33、lions 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 cows and a cat. They just might succeed in cloning Missy soon or perhaps not for another five years. Westhusins experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by
34、all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dogs eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missys DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate（代孕的）mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously
35、aborted(流产，发育不全 ) fetuses（胎） may be acceptable when youre 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
36、 in 1997, Westhusins phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,” says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missys mysterious billionaire owner; hes put up $3.7 million

The prototype（原型；雏形） is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and supersmart. Missys master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows
38、 her clone may not have her temperament（气质、性情） . In a statement of purpose, Missys owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.” Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs. nu
39、rture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals. However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities l

A study the possibility of cloning humans B search for ways to modify its temperament C find out the differences between Missy and its clones D examine the reproductive system of the dog species 【小题 4】 We learn from the pass

44、But could he have ever imagined how much the web would change our lives And would he approve of how some British students are taking advantage of his invention Universities and exam boards around the UK are becoming increasingly concerned with the rising number of cases of plagiarism, many of which
45、are facilitated (助长 ) by the Internet access. In the UK most school and university students complete coursework throughout the academic year which contributes toward their final mark. In many cases coursework makes up the main part of the qualification. Since coursework is completed in the students

Derec Stockley, director of examinations in the UK, explains, “Plagiarism affects coursework more than anything else, and in the cases that come to our attention, more and more are linked to the Internet.” At a university level
47、recent reports suggest that plagiarism has evolved from separate cases of individual cheating to systematic and even commercial operation. Students can now pay for bespoke essays to be written for them by experts. It is estimated that the market in online plagiarism is now worth 200 million pounds a
48、 year. Every month more and more websites offering to write students essays for them appear on the Internet. Barclay Littlewood, owner of Degree Essays UK employs 3,500 specialist writers and charges between 120 pounds and 4,000 pounds per essay. However, Mr. Littlewood refutes the accusation that he is helping students to cheat. 【小题 1】 What dose the underlined word “plagiarism” in Paragraph 2 mean in the passage A problems of the Internet B chea
