Recently,     1    (我们班就是否应该开发克隆技术进行了讨论). Different people hold different opinions.

    2    (一些学生持赞同克隆), thinking it is beneficial to human beings.     3    (首先，它有助于保护各种物种，尤其是珍稀、濒危物种). Hopefully, the future generation will see as many species as we can today. Second, it is good for medical research and can help solve many difficult problems.

    4    (另一方面，其他学生认为它弊大于利). From their point of view, if human beings go against nature, we will suffer a lot. And they worry that it may be used inappropriately.

As a     1     to farmers’ poor harvests and even a severe     2     of food, Yuan Longping was determined to devote his life to     3     this crisis. After     4    , he realised that what farmers needed most was to boost     5     in the fields. Yuan was     6     that the answer lay in the creation of hybrid rice, one     7     of which is that it usually achieves higher output than     8     crops. However, it was no easy job. The first difficulty he needed to overcome was scientists’ general     9     that this could not be done. Through intense effort, Yuan managed to     10     this incredible crop. It is     11     that about 60 percent of domestic rice     12     in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains. His     13     has enabled Chinese farmers to considerably expand their output and helped feed the world. Unwilling to retire early to a life of     14     and unconcerned about celebrity or fortune, Yuan continued to turn one vision after another into     15    .

We had just moved into a new house and I had been working hard to get my new room in order. This had not been easy because I owned over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, but     1    (一个好主意已经被我想到) that I could store the content of my not-so-important books in my computer.     2    (在确认它们已经完全被存进电脑之后), I will sell them as second-hand books online which can reduce the coverage of books in my room. As all the stuff     3    (已经被处理妥当), I will invite my friends to my new house and have a party. I can imagine how they will reflect when they find the disappearance of some books, asking     4    (它们怎样被处理了). “    5    (已经被吞进电脑的肚子里了).” I will say jokingly.
