Who is it
What is it doing
[(第一卷 石破天惊 第十一章 不打不识与牛魔结义 )写道:
魔王又气又急,刀下毫不放松,仍然是一刀快似一刀,刀刀追命,猴王见状,好似个没完没了,心下想,也罢,我就再陪他玩玩,乘空时从身上拔下一根毫毛,念动口诀,在口前轻轻一吹,叫了声“变”,立时便凭空出现了三个小猴儿,围在了牛魔王的身前和左右两侧]
(在西游记中,孙悟空只要从自己身上拔出一根毫毛,放在嘴边一吹,就可以变出无数个跟自己一模一样的小猴子。What is the matter )
That's cloning.
Get to the topic
Lead-in
What do you know about cloning What additional information would you like to know Use the words and phrases to help you.
cell to edit genes to develop artificially to break the technical barrier
species identical genes to make an exact copy of to produce animal models
Example
Cloning is the process of producing individual organisms with identical DNA, either by natural or artificial means.
I want to know how to edit genes.
克隆(Clone)是指生物体通过体细胞进行的无性繁殖,以及由无性繁殖形成的基因型完全相同的后代个体组成的种群。通常是利用生物技术由无性生殖产生与原个体基因完全相同的个体或种群。

Para 6
Draw a structural map to show how the paragraphs are organised.
Read the first four paragraphs to answer the following questions.
1. What was the first cloned mammal What happened to her
2. How has the science of cloning developed since the first cloned mammal
3. What development in cloning was announced in 2018 What was special about it
4. For how long did Dr. Sun Qiang’s team work Why did they work so hard
5. Why was it significant to clone primates
Intensive Reading
1. What was the first cloned mammal What happened to her
It was a sheep named Dolly in 1996.
At first, Dolly grew normally. But later she developed an illness that is more normally found in much older animals. She lived for six and a half years, only half the life of the sheep from which she was cloned.
Intensive Reading
2. How has the science of cloning developed since the first cloned mammal
After Dolly, scientists have cloned more than 20 mammal species, including camels, cattle, deer, dogs, goats, and mice.
Intensive Reading
3. What development in cloning was announced in 2018 What was special about it
In January 2018, Chinese scientists announced the cloning of two long-tailed monkeys, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua. They were the first-ever primates to have been cloned! Cloning primates is much harder and doing so with non-reproductive cells was even more complicated.
Intensive Reading
Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua
Intensive Reading
4. For how long did Dr. Sun Qiang’s team work Why did they work so hard
They worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for more than 5 years.
They wanted to get animals with edited genes and produce animal models that are helpful for medical research and human health.
Intensive Reading
Dr. Sun Qiang and one of his team members
Intensive Reading
5. Why was it significant to clone primates
It might lead to cures for various diseases.
It may offer clues on how to prevent the aging process.
It allows us to have the potential to raise a large number of monkeys with identical genes in a short amount of time.
It may allow us to change their genes to suit research needs.
It could help save research time.
Intensive Reading
5. Why was it significant to clone primates
It could reduce the number of animals required for testing.
It could produce more accurate results.
It could lead to more effective treatments.
Intensive Reading
Potential benefits
will lead to cures for various diseases
Intensive Reading
Read paragraphs 5 and 6. Finish the columns.
prevent aging, save research time, reduce the number of animals being tested on, producing more accurate results, better treatments
Moral concerns
has refreshed the technical possibility of cloning of other species
Intensive Reading
clones should be treated as objects or individuals, clones are inferior, some organisations may abuse the technology
Read paragraphs 5 and 6. Finish the columns.
What does Einstein’s quote mean
“Science is a powerful instrument. How it is used, whether it is a blessing or a curse to mankind, depends on mankind and not on the instrument. A knife is useful, but it can also kill.”
Intensive Reading
Science itself cannot be judged as good or bad, because
it can only function when it is used by humans. Humans need to be careful with the information they learn through science and to remember to use science for good.
