As a result, afte
26、r two years of hard efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world.Born on June 10, 2022, the wolf, named Maya, is energetic and in very good health. Her donor (供体) cell came from a wild female arctic wolf from Canada. However, her oocyte (卵母细胞) was f
27、rom a female dog, and her surrogate mother (代孕母体) was a beagle. The scientist chose a dog as Mayas surrogate because they are similar in genes (基因), and its more easily to succeed through cloning technology.“This is our new try and it has been a development in protecting and producing wild and endan
28、gered animals. The birth of Maya is an event for the development of cloning technology and is of great value to biodiversity (生物多样性), the protection of wildlife, and the restoration (恢复) of endangered animals in the world,” Mi Jidong, the companys general manager, said.Cloning technology is a breedi
29、ng method different from natural reproduction (繁殖). Some gave opinions about the cloned arctic wolf.

30、ems that need to be treated properly. Sun believed cloning should be considered only for endangered wild animals whose species are extinct, or whose captive populations (圈养种群) are very limited.Maya now lives with her surrogate mother in a lab, and later she will be sent to the Harbin Polarland and d
31、isplayed to the public, Maya would live by herself in the park at first because she may not be able to fit for original arctic wolf groups. However, it is reported that the technology of cloning arctic wolves has gained strong value in its application, and another male cloned arctic wolf will come i
32、nto this world in the near future.12Which of the following is TRUE about Maya according to the passage?AShe was born in Canada.BShe is in good condition.CShe is the first cloned animal in China.DShe shares similar living habits with dogs.13What is the third paragraph mainly about?AThe development of
33、 cloning technology.BThe difficulties of maintaining biodiversity.CScientists efforts to protect endangered animals.DThe importance of the birth of the cloned arctic wolf.14What is Sun Quanhuis idea towards cloning technology?ACareful.BConfident.CProud.DImproper.15What can we learn from the last par
34、agraph?AMaya was trained to live with wolf groups in the lab.BAnother male arctic wolf is expected to be born soon.CMaya is popular with many visitors to the Harbin Polarland.DCloning technology will be used in the protection of the animal.二、七选五What Can We Learn from Gu Ailing,a Famous Olympic Champ
35、ion(冠军)?Be yourself.Ive always dreamed big. My mom taught me that from day one. 16 The ideas of “good” and “bad”, when it comes to the way you behave yourself, are so subjective(主观的)that if you attempt to obey them, youll never fully succeed.

38、e of my mottos(座右铭)is“If it were easy it wouldnt be a dream.”Adversity(逆境)and possibility of failure are what make life interesting. When I learn a new trick(技巧)，its okay to be frightened. Its okay that I will probably fall a million times before I get it right. 19 But then,you use that bravery to y
39、our advantage, and you work harder and practise more,and eventually you land that new trick. 20 ABe young.BFind your role model.CIt takes courage to be able to fall.DIn the end,you achieve your big dreams.EIm really thankful for my mom and my grandma.FShe taught me the first person to believe in you
