Question

Scientists have made the world’s first human-sheep----with the body of a sheep and half-human organs(器官). Amazing, but true. The sheep is15percent human and 85 percent sheep. The breakthrough(突破)makes it possible to use animal organs in human bodies in the future. Professor Esmail Zanjani of University of Nevada, US, has spent seven years And over $9 million on the work. Zanjani took stem cells(干细跑) from the human body and put them into the sheep while it was still in its mother’s body. The stem cells made other cells that grew into organs. Zanjani believe that in the future such sheep might be used to help humans. Two months later a human-sheep is born, it has a liver(肝脏), heart, ling(肺) and brain that are part-human. These organs could be used to help people in need of them. There are different opinions about his work, however. Some say that scientists don’t have the right to create new creature(生物). Using animal organ might bring animal viruses(病毒) into human bodies. Others are afraid that the work might change sheep. But Professor Anjani has said that this is impossible.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了科学家们已经发明了世界上第一个人造羊，美国教授相信在未来这些羊可以用来帮助人类。然而,关于他的工作有不同的看法。有人说,科学家们没有正确的创建新生物。使用动物器官可能使动物病毒进入人体。其他人则担心这项研究可能会改变羊。但是Anjani教授说那是不可能的。

1. Scientists have made the world’s first human-sheep----with the body of a sheep and half-human organs(器官)，可知是羊的身体，所以看起来像羊，故选A。

2.短文The breakthrough(突破)makes it possible to use animal organs in human bodies in the future可知这个突破在未来人类的身体使用动物器官成为可能。故选D

3.细节理解题。根据短文Using animal organ might bring animal viruses(病毒) into human bodies.故选C

4.推理判断题。根据Two months later a human-sheep is born, it has a liver(肝脏), heart, ling(肺) and brain that are part-human.可知新的生物出生了，故选B

5.是非判断题。根据短文These organs could be used to help people in need of them.可知这些器官使用来帮助需要的器官的人的，故C错误，故选C。
