　　When researchers made their first clone of an animal, Dolly the Sheep, in 1997, one doctor said, “The genie is out of the bottle.” But then he tried to actually create the “genie” by making a human clone.

　　Dr Panayiotis Zavos told the public on October 5 that he could create the first cloned human before the end of the year. He is an expert on human copying and breeding from the University of Kentucky in the United States.

　　His workers have been stopped from carrying out research in most European Union countries, but Zavos said that fact was not slowing progress.

　　“It is going well enough so we may try the first production of cloned embryos(胚胎) in the very near future. That is, three or four months from now.” Cypriot-born Zavos said. He moved to the United States over 30 years ago.

　　Human cloning could, in effect, create a copy of another living or dead person.

　　But Zavos insisted there was nothing harmful in the project. As an expert on human reproduction, he said he is only interested in helping couples who cannot naturally have babies to have a child.

　　“We are not interested in cloning people like Bin Laden, Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan,” the doctor added. “We are only interested in helping a father who does not have the ability to have a biological child of his own.”

　　Zavos said thousands of childless people from all over the world are helping in their research.

　　He would not say where the research is under way, but indicated that it is in more than one country.

Answer 1

答案：A;C;D;B
解析：

本文是科普性的新闻报道，介绍了克隆人研究的现状及前景。 　　1．A　　确认指代题。转折词But then表示he不怕genie，反而去创造genie，因而he就是指the doctor． 　　2．C　　细节题。He is an expert on human copying and breeding…一句说明“他”正在做研究克隆人的工作。 　　3．D　　细节题。答案可从…helping couples who cannot naturally have babies to have a child.一句中找出。 　　4．B　　推断题。最后一句说“他不愿意说此项研究在哪里进行(under way)，但表示该研究在不止一个国家继续进行”。
