题目内容
4.Discoveries about the nature of DNA in the 1940s made (61)it possible for cloning experiments to progress.In 1944the discovery (62)that genetic information for each cell was kept in the cell's DNA gave scientists new ways to attempt (63)to clone (clone) animals.The first cloned animal was a tadpole (64)which/that was cloned in 1952.Thomas J.King and Robert W.Briggs believed,based on their clones,that young cells were more viable (可生长发育的) for the cloning process than adult cells.
The next successful cloning experiments also resulted (65)in cloned frogs.John Gurdon cloned South African frogs in 1962.His experiments proved that the previous theory that adult cells were (66)unable (able) to be used in the cloning process was wrong.From 1962to 1965,more frog clones were created from adult frog cells.
While animal cloning had been the focus of cloning experiments,the 1960s also saw (67)other types of cloning.In 1964F.C.Steward (68)undertook (undertake) an experiment in which he took an adult cell from a carrot plant and successfully cloned the plant.
So far more than 20different animals,(69)including (include) dogs,cats,and the famous Dolly,have been cloned,(70)but human cloning research has been forbidden in many countries.
分析 本文主要讲述DNA发现之后,给动物克隆提供了新方法.从1952年开始,到现在已经克隆了二十多种不同的动物.但人类的克隆在许多国家还是禁止的.
解答 61.it 考查it用法.it是形容宾语,真正的宾语是for cloning experiments to progress.
62.that 考查连词.句子genetic information for each cell was kept in the cell's DNA是完整的,用that引导的从句作discovery的同位语.
63.to clone 考查动词不定式.attempt后可接不定式,也可接介词短语作后置宾语.
64.which/that 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词 tadpole在从句中作主语,用关系代词which/that.
65.in 考查介词.result in意为"引起,导致",是固定搭配.
66.unable 考查形容词.根据句意:成熟的细胞不能用在克隆过程中的理论是错的.用unable.
67.other 考查形容词.根据句意:在20世纪60年代,我们也看到了其它种类的克隆.用other.
68.undertook 考查动词时态.根据时间状语in 1964,用一般过去时.
69.including 考查现在分词.animals与include之间是主谓关系,用现在分词作状语.
70.but 考查连词.前后两个单句之间是转折关系,用连词but.
