18、tly. More importantly, cloning has a low success rate. It means that many cloned animals won t survive into adulthood, and some die before they are evenborn. This causes unnecessary suffering among animals and is opposed by animal rights supporters.While it would make it illegal to sell and import c
19、loned animals, the proposal says that (29) sale and import of food from the offspring (后代)of clones would be allowed since they are not considered to be the direct products of cloning.

35、them from reaching the surface of Earth.However, people weren t fully aware 0fmportance until 1985, when a huge hole in the layer was found over Antarctica.The 58 quickly pointed to a kind of chemical called chlorofluorocarbon, or CFC, which was widely used in refrigerators, air conditioners and hai
36、rsprays. CFCs are able to rise up to the stratosphere and cause reactions that destroy ozone. With a 59 ozone layer, people on Earth are more likely to develop skin cancer, cataracts （白内障）and other health problems due to too much UV light 60.As a result of this discovery, an international treaty （条约
37、）called the Montreal Protocol was signed in 1987 to 61 the manufacture of CFC products so that the ozone layer could slowly recover and return to its natural state by 2050.62, at a time when it seemed that everything was going back to 63, earlier thismonth scientists detected four new man-made gases

42、ur choices marked A, B,C or D.

Kennedy sat down, as a frontrunner for the Senate seat in New York, for a televised int
43、erview that helped decide the future of her campaign. The result was a disaster.Her performance wasn t well received, in part because her speech was full of filler words ums/ ahs and you knows.

They believe their audience will think they are inarticulate (不善 于表达)if they pause to think of what to say next, so they use filler words to avoid the silence.

Sometimes a pause can actually improve a speech, as when an actor uses a dramatic pause to hold the attention of his audience. A speaker shouldnt be afraid to pause occasionally during aspeech; it shows s

This pause will help you begin powerfully, and it will help you avoid using a filler word.The same public speaking technique ap

While you may be tempted to fill the silence between ideas with a filler word, remember to allow yourself to pause and think about what you want to say next.If you need help overcoming your um problem, consider asking a family member or a friend to point out whe
