    [B] scientists are optimistic about cloning technique

    [C] many people are against the idea of human cloning

    [D] cloned animals are more favored by owners even if they are weaker


    正确答案:A
    细节题。文章一开始就引用专家威斯苏森的话,指出克隆人是愚蠢的尝试。第二段最后两句提到,克隆实验的低效性和危险性在克隆人中不可接受。文章末尾再次引用该专家的话,指出现在动物的克隆研究还没完全成功,没有必要想到克隆人。由此可见,技术是克隆实验存在的主要问题,也是阻碍克隆人实验的重要原因,因此可推知[A] 正确。[B] 明显错误,科学家并不乐观。全文只涉及专家和拥护克隆实验的人的观点,因此无法推知[C] 中的“许多人”。[D] 在文中没有提及。

    Older Volcanic Eruptions
    Volcanoes were more destructive in ancient history,not because they were bigger,but because the carbon dioxide they released wiped out life with greater ease.
    Paul Wignall from the University of Leeds was investigating the link between volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions.Not all volcanic eruptions killed off large numbers of animals,but all the mass extinctions over the past 300 million years coincided with huge formations of volcanic rock.To his surprise,the older the massive.volcanic eruptions were,the more damage they seemed to do.He calculated the"killing efficiency" for these volcanoes by comparing the proportion of life they killed off with the volume of lava(熔岩)that they produced.He found that size for size,older eruptions were at least 10 times as effective at wiping out life as their more recent rivals.
    The Permian(二叠纪)extinction,for example,which happened 250 million years ago,is marked by floods of volcanic rock in Siberia that cover an area roughly the size of western Europe.Those volcanoes are thought to have pumped out about 1 0 gigatonnes(十亿吨)of carbon as carbon dioxide.The global warming that followed wiped out 80 percent of all marine genera(种类)at the time,and it took 5 million years for the planet to recover.Yet 60 million years ago,there was another huge amount of volcanic activity and global warming but no mass extinction.Some animals did disappear but things returned to normal within ten thousands of years."The most recent ones hardly have an effect at all,"Wignall says.He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago,because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid(小行星).He thinks that older volcanoes had more killing power because more recent life forms were better adapted to dealing with increased levels of CO2.
    Vincent Courtillot,director of the Paris Geophysical InstitUte in France,says that Wignall's idea is provoca- tive.But he says it is incredibly hard to do these sorts of calculations.He points out that the killing power of volcanic eruptions depends on how long they lasted.And it is impossible to tell whether the huge blasts lasted for thousands or millions of years.He also adds that it is difficult to estimate how much lava prehistoric volcanoes produced,and that lava volume may not necessarily correspond to carbon dioxide emissions.

    Permian extinction occurred______.
    A:300 million years ago
    B:250 million years ago
    C:60 million years ago
    D:65 million years ago

    答案:B
    解析:
    由第三段最后一句可知,Wignall认为远古火山之所以更具有杀伤力,是因为近期的生物能更好地适应二氧化碳含量的上升。
    根据第二段第四句可知,“杀伤效率”是通过比较火山释放出的熔岩的体积与杀死生命的比例计算得出的。
    根据第三段第一句可知,二叠纪物种灭绝发生在两亿五千万年以前。
    根据第三段第三句可知,二叠纪后的全球变暖毁灭了80%的海洋生物,因此只有20%的海洋生物在这场劫难中生还,所以A项表述错误。
    最后一段表明了Vincent Courtillot的观点,根据最后一段第一句可知,他认为Wignall的观点具有争议性,因此他对Wignall的观点是持否定态度的。provocative挑衅的,煽动性的,激起争端的。

  • 第5题:

    Years ago,a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more,but enjoying it less.That describes the way many of us live today.We are doing more,but enjoying it less.And when that doesn't work,we get the problem.In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction,we try stuffing still more into our days,never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach.
    The truth is simple;so simple it is hard to believe.Satisfaction lies with less,not with more.Yet,we pursue the myth that this thing,or that activity,will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek.
    Arthur Lindman,in his very effective book,"The Harried Leisure Class,"described the uselessness of pursuing more.His research focused on what people did with their leisure time.He found that as income rose,people bought more things to occupy their leisure time.But,ironically,the more things they bought,the less they valued any one of them.Carried to an extreme,he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety.That was more than twenty years ago,and his prediction seems more accurate every year.
    Lindman of course,is not the first to discover this.The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago.It is better,he wrote,to have less,but enjoy it more.
    If you would like to enjoy life more,I challenge you to experiment with me.How could you simplify your life?What could you drop?What could you do without?What could you stop pursuing?What few things could you concentrate on?
    The more I learn,the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things.The more I give up,the more I seem to gain.But words will never convince you.You must try it for yourself.

    Lindman wrote his book__.

    A.ten years ago
    B.twenty years ago
    C.more than twenty years ago
    D.thousands of years ago

    答案:C
    解析:
    第三段最后。Arthur Lind man预言,巨大的无聊存在于极度的丰富之中。而这还是20多年前的预言,并且,他的预言越来越准确。选项D是第四段中另一本书的时间。

    C:60 million years ago.
    D:65 million years ago.

    答案:D
    解析:
    由文章第一段可知,远古火山喷发更具破坏力,不是因为它们规模更大,而是因为它们释放出的二氧化碳更容易毁灭生命。故选A。
    由文章第二段第四句话“He calculated the ‘ killing efficiency ' for those… they are produced.”可知,Wignall通过比较火山释放的熔岩的体积与杀死生命的比例计算这些火山的杀伤力。故选D0
    由文章第三段倒数第二句话“He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago …”可知,恐龙是在6500万年前灭绝的。故选D。
    由文章第三段倒数第二句话“… because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid.”可知,Wignall没有提6500万年前恐龙的灭绝是否跟火山爆发有关是因为许多科学家认为恐龙的灭绝是由一颗小行星的影响造成的。由此可推断出关于恐龙灭绝的原因在科学家之间是有分歧的。故选D。
    文章第一段直接点明了文章的主要论点。" Volcanoes were more destructive in ancient history..."(古代火山喷发更具破坏力)。故选B。
