19、genetically identical copies of a biological entity(存在体). The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone.How are genes cloned?Researchers routinely use cloning techniques to make copies of genes that they wish to study. The procedure consists of ins
20、erting a gene from one organism, often referred to as foreign DNA, into the genetic material of a carrier called a vector(带菌者). Examples of vectors include bacteria, yeast cells or viruses. After the gene is inserted, the vector is placed in laboratory conditions that allow it to multiply, resulting
21、 in the gene being copied many times over.What animals have been cloned?Over the last 50 years, scientists have done cloning experiments in a wide range of animals using a variety of techniques. In 1979, researchers produced the first genetically identical mice by splitting mouse embryos in the test
22、 tube and then implanting the resulting embryos into the wombs(子宫) of adult female mice. It was not until 1996, however, that researchers succeeded in cloning the first mammal from a mature cell taken from an adult animal. After 276 attempts, Scottish researchers finally produced Dolly, the lamb fro
23、m the udder cell of a 6-year-old sheep. Besides, other mammals that have been cloned include: cat, deer, dog, horse, mule, ox, rabbit and rat.Have humans been cloned?In spite of several public announcements, human cloning still appears to be fiction. There currently is no solid scientific evidence t
24、hat anyone has cloned human embryos.In 1998, scientists in South Korea claimed to have successfully cloned a human embryo, but said the experiment was interrupted very early when the clone was just a group of four cells.In 2004, a group led by Woo-Suk Hwang of Seoul National University in South Kore
25、a published a paper in the journalSciencein which it claimed to have created a cloned human embryo in a test tube. However, an independent scientific committee later found no proof to support the claim and, in January 2006,announced that Hwangs paper had been retracted(撤销).What are some of the moral
26、 issues related to cloning?Cloning would mean the possibility of creating a human that is genetically identical to another person who has previously existed or who still exists. This may conflict with long-standing religious and social values about human dignity, possibly harming individual freedom,
27、 identity and autonomy(自主权). However, some argue that cloning could help sterile(生育困难的) couples fulfill their dream of parenthood. Others see human cloning as a way to avoid passing on a bad gene that runs in the family without having to undergo embryo selection.61. Which of the following animals ha
28、snt been cloned? A. Cat. B. Donkey. C. Sheep. D. Ox.62. Why did Science retract Hwangs paper? A. Hwang copied others finds in his paper. B. There was no proof to support Hwangs claim. C. Science found out mistakes in the paper. D. Hwang wanted to update the paper by adding new things.63. Which of th
29、e following statements about cloning is true? A. The cloning procedure consists of inserting a vector into the genetic material. B. Dolly was successfully cloned after a few attempts. C. Cloning may conflict with traditional values about humanity(人性). D. There is no possibility that sterile couples can give birth to their babies. 64. What is the main purpose of the selection? A. To challenge new findings in the paper. B. To report the latest discoveries of cloning. C. To provide information about cloning. D. To cl
