Animal waste is becoming a treasure! Scientists have found a special way to use animal poop (粪便). They call their project "Poo Zoo". This project helps protect wild animals.
Animal poop has living cells (细胞). These cells have DNA, which gives us importantinformation for breeding programs and animal protection. This is very important as some wild animals are getting endangered.
Usually, getting a piece of wild animal skin for research is hard. People have to catch the animals and make them sleep. This not only takes a lot of time but can also do harm to the animals.
To help endangered animals, Professor Suzannah Williams from the University of Oxford in the UK created the “Poo Zoo” project. The idea is to collect living cells from animal poop and grow the cells in labs.
At first, the team tried many ways to collect the cells from the mouse poop while keeping them fresh. After they tried to improve their skills, scientists turned to elephant poop. They cleaned the poop carefully and took out the living cells.
Professor Williams said that the team had successfully collected live elephant cells many times. She hopes people use this method in the wild by looking for animal footprints and fur to find poop.
However, it’s difficult to make life from these living cells now. Poop has a lot of bacteria(细菌) so scientists need better ways to grow healthy cells. They need to learn more about animal reproduction to turn these cells into babies as well.

答案
1. called/named 根据第一段“They call their project 'Poo Zoo'.”可知科学家把这个项目叫做“便便动物园”;此处应用被动语态。故填called/named。
2. help 根据第一段“This project helps protect wild animals.”可知该项目的目的是保护野生动物。故填help。
3. importance 根据表格右侧的内容可知,此处介绍动物粪便对研究的重要性。故填importance。
4. number 根据第二段“This is very important as some wild animals are getting endangered.”可知一些野生动物正濒临灭绝,即数量快速下降;the number of表示“……的数量”。故填number。
5. easy/simple 根据第三段“Usually, getting a piece of wild animal skin for research is hard.”可知获取野生动物皮肤进行研究是困难的;hard=not easy/simple。故填easy/simple。
6. started/began 根据第五段“At first, the team tried many ways to collect the cells from the mouse poop while keeping them fresh.”可知团队最初尝试从老鼠粪便中收集细胞;start/begin with表示“开始于”,句子时态是一般过去时。故填started/began。
7. trying 根据第五段“After they tried to improve their skills, scientists turned to elephant poop.”可知在尝试改进技能后,科学家转向大象粪便;介词after后用动词-ing形式。故填trying。
8. before 根据最后一段“However, it's difficult to make life from these living cells now.”可知现在很难从活细胞中创造生命,由此可知在科学家能用活细胞培育生命之前还有很长的路要走。故填before。
9. because/as 根据最后一段“Poop has a lot of bacteria so scientists need better ways to grow healthy cells.”可知科学家需要更好的方法培育健康细胞,因为粪便含大量细菌;此处表
示原因。故填because/as。
10. also 根据最后一段“They need to learn more about animal reproduction to turn these cells into babies as well.”可知科学家也需要了解动物繁殖,以便将这些细胞培育成幼崽;as well=also“也”。故填also。
2. help 根据第一段“This project helps protect wild animals.”可知该项目的目的是保护野生动物。故填help。
3. importance 根据表格右侧的内容可知,此处介绍动物粪便对研究的重要性。故填importance。

解析
【分析】
这是一篇表格型任务型阅读填空题，解题时首先通读全文，理清文章介绍的“Poo Zoo”项目利用动物粪便提取活细胞来保护濒危野生动物的核心主旨。接下来逐空对照表格的句子，回到原文定位对应的细节句，先找到和空格语义匹配的原句内容，再结合空格前后的语法要求，比如被动语态、介词后接动名词、词性转换、同义替换等，调整词汇的正确形式，最终确定每个空的答案。
【解析】
1. 定位原文第一段"They call their project 'Poo Zoo'"，表格中本句主语是This project，项目是“被命名/被叫做”Poo Zoo，属于被动语态，结构为be+过去分词，因此填called/named。
2. 定位原文第一段"This project helps protect wild animals"，表格中不定式符号to后面接动词原形，语义为该项目的目的是帮助保护野生动物，因此填help。
3. 表格右侧内容全部在说明动物粪便用于研究的重要价值，此处需要填入名词对应主题，因此填importance。
4. 定位原文第二段"This is very important as some wild animals are getting endangered"，即部分野生动物的数量正在快速下降，固定搭配the number of表示“……的数量”，因此填number。
5. 定位原文第三段"Usually, getting a piece of wild animal skin for research is hard"，hard等同于not easy/not simple，表格中空前已有isn't，因此填easy/simple。
6. 定位原文第五段"At first, the team tried many ways to collect the cells from the mouse poop while keeping them fresh"，对应固定搭配start/begin with表示“以……着手、从……开始”，描述过去发生的动作使用一般过去时，动词用过去式，因此填started/began。
7. 定位原文第五段"After they tried to improve their skills, scientists turned to elephant poop"，表格中空前是介词After，介词后接动词需要变为动名词形式，因此填trying。
8. 定位原文最后一段"However, it’s difficult to make life from these living cells now"，语义为“在科学家能够用活细胞培育出生命之前，还有很长的路要走”，引导时间状语从句表示“在……之前”用before，因此填before。
9. 定位原文最后一段"Poop has a lot of bacteria so scientists need better ways to grow healthy cells"，表格中后半句是前半句“科学家需要更好的方式培育健康细胞”的原因，引导原因状语从句可用because/as，因此填because/as。
10. 定位原文最后一段"They need to learn more about animal reproduction to turn these cells into babies as well"，as well表示“也”，对应放在句中的also，因此填also。

【知识点】
任务型阅读，词形转换，同义替换
【点评】
本题是典型的表格类任务型阅读，既考查学生快速定位原文细节的信息提取能力，又兼顾了语法规则应用、同义短语转换的考点，多数空不能直接照搬原文原词，需要学生结合表格句式的语法要求对词汇进行变形或者同义改写，同学们做这类题时不能只匹配语义，还要额外检查空格前后的词性、时态、语态要求，避免出现形式错误丢分。
【难度系数】
