欢迎来到英语课堂\n\n逸闻趣事以日常生活中的事情入手，描述一些鲜为人知的事。幽默故事是其主要内容。选材多来源于日常生活，给人似曾相识之感，但随着故事的发展、展开、结束，给人以意外的感觉。逸闻趣事类文章有以下趋势：1．特点：文章简短，描述一个片断。2．命题：多考查对事件的发生、发展和结局进行合理的推断。3．选材：描述“另类”，标新立异。\n\nIn2001，scientistsatTexasA&MUniversitysuccessfullyclonedacatforthefirsttime，butthiscopycatisnomirrorimageoftheoriginal.CopyCat(CC)wasthefirstcatevercloned.In2001，researchersatTexasA&MUniversitycreatedtheclonefromtheDNAofacalicocat(三色猫)namedRainbowafterafailedattemptatcloningadog.Interestingly，RainbowandCopyCataredifferentinmanyways.Rainbow'scoatisbrown，andwhite，whileCC'sisgrayandwhite;Rainbowisshy，butCCisoutgoingandcurious.ThedifferencesinthetwocatsindicatethatidenticalDNAwon'tnecessarilycreatesimilarappearancesorpersonalitiesbecausetherearemanyotherfactorsthatcontributetobothsurfacecharacteristicsandtemperament(性情)．\nCChassincegoneontohavethreehealthykittens(小猫)viathenaturalmethod，andtheresearchthatledtohercreationbecamethefoundationforaCalifornia—basedpetcloningcompanycalledGeneticSavings&Clone，Inc.However，thecatcloningprojectcausedcriticismfromanimalwelfaregroups，whichpointedoutthatmillionsofcatsarekilledinshelterseachyearduetopetoverpopulation.Theyarguedthatthelargesumsofmoneyspentoncreatingmorecatscouldbeputtobetteruseprovidinghomesforstrays.Therearealsoobjectionstothecloningprocessitself.Manypeopleconsidercloningcruel，asitisaprocessthatcanleadtodeformitiesandotherproblems，whichisevidentinthefactthatmanyclonesdiewithinmonthsorevendaysofcreation.\nMuchtothedelightofanimalwelfareadvocates(提倡者)，aftercloningfivecatsintotal，GeneticSavings&Cloneshutdownin2006.Thereasonforthecompany'sclosewasitsinabilitytomakeitscloningtechnologyaffordableandthusaccessibletomainstreamconsumers.1．Whatisthebesttitleofthepassage?A．ClonedCats—ASurprisingDevelopmentonTechnologyB．ClonedCats—CloningProducesSurprisingResultsC．ClonedCats—ACruelResearchinScienceD．ClonedCats—AProjectCausedCriticism\n2．WhichofthefollowingaboutCCisTRUE?A．Theresearchersfailedincloningitin2001.B．Itsfurisbrownandwhiteasthecalicocat.C．ItisoutgoingandcuriousasRainbow.D．Itdoesn'thavesimilarpersonalitiesasRainbow.3．Accordingtothepassage，GeneticSavings&Clone，Inc.isfoundedaftercloning________cat(s)．A．oneB．threeC．fourD．five4．What'stheunderlinedwordinthe6thparagraphsimilarto?A．Criticism.B．WasteofMoney.C．Disability.D．Overpopulation.\n5．Thereasonforthecompany'sdemiseisthat________.A．cloningisawasteofmoneyB．cloningiscruelsometimesC．cloningisinaccessibletomostpeopleD．cloningisaffordabletoconsumers\n【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是克隆猫所带来的令人惊讶的结果以及大众对她的看法。1.B主旨大意题。根据文中的主题讲述的是克隆出来的猫在性格和外观上都有所不同，这是比较鲜明的特点，因此文章的标题应该体现，因此选B。2．D细节理解题。根据文中第二段Rainbowisshy，butCCisoutgoingandcurious以及第三段ThedifferencesinthetwocatsindicatethatidenticalDNAwon‘tnecessarilycreatesimilarappearancesorpersonalities即可判断答案。3．A推理判断题。根据文中theresearchthatledtohercreationbecamethefoundation可判断当CC被克隆后这个地方成为了基地。4．C词义猜测题。根据otherproblems和whichisevidentinthefactthatmanyclonesdiewithinmonthsorevendaysofcreation可判断死亡是因为身体上出现问题，因此是身体上的残疾。\n5．C细节理解题。根据文章最后一段．..itsinabilitytomakeitscloningtechnologyaffordableandthusaccessibletomainstreamconsumers可判断。【难句分析】[原文]However，thecatcloningprojectcausedcriticismfromanimalwelfaregroups，whichpointedoutthatmillionsofcatsarekilledinshelterseachyearduetopetoverpopulation.[译文]然而，克隆工程引起了动物保护组织的批评。他们指出由于数量过剩，成百万的猫死于庇护所。[分析]这是一个含有非限制性定语从句的复合句，句子先行词为welfaregroups，在从句中做主语，完整的句子为(animalwelfaregroups)pointedoutthatmillionsofcatsarekilledinshelterseachyearduetopetoverpopulation。\n本小节结束请按ESC键返回\n
