2018年雅思阅读模拟题及答案解析
2018年雅思阅读模拟题及答案解析(20) Don’t wash those fossils!
Standard museum practice can wash away DNA.
1. Washing，brushing and varnishing fossils —all standard conservation treatments used by many fossil hunters and museum curators alike —vastly reduces the chances of recovering ancient DNA.
2. Instead，excavators should be handling at least some of their bounty with gloves，and freezing samples as they are found，dirt and all，concludes a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today.
3. Although many palaeontologists know anecdotally that this is the best way to up the odds of extracting good DNA，Eva-Maria Geigl of the Jacques Monod Institute in Paris，France，and her colleagues have now shown just how important conservation practices can be. This information，they say，needs to be hammered home among the people who are actually out in the field digging up bones.
4. Geigl and her colleagues looked at 3，200-year-old fossil bones belonging to
a single individual of an extinct cattle species，called an aurochs. The fossils were dug up at a site in France at two different times —either in 1947，and stored in a museum collection，or in 2004，and conserved in sterile conditions at -20 oC.
5. The team’s attempts to extract DNA from the 1947 bones all failed. The newly excavated fossils，however，all yielded DNA.
6. Because the bones had been buried for the same amount of time，and in the same conditions，the conservation method had to be to blame says Geigl. “As much DNA was degraded in these 57 years as in the 3，200 years before，”she says.
Wash in，wash out
7. Because many palaeontologists base their work on the shape of fossils alone，their methods of conservation are not designed to preserve DNA，Geigl explains.
8. The biggest problem is how they are cleaned. Fossils are often washed together on-site in a large bath，which can allow water —and contaminants in the form of contemporary DNA —to permeate into the porous bones. “Not only is the authentic DNA getting washed out，but contamination is getting washed in，”says Geigl.
9. Most ancient DNA specialists know this already，says Hendrik Poinar，an evolutionary geneticist at McMaster University in Ontario，Canada. But that doesn’t mean that best practice has become widespread among those who actually find the fossils.
10. Getting hold of fossils that have been preserved with their DNA in mind relies on close relationships between lab-based geneticists and the excavators，says palaeogeneticist Svante P bo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig，Germany. And that only occurs in exceptional cases，he says.
11. P bo’s team，which has been sequencing Neanderthal DNA，continually faces these problems. “When you want to study ancient human and Neanderthal remains，there’s a big issue of contamination with contemporary human DNA，”he says.
12. This doesn’t mean that all museum specimens are fatally flawed，notes P bo. The Neanderthal fossils that were recently sequenced in his own lab，for example，had been part of a museum collection treated in the traditional way. But P bo is keen to see samples of fossils from every major find preserved in line with Geigl’s recommendations —just in case.
Warm and wet
13. Geigl herself believes that，with cooperation between bench and field researchers，preserving fossils properly could open up avenues of discovery that have long been assumed closed.
14. Much human cultural development took place in temperate regions. DNA does not survive well in warm environments in the first place，and can vanish when fossils are washed and treated. For this reason，Geigl says，most ancient DNA studies have been done on permafrost samples，such as the woolly mammoth，or on remains sheltered from the elements in cold caves —including cave bear and Neanderthal fossils.
