25、ter “not at all likely”. The respondents were slightly more favourable(乐于接受的) when asked the same question about the offspring of cloned animals.In the US，the hormone(激素)rBST is given to cows to increase milk production. In the EU and a number of other places such hormone treatment is banned. But ev

26、en in the US, milk and meat is often labelled (贴标签)as rBST hormone free.The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)is not requiring labelling for meat from cloned animals or offspring of clones because its position is that there is no scientific difference between that and noncloned meat. It has said

27、it will permit voluntary labelling.And despite the scientific evidence it gave, there are still plenty of critics against its position on cloned meat. After the 2008 guidance was published, Senator Barbara Mikulski said：“The FDA has acted recklessly and I am very disappointed in their rush to allow

28、cloned foods. Just because something created in a lab doesnt mean we should have to eat it. If we discover a problem with cloned food after it is in our food supply and its not labelled，the FDA wont be able to recall it.”文章大意：本文讲述了在美国人们对待克隆食品的态度以及存在的种种争议。56Whats the aim of the International Food Inf

You can send a letter or pick up the phone and make a call. But

43、today, one of the most popular ways to communicate is called instant messaging(IM). In any instant messaging system, you type a little text message on your computer, press the “Send” button, and your message instantly shows up on your friends screen. But how does it work?Actually, the whole process

44、is very cool. In the 1980s, you could sit down at a computer at any big university. Up to 100 people would be logged in and share the computer because these computers were very expensive. You could type a command to send an instant message to anyone logged in the same computer. It felt like everyone

45、 was connected together no matter where they were sitting.Today, you can communicate with anyone in the world. All you need is an instant messaging program installed on your computer. There are many programs to choose from. AOLs instant messenger is probably the most popular right now. MSN has one.

46、Google has Google Talk.When youre ready, you create an account. Next, you need to figure out the IM names your friends use. Add their IM names to your IM program. Click on the friend you want to talk to and then type away. When you click “Send”， your friend gets the message instantly.But behind the

47、scenes, amazing things are happening. Your IM program is communicating with a computer, called a server，which could be just down the road or even in some other city.All your friends computers are communicating with a server，too. Your computer is constantly chatting with it to make everything happen.

48、 The network called the Internet makes it all possible.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了目前网上最流行的交流方式即时通信。64What could be the best title for the passage?ADifferent Ways of CommunicationBThe Easiest Way to Talk to a friendCHow to Send Instant MessagesDDevelopment of Communication答案：C主旨大意题。根据第一段的后两句及整篇文章内容可知，该文介绍的是如

49、何发送即时消息，所以选C项为标题最合适。65Why did so many people share a computer in the 1980s?ABecause they wanted to be connected to each other.BBecause few people could afford to buy computers.CBecause few people knew how to use computers.DBecause computers at that time were too large.答案：B细节理解题。根据第二段的第三句“Up to 100 p

50、eople would be logged in and share the computer because these computers were very expensive.”可知，一百多个人使用一台电脑是因为电脑太贵，很少有人买得起。66The underlined “it ”in the last paragraph most probably refers to“_”A. a server B. an IM programC. a computer D. the Internet答案：A代词指代题。根据文中的“ Your IM program is communicating

51、with a computer, called a server”以及“All your friends computers are communicating with a server，too. ”可知，此处的it指的就是前面提到的a server。67What plays the most important role in sending instant messages?A. Your computer.B. Your friends computer.C. Your server.D. The Internet.答案：D细节理解题。根据文章的最后一句“The network cal

52、led the Internet makes it all possible.”可知，因特网使这一切成为了可能，因特网在发送即时信息中发挥了重要的作用。DWhere we live, on the Eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and the ducks. In the autumn, they come here for th

53、e winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Sudden

54、ly she leaned forward and cried out, “there is a goose out there.”We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very still, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.Then from the dark skies, she saw a line of swans. They flew from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on

55、 the ice. My friend was on her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared that life he still had might be pecked(啄)out by those great swan bills.Instead, those bills began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the gooses head lifted. Its body was pulled. Then the goose was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if he had cried, “I cannot fly，” four of the swans came down around him
