5、e also invasions (侵略) of southern England by Saxons and Jutes (people from another part of northern Germany). English people are sometimes called AngloSaxons. The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall and into Western France (the area known as

The English language is the main language spoken throughout England, although there are many different accents. It can be difficul

It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons groups that made a sound like a storm. But today, they are extinct because of human behavior. Now, some scientists
14、 want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas. They call this process deextinction.Deextinction has not happened yet. It is still just an idea. The process of deextinction is not easy. First, scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals.
15、 Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species. When these animals become adults, they will have babies. And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals. However, not everyone think
16、s this is a good idea.Stuart Primm is the worlds leading expert on modern animal extinction. He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth. On one hand, these animals no longer have a safe place to live. On the other hand, they could cause other animals to die.Many othe
17、r scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm. Stuart Brand, a writer and scientist, is one of them. He believes deextinction is good for many reasons.The current generation (当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime. It may be part of what defines their gene
18、ration and their attitude to the natural world. They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons, and maybe even dodo birds. This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration (恢复). Humans killed off a lot of species over the
19、 last 10,000 years.

21、.11How does Stuart Brand feel about deextinction?AWrong.BDifficult CImportant. DWasteful.DWhat is happening to the timber wolf(森林狼) today?Native Americans and early settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby(催眠曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were
22、 many wolves then. One kind was the North American timber wolf. Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals.
