本文说明了在克隆灭绝动物的过程中遇到的重重困难与障碍。

即使克隆成功了，其赖以生存的栖息地和食物链也已经被破坏，被克隆出来的动物也无法继续生存下去。

A．givesbirthtoababyofitsown

B．cannotgivebirthtoababy

C．givesbirthtoababyforanotherfemale

D．providesDNA

选C　词义猜测题。

根据第五段的描述可知，此处表示的是，把一种动物的DNA提取出来之后，在另外一种动物的体内进行胚胎繁殖，而这种动物就被称为asurrogatemother，由此判断，画线部分意思为“代孕妈妈”，故C项正确。

3．Thedifficultyincloninganextinctspeciesisthelackof________.

A．boththewellpreservedDNAandasurrogatemother

B．boththehabitattoliveinandthewellpreservedDNA

C．boththewellpreservedDNAandplantstoliveon

根据文章倒数第二段中的“Ontheonehand...Ontheotherhand...”两个方面的表述可知，克隆的困难在于一是要寻找灭绝动物的保存完好的DNA，二是要寻找到合适的代孕的物种，故A项正确。

4．Intheauthor'

A．alltheextinctspeciesmaybecloned

B．extinctspeciesmaybeclonedandeasilysurvive

选D　推理判断题。

本文作者客观叙述了在克隆灭绝动物过程中所存在的种种困难与障碍。

根据最后一段的表述可知，也许克隆存在众多的可能性，但是即使克隆成功了，也许会由于其赖以生存的栖息地和食物链已经灭绝而无法继续存活下去。

由此判断D项正确。
