单选题
Rome-Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is going in for cloning (克隆) the first human baby.
Dr. Severino Antinori, who is the head of a hospital in Rome, has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant (怀孕) with a cloned baby.
Antinori refused to comment on the reports, but he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo (卵) within two years. So far seven different kinds of mammals have already been successfully cloned, including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits.
Professor Rudolf Jaenisch said: "I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby. It is using humans as guinea pigs. It makes people feel sick." But Ronald Green, director of a College in the US, said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.
So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of them dying soon after their births.

【答案解析】语义理解题。本题考查第一段中go in for这个词组的意思。文章第一句提到罗马的医生和全世界的医疗组织都强烈抗议意大利专家克隆第一个人类婴儿的消息。由此推断，这位医生正在从事克隆的工作，因此选项B贴近文章意思。
A“弥补”；C“寻找”；D“赞同，有利于”，意思与上下文语境不符。

单选题
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】细节辨认题。本题考查对文章细节的把握。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句，从 Ronald Green说的话中可以看出，他怀疑这个已被孕育8周的克隆人是否能成功地出生。
A“Severino Antinori医生强烈反对克隆人类”，从文章第二段看出，他就是克隆人类的意大利医生所在医院的院长，且被指在阿拉伯报纸上声称他的一位病人已怀有克隆婴儿八周了，可见他并不反对克隆人类：B“到目前为止，包括绵羊、猫、人类和兔子在内的多种动物已经被克隆成功了”，从文章第三段最后一句话可知，已经被克隆的动物为绵羊，猫和最近被克隆的兔子，并不包括人类，且本文就是在讨论否要克隆人类，因此B)错误； C“Rudolf Jaenisch教授正在用一个八周大的克隆卵子做实验”，从文章倒数第二段看出， Rudolf Jaenisch反对克隆人类，所以不可能去做此类实验。
