    　　With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种). That's a move similar to what a Texas A．& M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah's Ark”.

    　　Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA．of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A．&. M's College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

    　　It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

    　　This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

    　　The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

    　　“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem.” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy(having a baby). It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A．& M, the first－ever attempt at cloning a dog.

    　　“They are trying to do something that's never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark. We're both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It's a research that is very much needed.”

    1．The aim of “Noah's Ark” project is to ________.

    [　　]

    A．make efforts to clone the endangered pandas

    B．save endangered animals from dying out

    C．collect DNA．of endangered animals to study

    D．transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

    2．According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of ________.

    [　　]

    A．available panda eggs

    B．host animals

    C．qualified researchers

    D．enough money

    3．The best title for the passage may be ________.

    [　　]

    A．China's Success in Pandas Cloning

    B．The First Cloned Panda in the World

    C．Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

    D．China－the Native Place of Pandas Forever

    4．From the passage we know that ________.

    [　　]

    A．Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog

    B．scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbit

    C．Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

    D．about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century

    　　Probably you have seen photographs of the Grand Canyon(峡谷)，the great valley in the desert country of Arizona．But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty．The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world．

    　　The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years．Slowly, the river cut down through hard rock．At the same time, the land was rising．Today, the canyon is one and a half kilometres deep and 445 kilometres long．The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old．The width varies from about 200 metres to 29 kilometres across．The rim(边缘)or top of the canyon is about 2,300 metres above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3,000 metres on the other side, the North Rim．As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon．The South Rim is dry desert country．The North Rim has tall forests．

    　　The canyon looks different at different times of day, and in different seasons and weather．At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown, and orange colours of the rocks are especially clear and bright．In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow．

    　　The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best, Most visitors come to the South Rim and stay in campgrounds or hotels．Every point along the canyon's edge offers a different view．

    　　The North Rim of the Canyon is quieter．It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River．On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colourful pink desert called“The Painted Desert”．

    　　You can walk down into the Grand Canyon, or you can go down on the back of a mule(小型电动机车)．You can also take a boat trip down the Colorado River, and camp on the beaches at night．But whether you see the Grand Canyon from the top or the bottom, it will be an experience that you will never forget．

    (1)

    The sea level on both sides of the Grand Canyon is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    B．

    D．

    very low

    A．

    length

    B．

    scene

    C．

    width

    D．

    height

    (3)
