6、f/n.小牛；牛犊恐龙的回归？第1段译文克隆凶猛和灭绝的野生动物的可能性一直使电影制片商感到兴奋。然而他们并不是唯一对此感到兴奋的人！在侏罗纪公园这部影片中，有一位科学家克隆了好几种不同的绝种恐龙。类似这样的电影很受欢迎，证明了这一想法使人们感到既兴奋又恐惧。但事实上，要想克隆绝种动物，我们还有很长的路要走。科学家们现在还在进行克隆哺乳动物实验。这是因为克隆哺乳动物仍然还是一门新的科学，它是从20世纪50年代才开始认真进行研究的，如下列所示：20世纪50年代：克隆青蛙20世纪70年代：用老鼠胚胎进行研究1979年：对羊和老鼠的胚胎进行研究1981年：首次对老鼠进行实验性的克隆1983年：首次对

Unfortunately, with what we know now, this is either impossible or unsuitable. There are many re
8、asons.The initial requirement is that you need perfect DNA (which gives information for how cells are to grow).All efforts of cloning an animal will be in vain if there is not enough diversity in the group to overcome illnesses. Diversity in a group means having animals with their genes arranged in
9、different ways. The advantage is that if there is a new illness some of these animals may die, but others will survive and pass on the ability to resist that disease to the next generation. The great drawback to cloning a group of animals is that they would all have the same arrangement of genes and
10、 so might die of the same illness. Then none of them would be left to continue the species.It would be unfair to clone any extinct animals if they were to live in a zoo. A suitable habitat would be needed for them to lead a natural life.from time to time (相当于sometimes, not very often)不时；偶尔bring back

13、信息)。如果某个动物群体没有足够的多样性以战胜疾病，那么克隆这种动物的所有努力都将是无用的。种群多样性是指种群中动物的基因以不同的方式排列。其优点是，如果发生了某种新的疾病，这类动物中的一些可能会死去，而另外一些却能存活下来，并且把这种免疫力传给下一代。经过克隆的动物群体的最大缺点是：它们的基因排列有可能完全相同，因而它们有可能会死于同一种疾病。这样它们可能一个也留不下来传宗接代了。你如果克隆出任何绝种动物，而它们必须生活在动物园里，那是不公平的。它们需要适当的栖息地过正常的野生生活。Based on what we know now， you cannot clone animals tha
14、t have been extinct longer than 10,000 years. Actually, dinosaurs disappeared 65,000,000 years ago. So the chance of dinosaurs ever returning to the earth is merely a dream.过去分词短语Based on what we know now作状语。dinosaurs ever returning to the earth是动名词的复合结构，置于of之后，构成of短语，作the chance的定语。merely/mIlI/adv.
15、仅；只；不过(相当于only)第3段译文就我们现在所知道的而言，不可能克隆那些已经绝种了一万年以上的动物。事实上恐龙在6 500万年以前就已经消失了。所以说恐龙回归地球的可能性仅仅是个梦想罢了。Step 1Read the text carefully and answer the following questions.1Whats the main idea of the second paragraph?To_explain_the_impossibility_of_cloning_dinosaurs.2Whats the writers attitude towards cloning
