2 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Lin Shuiqing: Good morning, everyone. First I am talking to you today about the way vast areas of the world are damaged by chemical waste. Many places have been destroyed and many plants and animals     1    (die). Other types of waste flow into our water,     2     (kill) river and sea life.

Much sea life is being destroyed by fishing boats as well. These boats catch large numbers of fish without    3     (give) them time to lay eggs. This will result    4    a smaller number of fish left for us to eat in the future.

Qian Liwei: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, Ms Lin. That was    5    interesting speech. It is clear that you are very concerned about the present situation of our environment. When people think of    6    (factory), they think of clouds of dirty smoke or of pipes pouring chemical waste into rivers. People often have this belief     7    development is bad for the environment. What I’m here to say is that       8     (work) with many environmental consultants, I know that a healthy environment and development should be    9    ( possibly) at the same time. What we need are better laws    10     (preserve) the environment and still allow our country to grow.

3 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Sally had trouble in speaking when she was in public. I'm a nurse and I love kids and dogs. I wanted to use my dog to bring her joy, comfort and confidence.

That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room by the school office. “Sally hasn't spoken outside her home for two years, "she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked." Sally stood shyly just inside the doorway. Her eyes brightened when she noticed my dog.

“It is my dog, Bella.” I said. “Would you like to play with her? Bella doesn't know anyone here and she'd like to meet you. She can understand my hand signals(手势). Would you like to see that?"

Sally nodded. I showed Bella some hand signals, then Bella lay down and then rolled over. Sally was cheered up. “She'll do it for you too. I can teach you." I said.

I could see that Sally treated Bella as her best friend and they were happy to stay with each other. Soon Bella was able to follow Sally's commands(指令). I could see something had been changed little by little.

One morning, when she was playing with Bella, I heard a low voice “Good dog”. I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later, she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose. Still, she hadn't spoken in her classroom.

“Could you bring Bella to my class and show the other kids that she can understand your voice commands?” Sally asked me one day. An idea came to my mind. Then I said, “Why don't you do it yourself? I know you can." She agreed.

5 . Babies made from three people approved in UK

Babies made from two women and one man have been approved by the UK’s fertility regulator. The historic and controversial move is to prevent children from being born with deadly genetic diseases.

Doctors in Newcastle — who developed the advanced form of In Vitro Fertilization or IVF (人工授精) — are expected to be the first to offer the procedure and have already appealed for donor eggs. The first such child could be born, at the earliest, by the end of 2017.

Some families have lost multiple children to incurable mitochondrial (线粒体的) diseases, which can leave people with insufficient energy to keep their heart beating.

The diseases are passed down from only the mother, so a technique using a donor egg as well as the mother’s egg and father’s sperm has been developed.

The resulting child has a tiny amount of their DNA from the donor, but the procedure is legal and reviews say it is ethical (伦理的) and scientifically ready.

“It is a decision of historic importance,” said Sally Cheshire, chairwoman of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). “I’m sure patients will be really pleased by what we’ve decided today.”

But some scientists have questioned the ethics of the technique, saying it could open the door to genetically-modified(转基因) ‘designer’ babies.

The HFEA must approve every clinic and every patient before the procedure can take place. Three-person babies have been allowed only in cases where the risk of a child developing mitochondrial disease is very high.

Prof Mary Herbert, from the Newcastle Fertility Centre, said, “It is enormously pleasing that our many years of research in this area can finally be applied to help families affected by these devastating diseases”.

“Now that we are moving forward towards clinical treatments, we will also need donors to donate eggs for use in treatment to prevent affected women transmitting disease to their children.”

Prof Sir Doug Turnbull, the director of the Welcome Centre for Mitochondrial Research at Newcastle University, said, “We are delighted by today’s decision. We will also provide long-term follow up of any children born.”

NHS England has agreed to fund the treatment costs of the first trial of three-person IVF for those women who meet the HFEA criteria, as long as they agree to long-term follow up of their children after they are born.

1. Why is it historically important to approve babies made from three people?

A．It helps couples who lose the ability to give birth to a baby.

B．It marks a foundation stone to change babies’ appearances before birth.

C．It stops deadly genetic diseases passing down to newly-born babies.

D．It turns out to be an advanced form of In Vitro Fertilization.

2. Which of the following is TRUE about mitochondrial diseases?

A．They pass down on to babies from their parents.

B．They prevent people’s heart from functioning normally.

C．Some children infected can be cured with proper treatment.

D．Babies can be infected with them through a donor’s egg.

3. How can a clinic or a patient be approved of applying the three-person baby technique?

A．Only when the baby to be born needs it to survive.

B．Only when the patient gets financially prepared.

C．Only when the clinic gets scientifically ready.

D．Only when the technique is ethnically accepted.

4. What is the author’s attitude towards the approval of babies made from three people?

A．Supportive

B．Indifferent

C．Worried

D．Objective
