11、als are extinct for now.In the past few weeks, the phrase “deextinction” has risen in the scientific community. Thanks to recent developments in genetic research, researchers are now able to bring extinct species back to life. At a Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) Talk in Washington DC. l

12、ast week, a team of scientists suggested a wide variety of species that can be revived (恢复)Sounds impossible? But, surprisingly, the technology needed to bring these animals back already exists. In 2000, the Pyrenean ibex, a goat that lived in the French Pyrenees, died out, but in 2003 scientists we

13、re able to create a clone from a live tissue sample taken before the goats disappearance. Unfortunately, the clone only lived for seven minutes, but the experiment opened the door for bringing back extinct species.But deextinction still faces many challenges. One of the biggest challenges is where t

14、o put them. If we are going to bring these extinct species back to life, what are we going to do with them? Will they go into zoos, or should we offer them the areas in which they once existed? More importantly, do their habitats still exist in the same manner as in the time they went extinct? Many

15、species in the 19th and 20th centuries went extinct due to rapid habitat change, so if we bring them back, there is no guarantee they would exist again in todays world.Whats more, bringing extinct species back to life may lessen the importance of our current wildlife conservation.Isnt it more import

16、ant to focus on conserving existing species? Why bother with extinct species when there are so many living ones that need our help now?5Through deextinction, scientists can_Afind the reasons for extinctionBdraw pictures of extinct animalsCcreate many new species of animalsDbring back animals that ha

17、ve died out 6The author mentions the cloning of the Pyrenean ibex to _Aexplain how cloning technology worksBexplain why clones live very short livesCshow deextinction is technically possibleDshow many animals are in danger of extinction7According to Paragraph 4, if extinct animals are revived, they_

18、Awill be a new threat to humansBmay become extinct once againCcan live very well in todays worldDwill help keep the balance of nature8What is the authors attitude to deextinction?ATolerant.
