     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 54yearold 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 20,000yuan 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?

building up inside.

     2)Write down your thoughts and emotions. You can write things in lots of ways,for example, in a
journal or as your own poetry or song lyrics(歌词). After you"  ve written it down,you can keep it or
throw it away-it doesn"  t matter. The important thing is,writing down your thoughts and feelings can
improve how you feel.When you notice, label, and release feelings as they show up in smaller portions,

阅读理解      Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize
money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew
there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part －drivers.
     DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push
to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just
proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One
had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied
up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.
     One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by
remote  control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for
six miles but stuck on a rock. The "winner," if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long,
narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.
     "You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things," says Reinhold Behringer, who helped
design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics. "Even ants  can do all these tasks
effortlessly . It"s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines."
     The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and
GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human
recognizes immediately, Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to
wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there"s a cookie in the kitchen she has to
climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even
months old, than any machine humans have designed.

1. Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because        .

A. the road was too rough for the drivers
B. they did not have any human guidance
C. the distance was too long for the vehicles
D. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers

2. DARPA organized the race in order to         .

A. raise money for producing more robotic vehicles
B. train more people to drive in the desert
C. build up body.
D. improve the vehicles for future wars

3. From the passage we know "robotic vehicles" are a kind of machines that         .

A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living thing can
B. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit
C. can move from place to place without being driven by human beings
D. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down

4. In the race, the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered was          .

A. about eight miles
B. six miles
C. almost seven miles
D. about nine mile

5. In the last paragraph, we can conclude that____

A.  a long way to go for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties
B.  a long way to go for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie .
C. a long way for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple one that a little child can solve
D. a long way for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face

阅读理解     Brazil has become one. of the developing world"s great successes at reducing population growth but
more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had better results without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.
     Brazil"s population growth rate dropped from 2. 99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1. 93% a
year between 198 land 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2. 7 children on average. Martine says
this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other
Third World countries.
     Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (肥皂剧) and installment (分期付款) plans
introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil
is one of the world"s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil"s most popular television network,
shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most
soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.
     Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction,
they describe middle and upper class values: not many children, women working, says Martine. They sent
this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behaviour and other
values, which were put into a very attractive package.
     Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. " This led to an
enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible (不相容的) with unlimited
reproduction," says Martine.

1. According to the passage, Brazil has lowered its population growth ________.

A. by educating its citizens
B. by careful family planning
C. by limiting birth rate
D. by chance

2. According to the passage, many Third World countries____

A. are unwilling to control the birth rate.
B. are willing to join Brazil in controlling their birth rate soon
C. haven"t yet found an effective measure to control their population
D. haven"t realized the importance of TV plays in family planning

3. Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil"s birth rate because ________.

A. they educate people.
B. they have gradually changed people"s way of life
C. people are drawn to their attractive package
D. they popularize birth control measures

4. What is Martine"s conclusion about Brazil"s population growth?

A. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.
B. The increase in birth rate will be controlled.
C. Consumption goes with reproduction.
D. A country "s production is limited by its population growth.

5. According to the passage, soap operas show that they have ____in the middle class.

A. one or two babies.
B. many babies
C. only a boy
D. only a girl

     Many people take    1   for granted that black is a colour of bad things while white should always
mean something good. This may be because in their opinion, black is related     2  darkness and white
to purity. However, that is   3   always the case. Did you know that the same one colour may mean
   4    (different) in different places of the world?
     In   5   English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning. People wear black clothes at the
funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血). Yellow is the word for fear. If you are
afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings   6    true outside the English-speaking world. In
China and Korea white is the colour of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands
for   7   (beautiful), life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.
     Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult    8   (find) colour contradictions (矛盾). A
redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain,   9   , a redcap is a military
policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps. Similarly, the British term for an
American white collar worker   10   (call) a black-coated worker sometimes.
