长难句分析
①Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment—although no one had proposed to do so—and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.
该句的主干是...he ordered that...and asked...to report...。第一个逗号前是declaring that...分词结构做伴随状语,其中that引导宾语从句;在第一个谓语ordered之后也是that引导的宾语从句,这个从句用了虚拟语气,在谓语动词not be used 前面省略了should;破折号之间是although引导的让步从句做插入语,是对主句前一个分句行为的补充说明;and后的一个分句是由动词短语ask sb to do sth构成的句式。其中chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro过去分词短语作定语修饰名词independent panel of experts。
知识点补充:be opposed to意为“反对”,其中的to是介词,后面的宾语只能是名词或动名词;animal husbandry意为“畜牧学;畜牧业”。
②NBAC will ask that Clintons 90day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made law.
该句主干是NBAC...ask that...and that...。谓语ask后的两个并列宾语从句都用了虚拟语气的谓语形式,即谓语用动词原形be,省略了should。
③The panel has not yet reached agreement on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private funding to be used for human cloning.
[分析] 本题考核的知识点是:具体细节题。难度:0.73
文章第四段第一句话明确指出the myth of controlling the waters persists,因此可知该神话就是指D选项的内容。A选项与第三段第二句提到的埃及的阿斯旺水坝使之失去沃土的内容相反。文中只提到建坝是为了证实自己的实力:a symbol of achievement(第二段)和bidding for independence... needs a dam to prove itself(第四段),而未提到是为了保卫国家或加强国际关系,因此B、C选项不对。
4.What the author tries to suggest may best be interpreted as.
4.作者想通过本文说明的道理是。
[A] "Its no use crying over spilt milk"
[A] 覆水难收，后悔是没用的
[B] "More haste, less speed"
[B] 欲速则不达
[C] "Look before you leap"
[C] 三思而行
[D] "He who laughs last laughs best"
[D] 谁笑到最后，谁笑得最好
题目解答
答案
[答案] C
[分析] 本题考核的知识点是:文章主旨题。难度:0.74
文章中作者的态度非常明确。全文都围绕建坝的盲目性而展开论说;最后一段,作者更是直接指出:应该对大坝的影响做出正确的、科学的评估,放弃大坝的神话,吸取阿斯旺水坝的教训。因而可以推知,作者是在呼吁切忌盲目行动。只有C选项与作者提出的建议吻合,其他选项都不能正确反映作者观点。
解析
考查要点：本题为主旨题，要求根据文章内容推断作者意图。
解题核心：需结合文章整体结构和作者态度，重点关注最后一段的建议性表述。
破题关键：文章反复强调阿斯旺水坝的负面影响，指出“控制水域”的神话不可持续，并呼吁科学评估大坝影响，避免重蹈覆辙。选项需与作者提出的“切忌盲目行动”建议一致。
选项分析
A. 覆水难收：文中未提及对错误行为的后悔，与文章主旨无关。
B. 欲速则不达：文章强调的是盲目行动的后果，而非速度与效率的关系。
C. 三思而行：与文章最后一段“科学评估、避免盲目行动”的建议高度契合。
D. 笑到最后者笑得最好：文中未涉及长期结果的比较，与文章内容无关。
结论：C选项最能体现作者反对盲目追求工程象征意义、主张科学决策的观点。
