苏州市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（15）（答案及解析）‎ Words：395　难度系数：★★　建议用时：7分钟 The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals.‎ The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle，pigs and goats are safe to eat.An FDA official called them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day.” And when those clones reproduce sexually，the agency says，their offspring (后代) are safe to eat as well.But research on cloned sheep is limited.So the FDA proposes that sheep clones not be used for human food.‎ The United States this year could become the first country to agree to the sale of foods from cloned animals.First，however，the public will have ninety days to comment on three suggested documents.On December 28th the FDA released a long report，called a draft risk assessment，along with two policy documents.‎ The agency says it must receive comments by April second.The FDA seemed ready to act several years ago，but a committee called for more research.‎ For now，the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they not sell foods from cloned animals.‎ Clones are still rare.They cost a lot and are difficult to produce.‎ The FDA says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves，but from their sexually reproduced offspring.It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.‎ Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals.But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning.‎ Cloning differs from genetic engineering.A cell taken from a socalled donor animal is grown into an embryo (胚胎) in the laboratory.Next，the embryo(胚胎) is placed into the uterus (子宫) of a female animal.If the process is successful，the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.‎ ‎4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? ‎ A．To tell an interesting story.‎ B．To give some advice on foods.‎ C．To give a report.‎ D．To compare different opinions.‎ 解析：选C。主旨大意题。本篇文章是关于克隆食物的安全问题的报道。‎ ‎5．Who believe that foods from cloning are safe to eat?‎ A．Most Americans.‎ B．An advisory committee.‎ C．Critics.‎ D．The FDA.‎ 解析：选D。细节理解题。文章开头说，美国食品和药品管理局告诉公众，克隆动物制品可以安全食用，其后代也能安全食用。‎ ‎6．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.‎ A．cloning has much in common with genetic B．not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copy C．the donor animal should be a female one D．cloned animals grow faster than normal ones 解析：选B。推理判断题。最后一段说，“如果这个过程成功的话”，怀孕的动物的孕期就会自然成熟。由此判断选B，这个过程也有失败的时候。‎ ‎7．Which of the following is true about foods from cloning?‎ A．They come from the sexually reproduced offspring of cloned animals.‎ B．The food from firstgeneration cloned animals is very expensive.‎ C．Only FDA has the right to sell the food.‎ D．They will be sold mixed with those from naturally bred animals.‎ 解析：选A。推理判断题。第七段说，克隆动物的肉食不是来自克隆动物本身，而是来自有性繁殖的后代，克隆动物将被用做繁殖动物，以传递优良素质。‎ ‎*******************************************************结束 阅读理解 Words：345　难度系数：★★★　建议用时：8分钟 ‎“You are going to the United States to live? How wonderful! You are really lucky.”‎ Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home.But does it true all the time? Is your life in the new country always wonderful and exciting?‎ Specialists say that it isn’t easy to get used to life in a new culture.“Culture shock” is the term specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment.“There are three stages of culture shock, ”say the specialists.In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment.Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else.In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result enjoy their life more.‎ There are some obvious factors in culture shock.The weather may be unpleasant.The customs may ‎ be different.The public service systems the telephone, post office, or transportation maybe difficult to work out.The simplest things seem to be big problems.The language may be difficult.‎ Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that.But culture shock surprises most people.Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community.Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions.They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity.‎ They have to build a new selfimage.‎ Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘)．This feeling may be homesickness.When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time.They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security.This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture.Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long term solutions to the problem of culture shock.‎ ‎1．When people move to a new country, they ________.‎ A．will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty B．have well prepared for their new surroundings C．will get used to the culture of the country quickly D．will never be familiar with the culture of the country 解析：选A。由文章第三段第一句“Specialists say that it isn’t easy to get used to life in a new culture.”得出答案。‎ ‎2．According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except ________.‎ A．language communication ‎ B．weather conditions and customs C．public service systems D.homesickness 解析：选D。由文章第四段可推出答案。‎ ‎3．According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, ________.‎ A．the fewer difficulties you may have abroad B．the more difficulties you may have abroad C．the more money you’ll earn abroad D．the less homesick you’ll feel abroad 解析：选B。由文章第五段可知，最能感受到文化冲击的人是在家乡及社会团体中最成功的人，因为他们一切都要从头开始。‎ ‎4．When people are homesick，they tend to ________.‎ A．find some people to talk to B．go outside to have a walk C．visit their friends far away [来源:学科网]‎ D．stay indoors all the time 解析：选D。由文章最后一段可得出答案。‎ ‎*********************************************************结束 完形填空（共20小题，每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳答案。‎ ‎ It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us.

This is a good rule to follow when you try to judge the cleverness of others by their looks and performance. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in novel writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl. But don’t make the mistake of thinking he might ‎ not be that clever. With a pen and paper, he can tell what he thought very well.‎ Other people may fool you into mistakenly thinking they are clever by putting up a good front.‎ A student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a good impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may get scores much lower than his classmates.‎ We may conclude that: you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to tell whether a person is clever or not is to get to know him by observing(观察) how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge the book by its cover.‎ ‎71 The best title for this passage is ______________.‎ A.
