听力原文：W: You read this？ A couple that couldn't have a baby cloned the husband, and the

wife is now in the family way!

M: Oh, you mean the wife is going to give birth to her husband？

W: Right. The child will be born in two months and the couple won't feel sad about having no children! How great!

M: But isn't that strange？ How could the father face another self! You see, they'll look exactly the same! And if they had decided to clone the wife, she'd be giving birth to herself!

W: Well, isn't it charming to live your own life again？ I think human cloning is beneficial in many ways, such as providing remedies for new incurable diseases, prolonging one's life, and so on.

M: That's very good, but what'll be the relationship between the parents and their cloned copy？ What responsibilities should people take for their own clone？ And what if the child falls in love with his own mother one day？ As I see it, human cloning is unethical and must be prohibited!

W: Well, maybe human cloning still has a long way to go, or, maybe, the couple would be better of adopting a child.

Who has the couple cloned？

A．The wife.

B．The husband.

C．The baby.

D．A sheep.

听力原文： Not many couples stay married for 50 years. Even fewer do so for 75 years. It's almost impossible for a couple to be married for 85 years. But that's exactly what Henry and Maggie Thurston did.

Henry was born on a farm in Iowa in 1857. At the age of 18 he went to Chicago to attend the university. There he met Maggie who had come from Cleveland to study art. She was one year younger.

This was a true case of love at first sight. They got married in 1876, less than six months after they met. In 1877 their first son, Jack, was born. By 1885 they had five children, including their third son, Lou, who became a well-known writer. From 1900 to 1915 Henry and Maggie became grandparents thirty one times.

On February 14th, 1961, they celebrated their 85th wedding anniversary. The day they had chosen for their wedding day had become Valentine's Day. Over one hundred newsmen came to report on the event. The couple was seen on national TV. Most amazing of all, though, was the fact that over 1,500 relatives were also present. The youngest was a three-week-old baby girl. Henry and Maggie were old. He was 104 and she was 103.

(30)

A．Maths.

B．Physics.

C．An.

D．Chemistry.
