17.Running like the wind,roaring like thunder,tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world.But last week a report said that there are no more than 30wild tigers left in south China.
This was the conclusion of a team of scientists from China's State Forestry Administration and the World Nature Fund.
The South China tiger,also known as the Chinese tiger,is native to southern China.In the 1950's,there were over 4000tigers found in mountain forests in the country.But due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting,it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species.
Sixty-six of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around China.But they are nothing like their wild cousins.They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing.If they were set free they could not look after themselves.
"Breeding has damaged the quality of the species",said Pei Enle,deputy director of the Shanghai Zoo.
To reintroduce the species into the wild,the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa.Four of them have already arrived.Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts(本能)and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base.
"South Africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild.The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in",said Lu Jun,office director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center."We tried in Fujian Province,but it was not successful as there was not a complete eco-chain(生物链) and there was a lack of space."
The tigers should return to China in 2007when the reservations in Fujian are ready.

71.What is the main reason for the South China tiger becoming one of the world's top ten most endangered species?D
A.Because it has lost its natural instincts.
B.Because there is not a complete eco-chain.
C.Because there is no space for it.
D.Because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions.
72.How is the programme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on?C
A.Its effect still remains to be seen.
B.Two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins.
C.Some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills.
D.The tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007.
73.By saying"but they are nothing like their wild cousins",the writer means thatB.
A.they are no longer feared by other wild animals
B.they don't know how to hunt or kill
C.a complete change has resulted in the species because of breeding
D.to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task
74.What is the purpose of sending young tigers to South Africa?A
A.To help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild.
B.To provide them with a better environment.
C.To get the tigers to go on a tour.
D.To find a complete eco-chain for them.
75.Which one is not the reason for South Africa being chosen as the training place?A
A.Because the tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base.
B.Because South Africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers.
C.Because there is a complete eco-chain and enough space there.
D.Because the country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in.

分析 本文叙述的是华南虎濒临灭绝的主要原因是栖息地遭到破坏并且捕猎行为没有得到控制,并讨论了如何保护华南虎及已经采取的措施.

解答 71-75  DCBAA
71.D 细节题.由第三段第三句"But due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting,it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species."可知,栖息地遭到破坏并且捕猎行为没有得到控制,是华南虎濒临灭绝的主要原因.故正确答案为D.
72.C 细节题.由第六段第三句"Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts(本能) and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base."可知,两只大一点的老虎已经恢复了一些捕食野生动物的本能.故正确答案为C.
73.B 细节题.题干中的句子出现在第四段第二句,由其后一句"They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing"可知这些饲养在动物园中的老虎并不像那些野生的老虎一样拥有狩猎或者猎杀的技能.故正确答案为B.
74.A 细节题.由第六段第一句"To reintroduce the species into the wild,the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa."可知,为让这些老虎重新学会野外生存的技能,中国启动了一个项目将老虎们送往南非.故正确答案为A.
75.A 细节题.B项,由倒数第二段第一句"South Africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild."可知,南非在帮助动物们恢复野性方面很有经验,所以B项是原因之一.C项,由倒数第二段最后一句"We tried in Fujian Province,but it was not successful as there was not a complete ecochain(生物链) and there was a lack of space."可知,福建没有成为培训基地的原因是那里没有完整的生物链也没有足够的空间,由此可推测南非被选为培训基地自然是能满足这两项要求的,所以C项是原因之一.D项,由倒数第二段第二句"The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in"可知D项是原因之一.唯独A项在文中并未提及,故正确答案为A.

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.

8.Where should an adventurous tourist go?After you've done sightseeing in London,shopping in New York,enjoyed the local food in Paris,and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian carnival,where else can you go?What attractive tourist destination awaits you?
Well,Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime!It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth.Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures.
Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small part.About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season,but many won't even leave the boat.
The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all,causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment.Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places,the accessible coastline,which is also where the penguins and seals go to raise.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled,tourism can be good for Antarctica.It has no native population and it needs advocates.Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation.And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming,which has led to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix,guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect(消毒)their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.
And once on land,there's no eating or smoking.Rocks,bone fragments-nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.
Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.

