T save endangered arctic wlves, the Beijing-based Singene Bitechnlgy Cmpany cperated with Harbin Plarland n clning the arctic wlf. As a result, after tw years f thrugh effrts, the arctic wlf was clned successfully. It is the first case f its kind in the wrld.
Brn n June 10, 2022, the wlf, named Maya, is energetic and in very gd health. Her dnr cell came frm the skin sample f a wild female arctic wlf, wh had been intrduced frm Canada. Hwever, her cyte (卵母细胞) was frm a female dg, and her surrgate mther (代孕母体) was a beagle (小猎犬). The selectin f a dg as Maya’s surrgate was made because dgs share a genetic ancestr (祖先) with ancient wlves, and it’s mre likely t succeed thrugh clning technlgy.
“This is ur new attempt and breakthrugh in prtecting and breeding (繁育) wild and endangered animals. The birth f the wrld’s first clned arctic wlf is a milestne fr the applicatin f clning technlgy and is f great imprtance t bidiversity, the prtectin f wildlife, and the restratin (修复) f endangered species in the wrld,” Mi Jidng, the cmpany’s general manager, said.
Clning technlgy is a breeding methd different frm natural reprductin. Sme raised arguments relating t the clned arctic wlf. Sun Quanhui, a scientist frm the Wrld Animal Prtectin Organizatin, said that clning technlgy is still in the explratry stage f research, and there are many technical and mral issues that need t be handled and treated with cautin. Sun believed clning shuld be cnsidered nly fr endangered wild animals whse species are extinct, r whse captive ppulatins are very limited.
The clned wlf nw lives with her surrgate beagle in a lab, and later she will be delivered t the Harbin Plarland and displayed t the public. The clned wlf wuld live by herself in the park in the initial stage because she may nt be able t adapt t riginal arctic wlf grups. Hwever, it is reprted that the technlgy f clning arctic wlves has gained strng value in its applicatin, and anther male clned arctic wlf will cme int this wrld in the near future.
24. What d we knw abut. Maya?
A. She was brn in Canada.B. She is in gd cnditin.
C. She is the first clned animal in China.D. She shares similar living habits with dgs.
25. What is the third paragraph mainly abut?
A. The develpment f clning technlgy.
B. The difficulties f maintaining bidiversity.
C. Scientists’ effrts t prtect endangered animals.
D. The imprtance f the birth f the clned arctic wlf.
26. What is Sun Quanhui’s attitude twards clning technlgy?
A. Cautius.B. Cnfident.C. Uncertain.D. Disapprving.
27. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Maya was trained t live with wlf grups in the lab.
B. Anther male arctic wlf is expected t be brn sn.
C. Maya is favred by many visitrs t the Harbin Plarland.
D. Clning technlgy will be applied t mre endangered species.
