We may weep fr the dd, but culd and shuld we bring this lvely bird back frm the dead? De-extinctin is the science f restring lst species and it has been in the news fr decades.
The stry in mdern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichtn published his science fictin nvel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a wrld where scientists were able t bring dinsaurs back t life. Crichtn imagined that plymerase chain reactin (PCR) technlgy culd be a way t amplify (放大) tiny quantities f dinsaur DNA and thus build a living embry.
Sadly, bilgists sn realized that DNA in fact breaks dwn super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA frm museum skins f dds was decayed (腐烂) beynd repair. They culd be sequenced (测定序列) using massive cmputatinal pwer, but then nly with cnsiderable uncertainty. And even if yu capture a DNA sequence, there’s still the prblem f hw yu get living cells t read that sequence and express prteins that make the dinsaur r the dd.
But why wuld anyne want t see mammths, r smething like them, raming (漫游) present-day Siberia? Well, they were undubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, ur distant ancestrs painted their likenesses in caves acrss Eurpe. Fascinating as they may be, there's sme eclgical justificatin fr the prject t.
It was this diversity f land surface, brken up by heavy limbs and randmly fertilised by faeces (排泄物), that supprted s much flra (植物群). Withut the mammths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes wuld nce again be with a variety f species, including flwers and bushes.
True, it’s nt de-extinctin in the sense f bringing a lng-dead species back t life. Instead it’s mre like making a “dd” by engineering a mdern pigen, its clsest relative, t becme huge and flightless. The result wuld be a big, fatty pigen that, whether it lked like a dd r nt, wuld prbably fulfil sme f its eclgical rles.
As a palaentlgist, I wuld f curse lve t see living dinsaurs, mammths and dds. In sme ways, thugh, I am relieved that the ptimistic claims fr clning and genetic technlgies have nt been brne ut. The slwdwn gives us time t cnsider the utcmes—and hpefully avid sme f Michael Crichtn’s mre fevered imaginings.
8. What is paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A. A science fictin review.B. The develpment f DNA.
C. An inspired guess f de-extinctin.D. The applicatin f PCR technlgy.
9. What’s the barrier t clning a living embry?
A. DNA is hard t keep fr lng.B. Cmputatinal pwer is limited.
C. Bilgists are ppsed t it.D. Living cells can?t be sequenced.
10. Why are peple interested in clning extinct species?
A. They expect t seek hunt fun.B. They lack surces f mdern art.
C. They need them fr research.D. They want t see bidiversity.
11. What’s the authr’s attitude tward clning extinct species?
A. Cautius.B. Unclear.C. Dismissive.D. Apprving.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本篇是议论文，作者对克隆灭绝物种进行了分析。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第二段讲到“in which he imagined a wrld where scientists were able t bring dinsaurs back t life. Crichtn imagined that plymerase chain reactin (PCR) technlgy culd be a way t amplify (放大) tiny quantities f dinsaur DNA and thus build a living embry. (在小说里，他想象了一个科学家能够让恐龙复活的世界。克莱顿设想聚合酶链式反应（PCR）技术可能是一种扩增(放大) 微小数量的恐龙DNA，从而构建了一个活的胚胎。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是一个关于灭绝动物复活启发性猜测。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“Sadly, bilgists sn realized that DNA in fact breaks dwn super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA frm museum skins f dds was decayed (腐烂) beynd repair. (可悲的是，生物学家很快意识到DNA实际上分解得非常快；即使在100年后，博物馆里渡渡鸟皮肤上的DNA也腐烂得无法修复。)”可知，克隆活胚胎的障碍是很难长期保存。故选A。

细节理解题。文章第五段讲到“Withut the mammths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes wuld nce again be with a variety f species, including flwers and bushes. (没有长毛象，这种多样性就消失了。让他们回归，景观将再次出现各种各样的物种，包括花朵和灌木。)”可知，人们热衷于克隆灭绝动物主要是想看到生物的多样性。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“The slwdwn gives us time t cnsider the utcmes—and hpefully avid sme f Michael Crichtn’s mre fevered imaginings (经济放缓给了我们时间来考虑结果——并有望避免迈克尔·克莱顿的一些更狂热的想象)”可知，作者对克隆灭绝动物持谨慎的观点。故选A。

One f the wrld’s ldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by puring rain in Pakistan as the cuntry battles the wrst flds in its histry.
Menjdar, a Wrld Heritage site in the Indus River valley 508 kilmeters (316 miles) frm Karachi, was built in the Brnze Age, sme 5,000 years ag. “Unfrtunately we witnessed the mass destructin at the site,” reads a letter frm the Cultural, Turism & Antiquities Department f Singh state sent t UNESCO and signed by directr Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as temprary accmmdatin fr surrunding residents whse wn hmes had flded.

