There are always been some heated debates when it comes to medical cloning. Different people hold different attitudes towards the topic, some in favor of it while some strongly against it.

Peter Smith: “I suggest that medical cloning is very important for curing serious illnesses that at present have no cure; for example, to replace nerve cells(神经细胞) in someone who has suffered a

stroke(中风). Most profitably, medical cloning can be used to help with diseases that gradually cause people to lose their ability to move or to think ( such as Parkinson’s Disease). With the help of special cloning techniques, such people can be restored to perfect health and be able to live a normal life again. This is a wonderful thing for human beings because it improves our quality of life. As we can see, the benefits are very obvious. ”

Louis Armstrong: “ Medical cloning is far more complicated than what some people claim to be. First of all, where do these stem cells(干细胞) come from? Well, from human cells of course. If you believe that human life comes into existence as soon as the cells begin to grow, then the practice of removing an embryo(胚胎) kills it. This embryo, if it was allowed to continue to grow and develop, would eventually become another human being. So by using stem cells to save one person, we are actually killing another. Is it morally justified(正当的)? I feel that the answer must be NO. Not to mention the uncertain risk and danger. ”

Indeed, at the moment medical cloning research is a very new science. It has been proved successful in cloning some animals ---- but not all. There still exist a lot of unsolved problems in animal cloning. And the problems for human cloning will be even more serious as no human has yet been cloned. It is much more reasonable that we must be cautious about medical cloning until all these problems are settled. 21. What is Louis Armstrong’s attitude to medical cloning?

A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Opposed. D. Unclear. 22. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

A. The author supports the idea that we should carry out medical cloning immediately. B. The author tends to be against Louis Armstrong’s point of view. C. The author disagrees that there should be medical cloning. D. The author criticizes both Peter’s and Louis’s idea.

23. How does medical cloning benefit human beings as far as Peter Smith is concerned?

A. Medical cloning can cure all kinds of illnesses including Parkinson’s Disease. B. Medical cloning can prevent people from getting diseases. C. Medical cloning can make human beings perfect and healthy.

D. Medical cloning can help people with some serious diseases to restore health.

In 1452 one of the greatest painters and inventors, Leonardo da Vinci, was born. His family was very poor and he grew up in the Italian countryside. But his drawing ability allowed him to study under the famous painter from Florence, called Verrocchio. Leonardo gradually learned the skills needed to be a great artist and by the 1480s he had begun to produce paintings of his own. Unfortunately, at this time painting did not always provide a steady income, so the young Leonardo developed his drawing skills to earn money in other ways. He learned to design whatever his employer wanted: cities, canals, bridges or weapons.

Leonardo became interested in machines when he was a boy. Some of his early drawings showed clearly how various machine parts worked. While he was studying under Verrocchio, Leonardo observed and used
