2. 打電話給恃強欺弱者的父母________。
[A] (這種做法)長期存在但內(nèi)容有了改變 [B] 經(jīng)常是通過仔細考慮后才做
[C] 常常導致責備和誤解 [D] 被用來警告這個孩子不要再做
[精解] 答案C本題考查事實細節(jié)。第一段提到，打電話給恃強欺弱者的父母的做法自有電話以來就長期存在了。第二段首句提到，這樣的電話不計其數(shù)，但談話內(nèi)容卻一樣。由此排除[A]項。第二段第二句提到，沖動的父母抓起電話，大聲抱怨。排除[B]項。第二段末句提到，這樣的電話常常只導致責備;第四段第二句提到，專家指出它可能會被誤解，使對方勃然大怒。由此可知[C]項正確。[D]項未提。
3. 根據(jù)美國的調(diào)查表明，______。
[A] 成人中的恃強欺弱現(xiàn)象也在增加 [B] 父母沒有很好地看管他們的孩子
[C] 父母很少相信恃強欺弱者 [D] 大部分父母打電話解決恃強欺弱問題
[精解] 答案B本題考查事實細節(jié)。第二段第三句提到，研究表明恃強欺弱現(xiàn)象增加，父母看管減少，因此[B]項正確，[A]項無從得知。第三段最后用數(shù)據(jù)說明，父母很少相信自己的孩子會恃強欺弱。[C]項換成了不相信恃強欺弱者本身，錯誤。第四段首句提到，研究表明5%的父母支持找家長解決恃強欺弱問題。[D]項錯在most(大部分)，與事實不符。
4. 當恃強欺弱問題發(fā)生時，父母應該_______。
[A] 幫助恃強欺弱的孩子改掉殘忍的行為 [B] 求助調(diào)停者的幫助
[C] 避免變得太過自我保護 [D] 抵擋打電話的誘惑
[精解] 答案B本題考查作者觀點。第三段首句提到，受欺負的孩子的家長打電話是希望對方家長能改正其孩子恃強欺弱的毛病�？梢�，[A]項并不是作者的觀點。第五段首句提到，接到電話的家長不要自我保護。第六段提到，如果你想撥電話，一定要忍住誘惑。顯然[C]和[D]項是分別針對“接到電話”和“打電話”的家長而言的。只有[B]項在第四段提到，是教育者對雙方家長給出的建議，因此也是作者同意的觀點。
5. 勞拉•麥休許諾讓受到欺負的孩子做疾病測試是因為_________。
[A] 她兒子承認他錯了 [B] 她害怕惹怒男孩的家長
[C] 他可能會被這些疾病感染 [D] 她想給兒子一個教訓
[精解] 答案D本題考查第五段的細節(jié)。該段舉例說明應如何正確對待一位憤怒的家長的電話。該段倒數(shù)第三句提到，麥休許諾讓受欺負的孩子做疾病測試，不僅讓其母親平靜下來，也讓自己的兒子知道父母是非常嚴肅地對待他的惡劣行為。由此可知[D]項正確。

“I've never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It's a stupid endeavor.” That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year—or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.
Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.
Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin's phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy's mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. He's plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missys fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”
The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin's work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when were not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?” [397 words]
