Gaur is a kind of endangered Asian ox. Noah, a gaur, was the first clone of an endangered animal born on 8 January 2001. Scientists at Advanced Cell Technology succeeded in cloning the baby gaur. Unfortunately, Noah died two days later. The experiment proved that it was possible to save endangered species through cloning.Skimming and Scanning
Read the article and letters quickly and answer these questions.1.Does the article give an anti- or
pro-cloning point of view, or both?2.What was the name of the first
cloned animal?3.Is Pauline Carter pro- or anti-cloning?BothDollyAnti-cloningTrue or False
1.People all over the world are happy about the idea of cloning human beings.
2.Dolly, the first cloned mammal, is exactly the same as other sheep.
3.According to the article, the scientist who created Dolly does not agree with cloning human beings.
4.Cloning can be used to cure diseases because it can produce new tissues and organs.
5.Colin Jake is against cloning humans, just like Pauline Carter.
6.Cloning human beings is illegal in many countries, so no scientists want to clone human beings.FNot all peopleFTNot exactlyTFNot likeFA few scientistsFill in the form
1.Produce valuable tissues
and organs that could be
used to save human lives2.Cure diseases like cancer3.Help those who are
unable to have children4.Help those who want to
clone their dead children1.May produce a real-
life Frankenstein’s
monster2.Create more disease
in the animal world3.Cloning shows no
respect for humans4.Human life would
no longer be unique5.Having fewer babies
to reduce population,
not cloning moreMore questions
1.What are the different attitudes towards the success of cloning a human cell?
2.What does Ian Wilmut, the Scottish scientist who created Dolly, intend to use cloning for?
3.Who are the three persons in the article related to cloning?1.What are the different attitudes towards the
success of cloning a human cell?
Valuable tissues and organs can be produced and
be used to save human lives.
Human beings may be on the way to producing a
real-life monster.
Some people consider cloning human embryos
with the intention to destroy them shows no
respect for human life.2.What does Iran Wilmut, the Scottish
scientist who created Dolly, intend to use
cloning for?
He thinks research efforts should be
concentrated on creating new tissues and
organs that could eventually be used to cure
diseases like cancer.3.Who are the three persons in the article related
to cloning?
Ian Wilmut, a Scottish scientist who created Dolly
and was shocked when hearing some scientists
were considering cloning human beings. He never
intends to create copy of humans. Instead, he
thinks the efforts of scientists should be directed
towards creating new cells and organs that could
eventually be used to cure diseases like cancer.Faye Wilson, a woman of 41 years old who cannot
have a baby. She is desperate to have a baby of
his own, a child that is genetically related to her.Severino Antinori, an Italian doctor, who is one
of the leaders in the cloning research. He has
declared that he wants to be the first to clone a
human being.Reading comprehension:1.The announcement of successful
human embryo cloning has caused
much debate because________.
A. people still have no clear idea about
the results of human cloning
B. valuable tissues and organs can be
used to save humans
C. mankind is going to produce terrible
monsters
D. people know that nature will punish
mankind for human cloningA2.The success of the cloned sheep Dolly
has proved that_________.
cloning will create more diseases in
animal world
B. cloned animals will die at a much
younger age than normal
C. man has been able to produce an
exact copy from an adult cell
D. man can interfere with nature at his
willC3.According to the passage, what is
the real intention of Ian Wilmut”s
cloning research?
A. To create copies of humans in the
end.
B. To destroy human embryos in the
end.
C. To create new tissues or organs for
sale.
D. To cure deadly diseases eventually.D4. How does a woman who cannot
give a birth benefit from cloning?
She can have a baby by using
another woman’s egg.
B. She can have a baby genetically
related to her.
C. She can adopt someone else’s
child by cloning.
D. She can have more children.
B5. What can we infer from the whole
passage?
Cloning animals is illegal in Italy.
B. Chinese scientists are trying to
benefit mankind by using cloning
technology.
C. Chinese scientists want to be the
first to clone a human baby.
D. Colin Jake agrees with the
scientists who want to clone a
human baby.BReading strategy:

Discussion1.If human cloning was successful,
who would be happy apart from the
parents?2.Do you think it would be easy for the
cloned baby to accept his or her social
identity as a cloned human being?3.What would the cloned baby call
the original cell owner, mother/ father
