The European Food Safety Authority has, so far, found no indication（25）______ food products, such as milk and meat, from cloned animals, are less safe than ones from normal animals. However, there are still economic and ethical (伦理的) concerns related to (26) ______(eat) cloned animals.

First of all, cloning is extremely costly. More importantly, cloning has a low success rate. It means that many cloned animals won‘t survive into adulthood, and some (28) ______ die before they are even born. This causes unnecessary suffering among animals and is opposed by animal rights supporters.
While it would make it illegal to sell and import cloned animals, the proposal says that (29) ______ sale and import of food from the offspring (后代) of clones would be allowed since they are not considered to be the direct products of cloning.

It is officially known as The Swiss Re Tower, or 30 St Mary Axe.

新课标2016年高三英语寒假作业10
第Ⅰ卷
第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The ruins of Moore, Oklahoma, a town destructed for the fourth time in 14 years by a major tornado（龙卷风）, are a reminder that current building codes(规范) can’t do much to prevent property destruction and loss of life, especially when a powerful tornado cuts through town. But the total death number can be reduced when people take shelter in underground storm bunkers（碉堡）and hardened safe rooms.
The tornado that carved a path of destruction through Moore took 24 lives. Its winds were clocked at 400 kilometers per hour. With only 15 minutes’ warning, residents fled town or took refuge（避难）in the firmest corners of their homes. The luckiest were able to climb into shelters or move to safe rooms.
In Moore those rooms saved lives. But at two schools destroyed by Monday's tornado, no such shelter was available. Leslie Chapman Henderson is CEO of a non-profit group called the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes. She's an advocate for tornado safe rooms.
“The safe room is an interior（内部）room of the home that has been reinforced（加固）and tested to withstand high wind. In fact, we’ve already heard of stories of survival of people who were in safe rooms, either above or below ground,” she said.
Better storm forecasts give people more time to react. But they need someplace safe to go. Buildings can be built to resist strong winds, but not like those in the F-5 tornado that touched down in Moore. Chapman Henderson says even the building codes that do exist are not widely adopted or enforced.
As its residents prepare to rebuild, Moore’s mayor is pushing for an order to
make safe rooms compulsory in all new construction. Similar proposals were made following each of the previous tornado strikes, but none were adopted.
25. According to Chapman Henderson, which of the following does she probably agree with?
A. Building codes make a difference in preventing property destruction.
B. If people take shelter in safe rooms, nobody will die.
C. It is urgent to build tornado safe rooms.D. Safe rooms can be built only underground.
26. What can we infer from the text?
A. Moore has gone through tornado 4 times in total. B. Chapman Henderson is Moore’s mayor.
C. Monday's tornado took 24 lives at two schools. D. The Moore’s proposal might not be approved.
27. The underlined word “withstand ” in paragraph 4 probably means________.
A. opposeB. resistC. preventD. defeat
B
Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten to fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day----which really is pretty much for handwriting.
Many adults remember learning that way----by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.
Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the
letters so they can be read. The other is fluency － writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.
But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75% of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.
１. We can infer from the first paragraph that ______.
A. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting.
B. most teachers attach importance to teaching handwriting.
C. handwriting teaching is not commonly required.
D. most teachers are at a loss how to teach handwriting
２. Which of the following about traditional handwriting in the USA is NOT true?
A. The students are taught by practicing a long period.
B. Printing is taught in preference to writing in cursive.
C. Handwriting is taught for its own sake.
D. Two skills get involved in handwriting.
３. Some American people consider handwriting not important any more because ______.
A. all the American children learn to print first
B. about 1/4 of the students choose to print their essay on the test
C. it is unnecessary to use handwriting in the age of keyboard
D. computers and voice recognition programs are widely used
４. ______ may serve as the best title for the passage.
A. Handwriting: fascinating in keyboard age
B. Right or wrong: the death of handwriting
C. Two skills involved in handwriting
D. Handwriting lessons on the way out
C
Everyone has some opinion about history, no matter how ill-informed. Walking through a parking lot in a university in Miami, I noticed a bumper sticker (车尾贴纸) that said, “Ruin a Liberal’s (自由派) Day—Recite Historical Fact!” But Marwick thinks this sort of opinion is just fine; it is unavoidable that we all feel a sense of ownership of history.
History never stands still, as Marwick says at the beginning of The Nature of History, “The shape and content of history, too, vary according to the methods and materials available to different generations.” Marwick’s goal is to explain, in plain language, the changes in the way history is done up to the present; one method is to connect history with advances in the physical sciences. Marwick examines a number of case studies toward the end of the book. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms (格言) about history. History truly belongs to each and every man and we all belong to history; with the proper education, history can be made more accessible to everyone.
Marwick relates how inventions and the physical sciences have driven historical changes. Dropping a ball in a vacuum will reveal the same properties (性质) each time the experiment is conducted, providing the conditions are the same. But historians obviously do not have the luxury of reproducing such conditions; historians view the past through the present which depends on invention and science.
By looking at the changing nature of history, Marwick feels the study progressing. Although Marwick suspects some people would accuse a historian of creating job security with the endless views of the past, he insists it is imperative based on the philosophy, science, and new materials of the age. History, according to Marwick, must be for everyone and not remain locked behind the walls of academia.
52. The author mentions the bumper sticker in order to ________.
A. show his own opinion about history
B. introduce the readers to Marwick
C. explain the freedom of understanding history
D. make the readers know about the argument between historians
53. Which of the following best describes the statement “History never stands still”?
A. Marwick explains the changes in the way history is done up to the present.
B. Marwick connects history with advances in the physical sciences.
C. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms about history.
D. The shape and content of history vary according to the methods and materials available.
54. In paragraph 3, Marwick gives the example of dropping a ball in a vacuum to prove ________.
A. the changeable nature of history
B. the difficulty of historical study
C. changeable ways of historical study
D. the difficulty of scientific study
55. The text is intended to ________.
A. state a historian’s ideas
B. argue against a historian
C. attract readers to study history
D. describe the story of a historian
D
A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smartphone. That doesn't mean making calls, but using apps and browsing the Web.
Spend that amount of time staring at anything. Checked our email in a restaurant, shared a picture of the food when it arrived, or checked a fact during a conversation only to be drawn into reading more instead of contributing verbally. It's no secret our lives are being affected by our obsession with smartphones.