D.People will go to the coastline to play with the seals.
30.What are the guidelines when you go on the shore?D
A.You can leave rubbish on the shore.

5.It's often said that the eye is the window to the soul.But in this case,the eye is the window to Windows.At least,that was the goal when EyeTech Digital Systems got the help of some BYU engineering students in creating an all-in-one eye-tracking system.
The idea behind the project was to create an inexpensive computer system that could be controlled completely with a person's eyes.The hope was that this system could be used by people  with disabilities in parts of the world where they can't afford expensive eye-tracking systems.The students created the tablet(书写板)for their yearlong engineering project for their customer,EyeTech Digital Systems,an Arizona-based company that designs and develops eye-tracking software.
A separate BYU engineering team also worked with EyeTech last year to develop and improve the initial eye-tracking tephnology,but this year's focus was to put the eye tracking into a housing similar to a thick PC.The finished product runs Windows 7 and has the eye-tracking system built in.After a quick adjustment,the system can move the mouse to wherever the user is currently looking.All it takes is a blink(眨眼)to click.
Systems with similar abilities can cost upwards of 14,000.Butthestudentswereabletofindcheaper,readilyavailableparts,pushingthecostdowntounder1,500.Jedediah Nieveen,the captain for this year's team,said the project was a challenge,but one that was rewarding on many levels."A lot of times in school you just work problems out of books,"he said."But this allowed us to take what we learned and apply it to something in real life,something that can help a lot of people,and that's really helped me."
Although the primary purpose of the product is to help people with disabilities,the technology could also have broader applications in the fields of research,advertising and even gaming.

12.In its first ever National Building Competition,the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) challenged the teams from across the nation to cut wasteful energy use in buildings where they live and work.Family and commercial ladings together consume 40 percent of U.S.energy and the Obama Administration is eager to show how that load can be reduced.
In recent remarks at a university.President Barack Obama promoted a plan that could help commercial buildings achieve greater energy efficiency (效率).
"Making our buildings more energy-efficient is one of the fastest,easiest and cheapest ways to save money,fight against pollution and create jobs right here in the United States of America,"he said.He also inspected the research labs where scientists are working on new technologies designed to cut energy waste in commercial buildings.
Stores like the Sears department store in Maryland,which took second prize in the contest,are already using some of those technologies.As part of the store's bid to cut its energy use,every one of the building's 24 rooftop AC (交流电) units was checked and repaired.Every light bulb-all 15,000 of them-was replaced with a more efficient one.And sensors were installed (安装)to shut lights off in offices and storerooms when no one is around.Taken together these changes helped the Sears store reduce its building energy consumption by more than one-third and cut electric bills by $ 46,000.
Office buildings can also achieve impressive energy savings.The tenants of a 12-story building in Virginia managed to cut the building's energy consumption by 28 percent as part of the EPA competition.
"Whether it's an office building or a department store,a school or church,the EPA energy challenge showed that there's always room for improvement",says Jennifer Amann with the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy,
71.The purpose of the Competition is toA
A.help cut buildings'energy waste                        
B.fight against air pollution
C.create more job opportunities                           
D.experiment with a new idea

C.Efficient bulbs are now being used in all American buildings.
D.Family buildings consume more energy than commercial ones.
73.The Sears department storeA
A.used new technologies to cut its energy waste
B.won the first prize in the Competition
C.cut its energy consumption by 28 percent
D.had 24 rooftop sensors installed on the building
74.The 12-story building in Virginia mentioned in the text should be a(nC
A.department store                                        
B.commercial building

