A
China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, scientists said on Thursday. By December 2017 , the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(猕猴) named“Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua”by nuclear transferring of body cells—any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells. This was the similar technology used to create the famous clone sheep Dolly in 1996.
Telra, a monkey born in 1999 , is the world’s first ever-cloned monkey, but it was done using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分裂)，and cannot be genetically modified to suit experimental needs, said Pu Muming, a leading researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Cloning a monkey using body cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类)that shares its genetic makeup, therefore all of its complexity, with humans, he said.
For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly, bad for the environment and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes, Pu said.
By cloning monkey using body cells, we can mass reproduce a large number of genetically identical monkeys in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs, he added. “This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.”
Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different.
Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans. This achievement will help China lead the world research in an international science project related to study of primate brains.
1、Which description of the two clone macaques is true?
A．They were the first monkeys ever-cloned in the world.
B．They were created using reproductive cells.
C．They would be fed to suit experimental needs.
D．The technology used to create them was similar to that of creating Dolly.
2、The underlined word in the fourth paragraph is closest to “ ”in meaning.
A．same
B．similar
C．relevant
D．close
3、What can be learned from the passage?
A．Pu Muming and Sun Qiang were doing most work in cloning the two macaques.
B．Genetic research on monkeys can be seen as effective as that on humans.

C．Most drug trials have been done on mice because mice share the same genetic makeup and complexity with humans.
D．Scientists can mass reproduce cloned monkeys to cut down experiment costs.
4、This passage above can be most probably read in
A．a science magazine
B．a guidebook
C．a science fiction
D．a brochure

B
Every year from March to October, Christian Moullec, also known as “Birdman,” takes to the skies aboard his adapted light aircraft. However, the 58-year-old Frenchman’s daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks (鸟群) of lesser whitefronted geese (小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.
His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.
However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.
To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.
He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “It's a disaster,” he said. “My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story. ”
1、Why does “Birdman” always fly to the sky on his aircraft?
A．To observe geese along their migration routes.
B．To follow geese through safe migration paths.
C．To take visitors to operate his adapted aircraft.
D．To guide geese fly safely during the migration.
2、What do we know about “Birdman”？
A．He is a nature lover. B．He is a bird watcher.
C．He is a volunteer pilot. D．He is a bird hunter.
3、What does Moullec often take photos in his flights for?
A．Recording the use of agricultural chemicals.
B．Showing serious damage caused by chemicals.
C．Describing his experiences with flying birds.
D．Capturing the beautiful views of birds and cities.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Birdman Guides Flocks to Learn to Fly.
B．Birdman Finds Birds Disappearing.
C．Birdman Helps Flocks Safely Migrate.
D．Birdman Protects Birds From Hunters.
