Writing
Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO
MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
A bicycle helmet is a helmet intended to be worn while riding a bicycle．They are designed to reduce impacts to the skull of a cyclist in falls．However, there is a debate on whether helmets are useful for road cyclists．
The World Health Organization promote the use of helmets as a strategy for preventing people' s heads from being injured by bicycle crashes or falls．Use of cycling helmets is supported by numerous groups in the United States．U．S．-based cycling activist John Forester suggests that helmet wearing could prevent 300 deaths a year in the U．S．out of a total of 1530 preventable deaths．Public Health Law Research reports that there is enough evidence to establish that bicycle helmet laws are an effective public health intervention(干涉)aimed to reduce the number of head-related deaths．Received opinion in some countries is that bicycle helmets are useful and that every cyclist should wear one．Professional bodies elsewhere have agreed, such as the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention．
Mayer Hillman, a transport and road safety analyst from the UK, does not support the use of helmets, reasoning that they are of very limited value in the event of a collision with a car．He compares it to drawing conclusions on whether it is worthwhile to buy lottery tickets．Cyclists' representative groups complain that focus on helmets diverts attention from other issues which are much more important for improving bicycle safety, such as road danger reduction．The UK's largest cyclists' organization, the CTC, believes that the "overall health effects of compulsory helmets are negative．" The same report estimated that universal helmet use would save the life of one child aged 0 to 15 each year．
Up to now, the debate is with no consensus, but an organization has published a review of studies in 2011, saying there is a good deal of evidence that those wearing a helmet are more likely to crash than bareheaded cyclists．

Parties held by the wealthy seldom welcome poor guests. But last week China made it through the doors into a gathering of the world's richest countries.
Jim Renqing, China's finance minister, and Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People's Bank of China, joined a meeting of the Group of Seven (G7) on October 1,2004. It is the first time that China has had direct talks with the club. It was a good chance to share the world powers' thoughts about critical economic issues and promote understanding.
China's participation is a natural part of its increasingly important role in the global economy. China is the world's factory and the biggest market.
America and China made up almost half of global economic growth last year.“If American consumers and Chinese producers were to reduce their activities at the same time, global growth would drop greatly,”said the Economist, a leading British economics magazine.
Up to now Chinese economic stability has been closely related to world development.“The increasingly connected global economy means that China should be a part of the meeting.”said Stephen Roach, a world famous economist.
During the meeting, China represented developing countries. It called on the world's developed nations to increase their spending on aid to poorer countries. Jin said that overall official help form developed countries is only 0.23 percent of their Gross Domestic Product (国内生产总值), much lower than the 0.7 per cent UN target. And this should be changed.

查看习题详情和答案>>Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

B
Rome-Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on the point of cloning the first human baby．
Dr．Severino Antinori, who is the head of a hospital in Rome, has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant （怀孕的）with a cloned baby．
Antinori refused to comment on the reports, but in March 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo （卵）for implantation within two years．So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully cloned, including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits．
Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admit that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a world wide ban on the practice．
Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said: “I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby．It is using humans as guinea pigs．It makes people feel sick．” But Ronald Green, director of the Ethics institute at Darmouth College in the US, said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth．
So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of them dying soon after their births ．
Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one．
“There are no benefits of cloned human beings, just harm,”said Dr．Michael Wilks of the UK．
45．What is the doctors’ general attitude to cloning of humans according to the passage?
A．They are against it． B．They support it．
C．They welcome it． D．They pay no attention to it．
46．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Doctor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings．
B．Up to now, seven kinds of animals have been cloned, including sheep, cats, humans and rabbits．
C．Professor Rudolf Jaenisch is carrying on an experiment on cloning an eight-week-old embryo．
D．Ronald Green doubts about the future successful birth of the so-called cloned embryo．
47．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．The Success of Cloning Humans B．The Anger at Cloning Humans
C．Failure of Cloning Humans D．First Cloned Human?
