Module 5 Cloning 单元小结The most famous horror film Frankenstein is a scifi story. It describes a young scientist Frankenstein, an imaginary character, created a creature which is identical to a human being. However, the final result is incredible. The creatures black hair and white teeth contrasts horribly with his wrinkled yellow skin and black lips. It terrifies everyone who sees him. For Frankenstein, the nightmares began. When the monster got refused, he murdered Frankensteins brother and his fiancee. The scientist chased the monster and wanted to kill him again and again. In the end, the monster threw himself on the ice in the Arctic and disappeared. In this film, Frankenstein created the creature using the technique cloning.Now the science of genetics and cloning is very popular. In 1996, the cloned animal Dolly the sheep was born. The world treated it as a miracle. Since then, many animals have been cloned.Some scientists are trying to clone humans, which is controversial. The contradictory opinions are as follows: Those for the idea of cloning humans think we can rely on the clone to resist or cure the diseases. Those against the idea think cloning will restrict the biodiversity of the breed. More problems arise. For example, how to deal with the relationship between the clone and the original?Whether cloning will be beneficial or harmful to human beings is unknown. To avoid getting out of control, compulsory government regulations which control cloning will have to made.最著名的恐怖电影弗兰肯斯坦是一个科幻故事。它讲述了一个虚构的人物年轻的科学家弗兰肯斯坦,创造了一个和人一样的生物的故事。然而,最后的结果令人难以置信。这个生物的黑色的头发、白色的牙与他布满皱纹的黄色皮肤以及黑色嘴唇形成了可怕的对比。它吓坏了见过他的每个人。对弗兰肯斯坦来说,噩梦开始了。当这个怪物被拒绝时,他谋杀了弗兰肯斯坦的兄弟和未婚妻。这位科学家追赶怪物,一次又一次地想杀害他。最后,这个怪物扑倒在北极的冰上消失了。在这部电影里,弗兰肯斯坦用克隆技术创造了这个生物。现在遗传学和克隆很流行。1996年,克隆羊多利诞生。世人把它看作一个奇迹。从那以后,许多动物就被克隆出来了。一些科学家正试图克隆人类,这是有争议的。对立的观点如下:那些支持克隆人类的人认为,我们可以依靠克隆体抵抗或治愈疾病。那些反对的人认为,克隆将限制物种的多样性。更多的问题出现了,比如,如何处理克隆体与原体的关系?克隆对人类有益还是有害还不清楚。为了避免失去控制,强制性的政府控制克隆的法规将不得不制定出来。加餐练(一)完形阅读组合练.完形填空My StoryThe long journey to clone my two beloved dogs began about fifteen years ago.It was the year 2000 and my life was _1_.
