hunter or warrior There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat He carried a copper knife on his breast The most amazing find was two gold earrings That would have made him a man of distinction Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay tools and materials to make arrows a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second smaller copper knife Next to them lay a cushion stone upon which the man could work metal His grave is the richest of any found from that period because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain dated to 2470 BC Besides he was buried three miles from Stonehenge Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons But the smaller blue stones still weighing 4 tons on average came from west Wales It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age 56 Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man A Tools a bone pin a bow and a cushion stone B A copper knife and two gold earrings C Two pots arrows and materials to make arrows D some chicken and grains 57 The man buried in the grave might be at that time A A poor man B a kind hearted man C a rich man

Stonehenge was built through several ages D Stonehenge was built because of war B B In Jurassic Park DNA was used to clone dinosaurs which was kept for tens of millions of years The scientists find trouble however when they realize that the cloned creatures are smarter and more dangerous than expected That s nothing more than a fiction But could we really clone endangered animals To date the most successful attempt to do so was the cloning of a gaur a rare ox like animal from southeast Asia Scientists used a cow to bring the cloned baby gaur named Noah Two days after birth however Noah died from a common bacterial infection Other endangered species that may be cloned include the African bongo antelope 邦戈羚羊 the Sumatran tiger the cheetah 猎豹 and the giant panda Next could we really clone extinct animals In theory Yes To do this you need a well kept source of DNA from the extinct animals such as wool mammoth 毛象 Tasmanian tiger or even dinosaur and a closely related species still living which could serve as a surrogate mother In reality Probably not On the one hand it s not likely that extinct animals DNA could survive undamaged for such a long time Cloning extinct animals as wool mammoth Tasmanian tiger or dinosaur is much more difficult due to the lack of properly well preserved DNA On the other hand for example a gaur can have a cow as a surrogate mother definitely not a monkey But what about an extinct animals as unique as the panda What species could possibly serve as a surrogate mother Cloning presents many exciting possibilities However even if extinct animals are brought back they could not survive in today s world Not only do most extinct animals have no habitat to live in but the other plants and animals they depended on for food may 3 also be gone as well 60 It can be learned from the text that A scientists have cloned the African bongo antelope B both the cheetah and the giant panda live in Asia C the gaur lives in Asia and is endangered D the gaur is an extinct species 61 The underlined words a surrogate mother probably refer to a female who A contributes its eggs to another female B gives birth to a baby for another female C gives birth to a baby of its own D cannot give birth to a baby 62 The difficulty in cloning an extinct species is the lack of A both the well preserved DNA and plants to live on B both the habitat to live in and the well preserved DNA C both habitat to live in and plants to live on D both the well preserved DNA and a surrogate mother 63 In the author s opinion it is possible that A some extinct species may be cloned but not survive B extinct species may be cloned and easily survive C a gaur can have a monkey as a surrogate mother D all the extinct species may be cloned C C Post Login Register Support
