That's a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researcher has been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah's Ark”(诺亚方舟).Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine (兽医) and a pioneer in embryo(胚胎) transfer work and related procedures, says he salutes (致敬) the Chinese effort and “I wish them all thebest success possible. It's a worthwhile project, certainly not an easy one, and it's very much like what we're attempting here at Texas A&M—to save animals from extinction.”Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen(精子) and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen (液氮). If certain species should become extinct (绝种), Kraemer 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 (哺乳动物), birds and reptiles (爬行动物) will become extinct over the next 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 (种植) the embryo into a host animal.The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer (细胞核移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,”Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (妊娠). 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 Missyplicity Project at Texas A&M, the first ever attempt atcloning 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 applaud (赞同) 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.”1. The aim of “Noah's Ark”project is to _____.A.implant embryo into a host animalB.salute the Chinese efforts in saving pandasC.save endangered animals from extinctionD.introduce cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit2. How long will the Chinese panda cloning project take according to the passage?A.1 Year.B.3 to 5 years.C.2 years.D.25 years.3. The word “groundbreaking”(Paragraph 7) can be interpreted as _____.A.basicB.pioneeringC.evolutionaryD.significantD.Exploring the Possibility to Clone PandasPassage 2Research programs on flight-crew distractions have identified 34 different types of activities that have led to errors in the cockpit (驾驶舱). Ninety percent of these fall into one of three broad categories: communication, head-down work (精神过于集中), and responding to abnormal situations.A well-known example is the December 1972 crash of an Eastern Airlines on approach into Miami International airport. The crew was so busy looking at a landing gear light and did not notice that someone had turned off the autopilot by mistake.A review was made of reports of accidents caused by crew error. Nearly half involved a loss of attention because of interruptions, distractions or thinking about one task and forgetting others. Several ideas help crews to prevent errors. Conversation is a powerful distracter so it must be kept brief at critical moments. “Head-down” tasks greatly reduce the ability to monitor what the other pilot and the aircraft are doing, so one pilot must be clearly assigned to flying pilot-flying (PF) and one to non flying responsibilities pilot-not-flying (PNF). Vital tasks need to be scheduled so that they will not conflict with another vital task. When two important tasks must be performed at the same time, the pilots must set up a scan and avoid letting attention linger too long on either duty. They must treat interruptions as red flags.Research into the way the brain works shows that people can only perform two tasks at the same time in a few circumstances, even if they are skillful in performing e ach task separately. “Broadly speaking, humans have two mental systems with which they perform tasks,” they wrote. “One involves conscious control; the other is an automatic system that operates largely outside of conscious control.”Conscious control is required when the task is new, difficult or dangerous; when an automatic process must be put aside to prevent “habit capture” going back to an old habit because a new system must be followed.4. Which of the following is NOT the main reason for pilot’s di straction? _____A. Communication.B. Competing activities.C. Head-down work.D. Searching for responding to abnormal situations.5. The Miami accident in December 1972 was caused by _____.A. failure to notice a mis-operationB. a landing gearC. a lightD. the autopilot6. The researchers’ suggestion is to _____.A. recognize the distraction of conversation and head-down work.B. plan activities to avoid tasks all the same time and pay attention to tasksalternately when two do occur.C. treat interruptions as not allowed, and assign pilot-flying and pilot-not-flyingresponsibilities.D. all of the above.7. Which of the following is WRONG according to this passage? _____A. In most cases, humans can perform two tasks at the same time.B. Humans have two mental systems with which to perform tasks.C. One mental system is controlled by consciousnessD. The other operates out of the control of consciousness.8. When is conscious control required? _____A. When the task is new.B. When the task is critical, difficult or dangerous.C. When an automatic process must not be adopted in order to avoid habitcapture.D. All of the above.五、汉译英1.他走出航站楼,三位女服务员(waitress)就把他围了起来。
