Unit 3 Science and nature Ⅰ.课文缩写填空________ successfully was Dolly the sheep，which died in early 2003, at a much younger age than ________．When she was born in 1996, ________ for their wonderful scientific advance.However, scientists have ________ that they have successfully cloned the first human embryo, which has caused much ________．________ Dolly is ________ because he has never ________ to create copies of humans.Even though this use of cloning is causing a lot of ________， it is good news for people who cant have a baby but are ________ to have their own children. 答案：　　　　　　　　　Ⅱ.阅读理解(不道德的)．int, much has to do with how some reproductive clones are made.Many believe that an embryo, even when simply fertilized sperm (精子)and egg is a human and thus should not be destroyed.Experimentation of embryos to produce clones often results in embryo death.Further some feel that cloned embryos might be used specifically to harvest body parts and then killed.ells is unethical.Others argue that stem cell research may point the way toward curing diseases for which there is currently no cure.It should be noted, however, that fewer people object to the idea of cloning a body part, than cloning a human. Others are concerned about the cloning of extinct or endangered animals.In fact Michael Crichtons novel Jurassic Park dealt with this theme.Especially since actual dinosaur DNA has been found recently, in enough abundance to clone, some scientists are concerned about the environmental impact that could result from reproducing a long dead species. In some countries，stem cell research has been stopped, when it involves cloning human embryos.Other scientists research on the possibility of finding stem cells elsewhere, as in the umbilical cord (脐带) blood of newborns.It is suspected that some countries may be attempting to clone a whole humanrfect science with more failures than successes at present.This suggests that scientists may not fully understand all the mechanisms (机制) involved in
