Unit 2 Cloning
单元检测
Ⅰ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
After a couple has had their first child, to their disappointment they become infertile (不
生育的)and can not have more children . Many couples have difficulties having children, and sometimes it is impossible for couples to have children because they are infertile. Fortunately, cloning would allow these couples to have children. This is one reason why it is difficult to decide whether cloning is ethical(伦理的) or not. The following are some of the reasons why cloning should be allowed.
As just discussed, cloning can be used to help benefit those who cannot have children through
the normal, natural way. It is the desire of most couples to have children and when it is impossible to bear children of their own, some are willing to do anything to have a child. Cloning will allow them to have a child or many children that have the genetic(基因的)pattern of the parents.
Through cloning, research can progress. We can learn enough to produce human organs without
having to produce human beings. We may develop technology to allow easier genetic testing and fixing problems such as spinal cord injuries, cancer, and many more.
Cloning organs for organ transplants(移植) is one of the major practical reasons that
cloning should be allowed. There is always a high demand for organs. Some argue for the cloning of humans to create extra body parts. Others talk of just wanting to clone an organ to replace a faulty organ.
Rejuvenation (返老还童) is also a key argument for advocates of cloning. Human cloning may
one day cure heart attacks. Some scientists believe that by injecting cloned healthy heart cells into damaged heart tissue will lead to healing of the heart. 1. The topic of the text is introduced by________.
A. giving an example B. make comparisons
C. setting down general rules D. presenting research finding
2. The third paragraph is written to tell us ________ .
A. cloning can benefit research B. scientific research is progressing C. human organ are in great demand D. cloning makes genetic testing easier
3. Which of the following best shows the structure of the test?
B
Persuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special
techniques to accomplish. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.
Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.
Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience's emotions. For example, a politician
who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats to make the viewers feel pity, so they will be more likely to donate money.
Logos is the use of facts, statistics or other evidence to support your argument. An audience
will believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.
Although ethos, pathos and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when
used together. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.
4. What is the purpose of persuasion?
A. To advise somebody to support you. B. To help someone have special skill C. To convince somebody to realize his aim. D. To talk someone into being honest.
5. What is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience to trust him?
A. Pathos. B. Ethos. C. Logos. D. Education.
6. What do a politician and an animal charity have in common?
A. Both prevent themselves from being hurt. B. Both save people from terrible wars. C. Both make the audience support them. D. Both persuade people to donate money.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Convince the Audience
B. Three Basic Tools of Persuasion C. Believe Me
D. Strength of Persuasion
