This is the solution offered by a South Korean company，Sooam Biotech Research Foundation.The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs，mostly for US customers，ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005.Now，Sooam Biotech has introduced its business to UK dog owners as well，offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.To clone a dog，researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died.Meanwhile，another dog is selected to supply an egg.Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb(子宮) of a female dog.The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months.The whole process takes less than a day，but it comes at a shockingly high pricearound 63,000.But if you can't afford it now，you can also save the cell in a laboratory and access it at a later date.However，magical as cloning might sound，there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one.Just like identical twins of humans，they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between them.“The spots on a Dalmatian(斑點狗) clone will be different，for example，” Insung Hwang，head of Sooam Biotech，told The Guardian.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “cloneable”Apart from genes，personality is also determined by upbringing and environment，which are both random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome，Professor Tom Kirkwood at Newcastle University，UK，told The Telegraph.Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all.Kirkwood，a dog owner himself，pointed out，“An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go.”【語篇解讀】本文主要介紹了克隆狗技術(shù)。1What service does Sooam Biotech Research Foundation offer?AMaking copies of pet dogs.BGiving pet dogs identical twins.CHelping dogs give birth to more puppies.DHelping dog owners love their dogs more.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Now，Sooam Biotech has introduced its business to UK dog owners as well，offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones”可知，這家公司所提供的服務(wù)就是克隆已逝的寵物狗，故選A。2Which order is correct in the dog cloning process?aAn egg is taken from another dog.bA skin cell is taken from the pet dog.cThe egg grows into a puppy in two months.dThe egg is placed in the womb of a female dog.eThe DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell.Aadbec.Baebdc.Cbadec.Dbaedc.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)對第三段的整體理解可知，實驗的第一步是從狗身上提取皮膚細(xì)胞，另一只被選擇的狗提供一個卵子，將卵子中的DNA替換成皮膚細(xì)胞中的DNA之后，將卵子植入一只母狗的子宮，最后卵子在接下來的兩個月中生長為一只小狗，故選D。3What can we learn about dog cloning from the passage?AIt has not been put into practice until recently.BIt is very popular among US and UK pet owners.CIt might not give the owners an exactly same dog.DIt is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第一句“However，magical as cloning might sound，there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one”可知，克隆狗和原來的狗可能并非完全一樣，故選C。4What does Kirkwood think of dog cloning?AHe disagrees with it.BHe supports it.CHe is curious about it.DHe thinks it unbelievable.A觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段Kirkwood說的話“An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go”可知，他認(rèn)為人類和寵物狗之間的關(guān)系的一個重要方面是要接受失去它們的痛苦；由此可推知，Kirkwood并不贊成克隆狗，故選A。B(2019·惠州市第二次調(diào)研)Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?If yes，you're not alone.These days，many people suffer from the stress of FOMO(fear of missing out)They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning，and for the rest of the day，they constantly scroll down the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates.Despite the convenience smartphones bring，many people struggle with their digital habits.As Sameer Samat，vice president of product management，said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8,70% of people don't want to spend so much time on their phones.This is why during the conference Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new version of its Android operating system.This new app includes well­being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.It all starts with a bird's­eye view.Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits.For example，users can see how many times they've unlocked their phone and how many times they've checked their social media apps，as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information，they'll be able to make some changes.With the AppTimer functions，users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day.After they've hit the limit，they won't be able to launch the app until the next day.But even if users become more mindful of their usage，they're still likely to be drawn in by notifications(通知)This is where the Shush feature comes in.It automatically silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts his/her phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smartphones，these new functions are just one way of doing that.After all，who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower?【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。作者以人們不想浪費過多的時間在手機上為切入點，介紹了一款可以用來阻止人們過度使用手機的應(yīng)用程序，包括其功能和特色等。5People under the pressure of FOMO may _.Ahave trouble with their sleepBfind it hard to focus on anythingCbe

