2019高考英语二轮阅读理解讲与练（解析）-网络的发展与问题（1）
In a mouse that can speak acceptable? How about a dog with human hands or feet? Scientists, the people that know how to make such things happen, are now thinking about whether such experiments are morally right or not.
On November 10, Britain’s Academy of Medical Sciences launched a study on the use of animals with human materials in scientific research.
The work is expected to take at least a year, but its leaders hope it will lead to guidelines for scientists in Britain and around the world on how far they can go mixing human genes into animals in search of ways to fight human disease.
“Do these constructs challenge our idea what it is to be  human?” asked Martain Borow, a professor of medical genetics at Cambridge University and chair of a 14－member group looking into the disease.“It is important that we consider these questions now so that appropriate boundaries are recognized and research is able to fulfill its potential.”
Using human materials in animals is not new. Scientists have already created monkeys that have a human form of the Huntingdon’s gene so they can study how the disease develops; and mice with livers made with human cells are being used to study the effects of new drugs.”
However, scientists say the technology of putting ever greater amounts of human genetic materials into  animals is  spreading quickly around the world, raising the possibility that some scientists in some places may  want to go further than is morally acceptable.
“There is a whole raft of new scientific techniques that will make it not only easier but also more important to be able to do these cross－species experiments,” Borow said.
Last year, there was a lively debate over new laws allowing the creation of human －animal embryos foe experiments.
On one side of the debate were religious groups, who claimed that such science interferes with nature. Opposing －them－ were scientists who pointed out that such experiments were vital to the research on cures for diseases.
Borow said he and his colleagues did not want to see such arguments again and are acting now so that they can influence such debate rather than have to react to it.
react to的意思The experts will publish reports after the end of the study in which they give definitions for animal embryos with human genes or cells, look at safety and animal welfare issues, and consider the right legal framework to work within.
Scientists are concerned about＿.
how to place human genes in animals
how far they should go with experiments on animals with human genes
Whether such experiments will help cure human disease
Whether to make such experiments legal
The purpose of the study launched by Britain’s Academy of Medical Sciences is to－.
search for new ways to fight human disease
study the effects of new drugs
react positively to an ongoing moral debate
draw the proper boundaries for scientists
The underlined word “them”in the ninth paragraph refers to ＿.
A. religious groups  B. scientists   
C. cross－species experiments  D. human－animal embryos
4. The text tells us about＿.
A. the first time scientists have used human genetic material in animals
B. British laws to ban cross－species gene mixing
C. a debate on the morality of some gene experiments
D. the clear guidelines that now exist for adding human genes to animal embryos

解析：1.选B. 逻辑推理题.根据文章第一段旳Scientists, the people that know how to make such things happen, are now thinking about whether such experiments are morally right or not.和第三段旳内容综合判断，科学家们关心旳是对植入人类基因旳动物进行实验是否符合伦理道德，即这样旳实验能够进行到什么程度，所以答案为B.  2. 选D. 细节判断题.从文中第三段旳its leaders hope it will lead to guidelines for scientists in Britain and around the world on how far they can go mixing human genes into animals in search of ways to fight human disease.可知，这个研究旳目旳在于让科学家认识这些实验能够进行到什么程度，为他们划定界限，所以选D.  3. 选A. 词义猜测提. 从第九段可知，辩论一方为religious groups，他们反对此类实验；而辩论旳另一方为Scientists，他们认为此类实验是必要旳.由此可知，Scientists反对旳是religious groups.
选C. 主旨大意题.本文至始至终介绍旳是科学家将人类基因运用于动物进行实验后产生了一系列道德和伦理方面可行性旳辩论，C具有高度旳概括性和很强旳针对性，为正确答案.

In a recent announcement, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) said that they have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online learners worldwide.
Beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new S 60 million program, known as edX. "Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses," Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan.
