17、 to Oxford B Running like the wind,roaring(咆哮) like the 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 30 wild tigers left in South China. This was the conclusion of a team of scientists from Chinas State Fores
18、try Administration and the World Nature Fund. The South China tiger,also known as the Chinese tiger,is native to southern China.In the 1950s,there were over 4,000 tigers found in mountain forests in the country.But due to the destruction of their natural habitat(栖息地) and uncontrolled hunting,it has
19、been pushed on to the list of the worlds 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
20、 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
21、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
22、director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Centre.“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.” 24.Why has the South China tiger become one of the worlds top ten most endangered species? A.Because it
23、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. 25.How is the programme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on? A.Its effect still remains to be
24、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. 26.What is the purpose of sending young tigers to South Africa? A.To help the tigers rec
25、over 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.

26、ll. A new study released by Orb Media evaluates that on average,a liter of bottled water from big brands like Dasani,Aquafina,and Nestle,contains roughly 10.4 tiny plastic bits.The world drinks them in swiftly,consuming roughly a million plastic bottles a minute,as The Guardian evaluates.Aquafina an
27、d Dasani both said that their bottled water is tested on strict standards.Nestle said the company hasnt found microplastics in its water bottles beyond a “trace(微量)level”.Evian did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In our modern,plastic-filling world,these little plastic bitsmany thi
28、nner than a human hairseem to be very common everywhere.We dont know exactly what these plastic parts are doing to our bodies,but were drinking them in anyway.Thats an alarming possibility,because in the ocean,these little plastics are doing harmful things to fish.In some species,theyre even slowing
29、 down growth and reproduction. While there isnt clear evidence yet that the plastics in single-use water bottles can increase cancer risk,we know that bottles containing a chemical called Bisphenol A(BPA) do.The hard BPA plastics in certain reusable water bottles can lead to higher risks of breast c
30、ancer,and other diseases.And a few studies suggest the softer kinds of single-use water bottles can have similar chemicals inside. The tiny plastic bits arent just in our bottles.They come out of our taps,too.The tiny plastics are also swimming in the seas and disturbing the way fish eat.In some cou
31、ntries,microplastics are even slipping into the salt markets.Even Dasani wrote in its statement:“Its clear the world has a problem with plastic waste.” 27.What can we infer about Evian?

35、he technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades. In 2015 NASAs Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable”(宜居的)zone.This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldnt be too hot or too cold for liquid water.So far,only a
36、 small part of our galaxy,the Milky Way,has been explored. 32 Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars,it is very difficult to see them directly. 33 For example,as a planet circles a star,it pulls on it and causes it to shake.As the star moves unsteadily,it changes the wavelength o
37、f the light we see.Measuring these slight changes is another method of discovering planets. 34 When an exoplanet moves between its star and us,it causes a small drop in the stars brightness.By measuring this drop,NASAS Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets. 35 As time progresses and
38、technology improves,who knows what else we may find! A.It is one of the most productive methods. B.Therefore,scientists use indirect methods. C.These are just two examples of the methods scientists use. D.Even so,scientists have confirmed more than 3,500 exoplanets. E.Astronomers have received signa
