With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone (克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物種). 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（氮）. If certain species should become extinct , Dr. Duane Kraemar, a professor in Texas A&M University 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(核子移植) 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 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.”

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

Ａccording to Professor Kraemer , the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.

A. available panda eggs           B. host animals

C. qualified researchers           D. enough money

The best title for the passage may be ______.

A. China’s Success in Panda Cloning

B. The First Cloned Panda in the World

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

D. China---the Native Place of Pandas Forever

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different sense, to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses. while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda (大熊貓) eats only one particular type of bamboo (竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly (蝴蝶) will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet (多樣化飲食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health, Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

We can infer from the text that humans and animals - —.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food       B. are not satisfied with their food

C. choose food in similar ways       D. eat entirely different food

Which of the following eats only one type of food?

A. The white butterfly.    B. The small bird.     C. The bear.    D. The fox.

Certain animals change their choice of food when _________

A. the season changes       B. the food color changes

C. they move to different places       D. they are attracted by different smells

Thailand’s giant pandas have finally produced a baby. Chiang Mai zoo director Thanapath said eight-year-old female Lin Hui gave birth to a baby panda weighing about 200 grams.
The pandas, Lin Hui and Chuang Chuang, the zoo’s star residents(居民), had shown no interest in reproducing the traditional way since they both arrived on a 10-year loan from China in 2003. The zoo workers’ effort of artificial insemination(人工授精) worked. The baby panda will officially belong to China but Thailand will raise it for about 24 months, Thanapath said.
Thanapath said Lin Hui is very protective of her child and won’t allow any officials to get close. “She holds the baby very carefully.” he said. “She knows how to be a mother even though she has never been one before.” The baby panda appears to be getting along well with its much larger mother.
The birth appeared on the front pages of many Thai newspapers, which carried photos of the baby which is so tiny that it can be held in the hands of a zoo keeper. Other pictures showed the mother Lin Hui gently holding her baby. Thanapath said, “It is great happiness to see the baby panda.We are so happy that we can breed（繁殖）a panda. Every worker at the zoo is proud and I think every Thai will be proud too.”
Breeding pandas is a common practice in China, where dozens are born each year. But it is a rare thing outside of the country. Giant pandas are among the world’s most endangered animals. Nearly 1,600 pandas are believed to survive in China and about 180 are being raised in zoos worldwide.

A. are regarded as the best residents
B. arrived in Thailand four years ago
C. had a baby panda in the traditional way
D. are very popular in the zoo in Thailand
42. The baby panda that Lin Hui gave birht to ______________.
A. will be sent to China in two years        B. is her second baby
C. weighs about one kilogram             D. will stay in Thailand for ten years
43. From Paragraph 3 we learn that Lin Hui_______________.
A. doesn’t know how to protect her baby
B. allows people to touch her baby
C. loves her baby very much
D. always leaves her baby alone
44. We can infer that Lin Hui’s giving birth_________________.
A. set a good example to China          B. was hot news in Thailand
C. was a result of good luck             D. attracted the world’s attention
45. The fact that breeding pandas is a common practice in China indicates that_________________.
A. all pandas in the world should live in China
B. few countries in the world want to breed pandas
C. pandas won’t be in danger in the near future
D. China plays a leading role in breeding pandas
