34、ing near Stonehenge last year discovered the remains of a large prehistoric village where they think the builders of the mysterious stone circle used to live. The village is about 4,600 years old, the same age as Stonehenge and as old as the pyramids in Egypt. It is less than two miles from the famo

35、us ancient landmark and lies inside a massive man-made circular dirt wall, or "henge", known as the Durrington Walls. Remains found at the site included jewelry, stone arrowheads, tools made of deer antlers, wooden spears and huge amounts of animal bones and broken pottery'. "Thes

36、e finds suggest Stone Age people went to the village at special times of the year to feast and party", says Mike Parker-Pearson from Sheffield University in England. He said many of the pig bones they found had been thrown away half-eaten. He also said the partygoers appeared to have shot some

37、of the farm pigs with arrows, possibly as a kind of sport before barbecuing them. An ancient road which led from the village to the River Avon was also found. Here, the experts think, people came 'after their parties to throw dead relatives in the water so the bodies would be washed downstream t

38、o Stonehenge. Parker-Pearson believes Stonehenge was like a cemetery where ancient Britons buried the dead and remembered their ancestors. "The theory is that Stonehenge is a kind of spirit home to the ancestors." The recent discovery of the village within the Durrington Walls shows that S

39、tonehenge didn't stand alone but was part of a much bigger religious site, according to Parker-Pearson. People still come to worship and celebrate at Stonehenge today.

43、cessfully transferred them into monkey mothers. Although none of the resulting pregnancies lasted more than a month, this is by far the closest scientists have come to cloning a primate.The study was unveiled yesterday by reproductive biologist Gerald Schatten of the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsy

44、lvania, at the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Philadelphia. Schatten's group copied a technique used earlier this year to clone a human embryo and extract embryonic stem cells.If researchers are able to repeat this process in monkeys, it might help them to re

45、fine the tricky technique without experimenting on human eggs and embryos, which are very difficult to obtain and raise a host of ethical objections. This in turn might help to resolve whether human embryonic stem cells, which can grow into a variety of tissues, will prove useful in medicine.In the

46、Korean work, the cloned human embryos were allowed to divide in culture for just five or six days before being terminated. But, by adopting the Koreans' technique, Schatten's team made 135 cloned monkey embryos and transferred them into 25 mothers. Schatten says he is not yet sure why the Ko

47、rean method is so successful. Rather than sucking the nucleus out of the recipient eggs, the technique involves gently squeezing it out. This may remove less of the cell's cytoplasm and leave more of the essential molecules needed by the egg to direct embryo development; or it may simply cause l

48、ess damage to the eggs. None of the cloned monkey embryos resulted in a pregnancy that lasted more than a month. But Schatten says it is too early to say whether cloned monkeys will ever be born; it may just take more attempts. It is also impossible, he says, to use these results to predict whether

49、a cloned human baby could survive long in development. But at least his study confirms that the Korean cloning method works, something that has been difficult to prove because very few research groups work in such areas.68.

A cloned human baby could survive longer than cloned monkey embryos. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中

52、有两项为多余选项。Obtaining fresh water from icebergsThe idea of getting fresh water from icebergs that are moved to populated areas or places was once treated as a joke.
