A treasure trove hidden for centuries has been discovered in the underground vaults(墓穴)of a temple in southern India. The treasures include gold, diamonds and precious stones. The estimated value of the hoard is reportedly 22 billion US dollars.

Hundreds of armed police have been deployed around the temple. Meanwhile, a debate about how to use the money has also broken out across the country. After discovering the treasure trove in Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the southern Indian state of Kerala, the local government has assured security of the temple.

Elaborating on the security arrangements, Venugopalan Nair, Additional Director General of the Kerala Police, says the latest security devices are being used to guard the temple.

Venugopalan Nair, Additional Dir. Gen. of Kerala Police, said, "We are trying to bring in the latest technology with regards to surveillance(監(jiān)視) cameras, with regards to, you know digitalizing the various things which are available inside. We are keeping a constant sort of surveillance for every movement, which happens in the whole area surrounding the temple."

According to temple authorities, the crowd at the temple has increased steeply after news of the discovery of the treasure trove. And the Administrative Officer of the Temple says the government has initiated appropriate steps to control the curious crowds visiting the temple.

G. Jayasekharan Nair, administrative officer, said, "To control the crowds the government itself is taking a lot of measures. They are trying to do whatever is possible from the premises of the temple. Apart from all that, the government has taken a favorable step and we are satisfied with them."

Over the last week, a seven-member team of investigators broke into five secret subterranean vaults, and discovered jewels that have been lying untouched for hundreds of years.

As estimates of the treasures' worth rise, a fierce debate is growing regarding what to do with the discovery. Kerala's top elected leader said the wealth would remain with the temple, while others say it should be used to pay for poverty alleviation(扶貧). However, the government is adhering to the Supreme Court's ruling on ownership of the treasure found in the temple.

1.How will the government deal with the treasure mentioned in the passage?

A. It will be used to pay for poverty alleviation.

B. It will be returned to its owner.

It just may be the world’s most costly vacuum cleaner ( 吸塵器). The price of CleanSpace One is eleven million dollars. But yet, it has a big job to do. Recently, researchers in Switzerland said they planned to build this new cleaning machine.

CleanSpace One will not be for use in homes or businesses. It will be shot into space to help remove thousands of pieces of space junk floating around up there.

Last year, we reported on the problem of space junk. Over time, many unused spacecraft have hit each other far above the Earth. Big pieces break into thousands of small pieces. Sometimes they fall back into the atmosphere (大氣層) and burn up. But when they do not, it creates big problems.

Scientists fear that if something is not done to remove these objects, it may soon become too dangerous to send people and machines into space. There is a large chance that they might hit some of this junk. So that is why the Swiss researchers are developing the new machine.

CleanSpace One is not really a vacuum cleaner. It will not be used to take away space junk. But scientists plan to move it close to an old satellite that is no longer being used. Then a claw-like instrument will catch the satellite, and force it back through the atmosphere. There, the satellite will be destroyed by the heat of friction (摩擦) with the air.

Researchers say that all they need to do is slow down the speed of some of these unwanted objects. Once they begin to move more slowly, they will fall back to the Earth. There is little chance that they will fall through the atmosphere and harm the people or things below.

1.Space junk is created when .

A. unused spacecraft hit each other

B. people in space throw away rubbish

C. a new spaceship is sent up

D. an old spaceship creates friction with the air

2.What’s the danger of space junk?

A. It will pollute space.

B. It will hurt people on the Earth.

C. It will hit a spaceship.

D. It will burn in the atmosphere.

3.Unwanted objects will fall back to the Earth when .

A. they are made to move slowly

B. they meet other objects in space

C. they are not used for years

D. they are near the atmosphere

4.The passage is most probably a .

A. science research paper B. science fiction story

C. newspaper ad D. science news report

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆甘肅會寧第一中學高三上學期第四次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

From July to October every year, about a quarter of the world’s blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (貨物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales’ paths and the ships’ travel lines overlap (重疊)，and a ship will hit a whale.

According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the world’s blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.

In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whales in this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”

Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.

The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships’ crew (船員）more time to change course before hitting a whale.

Several of the world’s largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里 / 小時），the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.

1.From Paragraph 1, we can know that_____.

A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for money

B. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the sea

C. there is fewer fish in blue whales’ favorite feeding area

D. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequently

2.Why is the death of several whales regarded as significant loss to the world's blue whales?

A. Because other blue whales will be scared away.

B. Because the number of the blue whales is so small.

C. Because blue whales are the largest animals in the world.

D. Because many blue whales get killed throughout the year.

3.According to Sean Hastings，it’s inferred that .

A. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.

B. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.

C. most of the world’s blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.

D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.

4.What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?

A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.

B. The world’s largest shipping lines.

C. Measures to protect the blue whales.

D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.
