officials have been punished and a man arrested for presenting false evidence to prove the highly endangered South China tiger existed in the wild.The Shaanxi provincial government said Sunday that farmer Zhou Zhenglong had fudged some photographs for the purpose.The government had earlier claimed the photos were real.The 54yearold farmer from Zhenping county，who claimed to have photographed the “tiger” with a digital camera on October 3 last year，was arrested for alleged fraud on Saturday，said Bai Shaokang，spokesman for the Shaanxi provincial public security bureau.The provincial forestry department has revoked(取消，收回)his 20,000yuan reward($2,915)too.Experts believe the South China tiger is the progenitor of all the living tiger species.Its number in the wild had fallen between 30 and 80 by 1996.Now，it is widely believed to have become extinct in the wild.Bai said police have seized the old tiger photograph，which Zhou borrowed from a farmer in another village in September to fudge his photos.A tiger paw made of wood，which he used to create pug marks on snow，has been seized too.Zhou had insisted that he “risked his life to take the photos of a real tiger”Police have found the exact spot where Zhou took the photos.It is in Madaozi forest,15 km from Wencai village in Zhenping，and is 2,000 m above the sea level，Bai said.“It is a small area with few tall trees not a suitable habitat for a tiger.”Police discovered that “trees” near the South China tiger in Zhous photograph were just 0.8 cm in diameter.And calculations showed the “tiger” would have been only 27cm long.36Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?AA lot of people are involved in presenting evidence to prove the tiger has been extinct.BThe local government had accepted the photos and claimed they were real.CThe South China tiger is the progenitor of all the tiger species.DThe spot where Zhou took the photos is a suitable habitat for a tiger.答案B解析细节理解题。由文中第一句“Thirteen government officials.”可知A项错误；由第二段最后一句“The government had earlier.”可知B项正确。C项和原文相比较缺少了关键词“living”，而D项漏掉了“not”，因此C、D两项皆错。37The underlined word “fudge” means_.A捏造，伪造 B拍照C制造 D计划答案A解析考查文章的隐含信息。由华南虎的照片竟然是假的这一中心内容来推测句中的“fudeg”词义，可知A项为最佳选项。38Which of the following is the best title for this passage?AShots of tiger in the world is not realBZhou and his “tiger”CThe South China tiger is extinctDHow did Zhou fudge some photos答案A解析考查文章的整体信息。文章主要论述了华南虎照片为假这一事实，故A项正确。“in the world”意为“竟然”，B、C、D三项所陈述的内容比原文小，故不选。39How many people are involved in the case according to the passage?A13 B14 C15 D16答案B解析由文中第一段“Thirteen government officials have been punished and a man arrested.”可知B项正确。BIf something happens that makes you feel angry，try these things to help prevent angry

science fictionLONDONScientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating：move it to a cooler spot.All you have to do is send a few comets(彗星)in the direction of Earth，and its orbit will be changed.Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer，colder part of the solar system.This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) engineers and American astronomers.They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planeteffectively doubling its working life.The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin，and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams，needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.“Earths orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun，”Laughlin said.Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn.The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets.Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth，and the process would be repeated.In the short term，the plan provides an ideal way to global warming，although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger.The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)by cooking us.Thats why the group decided to try to save Earth.The plan has one or two worrying aspects，however.For a start，space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth.The smallest miscalculation(误算)in orbit could fire it straight at Earthwith deadly consequences.There is also the question of the Moon.As the current issue of Scientific American magazine points out，if Earth was pushed out of its current position it is “most likely the Moon would be stripped away from Earth，” it states.This would greatly change our planets climate.44What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?AA few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.BEarths working life is coming to an end soon.CEarth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.DThe moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.答案C解析文章首句说科学家们找到了一种非同寻常的办法防止地球过热，第六段又说该计划提供了解决地球变暖问题的理想办法，但科学家们真正关心的是更大的危险：大约十亿年以后太阳肯定会更炙热，以至于将人类化为灰烬。45If the plan is successful，Earth will have a working life of_years.A12 billion B6 billionC18 billion D24 billion答案A解析据文章第二段末句可知答案。注意关键词语：another six billion years，doubling its working life。46What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?AThe comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon.BEarth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death.CThe comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.DEarths working life might be greatly shortened.答案A解析最后两段分别指出该计划可能带来的两大恶果：一是万一轨道计算出错会使被控星体撞向地球，二是地球脱离原轨道后很可能会失去月球，从而导致气候巨变。47What does the underlined word “compromise” mean?Aprovide BbenefitCshare Dendanger答案D解析本题可用排除法排除不符合文意的答案。全句意为：大约十亿年以后阳光肯定会更加炙热，从而严重损害地球的生态环境把人类烤为灰烬！DWe have known for some time that college students coming from Japan and Taiwan to study in the United States do better than their American peers(同龄人)in maths and science.These general impressions of Asian superiority(优势)in mathematics and science were proved by studies were made in the late 1960s and early 1970s.In these studies，the average score of American kindergarteners was below those from Japan.In first grade the difference increased，and by fifth grade it was very large.Moreover,60 fifth grade classes in Japan，Taiwan，and the United States were compared in mathematics.The average score of the highest scoring American classroom was below that of all the Japanese classrooms and all but one of the Chinese classrooms.Why is this so？Are the Asian students born smarter？A series of studies in 1986 and 1987 raised these questions，and their findings seem to point the American and Asian school systems have certain features in common.But the differences are striking.Test scores on nationwide examinations determine entry into high school and college in both Japan and Taiwan，but not in the United States.Career paths too are more closely linked to educational achievements in Japan and Taiwan.As a result，far more pressure is given to even very young children to study hard and succeed in school in both Japan and Taiwan than those in the United States.These are also striking differences in classro
