答案D
解析 语义衔接题。本段首句提到克隆动物在美国已相当普遍，因此对于克隆动物是否可以安全使用的裁定必将直接影响到美国，因此本题应选affect意为"影响"。affect，touch，influence，impress这些动词都表示产生心理或情感上的影响。affect是指作用于人的感情，如：The adverse criticism the book received didn’t affect the author one way or another．对这本书的敌对性评论丝毫没有影响该作家。touch通常指激起一种温柔的反应，例如爱、感激或激情，如：The tributes to the two deceased musicians were fitting and touching．献给两位已故音乐家的颂辞恰如其分，感人至深。move暗指深刻的情感效果，有时导致行动或具有进一步后果，如：The account of her experiences as a refugee moved us to tears．她的难民经历感动得我们热泪盈眶。impress是指产生一种显著的、深刻的，通常是持久的效果：The Tibetan landscape particularly impressed him．西藏的风光给他留下了非同寻常的印象。
