【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中,選出最佳選項。 Mayor Boris Johnson Monday outlined plans to make London “the cleanest,greenest city on Earth” by the 2012 Olympics and called for commitments from other world cities at a climate change conference.Leaders of the world’s 40 largest cities are meeting in Seoul this week for a summit on combating global warming — the third to be held since 2005.
“What we should do in Seoul is agree that we will stop the endless addiction of mankind to the internal combustion engine (內(nèi)燃機),”said Johnson.He said at a press conference the world’s cities consume 75 percent of the world’s energy and produce 80 percent of the emissions which cause climate change.“The problem of our planet is an urban problem,” Johnson said.
He said the British capital wants to use the Olympics “to drive the greening and the improvement of our city” and noted that London is committed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025.
Johnson said the key measure was being taken to solve problems relating to housing and commercial buildings,which accounted for 70 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in London.This involved retrofitting (翻新)—installing lagging—in large numbers of public buildings.
Johnson proclaimed himself a“passionate cyclist”and said he would push ahead with cycle superhighways around London.
London’s air quality problem,he said,was caused by vehicle emissions from 8,300 worn and used diesel (柴油) buses,which could be replaced by low-carbon vehicles.In addition,there were also 32,000 taxis running on diesel fuel,which could be replaced by electric vehicles.
Johnson said there would be a few programs in the next few years to produce a “cleaner,greener” bus for the city.“The age of the diesel bus has got to be over in London.”

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。 With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克。 the animal and save the endangered species. That’s a move similar to what a Texas A& M University researcher has been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct over the next 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植)of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy(having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are cert ainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the lead ers of the Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
(1)The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to ______.
A.make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B.save endangered animals from dying out
C.collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D.transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
(2)According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of ______.
A.available panda eggs
B.host animals
C.qualified researchers
D.enough money
(3)The best title for the passage may be ______.
A.China’s Success in Pandas Cloning
B.The First Cloned Panda in the World
C.Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D.China—the Native Place of Pandas Forever
(4)From the passage we know that ______.
A.Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B.scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit
C.Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D.about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century