15. Better conservation methods，and a focus on fresh fossils，could boost DNA extraction from more delicate specimens，says Geigl. And that could shed more light on the story of human evolution.。

New Ways of Teaching History In a technology and media-driven world, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get our students’ attentions and keep them absorbed in classroom discussions. This generation, in particular, has brought a unique set of challenges to the educational table. Whereas youth are easily enraptured by high-definition television, computers, iPods, video games and cell phones, they are less than enthralled by what to them are obsolete textbooks and boring classroom lectures. The question of how to teach history in a digital age is often contentious. On the one side, the old guard thinks the professional standards history is in mortal danger from flash-in-the-pan challenges by the distal that are all show and no substance. On the other Side, the self-styled “disruptors” offer over-blown rhetoric about how digital technology has changed everything while the moribund profession obstructs all progress in the name of outdated ideals. At least, that's a parody (maybe not much of one) of how the debate proceeds. Both supporters and opponents of the digital share more disciplinary common ground than either admits. When provided with merely a textbook as a supplemental learning tool, test results have revealed that most students fail to pinpoint the significance of historical events and individuals. Fewer still are able to cite and substantiate primary historical sources. What does this say about the way our educators are presenting information? The quotation comes from a report of a 1917 test of 668 Texas students. Less than 10 percent of school-age children attended high school in 1917; today, enrollments are nearly universal. The whole world has turned on its head during the last century but one thing has stayed the same: Young people remain woefully ignorant about history reflected from their history tests. Guess what? Historians are ignorant too, especially when we equate historical knowledge with the "Jeopardy" Daily Double. In a test, those specializing in American history did just fine. But those with specialties in medieval, European and African history failed miserably when confronted by items about Fort Ticonderoga, the Olive Branch Petition, or the Quebec Act — all taken from a typical textbook. According to the testers, the results from the recent National Assessment in History, like scores from earlier tests, show that young people are "abysmally ignorant" of their own history. Invoking the tragedy of last September, historian Diane Ravitch hitched her worries about our future to the idea that our nation's strength is endangered by youth who do poorly on such tests. But if she were correct, we could have gone down the tubes in 1917! There is a huge difference between saying "Kids don’t know the history we want then to know" and saying "Kids don't know history at all." Historical knowledge burrows itself into our cultural pores even if young people can't marshal it when faced by a multiple choice test. If we weren’t such hypocrites (or maybe if we were better historians) we'd have to admit that today's students follow in our own footsteps. For too long we've fantasized that by rewriting textbooks we could change how history is learned. The problem, however, is not the content of textbooks but the very idea of them. No human mind could retain the information crammed into these books in 1917, and it can do no better now. If we have learned anything from history that can be applied to every time period, it is that the only constant is change. The teaching of history, or any subject for that matter, is no exception. The question is no longer whether to bring new technologies into everyday education; now, the question is which There is a huge difference between saying "Kids don’t know the history we want then to know" and saying "Kids don't know history at all." Historical knowledge burrows itself into our cultural pores even if young people can't marshal it when faced by a multiple choice test. If we weren’t such hypocrites (or maybe if we were better historians) we'd have to admit that today's students follow in our own footsteps.

If we have learned anything from history that can be applied to every time period, it is that the only constant is change. The teaching of history, or any subject for that matter, is no exception. The question is no longer whether to bring new technologies into everyday education; now, the question is which technologies are most suitable for the range of topics covered in junior high and high school history classrooms. Fortunately, technology has provided us with opportunities to present our Civil War lesson plans or our American Revolution lesson plans in a variety of new ways. Teachers can easily target and engage the learners of this generation by effectively combining the study of history with innovative multimedia- PowerPoint and presentations in particular can expand the scope of traditional classroom discussion by helping teachers to explain abstract concepts while accommodating students* unique learning styles. PowerPoint study units that have been pre-made for history classrooms include all manner of photos, prints, maps, audio clips, video clips and primary sources which help to make learning interactive and stimulating. Presenting lessons in these enticing formats helps technology-driven students retain the historical information they'll need to know for standard exams. Whether you are covering Revolutionary War lesson plans or World War II lesson plans, PowerPoint study units are available in formats to suit the needs of your classroom. Multimedia teaching instruments like PowerPoint software are getting positive results the world over, framing conventional lectures with captivating written, auditory and visual content that helps students recall names, dates and causal relationships within a historical context. History continues to show us that new times bring new realities. Education is no exception to the rule. The question isnot whether to bring technology into the educational environment. Rather, the question is which technologies are suitable for U.S. and world history subjects, from Civil War lesson plans to World War II lesson plans. Whether you’re covering your American Revolution lesson plans or your Cold War lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations are available in pre-packaged formats to suit your classroom's needs. Meanwhile, some academic historians hold a different view on the use of technology in teaching history. One reason they hold is that not all facts can be recorded by film or videos and literature is relatively feasible in this case .Another challenge they have to be faced with is the painful process to learn new technology like the making of PowerPoint and the editing of audio and video clips which is also reasonable especially to some elderly historians. Questions Reading this passage has eight paragraphs, A- G Choosing the correct heading for paragraphs A- G from the list of heading below Write the appropriate number, i- x, in boxes 28-34 on your answer sheet List of Headings i unavoidable changing facts to be considered when picking up technology means ii A debatable place where the new technologies stand in for history teaching iii Hard to attract students in traditional ways of teaching history iv Display of the use of emerging multimedia as leaching tools v Both students and professionals as candidates did not produce decent results vi A good concrete example illustrated to show how multimedia animates the history class vii The comparisons of the new technologies applied in history class viii Enormous breakthroughs in new technologies ix Resistance of using new technologies from certain historian x Decisions needed on which technique to be used for history teaching instead of improvement in the textbooks 28 Paragraph A 29 Paragraph B 30 Paragraph C 31 Paragraph D 32 Paragraph E 33 Paragraph F 34 Paragraph G Question 35-37 Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage?

