Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre­reading 1．What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloning?2．Not only animals but also plants can be cloned. Do you know the difference between them?Please read the following passage to get the answer.A new study of plants that are reproduced by cloning has shown why cloned plants are not identical.Scientists have known for some time that cloned organisms are not always identical: their observable characteristics and traits can vary, and this variation can be passed on to the next generation. This is despite the fact that they are derived (获得) from genetically identical founder cells.Now, a team from Oxford University, the UK, and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia, believe they have found out why this is the case in plants: the genomes (染色体) of regenerate plants carry relatively high frequencies of new DNA sequence mutations (变异) that were not present in the genome of the donor plant.The team reported their findings in this week’s Current Biology.“Where these new mutations actually come from is still a mystery，” said Professor Harberd. “They may arise during the regeneration process itself or during the cell divisions in the donor plant that gave rise to the root cells from which the regenerate plants are created. We are planning further research to find out which of these two processes is responsible for these mutations. What we can sayis that nature has safely been employing what you might call a ’cloning’process in plants for millions of years, and that there must be good evolutionary reasons why these mutations are introduced.”The new results suggest that variation in clones of plants may have different underlying causes from those of variation in clones of animals — where it is believed that the effect of environmental factors on how animal genes are expressed is more important and no similar high frequencies of mutations have been observed.Professor Harberd said, “While our results highlight that cloned plants and animals are very different, they may give us insights into how bacterial and cancer cells replicate themselves, and how mutations arise during these processes which, ultimately, have an impact on human health.”Warming Up1．How much do are natural clone and man­made clone?Clone_is_a_way_of_making_an_exact_copy_of_another_animal_or_plant.Natural_clone_is_one_that_occurs_from_the_“parent”_in_a_natural_form_of_ cloning_without_human_help.Man­made_clone_is_one_produced_through_human_intervention_(介入)．2．Look at these pictures and tell which ones are natural clones and which ones are man­made clones.Natural_clones：AF；Man­made_clones：BCDE3．See another kind of clone.

Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre­readingDo you know Wilma Rudolph who is deaf and dumb? And what did she do to try to get over the difficulties? Please read the following passage to get the answers.They called her “the Black Pearl”，“the Black Gazelle”and “the fastest woman in the world”. In 1960, Wilma Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals in one Olympics. She was an extraordinary American athlete. She also did a lot to help young athletes succeed.Wilma Rudolph was born in 1940, in Saint Bethlehem, Tennessee. She was born too early and only weighed two kilograms. She had many illnesses when she was very young, including pneumonia and scarlet fever. She also had polio, which damaged her left leg. When she was six years old, she began to wear metal leg braces (支架) because she could not use that leg.Every week, Wilma's mother drove her to a special doctor 80 kilometers away. Here, she got physical treatments to help heal her leg. She later said, “My doctorstold me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.”Soon, her family's care showed results. By the time she was 9 years old, she no longer needed her leg braces. Wilma was very happy, because she could now run and play like other children. When she was 11 years old, her brothers set up a basketball hoop in the backyard. After that, she played basketball every day.Wilma Rudolph went to her first Olympic Games when she was 16 years old and still in high school. She was the youngest member of the United States team. She won a bronze medal in the sprint (短跑) relay event.In 1957, Wilma Rudolph started studying at Tennessee State University, where she joined the track team. She did very well at her track competitions against teams from other colleges. In 1960, she set the world record for the fastest time in the 200­meter event. She said，“I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.”That same year, Wilma Rudolph went to the Olympics again, this time in Rome, Italy. She won two gold medals in the 100­meter and the 200­meter races. She set a new Olympic record of 23.2 seconds for the 200­meter dash. Her team also won the gold medal in the 400­meter sprint relay event, setting a world record of 44.5 seconds. These three gold medals made her one of the most popular athletes at the Rome Games. These victories made people call her the “world's fastest woman”．Warming Up1．Look at the following pictures and fill in the blanks.(1)Tai Lihua, who is deaf and dumb, is well­received as a famous dancer throughout China.(2)Though blind,_Yang Guang is a young singer and a splendid mimic, who is good at imitating famous figures.(3)Stephen Hawking is one of the greatest scientists all over the world, who is suffering from a severe disease.(4)Zhang Haidi, recovering from a serious disease and getting paralyzed, now is a marvelous writer and translator in our country.2.What attitudes should we take towards the disabled?First of all, we should treat them as normal people and don't look down upon them.
