16、们应该那样去做。6 D 空格前指出“许多人认为一些动物物种会永远消失”；第二段首句指出“现在一些科学家正致力于恢复这些灭绝物种的研究”；由此可知， D 项“然而，你也许需要重新定义永远这个词的含义”与上文中的“ forever ”呼应，且引出下文内容，符合语境。故选 D。 7 G 根据上文可知，研究人员需要 DNA来克隆一个物种；根据下文可知，恐龙已经消失太久了，它们的 DNA存在于它们的化石当中；由此可知，此处应是对 DNA进行介绍， G项“ DNA是一种携带了生物结构的化学物质”承上启下，符合语境。故选 G。 8 C 根据上文可知，我们真的有机会能够恢复更接近现代的灭绝物种；根据下文可知，

17、空格后主要讲述的是研究例证； 由此可知， C项“这甚至包括冰川时期的动物如猛犸象”承接上文，下文的例子则对其进行了进一步论证，符合语境。故选 C。 9E 根据空格后的“ or ”表并列可知， 此处与下文应是对称的一般疑问句。 E 项“例如，旅鸽能够适应之前的栖息地吗”与下文衔接密切，符合语境。故选 E。 10A 根据第四段内容可知， 恢复物种也许会有很多好处， 但“我们”无法知道结果如何。环保人士担心恢复物种的能力也许会对传统的保护物种的艰辛工作产生不良影响； 空格后句意： 如果“我们”能纠正自己的错误， 为什么不利用这次机会呢？由此可知， 上下文之间构成转折关系。 A项中的“ However

26、沙拉，所有的原料都混合在一起， 但各种原料却没有因此失去自己的特色， 即我们能看到不同种类的文化组成了现在的美国社会。所以 B 项符合上下文语境。故选 B。412 C 根据下文中的“ Each ethnic group has its own special.and defend. ”可知，每个民族都有自己要保护和保卫的特殊的文化、语言、食物和传统。由此可推断出，此处解释了美国多元文化存在的原因。 C项符合上下文语境。故选 C。13 G 根据第一段中的两种观点“ a salad bowl ”和“ a melting pot ”及空格后的“one large pot of soup ”可知，本段

27、要介绍另外一种观点。 G 项说法和第一段中的第二种观点一致。故选 G。 14 F 根据下文中的“ In such a culture ， symbols like.serve to.groups. ”可知，共同拥有的符号有助于消除不同民族之间的隔阂，创造出一种新文化。 F 项符合上下文语境，且“ They”指代上文中的“ symbols”。故选 F。15D 该段是对全文内容的总结。即美国是一个具有多样性和统一性的国家。 D项符合语境，是对前面一句内容的另一种表述。故选 D。 D( 2016 长春检测 )Happiness is the only true measure of personal
