  李迪字复古,其先赵郡人。曾祖避五代乱,徙家濮。迪深厚有器局,尝携其所为文见柳开,开奇之,曰:“公辅才也。”举进士第一,擢知制诰。真宗幸亳,为留守判官,遂知亳州。亡卒群剽城邑,发兵捕之,久不得。迪至,悉罢所发兵,阴听察知贼区处,部勒骁锐士,擒贼,斩以徇。
  尝归沐,忽传诏对内东门,出三司使马元方所上岁出入材用数以示迪。时频岁蝗旱,问何以济,迪请发内藏库以佐国用,则赋敛宽,民不劳矣。帝曰:“朕欲用李士衡代元方,俟其至,当出金帛数百万借三司。”迪曰:“天子于财无内外,愿下诏赐三司,以示恩德,何必曰借。”帝悦。
  初,上将立章献后,迪屡上疏谏,以章献起于寒微,不可母天下,章献深衔之。天禧中,拜给事中。周怀政之诛,帝怒甚,欲责及太子,群臣莫敢言。迪从容奏曰:“陛下有几子,乃欲为此计。”上大寤,由是独诛怀政。
  仁宗即位,章献太后预政,贬寇准雷州,以迪朋党傅会,贬衡州。丁谓使人迫之,谓败,知河南府。来朝京师,时太后垂帘,语迪曰:“卿向不欲吾预国事,殆过矣。今日吾保养天子至此,卿以为何如?”迪对曰:“臣受先帝厚恩,今日见天子明圣,臣不知皇太后盛德,乃至于此。”太后亦喜。
  知徐州,迪欲行县因祠岳为上祈年,仁宗语辅臣曰:“祈祷非迪所宜,其毋令往。”元昊攻延州,武事久弛,守将或为他名以避兵,迪愿守边,诏不许,然甚壮其意。
  李迪贤相也。方仁宗初立,章献临朝,颇挟其才,将有专制之患。迪正色危言,能使宦官近习不敢窥觎,而仁宗君德日就,章献亦全令名,古人所谓社稷臣于斯见之。(选自《宋史·李迪传》,有删改)

The topic of cloning has been a politically and ethically controversial one since its very beginning. While the moral and philosophical aspects of the issues are entirely up to the interpretation of the individual, the application of cloning technology can be studied objectively. Many in the scientific community advocate the use of cloning for the preservation and support of endangered species of animals, which aside from cloning, have no other practical hope for avoiding extinction.

The goal of the use of cloning to avoid extinction is the reintroduction of new genes into the gene pool of species with few survivors, ensuring the maintenance and expansion of genetic diversity. Likely candidates for this technique are species known to have very few surviving members, such as the African Bongo Antelope, the Sumatran Tiger, and the Chinese Giant Panda. In the case of Giant Panda, some artificial techniques for creating offspring have already been performed, perhaps paving the way for cloning as the next step in the process.

With the estimated population of only about 1000 Giant Pandas left in the world, the urgency of the situation has led to desperate measures. One panda was born through the technique of artificial insemination in the San Diego Zoo in the United States. "Hua Mei" was born in 1999 after her parents, Hsing-Hsing and Ling-Ling, had trouble conceiving naturally.

The plan to increase the Giant Panda population through the use of cloning involves the use of a species related to the Giant Panda, the American Black Bear. Egg cells will be removed from female black bears and then fertilized with Panda cells such as those from Ling-Ling or Hsing-Hsing. The fertilized embryo will then re-implanted into the black bear, where it will grow and mature, until a new panda is delivered from the black bear host.

Critics of cloning technology argue that the emphasis on cloning as a method by which to preserve species will draw funding away from other methods, such as habitat preservation and conservation. Proponents of cloning counter that many countries in which many endangered species exist are too poor to protect and maintain the species’ habitats anyway, making cloning technology the only practical way to ensure that those species survive to future generations. The issue is still hotly debated, as both sides weigh the benefits that could be achieved against the risks and ethical concerns that constantly accompany any argument on the issue. (402 words)

Notes: ethically 道德上。gene pool 基因库。insemination n.受精。fertilize 使受精。embryo 胚胎。proponent支持者,拥护者。weigh A against B权衡A和B的利弊。

The main purpose of the last paragraph is to()

A. argue in favor of one side on a particularly controversial topic of cloning

B. display both sides’ arguments on another contentious issue in cloning

C. redirect the readers’ attention to the previously raised issue of ethics in cloning

D. provide further relevant information to the evaluation of cloning as a preservation technique