The letter explains sme f the immediate actins the site team has taken t mitigate the fld damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwrk. But it’s clear that these measures will nt be enugh.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking fr 100 millin Pakistani rupees ($45 millin) t cver the csts f full repairs. UNESCO has respnded t the request fr help, allcating $350,000 frm its emergency fund fr damaged histric sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General Antóni Guterres’s visit t the fld-stricken cuntry this week.
The funds will g t Menjdar and ther sites including the Amri Museum. While the sum is far less than needed t fully repair the sites, it will pay fr urgent wrk while UNESCO and lcal rganizatin cnsider the best way frward. Sadly, the cnservatrs f Menjdar have knwn fr sme time that flding culd bring a serius risk t the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express cncern that Menjdar culd be added t the list f UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservatin bdy updates peridically t highlight histric places that are at severe risk f ruin.
12. What makes Menjdar special t Pakistan?
A. The gegraphic feature it bears.
B. The rle it played in fighting flds.
C. The mass destructin it suffered in histry.
D. The value it hlds in histry and architecture.

A. Reduce.B. Suffer.C. Avid.D. Assess.
14. Which best describes the situatin f the repair wrk made s far?
A. Creative.B. Wrrying.C. Impractical.D. Satisfactry.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Pakistan’s Deadly Flds Causing Widespread Damage
B. Menjdar Calling fr Attentin t Its Severe Damage
C. Menjdar Added t the List f UNESCO Sites in Danger
D. Pakistan UNESCO Site Menjdar Badly Damaged by Flding
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D

细节理解题。根据第三段“Menjdar’s significance can’t be underestimated when it was added t UNESCO’s register in 1980, the rganizatin wrte that Menjdar “bears exceptinal prf t the Indus civilizatin,” cmprising “the mst ancient planned city n the Indian subcntinent”.(1980年，当门佐达罗被列入联合国教科文组织名录时，它的重要性不容小觑。该组织写道，门佐达罗“为印度河文明提供了独特的证据”，是“印度次大陆上最古老的规划城市”)”可知，门佐达罗在历史和建筑上的价值使它对巴基斯坦来说很特别。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The letter explains sme f the immediate actins the site team has taken(这封信解释了现场团队立即采取的一些行动)”及下文“like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwrk. But it’s clear that these measures will nt be enugh.(比如引进水泵和修复砖墙。但很明显，这些措施还不够)”可知，现场团队立即采取了一些措施来减轻洪水破坏。由此可知，划线词mitigate与reduce“减少，降低”意思接近。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But it’s clear that these measures will nt be enugh.(但很明显，这些措施还不够)”及倒数第二段中的“While the sum is far less than needed t fully repair the sites, it will pay fr urgent wrk while UNESCO and lcal rganizatin cnsider the best way frward.(虽然这笔钱远远少于完全修复遗址所需的钱，但它将支付联合国教科文组织和当地组织考虑最佳前进方式的紧急工作)”及最后一段“In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express cncern that Menjdar culd be added t the list f UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservatin bdy updates peridically t highlight histric places that are at severe risk f ruin.(在他们的信中，Abbasi和Sangah表达了对门佐达罗可能被列入联合国教科文组织濒危遗址名单的担忧，该保护机构定期更新该名单，以突出那些面临严重破坏风险的历史遗迹)”可推知，到目前为止，维修工作的情况令人担忧。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“One f the wrld’s ldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by puring rain in Pakistan as the cuntry battles the wrst flds in its histry.(巴基斯坦正在与历史上最严重的洪水作斗争，世界上保存最古老的人类住区之一在暴雨中遭到严重破坏)”及下文介绍可知，文章主要介绍了世界上保存最古老的人类住区之一——巴基斯坦的世界遗产门佐达罗在暴雨中遭到严重破坏和拯救方法。由此可知，D. Pakistan UNESCO Site Menjdar Badly Damaged by Flding(巴基斯坦联合国教科文组织世界遗产地门佐达罗被洪水严重破坏)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国春节的影响力和作用。
【36题详解】
考查分数。句意：如今，全球约有五分之一的人口庆祝春节，使其成为一个世界性的节日。根据空前的ne可知，这里表示五分之一，应用序数词fifth。表示分数时，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分词大于1时，分母的序数词要用复数。故填fifth。
【37题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：春节被广泛称为农历新年，2023年12月22日被定为联合国浮动假日。根据句中的时间状语“n December 22, 2023”可知，这里是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语The Spring Festival和hnr之间是动宾关系，所以应用被动语态，主语是单数，be动词使用was。故填was hnred。
【38题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意：据宣布，联合国将尽量避免在当天安排会议活动。It is annunced that...为固定句型，意为“据宣布……”，其中It作形式主语，that引导的是主语从句。故填It。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。固定搭配avid ding sth.意为“避免做某事”，动名词作宾语。故填arranging。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：它也将在全球推广中国传统。空处修饰谓语will prmte，应用副词glbally意为“全球地”。故填glbally。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：春节有着4000年的历史，一直延续到今天，并传播到世界许多国家。固定搭配spread t...意为“传播到……”，t是介词。故填t。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：因此，它是连接中国现在和过去的纽带。空后的bnd是第一次提到，表示泛指，且其发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：这是海内外中国人之间的紧密联系。固定搭配at hme and abrad意为“在国内外”。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它还表达了各国应该追求的共同目标：创造一个和谐繁荣的命运共同体。分析句子结构，空处引导限定性定语从句，先行词是a cmmn gal，指物，关系词在从句中作宾语，应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that或which。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。share意为“共享，共同拥有（某种看法﹑特质或经历）”。空处应用非谓语动词，作定语修饰future，share和future之间是动宾关系，应用过去分词。故填shared。

