5、roup to be able to resist new illnesses.,2. Why is it wrong to clone an extinct animal if it would have to live in a zoo?,It is not a good idea to clone an animal that would have to live in a zoo because it is not a suitable habitat to develop and increase its numbers. The zoo is not a natural envir

6、onment for a wild animal.,3. Why cant you clone the DNA of animals that have been extinct longer than 10,000 years?,The DNA of animals more than 10,000 years old is not suitable for cloning, for it cant survive so long.,The writer of the text_ A. is excited by the possibility of cloning fierce and e

7、xtinct animals B. believes that extinct animals can be brought back to life by cloning C. thinks it impossible or unsuitable to clone extinct animals like dinosaurs D. dreams of dinosaurs returning to the earth,主旨大意,2.

Which of the following is true? _ Mice were cloned in 1981. B. Dolly the sheep was the first cloned animal. C. The name of the cloned cow is “Bison” D. China

9、was successful in cloning mammals.,4. The reasons why a group of cloned animals all die of the same illness do NOT include_. A. they have the same arrangement of genes B. there isnt enough diversity in the group for it to overcome illnesses C. the illness is a new one D. their arrangement of genes c

10、an not resist that new disease,5. We can infer from the text that_ A. scientists are experimenting to clone dinosaurs B. dinosaurs will never return to the earth C. cloned animals will only live in the zoo D. the DNA of dinosaurs can only survive 10,000 year,推理判斷,True or false.,Scientists are still

11、experimenting with cloning mammals because they think it can make money. The animals that have disappeared from the earth, like dinosaurs, can be brought back to life through cloning. If we can clone any extinct animals, we should let them live in a zoo.,F,F,F,1. The popularity of the film Jurassic

12、Park, in which a scientist clones several different kinds of extinct dinosaurs, proves how interested ordinary people are in the subject.,長句難句,電影侏羅紀公園的歡迎證實了普通人對這一話題是多么感興趣,在該電影中一位科學家克隆了幾種不同的恐龍。 in which引導定語從句, how引導賓語從句。,2. From time to time people suggest that the animals that have disappeared from

13、the earth, like dinosaurs, can possibly be brought back to life through cloning. 人們時常設想從地球上消失的動物,例如恐 龍,有可能通過克隆技術使它們復活。,from time to time有時, 間或, 偶爾, = occasionally, now and then。,3. It is useless to clone an animal if there is not enough diversity in the group for it to overcome illnesses. 該群中如果沒有足夠的

14、多樣性使它克服疾 病,克隆動物就沒有用。,當動詞不定式、動名詞或從句作主語時, 通常把它們放在謂語之后, 而用it作句子的形式主語。,4. Diversity in a group means having animals with their genes arranged in different ways. 群中的多樣性指的是擁有 基因排列方式不同的動物。 with their genes arranged in different ways 作定語, in different ways 以不同的方式。,5. .but others will survive and pass on the

Choose one and use the information to help you argue why this animal should be restored to the earth.,Discussion,Great Auk (1844),Auroch (1627),Dodo bird (1755),Quagg

17、a (1883),A sample dialogue (P16),S1: I think the dodo bird should be returned to the earth. It hasnt been extinct very long. So its DNA will still be good enough for cloning. S2: Yes and sailors in the past always described the dodo as being a very friendly animal. So it would make a good pet. It wa

18、snt too large either.,I cant see any other extinct animals becoming a pet, can you? S1: No, indeed. 1 know its a bird like the Great Auk but neither of them could fly. So if you kept either, it wouldnt escape from a park, a family or its home in the wild. You could also farm a dodo, unlike all the o

19、thers, and produce many of them as exotic pets.,S2: And what about its large nutritious eggs? Just one would feed a large family. So theres more than one reason for producing it in commercial numbers. S1: Did you know that its meat is very tasty too! Perhaps it could be farmed like ostriches and pro

20、vide a good source of protein.,S2: The only problem is that it needs hot climate to survive. But thats easy to provide with all its other advantages. I dont think any of the other animals stands a chance against the dodo. S1: So we both agree that the best extinct animal to be cloned is the dodo bird. S2: Yes.,3. A sample report(p.17),The dodo is the most suitable animal to be cloned for severa
