课件32张PPT。Unit 2 Cloning
Using language Extensive readingThe return of the dinosaurs ?Please enjoy some pictures about dinosaurs. 霸王龙tyrannosaurus剑龙stegosaurs角龙 ceratopsids雷龙 brontosaurus翼龙pterodactylAnswer the following questions: 1. Why shouldn’t you clone an extinct animal if there isn’t enough diversity in the group?
2.Why is it wrong to clone an extinct animal if it would have to live in a zoo?

3.Why can’t you clone the DNA of animals that have been extinct longer than 10,000 years? Reading1. Why shouldn’t you clone an extinct animal if there isn’t enough diversity in the group? Keys: There will not be enough genetic variation in the group to be able to resist new illnesses. Why is it wrong to clone an extinct animal
if it would have to live in a zoo?
It is not a good idea to clone an animal that would have to live in a zoo because it is not a suitable habitat to develop and increase its numbers. The zoo is not a natural environment for a wild animal.3. Why can’t you clone the DNA of animals that have been extinct longer than 10,000 years?
The DNA of animals more than 10,000 years old is not suitable for cloning, for it can’t survive so long.The writer of the text_____
A. is excited by the possibility of cloning fierce and extinct animals
B. believes that extinct animals can be brought back to life by cloning
C. thinks it impossible or unsuitable to clone extinct animals like dinosaurs
D. dreams of dinosaurs returning to the earthReading comprehension2. The film Jurassic Park is popular because _____.
A. people are interested in the subject of cloning
B. all the actors are dinosaurs
C. it was directed by a scientist who clones dinosaurs
D. it proves very interesting3. Which of the following is true? ____
Mice were cloned in 1981.
B. Dolly the sheep was the first cloned animal.
C. The name of the cloned cow is “Bison”
D. China was successful in cloning mammals.4. The reasons why a group of cloned animals all
die of the same illness do NOT include____.
A. they have the same arrangement of genes
B. there isn’t enough diversity in the group for
it to overcome illnesses
C. the illness is a new one
D. their arrangement of genes can not resist
that new disease5. We can infer from the text that____
A. scientists are experimenting to clone dinosaurs
B. dinosaurs will never return to the earth
C. cloned animals will only live in the zoo
D. the DNA of dinosaurs can only survive 10 000 yearsTrue or false. Scientists are still experimenting with cloning mammals because they think it can make money.
The animals that have disappeared from the earth, like dinosaurs, can be brought back to life through cloning.
If we can clone any extinct animals, we should let them live in a zoo.FFF May the best animal win!
Which extinct animals are worth restoring by means of cloning? Choose one and use the information to help you argue why this animal should be restored to the earth.DiscussionGreat Auk (1844)Auroch (1627)Dodo bird (1755)Quagga (1883)A sample dialogue (P16)S1: I think the dodo bird should be returned to the earth. It hasn't been extinct very long. So its DNA will still be good enough for cloning.
S2: Yes and sailors in the past always described the dodo as being a very friendly animal. So it would make a good pet. It wasn't too large either. I can't see any other extinct animals becoming a pet, can you?
S1: No, indeed. 1 know it's a bird like the Great Auk but neither of them could fly. So if you kept either, it wouldn't escape from a park, a family or its home in the wild. You could also farm a dodo, unlike all the others, and produce many of them as exotic pets.S2: And what about its large nutritious eggs? Just one would feed a large family. So there's more than one reason for producing it in commercial numbers.
S1: Did you know that its meat is very tasty too! Perhaps it could be farmed like ostriches and provide a good source of protein.S2: The only problem is that it needs hot climate to survive. But that's easy to provide with all its other advantages. I don't think any of the other animals stands a chance against the dodo.
S1: So we both agree that the best extinct animal to be cloned is the dodo bird.
S2: Yes.Language points 1 做某事的可能性
