技术,让他们的子女“重生”。1.C　细节理解题。依据文章第一段可知,约翰表示,未来50年内,克隆技术将可以成功应用于人类。故选C项。2.D　细节理解题。依据第二段中的“afterthebirthofLouiseBrown,thefirst‘testtubebaby’”排除A项;文章最后一段说明克隆人类赞成者占6成,依旧存在争议,故排除B项;第二段SirJohn的话表明,他对克隆人类充满了希望,故排除C项;第二段的最后一句说明克隆技术只能克隆已经存在的人。故选D项。3.A　词义猜测题。依据第二段中的“doctorswouldthereforesimplybe‘copyingwhatnaturehasalreadyproduced’”可知,医生只是复制已经存在的人,故选A项。4.B　主旨大意题。作者在文中讲述了去年获得诺贝尔医学奖的英国科学家对克隆人类的前景的预测。故选B项。3
