| 第2题：Wilmut maintains that cloning animals has tremendous potential for helping people.Cloned Sheep, he says, could be used as living drug factories. Scientists could "engineer" sheep that produce drugs in their milk.And by altering the proteins on the surfaces of animal organs to make them more like human organs, scientists believe they may be able to create a plentiful source of organ donors for people. Why not clone humans as organ donors Theoretically, Wilmut says, there is no reason his techniques couldn’t someday be used to clone people. Think about the possibilities: a whole basketball team of Michael Jordans, a scientific panel ofAlbertEinsteins, a movie starring and co-starringBrad Pitts. On a more serious note, some experts argue that couples who have difficulty having a baby could make copies of themselves.And parents whose child has a fatal disease like cancer might be able to clone the child, creating a twin who could be a bone-marrow (骨髓) donor. But even Ian Wilmut draws the line at cloning humans. "All of us would find that offensive," he says. Several countries, includingBritain,Denmark, Germany andAustralia, have made all scientific work on cloning humans illegal. The U.S. has no such law, but PresidentClinton has set up a panel of scientists and philosophers to study the issue. In the meantime,Clinton has imposed a ban on using federal money to clone humans. Humans are more than the sum of their genes, argues a philosopher at one research institute. Though they look exactly the same, clones are not necessarily exact copies. The younger twin might grow up with different influences—say, unusual friends or special teachers. A、clonedAlbertEinstein might fail his physics class. A、cloned pop star might sing terribly. Say you were cloneD、Would your twin live a shorter life because he or she started out withDN A、that was already 10, 20 or 30 years old Scientists aren’t sure.And how could you prevent someone from taking a sample of your hair and making a clone of youAgain, no solutions. What do you think Should scientists be allowed to clone animals How about humans What is PresidentClinton’s reaction to cloning humans A、He made all scientific work on it illegal. B．He has set up a panel of scientists and philosophers to ban it. C．He ordered that federal funds should not be used to clone humans. D．He maintained thatBritain’s reaction is not proper. |

| 第4题：The Vikings have left many traces of their settlement which are still visible today.Archaeology provides physical evidence of their conquests, settlement and daily life. The study of place names and language shows the lasting effect which the Viking settlements had in theBritish Isles, andDN A、analysis provides some insights into the effect the Vikings had on the genetic stock of the countries where they settleD、All of this provides valuable information, but the only reason that we have an idea of the "Vikings" as a people is their appearance in the written sources. Unfortunately, the value of the written evidence is limiteD、Not a lot of evidence survives, and much of what we have is either uninformative or unreliable. Many popular ideas about Vikings are nineteenth-century inventions. Others are the result of early historians accepting sources which modern scholars now regard as completely unreliable. In Scandinavia the VikingAge is regarded as part of prehistory because there are practically no contemporary written sources.Even in westernEurope, the VikingAge is often seen as part of the "DarkAges", from which comparatively few historical records have surviveD、 Surviving accounts of Viking activity were almost exclusively written by clergymen (神职人员). These monastic chronicles (编年史) outline broadly what happened, at what date. There are also sources of a more directly religious nature, such as the much-quoted letters ofAlcuin, and Wulfstan’s famous "Sermon of the Wolf ", both of which chose to interpret the Viking raids as God’s punishment on theAnglo-Saxons for their sins.Even the chronicles reflect the fact that the Vikings often attacked monasteries for their wealth, which created an obvious bias against them, and the hostile tone of these contemporary accounts has done much to create the popular image of Viking atrocities. However, modern historians have noted that the same sources showChristian rulers behaving equally unpleasantly, but without being condemned on religious grounds. We tend to think of the Vikings as a race of Scandinavian warriors, but the reality is more complex. Raids on theBritish Isles and the coasts of France and Spain were the work of Vikings from Norway andDenmark. The word Viking means one who lurks in a "vik" or bay, in effect, a pirate. The word "Viking" has come to describe a whole new age inEurope between about 800 and 1150. This is despite the fact that Vikings were not just pirates and warriors but also traders and colonists.But at the start of the VikingAge in the last decade of the 8th century, loot and adventure were the main goals of the Norwegians who raided in Scotland and Ireland and of theDanes who attackedEnglanD、Gold and silver treasures accumulated by the great monasteries could be converted into personal wealth and thus power, and captives could be sold as slaves.
