4.

Way of birth Cloning

Life span Six and a half years

Cause of death Illness appropriate to a much older animal

5. Religious leaders raised normal questions. Governments became nervous and more conservative. Some began to reform their legal systems and forbade research into human cloning, but other countries like China and UK continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide. Some evil leaders hoped to clone themselves to attain their ambitions.

Step two Discussion

Problems or dangers of cloning Advantages of cloning

Animal clones may develop the illness of older animals. Medical cloning could produce cures for serious illness in humans.

Animal clones may die younger than the cloner animals. Cloning plants can produce plants of similar quality for sale.

Evil leaders may want to clone themselves. Cloning plants can be useful for research on new plant species.

There are moral objections to cloning human beings. Cloning can help save endangered animals.

3. 但是,科學家的決心和耐心最終得到了回報,這就是1996年具有突破性的克隆羊“多莉”的誕生。

4. 接着傳來了多莉病重的壞消息。研究克隆的科學家發現多莉得的病更容易發生在年老的羊身上,這讓他們很沮喪。

5. 科學家們的腦海裏產生的問題是“這是不是所有克隆動物的一個主要困難呢?這種現象會不會永遠發生?如果改進研究程序,問題會不會解決?”

6. 另一方面,多莉羊的出現引起了一陣強烈的反對,對媒體和公衆的想象力也產生了極大的影響。

7. 它突然開啟了人們的眼界,看到了有可能利用克隆技術來治療重病,甚至還有可能克隆出人類。

8. 各國政府惶恐不安而且更加謹慎。有些政府開始改革司法制度,明令禁止進行克隆人類的研究,但是其他國家,如中國和英國,則仍然在繼續收集克隆技術有可能提供豐富的醫療救助的證據。

【精講點撥】

1. 那是一項很難完成的任務。不是,指代cloning animals,後置定語。

3. 如果改進克隆程序,問題能否被解決呢?

4. It suddenly opened everybody’s eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illness and even to produce human beings.

【課後延伸】

Today our class had a heated discussion about cloning, during which we are eager to give our own comments on its problems and express our own opinions. Generally, we have the following two major different opinions:

Some students who are for cloning think it brings more advantages than disadvantages. In their opinion, cloning is a great breakthrough in human scientific world of 21st century. Human beings can use it to produce quantities of good plans and animals, to save rare and endangered species, to keep the balance of nature and to develop new medicines for kinds of human illnesses.

While the rest oppose cloning, thinking it results in the early death of animals. They hold the opinion that cloning animals without plan can destroy the balance of nature and spread some illnesses. Some evil leaders may clone themselves by means of it and lead to a great disaster to human beings.
