endangered species 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 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 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 用心 爱心 专心 6 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 53 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 54 According to Professor Kraemer the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of A available panda eggs B host animals C qualified researchersD enough money 55 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 56 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

the shelf there lives a small fish the Antarctic cod For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish How does it live where most fish would freeze to death It must have some secret The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow Now it seems we have an answer Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and 用心 爱心 专心 7 catching the fish Scientists studied the fish s blood and measured its freezing point The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of 1 88 C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to 2 05 C That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice salt mixture The scientists next research job was clear Find out what in the fish s blood kept it from freezing Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein 蛋白质 never before seen in the blood of a fish When itit
