、act copy of ones pet?Passage TwoQuestions 26 to30 are based on the following passage.Like a needle climbing up a bathroom scale, the number keeps rising. In 2001, 15% of Americans were obese; by 2009, that proportion had grown to 27%. Youngsters, who should have age and activity on their side, are g

23、rowing larger as well: 19% of Americans under 17 are obese. Waistbands have been popping in other western countries too, as physical activity has declined and diets have expanded. By and large, people in the rich world seem to have lost the fight against flab (松弛).Meanwhile, poorer nations have enjo

24、yed some success in their battles against malnutrition and famine. But, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, it is more a case of being out of the frying pan and into the fire. The most striking example in the poor world ac

25、tually comes from the Pacific islands, home of the worlds most obese communities. In 2000, 14% of the men on this island were obese while 26% of men under the age of 30 in 2010 were obese.This increase in weight has been uneven as well as fast. As a result, undernourished and over-nourished people f

26、requently live cheek by jowl (面颊). The mix can even occur within a single household. A study of families in Indonesia found that nearly 10% contained both the hungry and the fat. This is a mysterious phenomenon, but might have something to do with people of different ages being given different amoun

27、ts of food to eat.In many affected countries there are cultural factors to contend with, such as an emphasis on eating large meals together, or on food as a form of hospitality. Moreover, there is a good measure of disbelief on the part of policymakers that such a problem could exist in their countr

28、ies. Unless something is done soon, it might not be possibleto turn the clock back.26. The first sentence of the passage most probably implies that _.A) many Americans are obsessed with the rising temperature in their bathroomB) more and more people are becoming overweight in the United StatesC) peo

29、ple are doing more physical exercises with the help of scalesD) youngsters become taller and healthier thanks to more activities27. As physical exercise declines and diet expands, _.A) other western countries have defeated obesityB) obesity has become an epidemic of the rich worldC) waistbands have

30、become popular in western countriesD) poorer countries can no longer fight against obesity28. Which is NOT the point the author intends to show by mentioning the Pacific islands?A) Some poor communities have shaken off poverty and people are well-fednow.B) Obesity is becoming a problem in the develo

31、ping world too.C) Excessive weight increase causes no less harm than food shortage.D) The problem of overweight emerges very fast.29. About tackling obesity in the poor world, what we can learn from the passage is that .A) the matter is so complex as to go beyond our capacityB) no matter what we do,

32、 the prospect will always be bleakC) it is starvation, the real threat, that needs to be solvedD) we should take immediate actions before it becomes incurable30.

33、he whole world.C) Obesity and starvation are two main problems in the poor world.D) Obesity has shifted from the rich world to the poor world.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The endless debate about “work-life balance” often contains a hopeful footnote about stay-a

34、t-home dads. If American society and business wont make it easier on future female leaders who choose to have children, there is still a ray of hope that increasing numbers of full-time fathers will. But based on todays socioeconomic trends, this hope is, unfortunately, misguided.Its true that the n

35、umber of men who have left work to do their thing as full-time parents has doubled in a decade, but its still very small: only 0.8% of married couples where the stay-at-home father was out of the labor force for a year. Even shorter times away from work for working fathers are already difficult. A s

36、tudy found that 85% of new fathers take some time off after the birth of a child but for the majority, its a week or two at most. Meanwhile, the average for women who take leave is more than 10 weeks.Such choices impact who moves up in the organization. While youre away, someone else is doing your w

37、ork, making your sales, taking care of your customers. That cant help you at work. It can only hurt you. Women, of course, face the same issues of returning after a long absence. But with many more women than men choosing to leave the workforce entirely to raise families, returning from an extended

38、parental leave doesnt raise as many eyebrows as it does for men.Women would make more if they didnt break their earning trajectory (轨迹) by leaving the workforce, or if higher-paying professions were more family-friendly. In the foreseeable future, stay-at-home fathers may make all the difference for

39、 individual families, but their presence wont reduce the numbers of high-potential women who are forced to choose between family and career.31. Why does the author say the hope for more full-time fathers is misguided?A) Women are better at taking care of children.B) Many men value work more than the

40、ir family.C) Their number is too small to make a difference.D) Not many men have the chance to stay at home.32. Why do few men take a long parental leave?A) A long leave will have a negative impact on their career.B) They just have too many responsibilities to fulfill at work.C) The economic loss wi

41、ll be too much for their family to bear.D) They are likely to get fired due to long-term absence from work.33. What is the most likely reaction to men returning from an extended parental leave?A) Jealousy. B) Surprise. C) Admiration. D) Sympathy.34. According to the passage, women might achieve the

42、work-life balance if .A) men take an extended parental leaveB) people change attitudes towards childrenC) more women enter business managementD) mens socioeconomic status is further improved35. What does the author say about high-potential women in the near future?A) They will benefit from the trend

43、 of more fathers staying at home.B) They will find high-paying professions a bit more family-friendly.C) They are unlikely to break their career trajectory to raise a family.D) They will still face the difficult choice between career and children.Section BDirections: Read the following passage.