2018年剑桥雅思阅读真题解析：ThomasYoung
2018年剑桥雅思阅读真题解析：ThomasYoung对于雅思考生来说，剑桥雅思阅读题难不难？下面就和店铺一起来看看2018年剑桥雅思阅读真题解析：Thomas Young。
Thomas YoungThe Last True Know-It-AllA Thomas Young （1773-1829） contributed 63 articles to the Encyclopedia Britannica， including 46 biographical entries （mostly on scientists and classicists） and substantial essays on ＂Bridge，” ＂Chromatics，＂＂Egypt，＂＂Languages＂ and ＂Tides＂. Was someone who could write authoritatively about so many subjects a polymath，a genius or a dilettante？In an ambitious new biography， Andrew Robinson argues that Young is a good contender for the epitaph ＂the last man who knew everything.＂ Young has competition， however： The phrase，which Robinson takes for his title， also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies： Leonard Warren＇s 1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy （1823-1891） and Paula Findlen＇s 2004 book on Athanasius Kircher （1602-1680），another polymath.B Young，of course，did more than write encyclopedia entries. He presented his first paper to the Royal Society of London at the age of 20 and was elected a Fellow a week after his 21st birthday. In the paper， Young explained the process of accommodation in the human eye on how the eye focuses properly on objects at varying distances. Young hypothesized that this was achieved by changes in the shape of the lens. Young also theorized that light traveled in waves and he believed that，to account for the ability to see in color， there must be three receptors in the eye corresponding to the three ＂principal colors＂to which the retina could respond：red，green，violet. All these hypothesis were subsequently proved to be correct.C Later in his life， when he was in his forties， Young was instrumental in cracking the code that unlocked the unknown script on the Rosetta Stone， a tablet that was ＂found＂ in Egypt by the Napoleonic army in 1799. The stone contains text in three alphabets：Greek，something unrecognizable and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The unrecognizable script is now known as demotic and， as Young deduced， is related directly to hieroglyphic. His initial work on this appeared in his Britannica entry on Egypt. In another entry， he coined the term Indo-European to describe the family of languages spoken throughout most of Europe and northern India. These are the landmark achievements of a man who was a child prodigy and who，unlike many remarkable children， did not disappear into oblivion as an adult.D Born in 1773 in Somerset in England， Young lived from an early age with his maternal grandfather， eventually leaving to attend boarding school. He haddevoured books from the age of two，and through his own initiative he excelled at Latin，Greek，mathematics and natural philosophy. After leaving school，he was greatly encouraged by his mother＇s uncle，Richard Brocklesby， a physician and Fellow of the Royal Society. Following Brocklesby＇s lead， Young decided to pursue a career in medicine. He studied in London， following the medical circuit，and then moved on to more formal education in Edinburgh，Gottingen and Cambridge. After completing his medical training at the University of Cambridge in 1808， Young set up practice as a physician in London. He soon became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and a few years later was appointed physician at St. George＇s Hospital.E Young＇s skill as a physician， however， did not equal his skill as a scholar of natural philosophy or linguistics. Earlier， in 1801，he had been appointed to a professorship of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution， where he delivered as many as 60 lectures in a year. These were published in two volumes in 1807. In 1804 Young had become secretary to the Royal Society，a post he would hold until his death. His opinions were sought on civic and national matters， such as the introduction of gas lighting to London and methods of ship construction. From 1819 he was superintendent of the Nautical Almanac and secretary to the Board of Longitude. From 1824 to 1829 he was physician to and inspector of calculations for the Palladian Insurance Company. Between 1816 and 1825 he contributed his many and various entries to the Encyclopedia Britannica， and throughout his career he authored numerous books， essays and papers.F Young is a perfect subject for a biography - perfect， but daunting. Few men contributed so much to so many technical fields. Robinson＇s aim is to introduce non-scientists to Young＇s work and life. He succeeds， providing clear expositions of the technical material （especially that on optics and Egyptian hieroglyphs）. Some readers of this book will， like Robinson，find Young＇s accomplishments impressive； others will see him as some historians have - as a dilettante. Yet despite the rich material presented in this book，readers will not end up knowing Young personally. We catch glimpses of a playful Young，doodling Greek and Latin phrases in his notes on medical lectures and translating the verses that a young lady had written on the walls of a summerhouse into Greek elegiacs. Young was introduced into elite society， attended the theatre and learned to dance and play the flute. In addition， he was an accomplishedhorseman. However，his personal life looks pale next to his vibrant career and studies.G Young married Eliza Maxwell in 1804， and according to Robinson，＂their marriage was a happy one and she appreciated his work.