Thirteen government 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 54?year?old 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 20,000?yuan 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 Zhou’s photograph were just 0.8 cm in diameter. And calculations showed the “tiger” would have been only 27cm long.

1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A．A lot of people are involved in presenting evidence to prove the tiger has been extinct.

B．The local government had accepted the photos and claimed they were real.

C．The South China tiger is the progenitor of all the tiger species.

D．The spot where Zhou took the photos is a suitable habitat for a tiger.

2．The underlined word “fudge” means________.

A．捏造,偽造 B．拍照

C．制造　　　 D．計(jì)劃

3．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A．Shots of tiger in the world is not real

B．Zhou and his “tiger”

C．The South China tiger is extinct

D．How did Zhou fudge some photos

4．How many people are involved in the case according to the passage?

A．13　　 B．14　　 C．15　　 D．16

1--4 BAAB

1.    細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文中第一句“Thirteen government officials...”可知A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；由第二段最后一句“The government had earlier...”可知B項(xiàng)正確。C項(xiàng)和原文相比較缺少了關(guān)鍵詞“l(fā)iving”，而D項(xiàng)漏掉了“not”，因此C、D兩項(xiàng)皆錯(cuò)。

2.    考查文章的隱含信息。由華南虎的照片竟然是假的這一中心內(nèi)容來推測(cè)句中的“fudge”詞義，可知A項(xiàng)為最佳選項(xiàng)。

3.    考查文章的整體信息。文章主要論述了華南虎照片為假這一事實(shí)，故A項(xiàng)正確。“in the world”意為“竟然”，B、C、D三項(xiàng)所陳述的內(nèi)容比原文小，故不選。

由文中第一段“Thirteen government officials have been punished and a man arrested...”可知B項(xiàng)正確。

Over the years, Americans have become used to salt．Most people have no idea how much salt they consume-on average, about 9 to 12 gram per person per day, according to the American Heart Association．That's twice the amount recommended by the government．
A new study last week showed eating even a little less salt could greatly help the heart．The scientists said the results would be thirteen percent fewer heart attacks, eight percent fewer strokes（中風(fēng)）, four percent fewer deaths and eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease．
Researchers also found that the benefits would be greatest for African Americans and women．As a group, African Americans tend to have higher blood pressure than the general population, and "many studies suggest that they may be more sensitive to salt," says Dr.Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, an epidemiologist（流行病學(xué)家）at the University of California, San Francisco．Her analysis found that a reduction of 3 gram of salt per day would reduce heart attacks 8% on average; among African Americans, that rate would drop 10%．A similar result was found in women, whose stroke risk dropped 8% with a 3-g reduction in salt intake; in men, the risk fell 5%．
They and public health professionals in the United States are interested in a national campaign to persuade people to eat less salt．

Michael Alderman, a high blood pressure expert and professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, says that eating less salt results in lower blood pressure．But he says studies have not clearly shown that lowering salt means fewer heart attacks or strokes．
