A
(2018·安徽江淮十校三次联考)“China
became
the
first
country
to
clone
a
monkey
using
non-reproductive
cells,”
scientists
said
on
Thursday.
By
December
2017,the
Chinese
Academy
of
Sciences
had
created
two
cloned
macaques(猕猴)
by
nuclear
transferring
of
body
cells—any
cell
in
the
organism
other
than
reproductive
cells.
This
was
the
similar
technology
used
to
create
the
famous
cloned
sheep
Dolly
in
1996.
“Tetra,a
monkey
born
in
1999,is
the
world
s
first-ever
cloned
monkey,but
it
was
done
using
a
simpler
called
embryo
splitting(胚胎分裂),and
could
not
be
genetically
modified
to
suit
experimental
needs,”said
Pu
Muming,a
leading
researcher
at
the
Chinese
Academy
of
Sciences.“Cloning
a
monkey
using
body
cells
has
been
a
world-class
challenge
because
it
is
a
primate(灵长类)
that
shares
its
genetic
make-up,therefore
all
of
its
complexity,with
humans,”he
said.
“For
drug
and
other
lab
tests,scientists
have
to
purchase
monkeys
from
all
over
the
world,which
is
costly
bad
for
the
environment
and
produces
inaccurate
results
because
each
monkey
might
have
different
genes,”
Pu
said.
“By
cloning
monkey
using
body
cells,we
can
reproduce
a
large
number
of
genetically
identical
monkeys
in
a
short
amount
of
time,and
we
can
even
change
their
genes
to
suit
our
needs,”
he
added,“This
can
save
time,cut
down
experiment
costs,and
produce
more
accurate
results,leading
to
more
effective
medicine.”
Sun
Qiang,director
of
the
non-human
primate
research
facility
at
the
institute,said
most
of
the
drug
trials
are
currently
done
on
lab
mice.
However,drugs
that
work
on
mice
might
not
work
or
even
have
severe
side
effects
on
humans
because
the
two
species
are
so
different.
Monkeys
and
humans
are
both
primates,so
they
are
much
closely
related
and
testing
on
monkeys
is
supposed
to
be
as
effective
as
testing
on
humans.
This
achievement
will
help
China
lead
the
world
research
in
an
international
science
project
related
to
the
study
of
primate
brains.
1.Which
description
of
the
two
cloned
macaques
is
true?
A.They
were
the
first
monkeys
ever-cloned
in
the
world.
B.They
were
created
using
reproductive
cells.
C.They
would
be
fed
to
suit
experimental
needs.
D.The
technology
used
to
create
them
was
similar
to
that
of
creating
Dolly.
2.The
underlined
word
in
the
fourth
paragraph
is
closest
to
“________”
in
meaning.
A.same
B.similar
C.relevant
D.close
3.What
can
be
learned
from
the
passage?
A.Pu
Muming
and
Sun
Qiang
were
doing
most
work
in
cloning
the
two
macaques.
B.Genetic
research
on
monkeys
can
be
seen
as
effective
as
that
on
humans.
C.Most
drug
trials
have
been
done
on
mice
because
mice
share
the
same
genetic
make-up
and
complexity
with
humans.
D.Scientists
can
reproduce
mass
cloned
monkeys
to
cut
down
experiment
costs.
4.This
passage
above
can
be
most
probably
read
in
________.
A.a
science
magazine
B.a
guidebook
C.a
science
fiction
D.a
brochure
答案:【语篇解读】
本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了中国在生命科学中所取得的突破——成功克隆了两只猕猴。
1.D
解析:细节理解题。本题题干意为:对于两只克隆猕猴的描述哪项是正确的?根据第一段最后一句(这项科学技术和1996年用于克隆羊多莉的技术类似。)可知答案为D项。根据第二段第一句(1999年出生的猴子Tetra是世界上第一只克隆猴……)可排除A项(它们是世界上最先被克隆出来的猴子);第一段第一句中“using
non-reproductive
cells”与B项中的“using
reproductive
cells”相悖,故排除B项;C项(它们会被喂养以满足实验需要)在文中未提及,故排除。
2.A
解析:词义猜测题。本题题干意为:第四段中的画线词在意思上与________最接近?第三段提到:为了研发药物和进行其他实验测试,科学家们不得不在世界各地购买猴子,这样不仅成本高,对环境不利,并且由于买来的这些猴子基因不同,还会使得测试结果也不精确。第四段介绍说:通过体细胞克隆猴子可以解决这个问题,即在短期内大规模培养出相同基因的猴子,由此可知identical的意思是“相同的”,故答案为A项。
3.B
解析:细节理解题。本题题干意为:从文中可以得知什么?根据最后一段第一句“Monkeys
and
humans
are
both
primates,so
they
are
much
closely
related
and
testing
on
monkeys
is
supposed
to
be
as
effective
as
testing
on
humans.”(猴子与人都属于灵长类动物,所以他们关系非常密切,对猴子有效的测试应该同样适用于人类。)可知答案为B项。
4.A
解析:文章出处题。本题题干意为:上面这篇文章最可能在________被读到。本文报道的是在克隆方面所取得的科研成果,应该出自科学杂志,故答案为A项。

groups
for
suggesting
training
school
staff
to
use
firearms.
In
the
last
few
days,safety
at
Marjory
Stoneman
Douglas
High
has
been
called
into
question
again
after
several
security
breaches(违反).
Three
students
were
arrested
on
Tuesday,two
for
carrying
knives
and
one
for
making
threats
on
Snapchat.
Some
parents
have
become
so

off
school.
“We
ve
got
to
put
things
into
place
now,”
Mr.
Runcie
said.