＂ Almost all we know about her is that she sustained her husband through some rancorous disputes about optics and that she worried about money when his medical career was slow to take off. Very little evidence survives about the complexities of Young＇s relationships with his mother and father. Robinson does not credit them， or anyone else， with shaping Young＇s extraordinary mind. Despite the lack of details concerning Young＇s relationships，however，anyone interested in what it means to be a genius should read this book.Questions 1-7Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1？In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet， writeTRUE if the statement is trueFALSE if the statement is falseNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage1 “The last man who knew everything” has also been claimed to other people.2 All Young’s articles were published in Encyclopedia Britannica.3 Like others， Young wasn＇t so brilliant when grew up.4 Young＇s talents as a doctor are surpassing his other skills.5 Young＇s advice was sought by people responsible for local and national issues.6 Young was interested in various social pastimes.7 Young suffered from a disease in his later years.Questions 8-13Answer the questions below.Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER from the passage for each answer.8 How many life stories did Young write for Encyclopedia Britannica？9 What aspect of scientific research did Young do in his first academic paper？10 What name did Young introduce to refer to a group of languages？11 Who inspired Young to start the medical studies？12 Where did Young get a teaching position？13 What contribution did Young make to London？文章题目：Thomas Young—The Last True Know-it All托马斯·杨——最后一个无所不知的人篇章结构体裁人物传记题目托马斯·杨——最后一个无所不知的人结构A段：托马斯·杨对百科全书的主要成就B段：托马斯年轻时的主要成就C段：托马斯晚年的主要成就D段：托马斯童年的生活背景及成长经历E段：托马斯作为自然哲学学者取得的成就F段：托马斯在其他领域的成就G段：托马斯的感情生活试题分析Question 1-7题目类型：True / false /not given题号定位词文中对应点题目解析1Other peopleA段第四句“Young has competition，however： The phrase， which Robinson takes for his title， also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies： Leonard Warren＇s 1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy （1823-1891）and Paula Findlen＇s 2004 book on Athanasius Kircher （1602-1680），another polymath.”该句中明确给出了Young还有其他的竞争者，他们的传记中也同样拥有这样的小标题，分别是Leonard Warren写的关于Joseph Leidy的传记，以及 Paula Findlen＇s写的关于Athanasius Kircher的传记。

Food agency takes on industry over junk labelsFelicity LawrenceThursday December 28，2006The Guardian1.Consumers are to be presented with two rival new year advertising campaigns as the Food Standards Agency goes public in its battle with the industry over the labelling of unhealthy foods.2.The Guardian has learned that the FSA will launch a series of 10-second television adverts in January telling shoppers how to follow a red，amber and green traffic light labelling system on the front of food packs，which is designed to tackle Britain's obesity epidemic.3.The campaign is a direct response to a concerted attempt by leading food manufacturers and retailers，including Kellogg's and Tesco，to derail the system.The industry fears that traffic lights would demonise entire categories of foods and could seriously damage the market for those that are fatty，salty or high in sugar.4.The UK market for breakfast cereals is worth £1.27bn a year and the manufacturers fear it will be severely dented if red light labels are put on packaging drawing attention to the fact that the majority are high in salt and/or sugar.5.The industry is planning a major marketing campaign for a competing labelling system which avoids colour-coding in favour of information about the percentage of "guideline daily amounts" (GDAs) of fat，salt and sugar contained in their products.6.The battle for the nation's diet comes as new rules on television advertising come into force in January which will bar adverts for unhealthy foods from commercial breaks during programmes aimed at children.Sources at the TV regulators are braced for a legal challenge from the industry and have described the lobbying efforts to block any new ad ban or colour-coded labelling as "the most ferocious we've ever experienced".7.Ofcom's chief executive，Ed Richards，said: "We are prepared to face up to any legal action from the industry，but we very much hope it will not be necessary." The FSA said it was expecting an onslaught from the industry in January.Senior FSA officials said the manufacturers' efforts to undermine its proposals on labelling could threaten the agency's credibility.8.Terrence