Thats a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been unde
21、rtaking for the past five years in a project called Noahs Ark. Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎 ), semen and DNA of these animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms College of Veterinary, Medi
22、cine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future. It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in t
23、he next 25 years. This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete. Th
24、e nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, but the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem, Kraemer believes. They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be gro
25、undbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort, adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very si
26、milar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do.

30、sand species are to die out in a century 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 D Girls really prefer pink and boys prefer blue, recent research shows. The reasons could have its origins in the hunt for food on the African savannah(稀树草原 ) thousands of years ago. Evolution may have developed womens pr
31、eference for pink, perhaps because it helped to find ripe fruit and healthy men with reddish faces, while both men and women have a natural desire for blue, according to scientists at Newcastle University. “ Everyone in todays western culture, from parents to toy manufactures, seems to assume that l
32、ittle girls like pink.” Said Prof. Anya Hulbert, who wanted to find out whether the reason was cultural or to do with biology. A love of salmon, fuchsia and coral does seem to be rooted into females, rather than picked up from their mothers. The participants in the study were Chinese and British. Th
33、e Chinese students showed a marked preference for red, “ Culture may contribute to this natural female preference,” said Pro. Hulbert. In her experience, 208 young adult men and women were asked to select, as rapidly as possible, their preferred color. Hulbert and her colleague Dr. Yazhu Ling marked
34、 the results and found that while men preferred blue, women tended to choose pink. Hulbert said she could only prefer about the preference for blue: “Here again, I would favor evolutionary arguments. Going back to our savannah days, we would have a natural preference for a clear blue sky, because it
35、 signals good weather. Clear blue also signals a good water source.” 63. The passage mentions “the African savannah” to show that_. A. the ancient Africa was a beautiful place B. human beings lived in Africa at first C. women and men have different color preference D. color preference has its histor

Michigan State University re
39、searcher Jianguo “Jack” Liu and his assistant Eunice Yu said the increasing number of divorces leads to more households with fewer people and greater consumption of water and energy. They said housing units require space, construction materials and fuel to heat and cool, regardless of the number of
40、inhabitants. For example, in the United States in 2005, divorced households consumed an extra 73 billion kilowatt hours of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water. An additional 38 million extra rooms required heating and lighting that same year due to divorced households. “A married household
41、actually uses resources more efficiently than a divorced household”, Liu said. He said that in cohabitating households, people will watch the same television, share the air conditioning and heat and use the same refrigerator, all things that use energy at a regularly stable rate regardless of the nu
42、mber of users. Liu said he was not condemning divorce, “Some people really need to get divorces.” He said that cohabitation was simply a more environmentally friendly option. Additionally, the researchers noted that trends other than divorce are also changing family living structures, such as the en
43、d of multiple generations of a family sharing a home and people remaining single longer. “Peoples first reaction to this research is surprise, and then it seems simple.” Liu said in a release, “But a lot of things become simple after research is done. Our challenges were to connect the dots and quan
44、tify their relationships. People have been talking about how to protect the environment and refuse climate change, but divorce is an overlooked factor that needs to be considered.” He said the increasing energy demands caused by divorce should be considered by governments when they are creating envi
45、ronmental policies. This passage is mainly meant to _. A. inform the reader of the increasing divorce in America B. emphasize the importance of protecting the environment C. tell people the effect divorce has on the environment D. appeal to married people to keep their households According to the pa
46、ssage, whats the attitude of Mr. Liu towards divorce A. Supportive B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Unclear. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. divorced households will promote the sales of products B. married households are more willing to protect the environment C. divorced households
47、contribute more to the societys development D. divorce is not taken into account when people are protecting the environment From this passage we can find that _. A. divorce rates are quickly rising globally these years B. cohabiting households will increase consumption of water and energy C. to divo
48、rce is a wise option according to the passage D. the end of multi-generations of a family will save energy 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 A Are you a problem shopper The answer is “Yes”, if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping.
