解答 31--35 CDCDD
31．C 细节理解题．根据第一段Justin and Mary were determined to see the ghostly creature（怪物）before their vacation was over可知，他们起床早是为了看雾妖．故选C．
32．D 推理判断题．根据最后一段最后一句I knew that story would get you two out of bed early enough to take a boat ride with me可知，我知道这个故事足够吸引你们俩早早起床和我乘船．故选D．
33．C 细节理解题．根据最后一段Justin and Mary hugged each other in fear，but then they heard a laugh．Justin leaned toward the Foggy Figure．"Uncle Thomas？"可知，Uncle Thomas早在Justin and Mary之前就已经在船里了．故选C．
34．D 推理判断题．根据最后一段I knew that story would get you two out of bed early enough to take a boat ride with me可知，Uncle Thomas为了让Justin and Mary早起和他乘船，故意讲雾妖的故事让他们自己想去看看，说明Uncle Thomas够聪明的．故选D．
35．D 推理判断题．既然Uncle Thomas为了让Justin and Mary早起和他乘船，故意讲雾妖的故事让他们自己想去看看，下文便要讲Uncle Thomas与Justin and Mary一起乘船的事情．故选D．

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一．这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类．这两类阅读材料一般较长，即词数多，而且命题也较多，特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多．在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂，题目不好做的感觉．因此，在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上，注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系，细节与主题的关系，用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等，这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点．至于事实细节题的解答，同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象，一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．

1．The elephant was lying heavily on its side，fast asleep．A few dogs started barking at it．The elephant woke up in a terrible anger：it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety．That didn't stop the elephant．It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people．The villagers were scared and angry．Then someone suggested calling Parbati，the elephant princess．
Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer（驯兽者）．He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk．He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up--how to catch wild elephants．
Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle．After a happy childhood hunting with her father，she was sent to boarding school in the city．But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life．"Life in the city is too dull．Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase，"she says．
But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun．"My work，"she says，"is to rescue man from the elephants，and to keep the elephants safe from man．"And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years．Increasingly，the Indian elephant is angry：for many years，illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land．It is now fighting back．Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village，Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill．
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion．A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant．"Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them．They are also more loyal than humans，"she said，as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant，happy animal．An elephant princess indeed!
51．For Parbati，catching elephants is mainly toD．
A．get long lasting excitement             B．make the angry elephants tame
C．send them back to the jungle            D．keep both man and elephants safe
52．Before Parbati studied in a boarding school，A．
A．she spent her time hunting with her father
B．she learned how to sing love songs
C．she had already been called an elephant princess
D．she was taught how to hunt tigers
53．Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge（报复）becauseC．
A．they are caught and sent for heavy work
B．illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C．they are attacked and their land gets limited
D．dogs often bark at them and chase them
54．The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in IndiaD．
A．people easily fall victim（受害者）to elephants attacks
B．dogs are as powerful as elephants
C．elephant tamers are in short supply
D．the man-elephant relationship is getting worse．
2．With only about 1，000pandas left in the world，China is desperately trying to clone （克隆） the animal and save the endangered species（物种）．That's a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called"Noah's Ark"．
Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs，embryos（胚胎），semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen（氮）．If certain species should become extinct，Dr．Duane Kraemar，a professor in Texas A&M University Medicine，says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future．
It is estimated that as many as 2，000species of mammals，birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100years．The panda，native only to China，is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25years．
This week，Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit．They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal．
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete．
"The nuclear transfer（核子移植） of one species to another is not easy，and the lack of available（capable of being used） panda eggs could be a major problem，"Kraemer believes．"They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy （having a baby）．It takes a long time and it's difficult，but this could be groundbreaking science if it works．They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk，so it is worth the effort，"adds Kraemer，who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M，the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog．
"They are trying to do something that's never been done，and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark．We're both trying to save animals that face extinction．I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do．It's a research that is very much needed．"
28．The aim of"Noah's Ark"project is toB．
A．make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B．save endangered animals from dying out
C．collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D．transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
29．The underlined word groundbreaking can be interpreted asB．
A．especially new    
B．pioneering     
C．damaging     
D．trouble-making
30．The best title for the passage may beC．
A．China's Success in Panda Cloning
B．The First Cloned Panda in the World
C．Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D．China---the Native Place of Pandas Forever
31．From the passage we know thatD．
A．Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B．scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbit
C．Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D．about two thousand species will probably die out in a century．
