A clone is an exact copy of another animal or plant. Scientists have cloned a sheep which they have named Dolly. Researchers took genes from a ewe (母羊) and used them to create a copy (Dolly) of the ewe.Why are scientists doing this research? One reason is to get information about genes so they can improve our health. They also want to learn how better farm animals can be produced. Cloning is a controversial issue for people. Some people think it is good because this research can help us, but other people think cloning is unacceptable. Some people think it might be possible to save endangered animals by cloning them. Tigers, elephants, and other endangered animals might be saved in this way.In China, pandas are endangered because they are hunted and they are losing their habitat, so some Chinese scientists want to try to clone pandas to save them from extinction.I don’t really like the idea of cloning animals, but I don’t think I wantpanda to become extinct. If the best way to save them is to make cloned pandas, they must be cloned.I want to live with a lot of animals and nature. I don’t want animals todie out, especially pandas. I think humans must think more about protecting animals and nature. Maybe cloning is the way to save all endangered animals.24. What is Dolly like?A. It is exactly like the ewe researchers took genes from.B. It is a bit like the ewe.C.It is like other ordinary sheep we often see.D It is like a perfect sheep that researchers want to make.25. What is the technology scientists use to clone animals?A. They use the technology of animal improvement.B. They change the genes of a ewe and then get them improved.C.

By studying cloning, scientists can____.A. improve our health and produce fine animals.B. start a new industry where many more people may find jobs.C. find ways to feed the whole world.D. make copies of many famous people in the world.27. From the passage we can learn that____.A. people are all for the technology of cloning.B. only scientists are interested in cloning.C. people don’t hold the same opinion about cloning.D. all the people think cloning unacceptable.CDo you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day? If so, you would be considered an “early bird”. Perhaps, though, you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until the afternoon. If that's the case, you're probably a “night owl”.Most of us fall into one of these two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different opinions.Traditionally, early risers have been praised as hard-working. On the other hand, those who prefer to sleep in and get up late are considered lazy. But even in the 21st century, most people still believe the early bird catches the worm.Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus longer and produce more than early risers.Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines (常规). After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert. However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase of energy from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics (遗传学) may play the biggest role.It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you're happy rising early or staying up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.28.How does the author introduce the subject?A.By asking questions.B.By showing research results.C.By describing two different lifestyles.D.By telling a story.29.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean?A.“Night owls” can focus longer than “early birds”.B.Early risers have an advantage over late risers.C.“Night owls” are as hard-working as “early birds”.D.Early to bed, early to rise is good for health.30.What did the researchers find in a Belgian study?A.Early risers can think clearly after being awake for 10 hours.te risers become sleepier than early risers.C.Early risers become as focused as late risers.te risers can think quickly after being awake for 10 hours.31.According to the passage, which of the following has (have) the most influenceon one's sleep habits?A.Genetic elements.B.Lifestyle and activities.C.Living environment.D.Childhood routines.DWalking is so simple and convenient that it couldn’t possibly count as exercise, right? Wrong．Study after study shows that regular walking can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease．The study published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice shows that the blood pressure of the overweight men being tested improved and the amount of body fat greatly decreased．That’s good news, beca use walking has now become the most popular fitness activity in the United States．Convenient, simple, and gentle on the joints, walking is perhaps the easiest form of exercise to maintain．According to a survey, four out of five women who start a walking program continue to walk, while half of women who attempt other types of aerobic exercise(有氧运动), such as swimming, drop out during the first few months．Here are some basics for walking exercise．Walk at a pace that makes you breathe heavily, but still able to talk．Your goal, first and foremost, is to walk five days a week, 30 minutes a walk．Do that, and you are getting the base-level amount of exercise that research says should maintain your health and vigor(精力)．Walk for as long as you are comfortable the first week, even if it is just to your mailbox and back．Each following week, increase that amount by no more than 10 percent．Start every walk with five minutes of easy-paced walking, about the same pace at which you do shopping, to get your body warmed up．Then, cool down at the end of each walk with another five minutes of easy-paced walking．This allows your heart rate to gradually speed up and slow down．32.The survey mentioned in Paragraph 3 shows that ________．A.80％ of the women surveyed are walking as a means of exerciseB.50％ of the women surveyed want to swim as a means of exerciseC.walking is more easily maintained than other types of aerobic exerciseD.the effect of walking is as good as that of other types of aerobic exercise33.
