32、DNA to produce a clone. But the newborn kid died within minutes of birth due to breathing difficulties, signaling that the Jurassic Park dream of resurrecting extinct species is still some way off. The Pyrenean ibex, or bucardo, is a subspecies of the Spanish ibex that is believed to have died out

33、completely in 2000. Before the death of the last known individual (a 13yearold female known as Celia), biologists captured her and took cells from her skin and ears, which were frozen in liquid nitrogen(氮). An earlier cloning attempt using the skin cells failed during gestation. But the latest attem

34、pt involved the creation of 439 ibexgoat hybrid cloned embryos(胚胎). Of these cloned embryos,57 were transferred into surrogate mothers and seven resulted in pregnancies, but only one goat gave birth and the newborn clone died after seven minutes as a result of lung desease. Researchers say that oth

35、er cloned animals, including sheep, have been born with similar lung defects, but they say that overall the experiment was a major step forward in the effort to bring the ibex back to its mountain home. Says lead researcher Jose Folch: “The delivered kid was genetically identical to the bucardo. In

36、species such as bucardo, cloning is the only possibility to avoid its complete disappearance”． The failure to produce a viable clone from DNA that was frozen only a decade ago illustrates the difficulty researchers would face in trying to bring back species that have been extinct for decades, centu

37、ries, millennia, or epochs. Researchers have floated the idea of bringing back the Tasmanian Tiger, which went extinct in 1936, and others hope that woolly mammoths preserved in permafrost could one day be resurrected.Those efforts are still largely hypothetical. There are, however, other serious pr

38、oposals for cloning endangered animals, such as the giant panda, the African bongo antelope, the Sumatran tiger and the pygmy hippo. The methods advocates believe it offers hope of preserving the genetic diversity of these animals before they die out. 【語篇解讀】 科學(xué)家通過凍結(jié)的DNA成功地克隆了一只比利牛斯野生山羊。這 種野生山羊在200

A．Great advancement in cloning goats B．Difficulties in saving extinct animals C．Public concerns about

43、 cloning D．Cloning brought back an extinct species for a while 解析　主旨大意題。通讀全文，可知科學(xué)家們克隆了一只已經(jīng)滅絕的比利牛斯野生山羊，但這只羊在出生不久就死了，故D項(xiàng)最適合作文章標(biāo)題。 答案　D B We each have a unique genetic(基因的，遺傳的) makeup. Every cell of your body has the same set of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA.These are the instruction

44、s for producing a person. Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of several billion combinations of DNA which come from the random mixing of your parents genes. Except for identical twins(同卵雙胞胎), no one has the same combination as another perso

45、n. You are unique! You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life. These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make. But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your

46、 appearance and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70 births—some are identical and others are nonidentical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Nonidentical twins are more like

47、 ordinary brothers and sisters. Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. For example, we know that eye problems, l

48、ike shortsightedness, are mostly genetic.But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. Nonidentical twins in similar circumstan

49、ces have more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than nonidentical twins. Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are thrillseekers and get into risktaking and advent

50、urous activities.They take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this. We could ask，“Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing？” Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are i

51、mportant in making us who we are. 【語篇解讀】 本文主要介紹基因和生活經(jīng)歷對人的外貌、性格等的形成所起的作 用。 40. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A．We cannot easily change our physical appearance. B．How we turn out depends on our parents genes. C．Everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world. D．Both

52、our genes and our experiences make us who we are. 解析　主旨大意題。第一段主要介紹人的特殊性的兩個原因：一個是遺傳基因，一個是生活經(jīng)歷。 答案　D 41. Why are scientists studying twins? A．To find out how many twins are born every year. B．To discover what shapes us as individuals. C．To compare differences between twins. D．To study bro

53、therandsister relationships. 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一、二句可知，科學(xué)家正在研究雙胞胎，是為了弄清楚到底是遺傳基因還是生活經(jīng)歷在塑造人的外貌和性格上起著更重要的作用。 答案　B 42. According to the passage，________. A．one in 70 twins are genetically identical B．nonidentical twins are usually not of the same sex C．twins separated at birth behave exactly the

54、same D．identical twins are genetically the same 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Except for identical twins (同卵雙胞胎)，no one has the same combination as another person.”可知，同卵雙胞胎的基因是相同的。 答案　D 43. Which of the following is most affected by experience according the passage? A．Eating habits. B．Eyesight.

55、C．Pain resistance. D．Marriage patterns. 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences.”可知，應(yīng)選C。 答案　C C Have you seen Jurassic Park? In this film, scientists use DNA kept for tens of millions of years to clone dinosaurs. They find trouble, however, when they re

56、alize that the cloned creatures are smarter and more dangerous than expected.Thats nothing more than a fiction. But could we really clone endangered animals? To date, the most successful attempt to do so was the cloning of a gaur, a rare oxlike animal from southeast Asia.Scientists used a cow to b

57、ring the cloned baby gaur, named Noah. Two days after birth, however, Noah died from a common bacterial infection. Other endangered species that may be cloned include the African bongo antelope (邦戈羚羊), the Sumatran tiger, the cheetah (獵豹), and the giant panda. Next, could we really clone extinct an

58、imals? In theory? Yes. To do this, you need a wellkept source of DNA from the extinct animals such as wool mammoth (毛象), Tasmanian tiger, or even dinosaur, and a closely related species, still living, which could serve as a surrogate_mother. In reality? Probably not. On the one hand, its not likel

59、y that extinct animals DNA could survive undamaged for such a long time. Cloning extinct animals as wool mammoth, Tasmanian tiger, or dinosaur is much more difficult due to the lack of properly wellpreserved DNA.On the other hand, for example, a gaur can have a cow as a_surrogate_mother,_definitely

60、not a monkey. But what about an extinct animals as unique as the panda? What species could possibly serve as a surrogate mother? Cloning presents many exciting possibilities. However, even if extinct animals are brought back, they could not survive in todays world.Not only do most extinct animals h

61、ave no habitat to love in, but the other plants and animals they depended on for food may also be gone as well. 【語篇解讀】 我們可以克隆瀕臨滅絕的動物嗎？我們能克隆已經(jīng)滅絕的動物嗎？ 44．It can be learned from the text that________. A．the gaur is an extinct species B．the gaur lives in Asia and is endangered C．scientists have

A．a(chǎn)ll the extinct species may be cloned B．extinct species may be cloned and easily survive C．a(chǎn) gaur can have a monkey as a surrogate mother D．s

66、ome extinct species may be cloned, but not survive 解析　由even if extinct animals were brought back, they could not survive in todays world.(即使滅絕的動物能夠被克隆回來，他們也無法在現(xiàn)今的世界中存活)可知。 答案　D D The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals. The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats are safe to eat. An F．D.A.official called t
