I think most of you must know something about space traveling, submarine exploration, robot, maglev train, gene engineering etc. But in recent years, a hot topic, cloning is often mentioned, especially when the cloning Dolly the sheep appeared. You may have first heard of cloning when Dolly the Sheep showed up on the scene in 1997. Cloning technologies have been around for much longer than Dolly, though.First things first, what is cloning and a clone? The dictionary says cloning is the technique of producing a genetically identical duplicate of an organism. A clone is said to be all descendants derived asexually from a single individual, as by cuttings, bulbs, by fission, by mitosis, or by parthenogenesis reproduction. In fact, in our daily life, this happens often. For example, gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones. You often see that your mother picks a small branch from a growing plant to make a new one. If she likes this kind of flowers, she can do cloning. Cloning also happens in animals or human beings when twins identical in sex and appearance are produced from thesame original egg.Discussion 1. Do you want to be cloned or not? Why?2.Can you tell me the advantages of cloning?3.And what is the disadvantage?二:Look at picturesLook at the pictures and discuss which ones are natural clones and which ones are man 一made.

Italso happens in animals when twins identical in sex and appearance are produced from the same original egg.3.It can help cure disease and can help couples who have no baby to bear a new baby.4.There may be more bad people like Hitler.5.In my opinion, I do not agree, for it may cause many moral problems.6.No. Because cloned human has the same quality as the real human, natural born baby's quality is higher than his parents.7.No. The cloned baby also has the disease.Step III Fast- readingHave you not the answers of your questions?

人教版高中英语选修8Unit2《Cloning》word教案

人教版高中英语选修8Unit2《Cloning》word教案【美文阅读】Pandas can be saved by cloning?从1998年中国科学院动物研究所首席科学家、动物克隆与受精生物学学科带头人陈大元首次正式提出克隆大熊猫到现在,整整16年过去了,陈老仍旧执著于此。

然而爱护大熊猫,怎么说要不要通过克隆的方式呢?China has been exploring every possible means of saving giant pandas,one of the world's most endangered species,from becoming extinct,even if it means resorting to(诉诸) cloning them.Chen Dayuan,a senior scientist who specializes in cloning at the Institute of Zoology in the Chinese Academy of Sciences,introduced the idea of performing cloning techniques on giant pandas in 1998.Using initial funding of 100,000 yuan,Chen successfully produced blastocysts(胚泡) by transplanting the somatic nucleus from sample pandas into the egg cells of rabbits.The move was considered as one of the 10 biggest achievements of science and technology in 1999.It won an award of 6 million yuan and further funding of 5 million yuan for the project from the Ministry of Science and Technology.At first,two embryos were created from a surrogate mother(代母) cat who became pregnant after being in­jected with a blastocyst,but the experiment was abandoned after the cat died.Chen and his team then experimented with surrogacy on black bears.After three years of effort,a black bear became pregnant and the shape of a fetus(胎儿) could be seen on an ultrasound scan(超声波扫描检查).However,the research was stopped in 2005 because the fetus did not completely develop before the project's deadline.“Those who are against cloning have made their voice s heard throughout the research project on cloning giant pandas.Some people believe cloning goes against nature,but it is actually a pioneering technology.If successful,it is a way tosave endangered animals,”Chen said.Some scientists take a different vie w.“While I agree that research on cloning is meaningful,it is inappropriate to use giant pandas in this type of experiment.The number of pandas is limited and human beings have yet to master knowledge about pandas' pregnancy.Cloning would do little to save the species,”said Wang Dajun,a researcher at the School of Life Sciences,Peking University.In response,Chen said that he would continue his research.【诱思导学】1.Do you think pandas can be saved by cloning?Why?______________________________________________【答案】省略2.Why are some scientists against cloning pandas?______________________________________________【答案】Because they think cloning go against nature.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时要紧是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习,了解本课文中所显现的词汇,初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识,为下一堂课对课文的全面明白得起到一个铺垫作用。
