animals. for example, modern com has been produced to such a large size that it is no longer able to reproduce without mans assistance. modern dairy cows produce too much milk and if they are not often emptied of milk, they could leak, burst, become infected, and possibly die. besides, most dogs raised by people can not survive in the wild even with special training.since natural evolution is extremely slow and mankinds selective production programs only take a few generations to produce a completely new species, natural evolution has already taken a back seat to mankinds production programs. in addition, mankind has successfully killed off several species all together. for example, there are no more european wolves in existence and mammoths (猛犸象) probably died out because of mankind. even certain diseases have been permanently got rid of from the planet, and dozens of other diseases will soon be too. again, natural evolution did it cause most of the destruction during mans rule of the world.currently, scientists are creating new species with desired characteristics in the lab significantly faster than natural evolution creates new species. in a single generation, new species can be created and destroyed by mankind, while natural evolution could take thousands of years to do the same but only accidentally. scientists are even able to replace defective (有缺陷的) or damaged genes with different genes to attempt to cure genetic defects. this is something that natural evolution could possibly never correct.eventually scientists will even be able to improve the quality of people. for example, imagine not only correcting your eyesight with gene treatment, but also ensuring that all of your children do not receive your old genes of poor eyesight too. scientists will one day be able to improve the memory and intelligence of your children, so that they will do better in school and achieve more in life. doctors and scientists will be able to customize (订制) babies before they are born just like picking options at a car store.1.according to the first paragraph,_ .a. man-made evolution has improved all speciesb. man-made evolution has weakened some speciesc man-made evolution can make up for all natural lossesd. natural evolution wont happen without mans assistance2. what does the underlined part “taken a back seat to” in paragraph 2 mean?a. become powerful assistance to. b. become a huge barrier to.c speeded up the process of. d. played a less important role than.3 what does the third paragraph mainly talk about?a. why natural evolution happens so slowly.b. the way scientists adopt to have genetic defects repaired.c. the advantages of man-made evolution over natural evolution.d. how scientists make use of man-made evolution to create new species.参考答案bdc阅读理解-。阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。many people believe henry ford invented the automobile (汽车)but henry ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.that
