Buried with him were th
21、e tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two
22、pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal. His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold ear
23、rings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge. Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300
24、 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct
25、 Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries. He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.56. Whic
26、h are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man? A. Tools, a bone pin, a bow and a cushion stone B. A copper knife and two gold earrings. C.

28、construction of Stonehenge. D. All of the above.59. We can infer that _ . A. how Stonehenge was built B. the King of Stonehenge was from France C. Stonehenge was built through several ages D. Stonehenge was built because of war参考答案 DCDC *结束BIn Jurassic Park, DNA was used to clone dinosaurs, which wa
29、s kept for tens of millions of years. The scientists find trouble, however, when they realize 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
30、 cloning of a gaur, a rare ox-like animal from southeast Asia. Scientists used a cow to bring 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 Sumat
31、ran tiger, the cheetah (猎豹), and the giant panda. Next, could we really clone extinct animals? In theory? Yes. To do this, you need a well-kept 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 coul
32、d serve as a surrogate mother. In reality? Probably not. On the one hand, its not likely 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 well-preserved DNA.
33、 On the other hand, for example, a gaur can have a cow as a surrogate mother, definitely 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
34、 brought back, they could not survive in todays world. Not only do most extinct animals have no habitat to live in, but the other plants and animals they depended on for food may also be gone as well.60. It can be learned from the text that _.A. scientists have cloned the African bongo antelopeB. bo
35、th the cheetah and the giant panda live in AsiaC. the gaur lives in Asia and is endangered D. the gaur is an extinct species61. The underlined words a surrogate mother probably refer to a female who _.A. contributes its eggs to another female B. gives birth to a baby for another femaleC. gives birth
36、 to a baby of its own D. cannot give birth to a baby62. The difficulty in cloning an extinct species is the lack of _. A. both the well-preserved DNA and plants to live on B. both the habitat to live in and the well-preserved DNA C. both habitat to live in and plants to live on D. both the well-pres
37、erved DNA and a surrogate mother63. In the authors opinion, it is possible that _. A. some extinct species may be cloned, but not survive B. extinct species may be cloned and easily survive C. a gaur can have a monkey as a surrogate mother D. all the extinct species may be cloned CBDA *结束 Post Login
