One possible version:
There has been a heated discussion about whether cloning technique should be developed. Opinions differ greatly from person to person.
Some who are in favour of its development hold the belief that it will be bound to benefit human. One of the advantages of cloning is that large quantities of commercial food can be produced to meet people’s needs. What’s more, we can also clone human body organs for medical use.
One the contrary, others strongly object to it, because they feel cast down to find that it could raise a storm of moral questions.
However, in my opinion, cloning will pay off as long as all undertake to use it properly.

(2020·石家庄重点高中摸底)I can proudly say that last year I broke the record for the oldest person in the world to ride a roller coaster. I’m 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I’m in good condition. I’m a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issue.
I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land, which spins you round quite fast. I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn’t ride something like that, because it would affect my blood pressure and I might have some danger.
I wasn’t nervous—I don’t get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn’t fall out. The roller coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience. And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, which was fantastic.
People were saying I’d got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one I got a year earlier.
My recordbreaking ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ice bucket challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. After that, I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.
I’m not sure if anyone admires all the fun I’m having. They just say I’m daft and that’s about it. But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times. I’ve had a really good life. I don’t think I’ve wasted any of it.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了世界上玩过山车年龄最大的老人的经历。他已经105岁,获得了吉尼斯世界纪录证书;此外,他还参加过“冰桶挑战”,为慈善组织募捐。他认为自己没有浪费人生,过得很充实。
1.Why didn’t the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus?
A.Because he was told not to do so.
B.Because he considered it too gentle.
C.Because he thought it spun too fast.
D.Because he was in a bad physical condition.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down.”可知,作者没有选择坐Twistosaurus,是因为他想要坐真正的快速翻转的过山车,即他认为Twistosaurus太过平缓,故B项正确。
2.How did the author most probably react while riding the roller coaster?
A.He really enjoyed himself.
B.He was very worried at first.
C.He couldn’t think much about it.
D.He got frightened as it started moving.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The roller coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience.”可知,乘坐过山车持续三到四分钟,作者认为这是一次再好不过的经历了。据此可推知,作者在坐过山车时很享受,故A项正确。
3.What do you know about the author from paragraph 4?
A.He was eager to get certificates.
B.He disliked showing off his success.
C.He was the oldest person in the world.
D.He set a record the year before last year.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“last year”和第四段的内容,尤其是尾句“I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one I got a year earlier.”可知,去年作者把这张吉尼斯世界纪录证书挂在客厅的墙上,还有一张是一年前挂的。据此可知,作者在前年也创造了一项纪录。
4.Which word can best describe the author?
A.Cooperative. B.Optimistic.
C.Generous. D.Intelligent.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times. I’ve had a really good life. I don’t think I’ve wasted any of it.”并结合文章描述的作者105岁还创造吉尼斯世界纪录可知,作者认为自己有过许多美好的日子和许多激动人心的时刻,他过得很好,没有浪费人生;据此可推知,作者是一个乐观的人,故B项正确。

(2020·昆明高三诊断)Artificial intelligence(AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like liver cancer in ways that were never before possible.
Rishi Rawat, who teaches AI at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, is part of a team of scientists researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the liver. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says, “You can put the data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition is important for making decisions.”
David Agus is another researcher. He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can’t recognize by itself.”
Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Nowadays, researchers take a thin piece of tissue(组织), put it on a small piece of glass and add color to see the cells better. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns or structures, and learn how the cells are organized.
The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. Agus says the process could be done for almost no cost in the developing world and that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.
The researchers of the university are now only studying liver cancer. But doctors predict artificial intelligence will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer.
【解题导语】 本章讲述了人工智能有望帮助医生诊断和治疗癌症。
5.What can AI do with the help of the information provided by the researchers?
A.Recognize cancer patterns.
B.Treat liver cancer.

【难句分析】 Agus says the process could be done for almost no cost in the developing world and that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.
分析:本句是一个主从复合句。the process...in the developing world是省略了that的宾语从句;that having a large amount of information...in medicine是与其并列的宾语从句;其中,having a large amount of information是动名词短语作主语。
译文:Agus说,这一过程在发展中国家几乎不需要任何成本就可以完成,而且拥有大量与患者有关的信息对于一台机器有效地完成医学工作来说非常重要。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2020·石家庄质检)I just counted how many foreign languages I’ve studied so far in my life and it’s been twelve!
I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I’m already interested in. I like to read blogs(博客) in other languages. 1.________. For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don’t have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles in the language you’re learning. 2.________, they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language. Personally, I’m so bad at understanding lyrics(歌词) even in English, so this one doesn’t really work for me, but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I’m super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours. 3.________.
When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade, it can be hard to stick with it. The hardest bit for me is when I’m comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I’m actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian. 4.________. Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting selfsatisfied, it’s time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons, or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
5.________. The best language class I’ve ever taken was my beginner’s Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A.That’s really uncomfortable
B.Whatever languages they’re translated into
C.I also try to think in the language I’m learning
D.It’s time well spent if I’m learning the language
E.Computer games always make me feel worn out
F.Though they don’t always exactly match what’s being said
G.I found them the perfect learning tool because they’re usually written in oral language
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”一共学习过十二种语言,在学习语言的过程中“我”尝试过各种各样的方法。
1.G 解析:根据空后一句“For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don’t have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.”可知,通常,博主们倾向于用他们说话的方式来写;据此可推知,“我”发现博客是学习语言的好工具,因为它们常常是用口语写作的,故G项正确。
2.F 解析:根据该句中的“they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language”并结合常识可推知,电影中的字幕虽然有时和所说的话不是很一致,但是仍然会让你的大脑用同样的语言听和看, 故F项与此处匹配。
3.D 解析:根据空处前两句“A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I’m super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours.”可知,许多语言学习电脑程序中都包含游戏,而“我”是一心求胜,如果“我”玩任何一个,“我”都能上瘾好几个小时。据此可推知,如果“我”在学习这门语言,花费的时间是值得的,故D项符合语境。
4.A 解析:根据空处前两句“The hardest bit for me is when I’m comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I’m actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian.”可知,对“我”来说,最难的部分是当“我”足够自信能用一门语言来理解大多数东西并使自己被理解的时候。在学挪威语时“我”实际上被困于这种状态了;据此可推知,那让“我”感到很不舒服,故A项正确。
5.C 解析:根据空处所在的位置可知,空处为该段的主题句;根据该段中的“It got to the point where...with the limited Russian I had.”可知,“我”回忆了当时在大学上俄语课时的感受;据此可推知,该段主要介绍“我”也使用“我”正在学的语言来进行思考,故C项正确。
