It’s a white Christmas in the United States today, with snow falling from Seattle to Maine. ? Northeast
Biting winds with snow swept the Northeast.
Earlier, up to 15 inches of snow fell during a snow storm in Maine, while up to one foot fell in New Hampshire. Winds reached 76 mph on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, while up to 61 mph winds tore through Long Island, New Yor. Falling snow collected on the runways at Boston’s Logan International Airport, causing temporary flight delays.
The wind was so severe in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that the annual (重演) of George Washington and his soldiers’crossing the Delaware River was canceled, the Washington Crossing Historic Par told ABC News.
? Midwest
Heavy lae effect snow fell in western Michigan.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind-chill warning and advisory (公告) from Montana to Michigan. Bitter cold air in the Midwest produced wind chills Monday morning as low as minus 48 degrees in North Daota and minus 47 in northern Minnesota.
As this bitter cold made its way east overnight, it was epected to move over relatively mild Great Laes, producing intense lae-effect snow bands capable of producing 2 to 4 inches of snow in an hour.

That storm system moved overnight through the Rocies, bringing more snow and the threat of avalanches(雪崩). The National Weather Service has issued an avalanche warning for the Wasatch Range Mountains outside Salt Lae City.

B
Every pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here.
But when we ased our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals, the responses were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would lone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.
Clearly, from readers’ response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speas, as well, to people’s widely differing epectations over the developing scientific procedure.
Most of the respondents who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an eact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope a clone could never truly recreate a pet, many simply didn’t wish to go against the natural law of life and death.
Both sides epressed equal love for their animals. More than a few respondents owned “the dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend”, ‘‘a member of the family,” “the light of my life.” They told moving stories of pets’ heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.
Little wonders the loss is so disturbing---and the cloning so attractive. “People become very lose to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary owalsi, author of Goodbye, Friend Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels lie an attempt to turn death away... It’s understandable. Death is always painful. It’s difficult to deal with. It’s hard to accept.”
But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this problem. 24. So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, . A. a lot more of them are for it B. a lot more of them are against it
C. very few of them are willing to tell their opinions D. about half of them are for it and the other half against it
25. While taling about the respondents from the readers, the epression “eventual sadness of owning a pet” refers to . A. the troubles one has to deal with in eeping a pet B. the high cost of owning a pet C. the death of one’s pet
D. the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet
26. From what Gary owalsi says, we can now that he . A. has never thought about the problem of cloning B. is in favor of the idea of cloning pets C. is going to write another boo on pets D. is all against the cloning of pets
27. What is the ey question at the heart of the problem of cloning pets?
A. Can cloning mae the pain one suffers less when a pet dies? B. Can pet owners afford the cost of cloning? C. Does cloning go against the law of nature?
D. How reliably does cloning produce an eact copy of one’s pet? 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A
【解析】本文是一篇议论文，文中对宠物的克隆发起一份调查问卷。问卷显示：虽然人们对宠物有一样的爱心，但是否愿意克隆宠物，受访者表达了不同的观点看法。
24. 细节理解题。根据第二段最后的Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would lone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion可知，228个受访者人当中，108人表示赞成克隆，111人表示反对克隆。可知，几乎一半的人是赞成，一半的人是反对，故选D。
25. 词义猜测题。根据第三段中both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet，关键词both...and…，可知，养宠物最终的悲伤就是宠物的死亡，给养宠物者所带的伤害。A项意为：人们
