During the Ice Age, the mammths(猛犸象) lived bth in Asia and America. But by abut 4,000 years ag, the large and hairy elephants had disappeared.
Sme scientists want t clne (克隆) a mammth, and the first need is sme mammth DNA. Since 1900s, scientists have been digging(挖) up remains (残骸)f mammths in the cld grund. Sme still even have their skin and hair. Unluckily, even when it's frzen, DNA still can’t be kept very well. It starts t break apart sn after an animal dies. Scientists have fund plenty f mammth DNA, but it's all just shrt bits(零碎)and in a mess.
Mdern Asian elephants are cusins f the ancient mammths. Their DNA is abut 99% the same. Still, that adds up t 70 millin differences. But if we culd change the elephant’s DNA in the places that are different culd we make mammth DNA? Sme researchers at Harvard are giving it a try.

Wh wuld teach it hw t be a mammth? There are imprtant questins fr trying t bring back any disappeared creature. Clning is expensive and ften fails. Wuld the mney be better spent n saving endangered animals that are still alive?

45. Which f the fllwing is true abut mammths?
A. They still lived n the Earth 400 years ag.
B. They lked the same as tday’s elephants.
C. They lived bth in Africa and Asia.
D. They were larger and strnger than tday's Asian elephants.
46. What can we learn frm the third paragraph?
A. There are lts f differences f DNA between mammths and mdern Asian elephants.
B. The scientists at Harvard have already clned a mammth.
C. It is nt easy t clne a disappeared animal thugh their DNA is clse t sme animals.
D. The scientists are ging t put the DNA f standing cld in anther animal.

During the Ice Age, the mammths(猛犸象) lived bth in Asia and America. But by abut 4,000 years ag, the large and hairy elephants had disappeared.
Sme scientists want t clne (克隆) a mammth, and the first need is sme mammth DNA. Since 1900s, scientists have been digging(挖) up remains (残骸)f mammths in the cld grund. Sme still even have their skin and hair. Unluckily, even when it's frzen, DNA still can’t be kept very well. It starts t break apart sn after an animal dies. Scientists have fund plenty f mammth DNA, but it's all just shrt bits(零碎)and in a mess.
Mdern Asian elephants are cusins f the ancient mammths. Their DNA is abut 99% the same. Still, that adds up t 70 millin differences. But if we culd change the elephant’s DNA in the places that are different culd we make mammth DNA? Sme researchers at Harvard are giving it a try.

B. They lked the same as tday’s elephants.
C. They lived bth in Africa and Asia.
D. They were larger and strnger than tday's Asian elephants.
46. What can we learn frm the third paragraph?
A. There are lts f differences f DNA between mammths and mdern Asian elephants.
B. The scientists at Harvard have already clned a mammth.
C. It is nt easy t clne a disappeared animal thugh their DNA is clse t sme animals.
D. The scientists are ging t put the DNA f standing cld in anther animal.
