第一学时　Reading and Comprehension Cloning As we know, cloning，making the exact copy，includes natural clones and man－made clones.Naturally－forward to undertake especially for the gardeners.Although the birth of Dolly the sheep in 1996 was a breakthrough for the scientistsonly lived six and a half years.As a result，even scientists doubt whether its worthwhile to clone such animals. 一、请将课文“Cloning: Where Is It Leading Us？”译成汉语然后参考译文助读自主勘误译文助读克隆：它将把我们引向何方？克隆一直与我们同在而且它还要持续下去。这是一种用来生产与原型完全相同的动植物的方法。当园艺师从生长着的植物上剪下枝条来培植新植物时就会产生这种现象。这种现象也发生在动物身上从同一个原生卵子产生性别和相貌相同的双胞胎也是克隆。实际上这些都是自然克隆现象。克隆技术有两大用途。第一园艺师一1996年具有突破性的克隆羊“多莉”的诞生。它的程序如下图(略)所示：母羊(甲)提供一个卵细胞。在卵细胞中取出细胞核。卵细胞准备接受新的细胞核。母羊(乙)提供一个供克隆的躯干细胞该细胞应包含有生产一头新羊所需要的全部基因。取出该细胞6．用电把母羊(乙)的躯干细胞核和母羊(甲)的卵细胞连接起来。细胞分裂并生长成胚胎。把胚胎置入另外一头母羊(丙)体内母羊(丙)就是克隆羊的代孕。这头小羔羊就是母羊(乙)所提供的细胞核克隆而成的。一方面整个科学界都在关注着首例成功的克隆动物多莉羊的成长。多莉看来是在正常地成长着这很令人鼓舞。接着传来了多莉病重的坏消息。研究克隆的科学家发现多莉得的病更容易发生在年老的羊身上这让他们很沮丧。多莉总共只存活了六年半这是它的原型羊寿命的一半。可悲的是同样明令禁止进行克隆人类的研究但是其他国家如中国和英国则仍然在继续收集克隆技术有可能提供丰富的医疗救助的证据。然而科学家们仍对克隆技术有助于人类还是有害于人类以及克隆技术将把我们引向哪里感到困惑。二、课文精选段落背诵请注意划线和黑体字的语言现象successful clone，Dolly the sheep.The_fact_that she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging.Then_came_the_disturbing_news_that Dolly had become seriously ill.Cloning scientists were cast down to find that Dollys illnesses were more appropriate to a much older animal. Altogether Dolly lived six and a half years, half the length of the life of the original sheep.Sadly the same arbitrary fate affected other species，such as cloned mice.The_questions_that_concerned_all_scientists_were：“Would this be a major difficulty for all cloned animals? Would it happen forever？Could it be solved if corrections were made in their research procedure？”On_the_other_hand，Dollys appearance raised a storm of objections and had a great impact on the media and public imagination.It became controversial. It suddenly opened everybodys eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses and even to produce human beings.
