2016-2017学年高考英语阅读理解解析汇编（123）
文章大意：这是一篇新闻报道，属记叙文体裁，介绍了阿根廷通过添加人类基因的方式培育出了“类人乳”牛。
5．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The importance of genetic engineering.
B．Ways to improve “mothers’ milk”．
C．A cloned cow to produce humanlike milk.
D．Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.
答案：C 主旨大意题。根据科技新闻报道的特点，在文章第一段就会出现文章主题句，即 Scientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce humanlike milk.即可得出正确结论，故选C。
6．Which of the following can be best replace “more closely resemble” in Paragraph 4?
A．have more varieties than
B．be more similar to
C．have more nutrition than
D．be more different from
答案：B 词义猜测题。第四段内容介绍了中国培育了加入一个人类基因的牛可以被认为 “humanlike”，那么阿根廷加入两个，足见是“更接近人乳”了，故选B。
7．What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner’s statements?
A．She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.
B．She considered it an honor to name the special cow.
C．She felt it improper to be named after the cow.
D．She refused to give a name to the cow out of selfrespect.
答案：A 推理判断题。女总统的话the scientific institute “makes all Argentines proud” 说明A 正确。B中说她认为给牛命名是一种荣耀，并未提及。最后一段，只要明确name和name after区别即可。be named after her 是以她的名字命名，而be named after the cow是以牛的名字命名；显然C是错误的，而D中give a name to the cow是给牛起名的意思，故D不对。
