限时规范练35(选修6Module5)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、克隆科技的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AThe news that researchers have used cloning to make human embryos for the purpose of producing stem cells may have some people wondering if it would ever be possible to clone a person.Although it would be immoral,experts say it is likely biologically possible to clone a human being.Since the 1950s when researchers cloned a frog,scientists have cloned dozens of animal species,includingmice,cats,sheep,pigs and cows.With mice,researchers are able to use thousands of eggs,and conduct many experiments,to work out these problems.“It’s a numbers game,” said Dr.Robert Lanza,the chief scientific officer at a biotech company.“But with primates (灵长类动物),eggs are very precious,and it is not easy to get them to conduct experiments.”In addition,researchers can’t simply apply what they’ve learned from cloning mice or cows to cloning people.Cloning an animal requires that researchers remove proteins that are necessary to help cells divide.In mice,this isn’t a problem,because the embryo that is created is able to make these proteins again.But primates aren’t able to do this,and researchers think it may be one reason that attempts to clone monkeys have failed.What’s more,cloned animals often have different kinds of abnormalities.These abnormalities are common because cloned embryos have just one parent rather than two,which means that a process known as “imprinting (印记)” does not occur properly in cloned embryos.“Problems with imprinting can result in extremely large embryos,which leads to problems with blood flow for the baby,” Lanza said.“The extremely high rate of death and the developmental abnormalities from cloning make cloning people immoral.It’s like sending your baby up in a rocket knowing there’s a 50-50 chance that it’s going to explode.”1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.Animal cloning is illegal.B.Human cloning is possible.C.Human embryos may have new functions.D.Animal embryos can be used for medicine.2.How does the author develop Paragraph 2?A.By making comparisons.B.By showing processes.C.By offering analyses.D.By using statistics.3.How were the experiments on cloning monkeys?A.They have solved the problem with proteins.B.They have been applied to human cloning.C.They were successful.D.They were in trouble.BIn beautiful rural Montana can be found the town of Livingston.It is close to Yellowstone National Park,which makes it a tourist center.Outdoor enthusiasts gather here each year.Low-income families are more likely to face food insecurity.Around half the students in the Livingston School District qualify for free or reduced-price lunches,according to local educator Rachael Jones,known as “Farmer Jones.” She is the director of the Livingston Farm to School program,which uses the district’s two greenhouses and four gardens to grow food that supplements school meals while offering kids hands-on lessons.Jones said,“In many places around the country,if you can’t pay for your school meal,you don’t eat.Well,here,we don’t turn anyone away.”The town’s school district and community members started the program eight years ago.It’s part of the National Farm to School Network,which aims to increase access to local food and nutrition education across the country.Jones,who attended public school in Livingston as a kid,has headed up the local program since 2014.Farm to School enriches the curriculum in all of the schools through garden lessons,cafeteria and kitchen lessons,and classroom lessons.Research has shown that healthy school meals can improve academic performance,including improved test scores.Though the Farm to School program is not aimed only at lower-incomestudents,Jones said such kids are more likely to eat lunch provided by the school.Eventually she wants to get healthy,affordable meals on the plates of every child in Livingston.It is important for kids to understand where their food comes from.That’s a life-changing experience for them.Jones said,“When I grew up a big force in my life was my grandma Ethel.She taught me from a really early age the value of growing your own food.I worked in her gardens with her,andsomehow,through all of those experiences — eating her tomatoes and canning pickles (把腌菜装罐保存) with her — it really built up my trust and knowledge in food systems.I’m so thankful for her!”4.Who is “Farmer Jones”?A.She is a local farmer.B.She is a school president.C.She is a student in a local school.D.She is a teacher in a local school.5.What is the purpose of the Livingston Farm to School program?A.To contribute to local environmental protection.B.To provide part-time jobs for students.C.To help local farmers make a living.D.To offer students food and lessons.6.What can be learned from Paragraph 4?A.Students performed better in their studies than before.B.The program offered all students free meals.C.Students faced health problems.D.The program lacked money.7.What is the root of Jones’ confidence in food systems?A.Her grandma’s suggestions.B.Her childhood experiences.C.Her college education.D.Her healthy lifestyle.二、七选五I was giving my 5-year-old a bath one night when she looked out the window at our fence and announced,“You know,Mamma,sometimes looking at trees helps you to think.”1What a deep observation from a little child.“You are right,” I encouraged.“What are you thinking about?”Lately,there have been a lot of changes going on in my life at work.Business has been hard and I have been doing a lot of consulting for customers who haven’t been able to afford help.2I have a need and desire to help,but I often say “Yes” when my wallet should be saying “No!”The last few years have been such a struggle for so many of my customers from so many walks of life. 3Worse yet,I always have a voice in the back of my head that says if I don’t relax or learn a better way to deal with stress,cancer might come near!So when my daughter said that one sentence,I promised to spend more time in nature.4It is so grounding and so healing.I have traded a few gym days for hikes in the hills above my house.5I am always more clear-headed after that.So I plan on spending some time this summer in southern California,enjoying thinking at the base of an old,wise tree — with my daughter of course.A.I struggle with this.B.What she said is so true.C.My health is on the downside.D.I decided to stop the busy life.E.I just sat in surprise and silence.F.I have trouble sleeping,sometimes.G.Have you ever sat in a park and stared at a tree?三、语法填空The day after