Collis，FSA director of communications，dismissed claims that the proposals were not based on science."We have some of the most respected scientists in Europe，both within the FSA and in our independent advisorycommittees.It is unjustified and nonsensical to attack the FSA's scientific reputation and to try to undermine its credibility."9.The FSA is understood to have briefed its ad agency，United，before Christmas，and will aim to air ads that are "non-confrontational，humorous and factual" as a counterweight to industry's efforts about the same time.The agency，however，will have a tiny fraction of the budget available to the industry.10.Gavin Neath，chairman of Unilever UK and president of the Food and Drink Federation，has said that the industry has made enormous progress but could not accept red "stop" signs on its food.11.Alastair Sykes，chief executive of NestléUK，said that under the FSA proposals all his company's confectionery and most of its cereals would score a red."Are we saying people shouldn't eat confectionery? We're driven by consumers and what they want，and much of what we do has been to make our products healthier," he said.12.Chris Wermann，director of communications at Kellogg's，said: "In principle we could never accept traffic light labelling."13.The rival labelling scheme introduced by Kellogg's，Danone，Unilever，Nestl é，Kraft and Tesco and now favoured by 21 manufacturers，uses an industry-devised system based on identifying GDAs of key nutrients.Tesco says it has tested both traffic lights and GDA labels in its stores and that the latter increased sales of healthier foods.14.But the FSA said it could not live with this GDA system alone because it was "not scientific" or easy for shoppers to understand at a glance.Questions 1-6Answer the questions below using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each answer.1.When will instructions be given on reading the color-coded labels?2.Where can customers find the red light labels?3.What problem is the FSA trying to handle with the labeling system?4.Which product sells well but may not be healthy?5.What information，according to the manufacturers，can be labeled on products?6.What can not be advertised during children's programmes?Questions 7-13Use the information in the text to match the people (listed A-E) with the opinions (listed 7-13) below. Write the appropriate letter (A-E) for questions 1-7.NB You may use any letter more than once.A Ed RichardB Terrence CollisC Gavin NeathD Alastair SykesE Chris Wermann7.Generally we will not agree to use the red light labels.8.It is unreasonable to doubt if FSA is trustworthy.9.We are trying to meet our consumers’needs.10.The food industry has been improving greatly.11.The color-coded labeling system is scientific.12.Our products will be labeled unhealthy by the FSA.13.We are ready to confront the manufacturers.。

（答案仅供参考）参考文章：Tasmanian Tiger塔斯马尼亚虎Although it was called tiger， it looked like a dog with black stripes on its back and it was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modem times. Yet， despite its fame for being one of the most fabled animals in the world， it is one of the least understood of Tasmania＇s native animals. The scientific name for the Tasmanian tiger is Thylacine and it is believed that they have become extinct in the 20th century.Fossils of thylacines dating from about almost 12 million years ago have been dug up at various places in Victoria， South Austnilia and Western Australia. They were widespread in Australia 7000 years ago， but have probably been extinct on the continent for 2000 years. This is believed to he because of the introduction of dingoes around 8000 years ago. Because of disease，thylacine numbers may have been declining in Tasmania at the time of European settlement 200 years ago， but the decline was certainly accelerated by the new arrivals. The last known Tasmanian Tiger died in Hobart Zoo in 1936 and the animal is officially dassilied jis extinct. Technically， this meansthat it has not been officially sighted in the wild or captivity for 50 years. However， there are still unsubstantiated sightings.Hans Naarding，whose study of animal had taken him around the world，was conducting a survey of a species of endangered migratory，bird. What he saw that night is now regarded as the most credible sighting recorded of thylacine that many believe has been extinct for more than 70 years.＂I had to work at night＂，Naarding Uikes up the story. ＂I was in the habit of inlermittently shining a spotliglit around. The beam fell on an animal in front of the vehicle， less than 10m away. Instead of risking movement by grabbing for a camera， I decided to register very carefully what I was seeing. The animal was about the size of a small shepherd dog， a very healthy male in prime condition. What set it apart from a dog， though， was a slightly sloping hindquarten with a fairly thick tail being a straight continuation of the backline of the animal. It had 12 distinct stripes on its hack，continuing onto its butt. I knew perfectly well what I was seeing. As soon as I reached for the camera，it disappeared into the tea-tree underprowth and scrub.