This，combined with the baby's facial expression，causes the robot to turn its head and guide the baby's attention to a computer screen，on which a human avatar starts to communicate with the baby，much like a parent would.For example，if the baby points towards the screen，the avatar might respond，“Are you pointing to me？” and follow that up with a nursery rhyme，fairy tale，or some essential social communication，all in American Sign Language(ASL)The “conversation” continues until the kid loses interest.The researchers，who have been testing the system for three years，found that babies as young as 6 to 8 months old began to move their hands in a rhythm similar to ASL after interacting with RAVE for just a few minutes.Petitto says natural language，whether communicated through speech or sign，activates the same parts of the brain and believes the rhythmic motions prove the babies are learning the essential elements of communication.What sets this technique apart from other methods，such as showing educational videos or television shows，is its interactive nature and real­time response to the baby's actions.The researchers say that while it is too early to determine the system's long­term influence on baby communication，the initial response has been very encouraging.Next，they plan to introduce an avatar that can both sign and speak to babies.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種可以幫助父母教嬰兒學(xué)習(xí)語言的系統(tǒng)，以及該系統(tǒng)的工作原理、效果評價和研究人員對這種技術(shù)的展望。1What can the RAVE system help parents do?AImprove babies' health condition.BTake good care of babies.CDevelop babies' language skills.DKeep babies company.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“Experts believe that the best time to teach kids language skills is when they are babies.”可知，專家認(rèn)為教孩子語言技能的最佳時間是孩子的嬰兒時期；結(jié)合第一段尾句“Now，an adorable blue­eyed robot.this important developmental task.”以及第二段可知，RAVE系統(tǒng)可以幫助父母完成教嬰兒學(xué)習(xí)語言的任務(wù)，故C項正確。2What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?AHow babies learn ASL effectively.BHow parents educate their babies.CHow robots talk and read to babies.DHow the RAVE system works.D段落大意題。根據(jù)第二段第二、三句可知，機器人的攝像頭可以檢測到嬰兒細(xì)微的體溫變化并與嬰兒的面部表情相結(jié)合，使機器人轉(zhuǎn)動頭部，引導(dǎo)嬰兒注意電腦屏幕，在電腦屏幕上，一個人類的形象開始與嬰兒交流，就像父母一樣；結(jié)合全段內(nèi)容可知，該段主要介紹了RAVE系統(tǒng)的工作原理，故D項正確。3What indicates babies are learning with the help of the RAVE system?AInterest in videos and TV shows.BChanges in their body temperature.CImprovement in their natural language.DHand movements in a rhythm like ASL.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“babies as young.a few minutes”可知，在和這種系統(tǒng)交流互動之后，嬰兒就會開始以類似于ASL的節(jié)奏晃動他們的手，故D項正確。4What do the researchers think of the RAVE system?APromising.BImpractical.CSatisfactory.DDisappointing.A觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第四段第二、三句可知，盡管對這種系統(tǒng)培養(yǎng)嬰兒交流技能的長期影響進行評價為時過早，但是其初期的表現(xiàn)令人鼓舞。研究人員將在下一步推出可以用手語和口語與嬰兒交流的形象。據(jù)此可知，研究人員對這種系統(tǒng)的發(fā)展是充滿著希望的，A項意為“很有前途的，大有希望的”，符合語境，故A項正確。B(2019·南昌NCS20190607項目一模)Alongside air and water，food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive.But it's a lot more than that.As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote，“The most intimate(親密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being.Instead，it is between our bodies and our food.”Nowadays，for most people in the world's wealthiest countries，food is a hobby，an enthusiasm，an even something fashionable.Turn on the TV in the US.，U.K.or France，and you'll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession.And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a “foodie”It's almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen.But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging(夸耀)，many of us forget how much we take food for granted.This is why World Food Day is held each year.Take Kenya for example.This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts.The result is that people are beginning to starve.Children in particular are suffering，with some of them even dying.This may seem shocking to kn
