friend's notes. Besides, the instructor's talking about road 31in ancient Rome, and nothing could be more boring. So
back you go into your private little world. Only later do you realize you've missed important information for a test.
Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many speakers 32facial cues and can tell if you're merely pretending
to listen. Your blank expression and the faraway look in your eyes are the cues that33your inattentiveness.
Even if you're not exposed, there's another reason to avoid fakery: It's easy for this34tobecome a habit. For some
people, the habit is so deeply rooted that they automatically start day dreaming when a speaker begins talking on
something35or uninteresting. As a result, they miss lots of valuable information.
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank
from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making
your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on
Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
It was 10 years ago, on a warm July night, that a newborn lamb took her first breath in a small shed
in Scotland. From the outside, she looked no different from thousands of other sheep born on 36farms. But Dolly, as
the world soon came to realize, was no 37lamb. She was cloned from a single cell of an adult female sheep,38long-
held scientific dogma that had declared such a thing biologically impossible.
A decade later, scientists are starting to come to grips with just how different Dolly was. Dozens of animals have
been cloned since that first lamb_mice, cats, cows and, most recently, a dog--and it's becoming 39clear that they are
all, in one way or another, defective.
It's 40to think of clones as perfect carbon copies of the original. It turns out, though, that there are various degrees
of genetic41. That may come as a shock to people who have paid thousands of dollars to clone a pet cat only to
discover that the baby cat looks and behaves 42liketheir beloved pet--with a different-color coat of fur, perhaps, or a
43different attitude toward its human hosts.
And these are just the obvious differences. Not only are clones 44from the original template(模板) by time, but
they are also the product of an unnatural molecular mechanism that turns out not to be very good at making
45copies. In fact, the process can embed small flaws in the genes of clones that scientists are only now discovering

Should Single-Sex Education Be Eliminated?
A)Why is a neuroscientist here debating single-sex schooling? Honestly, I had no fixed ideas on the topic when I
started researching it for my book, Pink Brain, Blue Brain. But any discussion of gender differences in children