＂The director of Tasmania＇s National parks at the time，Peter Morrow，decided in his wisdom to keep Naarding＇s sighting of the thylacine secret for two years. When the news finally broke，it was accompanied by pandemonium. I was besieged by television crews， including four to five from Japan，and otliers from the United Kingdom， Germany， New Zealand and South Ainerica，w said Naarding.Government and private search parties combed the region，but no further sightings were made. The tiger， as always， had escaped to its lair， a place many insist exists only in ourimagination. But since then， the thylacine has staged something of a comeback， becoming part of Australian mythology.There have been more than 4，000 claimed sightings of the beast since it supposedly died out， and the average claims each year reported to authorities now number 150. Associate professor of zoology at the University of Tasmania， Randolph Rose， has said he dreams of seeing a thylacine. But Rose， who in his 35 years in Tasmanian academia has fielded countless reports of thylacine sightings， is now convinced that his dream will go unfulfilled.＂The consensus among conservationists is that， usually，any animal with a population base of less than 1，000 is headed for extinction within 60 years，” says Rose. “Sixty years ago，there was only one thylacine that we know of， and that was in Hobart Zoo，he says.Dr. David Pemberton， curator of zoology at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery， whose PhD thesis was on the thylacine，says that despite scientific thinking that 500 animals are required to sustain a population， the Florida panther is down to a dozen or so animals and，while it does have some inbreeding problems， is still ticking along. Mril take a punt and say that，if we manage to find a thylacine in the scrub， it means that there are 50-plus animals out there.After all，animals can be notoriously elusive. The strange fish known as the coelacanth，with its ＂proto-legs＂，was thought to have died out along with the dinosaurs 700 million years ago until a specimen was dragged to the surface in a shark net off the south-east coast of South Africa in 1938.Wildlife biologist Nick Mooney has the unenviable task of investigating all wsightingsw of llie tiger totalling 4，000 sincethe mid-1930s， and averaging about 150 a year. It was Mooney who was first consulted late last month about the authenticity of digital photographic images purportedly taken by a German tourist while on a recent bushwalk in the state. On face value，Mooney says，the account of the sighting，and the two photographs submitted as proof， amount to one of the most convincing cases for the species＇ survival he has seen.And Mooney has seen it all—the mistakes， the hoaxes， the illusions and the plausible accounts of sightings. Hoaxers aside，most people who report sightings end up believing they have seen a thylaeine，and are themselves believable to the point they could pass a lie-detector test， according to Mooney. Otliers，having tabled a creditable report，then become utterly obsessed like the Tasmanian who has registered 99 thylacine sightings to date. Mooney has seen individuals bankrupted by the obsession， and families destroyed. ＂It is a blind optimism tliat something is，rather than a cynicism that something isn’t，” Mooney says. “If something cr osses the road，it’s not a case of ‘I wonder what tliat was？* Rather， it is a case of ＇that＇s a thylacine！＇ It is a bit like a gold prospector＇s blind faith，＂it has got to be there＂.However， Mooney treats all reports on face value. I never try to embarrass people， or make fools of them. But the fact that I don＇t pack the car immediately they ring can often be taken as ridicule. Obsessive characters get irate tliat someone in my position is not out there when they think the thylacine is there.＂But Hans Naarding， whose sighting of a striped animal two decades ago was the highlight of Ma life of animal spotting＂，remains bemused by the time and money people waste on tigersearches. He says resources would be better applied to saving the Tasmanian devil，and helping migratory bird populations that are declining as a result of shrinking wetlands across Australia.Could the thylacine still be out there？ MSure，w Naarding says. But he also says any discovery of surviving thylacines would be Mrather pointless＂. MHow do you save a species from extinction？ What could you do with it？ If there are thylacines out there， they are better off right where they are.＂Questions 14-17Complete the summary below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 14-17 on your answer sheet.The Tasmanian tiger， also called thylacine， resembles the look of a dog and has 14_________onitsfUrcoat.M£inyfossilshavebeenfound，showingthatthylacines had existed as early as 15______________years ago.
