课时规范训练(单独成册) 训练(三十五) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节) 第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。 British MPs (国会议员) have voted in favour of the creation of babies with DNA from two women and one man,in a historic move.The UK is now set to become the first country to introduce laws to allow the creation of babies from three people.In a free vote in the Commons,382 MPs were in favour and 128 against the technique that stops genetic diseases being passed from mother to child.During the debate,ministers said the technique was “light at the end of a dark tunnel” for families. A further vote is required in the House of Lords.If everything goes ahead then the first such baby could be born next year.Supporters said it was “good news for progressive medicine” but critics say they will continue to fight against the technique that they say raises too many ethical (伦理的) and safety concerns.Estimates suggest 150 threeperson babies could be born each year. Prime Minister David Cameron said,“We’re not playing god here;we’re just making sure that two parents who want a healthy baby can have one.” The method,which was developed in Newcastle,should help women like Sharon Bernadi,from Sunderland,who lost all seven of her children to mitochondrial (线粒体的) disease.Ms Bernadi said she was “overwhelmed” by the decision. |
