英语高考预测试卷 第二局部：阅读理解 （共两节，总分值40分） A PeterOnruang,aHollywoodbusinessman,haspaid$310,000toclonehisbestfriend Wolfie, a lovely dog.He said, “Wolfiewasmore than just a pet to me.”Wolfie died two years ago, at the age of 15. But long before she and her sister Bubble passed away, Onruang had plans to bring them back to life. Onruang said, “I buried them at home. Each time I visit them, I say, ‘Hi, I’m making a new body for you.’” Finally, Onruang found the South Korean biotechnology company RNL Bio,which can and will clone animals. Onruang collected his dogs’ stem cells (干细胞), and then he started a website MyFriendA, so he could earn and save the $310,000 that the cloning would cost. The new dogs should look identical (完全相同的) to Wolfie and Bubble.

I have already known exactly my strengths and weaknesses. This person is going to be the new and improved me, and will live the life I’ve always wanted to live.” 21.
