A

Human cloning technology could be used to reserve heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.

With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. Couples go through physical and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.

We should be able to clone the bone marrow（骨髓） for children and adults suffering from leukemia（白血病）. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology. We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.

Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases. The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented （前所未有的）advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefit begin.

What does the underlined word “infertile” (paragraph 2) most probably mean?

A. with physical and emotional problems

B. short of time and money



C. unable to give birth to children

D. separated from each other for a long time



According to the text, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology is in ______.

A. the treatment of mental diseases

B. the reserve of heart diseases



C. the cure of gene-related diseases

D. the bearing of babies



According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that__________.

A. it has brought about benefits so far



B. it may be out of human control



C. people still know little about it



D. people are afraid of such technology





B

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.

The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression (萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wag
