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 100years, 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.
28. What is Paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A. A science fictin review.B. The develpment f DNA.
C. The applicatin f PCR technlgy.D. An inspired guess f de-extinctin.
29. What’s the barrier t clning a living embry?
A. Cmputatinal pwer is limited. B. DNA is hard t keep fr lng.
C. Bilgists are ppsed t it. D. Living cells can’t be sequenced.
30. Why are peple interested in clning extinct species?
A. They want t see bidiversity. В. They lack surces f mdern art.
C. They need them fr research. D. They expect t seek hunt fun.
31. What’s the authr’s attitude tward clning extinct species?
A. Unclear.B. Cautius. C. Dismissive.D. Apprving.

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 Culture, Turism & Antiquities Department f Sindh 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.
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,” making up f “the mst ancient planned city n the Indian subcntinent”.
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, delivering $350,000 frm its emergency fund fr damaged histric sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General Antni Guterres’ 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 the 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.
32. What makes Menjdar special t Pakistan?
A. The value it hlds in histry and architecture.
B. The rle it played in fighting fds.
C. The mass destructin it suffered in histry.
D. The gegraphic feature it bears.
33. What des the underlined wrd “mitigate” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Suffer.B. Reduce.C. Avid.D. Assess.
34. Which best describes the situatin f the repair wrk made s far?
A. Creative.B. Impractical. C. Wrrying.D. Satisfactry.
35. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Pakistan UNESCO Site Menjdar Badly Damaged by Flding
B. Menjdar Calling fr Attentin t Its Severe Damage
C. Menjdar Added t the List f UNESCO Sites in Danger
D. Pakistan’s Deadly Flds Causing Widespread Damage

We’re lucky t live in an age when the sum ttal f human knwledge is pretty available at the click f a buttn. We’ve never had access t s much infrmatin. 36 . S here are a few strategies t sharpen yur critical thinking.
Watch ut fr cnfirmatin prejudice (偏见). 37 . In repeated experiments, psychlgists have shwn we’re much mre likely t accept smething as evidence if it cnfirms what we already think we knw. And we’re much mre likely t ignre infrmatin if it is nt in line with ur views, which will affect ur ability t prcess infrmatin.
Acknwledge small differences. In life, mst situatins are varying and cmplicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the wrld. Fr example, what clur is the sky? Well, the bvius answer is blue. But at sunrise r sunset, it can be red. On a cld misty mrning, white r gray. 38 .
Practise intellectual humility (谦逊). One apprach t, well, arguing, is t let g f the idea f being “right”. Or at least seriusly cnsider that yu might actually be wrng. 39 . Really try t understand where the ther persn is cming frm. Arguing is just t waste smebdy’s time.
40 . It’s mre imprtant than ever t knw where yur infrmatin is cming frm. That science-lking paragraphs might lk very cnvincing until yu dig a little deeper and find it was just psted by smene having n qualificatins. That is the case we shuld nt verlk.
Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfrk, r feeling like yu’re fundamentally right. But in the lng run, it leads t a mre curius, educated and harmnius sciety, which is the biggest win f all.
A. Check yur surces
B. Avid mistakes
C. Putting yurself int the ther persn’s shes can have mre fruitful utcmes
D. We all enjy feeling like we’re right
E. S dn’t rush t decide, and be actively prepared t change yur mind
F. S pay attentin t differences in many situatins
G. But nt all f what’s ut there is quite what it seems
