Fighting climate change by cloning trees
【USA Today(April 15, 2024)】
It's been struck by lightning at least three times and has survived multiple hurricanes. "Big Tree," an imposing southern live oak, sits in an unassuming park just outside Orlando's business district. Over 400 years old, the tree is so impressive that members of a Michigan-based nonprofit flew to Orlando in February to climb and sample it. The arborists are now in the midst of a monthslong process to grow new roots the from the clippings. The reason: To clone the historic tree, store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of replicas across the Southeast.
In order to clone an ancient tree, one must climb it. Helmeted researchers hoisting themselves up the trunk of a colossal redwood or sequoia in order to find a piece of live tissue. The freshly cut limbs and leaves are taken to the group's lab in Michigan, where propagators work to spur growth from the samples. The most common method is by rooted cuttings, which has long been used by horticulturists. In this method, a tip of a tree's branch is dipped into hormones, placed into a foam plug and set inside a mist chamber. Then, the waiting begins. A sign of life could take months to a year, if one comes at all. In another method called tissue culture, propagators take a quarter-inch of stem, drip it in a liquid made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals, seal it in an airtight container and wait until it grows roots.
With each new tree, the group tries hundreds of combinations. The experts change the hormones, adjust the temperature of the test room and vary the amount of water being sprayed on the samples. About 90% will fail. However, those that form new roots are subsequently cloned. Because they're young, their success rate is much higher than that of samples from the original tree.
Experts lauded the group for its innovative methods and large-scale propagation, but they cast doubt on the assumption underlying the nonprofit's work: That the clones will prosper as the originals have. Scott Merkle, a professor of forest biology at the University of Georgia, said there are many factors that contribute to a tree's age in addition to genetics: the site it's sitting on, what's interacting with it in the soil, the surrounding environment and luck.
"There's so many variables that there's certainly no guarantee that they will be able to survive and perform better than other trees that you might put out on the landscape," Merkle said. He added that the sheer age of historic trees makes them difficult to study: "There's no real way to test these hypotheses in our lifetimes. I think it's a great thing that they're doing. I just don't know how realistic it is."

1．考查词义猜测，根据第一段中的"The arborists are now in the midst of a monthslong process to grow new roots the from the clippings. The reason: To clone the historic tree, store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of replicas across the Southeast."树艺师们现在正在进行为期一个月的过程，从剪下的树枝中长出新的根。原因：为了克隆这棵历史悠久的树，储存它的DNA，并在东南部种植数千个复制品。可推知划线词 replicas指的是"（大树的）复制品"，故选A。
2．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"The most common method is by rooted cuttings, which has long been used by horticulturists. In this method, a tip of a tree's branch is dipped into hormones, placed into a foam plug and set inside a mist chamber. Then, the waiting begins."最常见的方法是生根插条，这是园艺家长期使用的方法。在这种方法中，将树枝的尖端浸入激素中，放入泡沫塞中，然后放入喷雾室内。然后，等待开始了。故选C。
