* 中小学课件 课堂讲练互动 【美文阅读】　 Pandas can be saved by cloning? 从1998年中国科学院动物研究所首席科学家、动物克隆与受精生物学学科带头人陈大元首次正式提出克隆大熊猫到现在，整整16年过去了，陈老仍然执著于此。然而保护大熊猫，究竟要不要通过克隆的方式呢？ The move was considered as one of the 10 biggest achievements of science and technology in 1999.It won an award of 6 million yuan and further funding of 5 million yuan for the project from the Ministry of Science and Technology. At first，two embryos were created from a surrogate mother(代母) cat who became pregnant after being in- jected with a blastocyst，but the experiment was abandoned after the cat died. Chen and his team then experimented with surrogacy on black bears.After three years of effort，a black bear became pregnant and the shape of a fetus(胎儿) could be seen on an ultrasound scan(超声波扫描检查)．However，the research was stopped in 2005 because the fetus did not completely develop before the projects deadline. “Those who are against cloning have made their voices heard throughout the research project on cloning giant pandas.Some people believe cloning goes against nature，but it is actually a pioneering technology.If successful，it is a way to save endangered animals，”Chen said. Some scientists take a different view.“While I agree that research on cloning is meaningful，it is inappropriate to use giant pandas in this type of experiment.The number of pandas is limited and human beings have yet to master knowledge about pandas pregnancy.Cloning would do little to save the species，”said Wang Dajun，a researcher at the School of Life Sciences，Peking University. In response，Chen said that he would continue his research. 【诱思导学】　 1．Do you think pandas can be saved by cloning？Why? ______________________________________________ 【答案】　省略 2．Why are some scientists against cloning pandas? ______________________________________________ 【答案】　Because they think cloning go against nature. 教师用书独具演示 ●教学目标 本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，为下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。 ●教学地位 本单元的中心话题是“克隆”。克隆意为无性繁殖，克隆技术即是无性繁殖技术。1997年英国罗斯林研究所试验
