18、omers to his market. But not only did more people come those who came bought more.

34、ate and how a diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s.He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods

35、, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tilman says overweight people are at greater risk for noninfectious diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease.Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially

42、r, many animal species die out. They join the countless species that have gone extinct (灭绝的) over the course of the earths history and many people believe they disappear forever. _1_Now some scientists are focusing on the ability to bring back extinct species. This doesnt mean the plot of Jurassic P

43、ark is going to become a reality. The researchers need DNA to clone a species. _2_ Dinosaurs have been gone too long for any of their DNA to remain in fossils (化石)But theres a very real chance that we will be able to bring back more recently extinct species. _3_ In 2003, a team of Spanish and French

44、 scientists recreated the Pyrenean ibex, which had gone extinct three years earlier. The new animal didnt survive long, but scientific advances could improve the success rate. In January, Australian scientists announced that they were on their way to bringing back the gastric brooding frog.That we c

45、an bring species back doesnt mean that we should do that. There may be much benefit of reviving (使复生) a species, but theres no way to know how it will turn out. _4_ Or might it crowd out existing species? Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the h

46、ard work of traditional conservation._5_ If we can correct our mistake, why not use the chance to do that?

49、填一个承上启下的句子，故E项“然而，你可能需要重新定义永远了”符合语境。此外，E项中的“forever”也与空前句中的“forever”相呼应。2选A根据空前的“The researchers need DNA to clone a species.”可知，A项“DNA是一种携带着活着的生物的构造的化学物质”符合语境，解释说明了空前提及的“DNA”的概念。3选D根据空前的“. we will be able to bring back more recently extinct species.”可知，D项承接上文，进一步说明了可以被复活的物种的种类，表示“这甚至能包括像猛犸象一样的冰河时代的动物”。4选G根据空前的内容可知，人们没有办法知道复活这些物种的结果；结合空后的内容可知，空处应填一个对可能会导致的结果的推测，故G项“例如，旅鸽会适应它原来的栖息地吗？”符合语境。5选CC项中的“mistake”与空后句子中的“mistake”相呼应，故C项“然而，一些人争论说，一些动物的灭绝真的是我们的错”符合语境。