We may weep fr the dd, but culd and shuld we bring this lvely bird back frm the dead? De-extinctin is the science f restring lst species and it has been in the news fr decades.
The stry in mdern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichtn published his science fictin nvel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a wrld where scientists were able t bring dinsaurs back t life. Crichtn imagined that plymerase chain reactin (PCR) technlgy culd be a way t amplify (放大) tiny quantities f dinsaur DNA and thus build a living embry.
Sadly, bilgists sn realized that DNA in fact breaks dwn super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA frm museum skins f dds was decayed (腐烂) beynd repair. They culd be sequenced (测定序列) using massive cmputatinal pwer, but then nly with cnsiderable uncertainty. And even if yu capture a DNA sequence, there’s still the prblem f hw yu get living cells t read that sequence and express prteins that make the dinsaur r the dd.
But why wuld anyne want t see mammths, r smething like them, raming (漫游) present-day Siberia? Well, they were undubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, ur distant ancestrs painted their likenesses in caves acrss Eurpe. Fascinating as they may be, there's sme eclgical justificatin fr the prject t.
It was this diversity f land surface, brken up by heavy limbs and randmly fertilised by faeces (排泄物), that supprted s much flra (植物群). Withut the mammths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes wuld nce again be with a variety f species, including flwers and bushes.
True, it’s nt de-extinctin in the sense f bringing a lng-dead species back t life. Instead it’s mre like making a “dd” by engineering a mdern pigen, its clsest relative, t becme huge and flightless. The result wuld be a big, fatty pigen that, whether it lked like a dd r nt, wuld prbably fulfil sme f its eclgical rles.
As a palaentlgist, I wuld f curse lve t see living dinsaurs, mammths and dds. In sme ways, thugh, I am relieved that the ptimistic claims fr clning and genetic technlgies have nt been brne ut. The slwdwn gives us time t cnsider the utcmes—and hpefully avid sme f Michael Crichtn’s mre fevered imaginings.
8. What is paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A. A science fictin review.B. The develpment f DNA.
C. An inspired guess f de-extinctin.D. The applicatin f PCR technlgy.
9. What’s the barrier t clning a living embry?
A. DNA is hard t keep fr lng.B. Cmputatinal pwer is limited.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国春节的影响力和作用。
【36题详解】
考查分数。句意：如今，全球约有五分之一的人口庆祝春节，使其成为一个世界性的节日。根据空前的ne可知，这里表示五分之一，应用序数词fifth。表示分数时，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分词大于1时，分母的序数词要用复数。故填fifth。
【37题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：春节被广泛称为农历新年，2023年12月22日被定为联合国浮动假日。根据句中的时间状语“n December 22, 2023”可知，这里是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语The Spring Festival和hnr之间是动宾关系，所以应用被动语态，主语是单数，be动词使用was。故填was hnred。
【38题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意：据宣布，联合国将尽量避免在当天安排会议活动。It is annunced that...为固定句型，意为“据宣布……”，其中It作形式主语，that引导的是主语从句。故填It。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。固定搭配avid ding sth.意为“避免做某事”，动名词作宾语。故填arranging。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：它也将在全球推广中国传统。空处修饰谓语will prmte，应用副词glbally意为“全球地”。故填glbally。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：春节有着4000年的历史，一直延续到今天，并传播到世界许多国家。固定搭配spread t...意为“传播到……”，t是介词。故填t。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：因此，它是连接中国现在和过去的纽带。空后的bnd是第一次提到，表示泛指，且其发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：这是海内外中国人之间的紧密联系。固定搭配at hme and abrad意为“在国内外”。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它还表达了各国应该追求的共同目标：创造一个和谐繁荣的命运共同体。分析句子结构，空处引导限定性定语从句，先行词是a cmmn gal，指物，关系词在从句中作宾语，应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that或which。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。share意为“共享，共同拥有（某种看法﹑特质或经历）”。空处应用非谓语动词，作定语修饰future，share和future之间是动宾关系，应用过去分词。故填shared。
