18、确选项。Tunguska Event1 A hundred years ago this week, a gigantic explosion ripped (撕裂) open the day y above a forest in western Siberia, leaving a scientific riddle that endures to this day.2 A dazzling light pierced the heavens,followed by a shock wave as strong as 1,000 atomic bombs. The explosion fl
19、attened 80 million trees across an area of 2,000 square kilometers. The fireball was so great that, a day later, Londoners could read their newspapers under the night sky. What caused the so-called Tunguska Event, named after the nearby Podkamennaya Tunguska river, still remains a mystery.3 Experts
20、suspect it was a rock that, after traveling in space for millions of years, was destined to crash to Earth at exactly 7:17 a.m. on June 30, 1908. This possibility worries scientists.“Imagine an unspotted asteroid (小行星) hitting a significant chunk(块) of land . and imagine if that area, unlike Tungusk
21、a, were populated, the British science journal Nature commented recently.4 But no fragments of the “rock have ever been found. Finding such evidence would be important, for it would increase our knowledge about the risk posed by dangerous Near Earth Objects (NEOs), say Italian researchers Luca Gaspe
22、rini, Enrico Bonatti and Giuseppe Longo. When the next Tunguska NEO approaches, scientists will have to decide whether to try to deflect (使偏转) it or blow it up in space.5 However, several rival theories for the Tunguska Event exist. Wolfgang Kundt, a professor at Germanys Bonn University,believes th
23、e Tunguska Event was caused by a massive escape of 10 million tons of methane(甲烷)-rich gas from deep within earths crust. Some people hold that the explosion was caused by an alien spaceship crash, or a black hole in the universe.23. Paragraph 2C24. Paragraph 3 F25. Paragraph 4 E26. Paragraph 5 AA.

26、短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最正确选项。第一篇 Dont Count on DungConservationists(自然保护主义者) maybe miscalculating the numbers of the threatened animals such as elephants, say African and American researchers. The error occurs because of a flaw in the way they estimate animal numbers from the piles of dung(粪) t
27、he creatures leave behind.The mistake could lead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants as there really are in some regions,according to Andrew Plumptre of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in New York.Biologist Katy Payne of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, agrees.
28、 “We really need to know elephant numbers and the evidence that we have is quite indirect, says Payne, who electronically tracks elephants.Counting elephants from planes is impossible in the vast rainforests of Central Africa. So researchers often estimate elephant numbers by counting dung piles in
29、a given area. They also need to know the rate at which dung decays: Because its extremely difficult to determine these rates, however, researchers counting elephants in one region tend to rely on standard decay rates established elsewhere.But researchers at the WCS have found that this decay rate va
30、ries from region to region depending on the climate and environment. Using the wrong values can lead the census astray(离开正道), says Plumptre.He and his colleague Anthony Chifu Nchanji studied decaying elephant dung in the forests of Cameroon. They found that the dung decayed between 55 and 65 per cen
31、t more slowly than the dung in the rainforests of neighbouring Gabon. If researchers use decay rates from Gabon to count elephants in Cameroon, they would probably find more elephants than are actually around. This could mean estimates in Cameroon are at least twice as high as those derived from dec
32、ay rates calculated locally, says Plumptre. “However accurate your dung density estimate might be, the decay rate can severely affect the result.Plumptre also says that the dung-pile census should be carried out over a region similar in size to an elephants natural range. The usual technique of moni
33、toring only small, protected areas distorts numbers because elephants move in and out of these regions, he says If the elephant population increases within the protected area, you can not determine whether it is a real increase or whether it is due to elephants moving in because they are being poach
34、ed(入侵偷猎) outside.Plumptre says that similar problems may also affect other animal census studies that rely on indirect evidence such as nests, tracks or burrows(地洞).41. The word threatened in the first sentence of the first paragraph could be best replaced byA.endangered.B. frightened.C. killed.D. a
35、ngered.42. Piles of dung cant be relied upon when it comes to estimating elephant numbers becauseA. they are different in size.B. they scatter all over the region.C.they are different in decay rate.D. they are different in quality.43. Why do researchers estimate elephant numbers in an area by counti
36、ng dung piles?A. Because elephants are difficult to catch.B.Because it is not possible to count elephants from a plane.C. Because it is not possible to keep track of elephants.D. Because elephants are shy animals.44. According to Plumptre, the region over which a dung-pile census is carried out shou

Anthony Chifu Nchanji.D. the writer of the article.第二篇 Black Holes Trigger Stars to Self-DestructScientists have long understood that super ma
38、ssive black holes weighing millions or billions of sunscan tear apart stars that come too close. The black holes gravity pulls harder on the nearest part of the star, an imbalance that pulls the star apart over a period of minutes or hours, once it gets close enough.Scientists say this uneven pullin
39、g is not the only hazard facing the star. The strain of these unbalanced forces can also trigger a nuclear explosion powerful enough to destroy the star from within.Matthieu Brassart and Jean-Pierre Luminet of the Observatoire de Paris in Meudon, France, carried out computer simulations of the final
40、 moments of such an unfortunate stars life,as it veered towards a super massive black hole.When the star gets close enough, the uneven forces flatten it into a pancake shape.Some previous studies had suggested this flattening would increase the density and temperature inside the star enough to trigg
41、er intense nuclear reactions that would tear it apart. But other studies had suggested that the picture would be complicated by shock waves generated during the flattening process and that no nuclear explosion should occur.The new simulations investigated the effects of shock waves in detail, and fo
42、und that even when their effects are included, the conditions favor a nuclear explosion. There will be an explosion of the star it will be completely destroyed, Brassart says. Although the explosion obliterates the star, it saves some of the stars matter from being devoured by the black hole.The exp
43、losion is powerful enough to hurl much of the stars matter out of the black holes reach, he says.The devouring of stars by black holes may already have been observed, although at a much later stage. It is thought that several months after the event that rips the star apart,its matter starts swirling
44、 into the hole itself. It heats up as it does so, releasing ultraviolet light and X-rays.If stars disrupted near black holes really do explode, then they could in principle allow these events to be detected at a much earlier stage, says Jules Halpern of Columbia University in New York, US.It may mak
45、e it possible to see the disruption of that star immediately if it gets hot enough, he says.Brassart agrees. Perhaps it can be observed in the X-rays and gamma rays, but its something that needs to be more studied, he says. Supernova researcher Chris Fryer of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Lo
46、s Alamos, New Mexico, US , says the deaths of these stars are difficult to simulate, and he is not sure whether the researchers have proven their Case that they explode in the process.36. Something destructive could happen to a star that gets too close to a black hole.Which of the following destruct
47、ive statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The black hole could tear apart the star.B. The black hole could trigger a nuclear explosion in the star.C.The black hole could dwindle its size considerably.D. The black hole could devour the star.37. According to the third paragraph,researchers differed from each other i
