1、新人教版高中英語選修八U2課文重點句匯集1. Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant.

2、e produced from the same original egg. The fact is that these are both examples of natural clones.克隆一直與我們同在，而且它還要持續(xù)下去。這是一種用來生產與原型完全相同的動植物的方法。當園藝師從生長著的植物上剪下枝條來培植新植物時，就會產生這種現(xiàn)象。這種現(xiàn)象也發(fā)生在動物身上，從同一個原生卵子產生性別和相貌相同的雙胞胎也是克隆。實際上，這些都是自然克隆現(xiàn)象。2. Cloning has two major uses. Firstly, gardeners use it all the time to

6、atic cell for the clone. The nucleus of this cell contains all the genes needed to produce a new sheep.5 The nucleus is taken out of the somatic cell.6 The nucleus from sheep B and the egg cell from sheep A are joined using electricity.7 The cell divides and grows into an embryo.8 The embryo is put

7、into female sheep C，who becomes the carrier of the clone.9 The lamb is the clone of the donated cell from Sheep B which provided the nucleus.1 母羊(甲)提供一個卵細胞。2 在卵細胞中取出細胞核。3 卵細胞準備接受新的細胞核。4 母羊(乙)提供一個供克隆的軀干細胞。該細胞應包含有生產一頭新羊所需要的全部基因。5 取出該細胞的細胞核。6 用電把母羊(乙)的軀干細胞核和母羊(甲)的卵細胞連接起來。7 細胞分裂并生長成胚胎。8 把胚胎置入母羊(丙)體內，母羊(

8、丙)就是克隆羊的代孕。9 這頭小羔羊就是母羊(乙)所提供的細胞核克隆而成的。3. Dollys death, like her birth, was bound to raise worries. 多莉的死亡，就像她的出生一樣，必定會引起人們的擔憂?！救私贪娼滩挠⒄Z8選修第2單元第14頁】The weather is bound to get better tomorrow. 明天天氣一定會變好。Youve done so much work that you are bound to pass the exam. 你下了這么大功夫，一定能考及格。4. The fact that she se

9、emed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the disturbing news that Dolly had become seriously ill. Cloning scientists were cast down to find that Dolly's illnesses were more appropriate to a much older animal. 多莉看來是在正常地成長著，這很令人鼓舞。接著傳來了多莉病重的壞消息。研究克隆的科學家發(fā)現(xiàn)多莉得的病更容易發(fā)生在年老的羊身上，這讓他們很沮喪。5

10、. On the other hand, Dolly's appearance raised a storm of objections and had a great impact on the media and public imagination. It became controversial. It suddenly opened everybody's eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses and even to produce human beings. 另一方面，多

11、莉的出現(xiàn)引起了一陣強烈的反對，對媒體和公眾的想象力也產生了極大的影響。它引起了爭議。因為它突然打開了人們的眼界，看到了有可能利用克隆技術來治療重病，甚至還有可能克隆出人類。6. Although at present human egg cells and embryos needed for cloning research are difficult to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders hoping to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. 盡管目前供克隆研究的人類卵細胞和胚胎很難獲得，

12、報紙報道說，有些邪惡頭目希望把自己克隆出來以實現(xiàn)他們的野心。7. Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Governments became nervous and more conservative. Some began to reform their legal systems and forbade research into human cloning, but other countries like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abund

13、ant medical aid that cloning could provide. 宗教領袖也提出了道德方面的問題。各國政府惶恐不安而且更加謹慎。有些政府開始改革司法制度，明令禁止進行克隆人類的研究，但是其他國家，如中國和英國，則仍然在繼續(xù)收集克隆技術有可能提供豐富的醫(yī)療救助的證據。8. The possibility of cloning fierce and extinct wild animals has always excited film makers. The popularity of films such as Jurassic Park, in which a scie

14、ntist clones several kinds of extinct dinosaurs, proves how the idea struck a mixture of fear and excitement into people's hearts. 克隆兇猛和滅絕的野生動物的可能性一直使電影制片商感到興奮。在電影侏羅紀公園中，一個科學家克隆了幾種類型的恐龍，這部電影很受歡迎，這證明了使人恐懼又興奮地這種想法是多么的令人刻骨銘心。9. The advantage is that if there is a new illness some of these animals m

15、ay die,but others will survive and pass on the ability to resist that disease to the next generation. The great drawback to cloning a group of animals is that they would all have the same arrangement of genes and so might die of the same illness.優(yōu)點是如果有一種新的疾病，這些動物中的一些可能會死亡，但其它的會存活下來并且把它們抵抗這種疾病的能力傳給它們

16、的下一代。經過克隆的動物群體的最大的缺點是：他們的基因排列有可能完全相同，因而他們有可能會死于同一種疾病。10.
