问题     It was 10 years ago, on a warm July night, that a newborn lamb took her first breath in a small shed in Scotland. From the outside, she looked no different from thousands of other sheep born on【C1】______farms. But Dolly, as the world soon came to realize, was no【C2】______lamb. She was cloned from a single cell of an adult female sheep,【C3】______long-held scientific dogma that had declared such a thing biologically impossible.
    A decade later, scientists are starting to come to grips with just how different Dolly was. Dozens of animals have been cloned since that first lamb—mice, cats, cows and, most recently, a dog—and it’s becoming【C4】______clear that they are all, in one way or another, defective.
    It’s【C5】______to think of clones as perfect carbon copies of the original. It turns out, though, that there are various degrees of genetic【C6】______. That may come as a shock to people who have paid thousands of dollars to clone a pet cat only to discover that the baby cat looks and behaves【C7】______like their beloved pet—with a different-color coat of fur, perhaps, or a【C8】______different attitude toward its human hosts.
    And these art just the obvious differences. Not only are clones【C9】______from the original template(模板)by time, but they are also the product of an unnatural molecular mechanism that turns out not to be very good at making【C10】_______ copies. In fact, the process can embed small flaws in the genes of clones that scientists are only now discovering.
A)abstract I)nothing
B)completely J)ordinary
C)deserted K)overturning
D)duplication L)separated
E)everything M)surrounding
F)identical N)systematicaly
G)increasingly O)tempting
H)miniature
【C2】
选项
答案J
解析 空格前为no，后面为名词lamb，故应填入形容词。根据后文介绍，这是一只克隆羊，因此该句句意为：多莉羊并不是一只普通的羊，故选ordinary。在备选项中，其他形容词不符合上下文语义，故排除。