C.all buildings can be energy-efficient if changes are made
D.the government is responsible for energy waste.
2.Who"discovered"America?And who led the first successful attempt to sail around the world in history?
Well,our textbooks have the answers:they are Italian sailor Christopher Columbus and Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan.
However,China's great explorer,Zheng He (1371-1435),may well have beaten his European counterparts (同行) and sailed around the world first.The life and achievements of the legendary sailor are featured in a TV drama,which is being screened on CCTV 8.
Zheng was an officer of the Ming Dynasty's Yongle Emperor.In 1405,the emperor asked Zheng to visit the"Western Seas",which referred to the seas and lands west of the South China Sea.Zheng traveled with 62ships filled with silk and china and 27,800men.The biggest ship was 126meters long and could take the weight of 7000tons.In the following 28years,Zheng made another six successful journeys.He visited over 30countries.Since most of the records of Zheng'voyages have been lost,many historians believe Zheng's achievements have been underestimated. British writer Gavin Menzies,who spent 14years researching the movements of the Chinese fleet,explained it was Zheng who first sailed around the world,in his book,1421,The Year china Discovered America.
While doing research,Menzies said he was shown a map,dated 1459,which included southern Africa and the Cape of Good Hope.Yet the Cape was not"discovered"by Vasco da Gama until 1497.On the map was a note about a voyage round the Cape in 1420-and a picture of a Chinese ship.
"What nobody has explained is why the European explorers had maps.Who drew the maps?"he asks in his book."There are millions of square miles of ocean.It required huge fleets to chart them.If you say it wasn't the Chinese,then who was it?"

63.The underlined word"featured"in the 3rd paragraph can be replaced byB.
A.advertised                    B.shown
C.involved                      D.affected
64.Which of the following is the evidence to prove that America was discovered by the Chinese according to Gavin Menzies?C
A.Textbooks.                   B.History books.
C.An ancient map.              D.Zheng's logbooks.
65.With most of Zheng's logbooks lost,people today are not sure ofA.
A.the exact places Zheng He reached on his voyages
B.the scale of the fleet on Zheng He's voyages
C.the times of Zheng He's successful voyages
D.the purpose of Zheng He's voyages
66.Which of the following is a definite fact about the Cape of Good Hope?A
A.It was discovered by Vasco da Gama.
B.It was discovered by the Chinese.
C.It was discovered by Christopher Columbus.
D.It was discovered by Ferdinand Magellan.
9.In 1986,when Carlo Petrini first coined the term"Slow Food,"he organized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food.
Today,slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85,000 members,addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental stewardship-the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments,to contribute to healthy and livable communities.
Characterized by Slow Food International as"good,clean,and fair food,"slow food must enrich the eaters life,have no negative impact on human or environmental health,and compensate fairly for food producers'work.
The average American meal travels about 1500 miles to its final destination,with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country
However,cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the food industry that the environment faces.Industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices like inefficient water use and decreased biodiversity.Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional,but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature^ways of doing things.A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to oversimplify natures complexities,at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.
‘Slowing"food,by purchasing locally and sustainably,allows consumers to reduce the impact of"food miles"and develop a closer relationship with their food producers."We need to change our food system,"said David Prior,organizer of Slow Food Nation奂 Eat-In."Our current food system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has the right to nutritious food."
60.The main idea of the passage can be summarized asA
A.why slow food is so important
B.the food and wine culture is rich in Italy
C.what you re eating always travels a long way
D.slow food makes the current food system sick
61.According Io the second paragraph,environmental stewardship refers toD.
A.measures of environmental protections
B.ways to establish healthy and livable communities
C.peoples admiration for all the creatures on the earth
D.actions to protect the rights of all living things and environment
62.Slow foods characteristic doesn't lie inD.
A.improving the quality of eaters life
B.providing a fair pay for food workers
C.being friendly to human and environmental health
D.developing a loose relationship with food producers
63.What is David Priors attitude towards current food system?B
A.Suspicious   B.Unsatisfied C.Indifferent D.Supportive.
6.Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all,while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit,according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
"Shoppers need to check the labels(标签)before buying drinks,though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,"said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove."Food production is highly competitive(71)D.It will increase profits,and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked."
    Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits,meats and vegetables,or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors.Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores.(72)COf the 11 products that did contain strawberries,five of them contained less than one percent real fruit.In addition,each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.(73)BLet's take jam as an example.Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors,flavors,or sweeteners,but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.(74)GConsumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought.Under current UK law.Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring."Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of stawberries is misleading.(75)FUnfortunatcly,it is also legal and widespread,"Tokelove said.
   
A.The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.
B.Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.
C.They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all.
D.If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring,they are likely to do so.
E.It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.
F.Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.
G.The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
