答案以及解析

1.答案：1-4CBAC

解析：1.推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句Nowsomeverysmartscientistsareworkingonawayto

revive,notdinosaurs,butotherextinctspecies...可知，作者提到《侏罗纪公园》这部电影是为了引出”

是否应该复活灭绝物种”的话题，故选C项。

2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的…wearenotgoingtobeabletocontrolhowtheywillevolveinthe

future.可知,作者用兔子被引入澳大利亚后造成了一场大灾难的例子来告诉我们,生态很复杂，复活

灭绝的生物是很不明智的,故选B项。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的Whenthesepoorcreatureswerereleasedintothewild,theyhadan

unnaturallikingforhumans.Theydidn'tbehavethewaytheyshouldhave,forcondors.可知，对于大秃鹰

来说,它们的行为不像正常状态,故选A项。

4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知I,本文以”是否应该让灭绝的动物复活?”为话
