Since the great success of cloning the sheep Dolly, the cloning of human beings is no longer a fictional(虚构的) story but can be proved to be medically possible.1 I just want to say: NO! NEVER!

2 For example, they insist that if we could clone a new Einstein, we would make more progress on physics; and if we could get a new Shakespeare, we would enjoy more profound classic literary works and ... But how can we guarantee that another Hitler could not be brought back to life “thanks to” cloning? Moreover, can we give birth to a baby who exactly shares your grand grandpa’s genes? We would be confused by that relationship or kinship.3

Some scientists believe that we can get the organs we need to save people’s life from the cloned counterpart. But is it unfair to them? Even if they are not the creatures of nature but of technology, they are a kind of life.4 I do not suppose this action is humane.

5 It is another violation of the natural law. Life should be a cycle from birth to death and then rebirth and re-death. Every round of change can breed more varieties of genes. Thereby our human species can live rather than copying ourselves repeatedly, which I believe would lead to the final retrogression(退化) of human species.

A. I do not think we can be granted the right to kill them and take out the organs for our use.

B. If we can always replace our old organs with new ones, we will predictably never die.

C. Thus, the problem unavoidable arises: should we permit human cloning?

D. And in that case, we would find ourselves lost in an embarrassing and disorderly situation.

E. Some people maintain that it can save talents.

【题目】 One Monday morning, Paul and his classmates were in the science laboratory for their chemistry lesson. The students were going to work in pairs to do an experiment. Before they began, the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment.

Stage 1: Prepare the equipment: a test tube, a crucible(坩埚), a Bunsen burner(煤气灯)and tongs(钳子).

Stage 2: Weigh 5 grams of baking soda (小苏打) and put it in a crucible.

Stage 3: Heat 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (盐酸) in a test tube.

Stage 4: Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture.

Result: The acid reacts with the bicarbonate(碳酸氢盐)to form water, carbon dioxide gas and salt.

The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates(蒸发), leaving the salt in the crucible.

Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment. Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution(溶液).

He measured the liquid and poured it into a test tube. Using tongs to hold the test tube, he heated it over the Bunsen burner. That’s when things started to go wrong. The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid. When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.

All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. The teacher immediately opened the windows and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once. She realized that the liquid was acrylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous.

Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson.

A.waterB.saltC.acrylamideD.carbon dioxide gas

2How can they make the reaction quicker?

A.By putting more hydrochloric acid.B.By heating the hydrochloric acid.

C.By making the water cooler.D.By making the mixture hotter.

3Why did Paul make the mistake?

C.There was no label on the bottle.D.He didn’t pick the right one out of the bottles.

4What happened when Paul heated the liquid?

A.His teacher ordered him to stop it at once.B.The white poisonous gas was formed.

C.All the students left the lab at once.D.Someone was injured in the accident.

5What lesson did the incident teach the student and the teacher?

A.Never leave a bottle without a label in the chemistry lab.

B.Obey your teacher’s instructions in the chemistry lab.

C.Acrylamide can’t take the place of hydrochloric acid.

D.While something unusual happened, leave the lab at once.

But sweating puts much strain(张力)on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it is______ harder to lose heat when the external environment is warm ______. In addition, running in higher temperatures results in faster heart rates. Scientists find that heart rates are about 6 percent higher in the hotter conditions. However, running in cooler temperatures has ______advantages. One is that the body does not have to work so hard to pump blood to the skin surface in cooler temperatures, which means running requires less energy. Several websites note that the most important thing for people ________run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing.
