B．Dick Mol had been working on mammoth for over two dozen years.
C．Scientists are thinking about cloning a mammoth using an elephant.
D．There are herds of woolly mammoths in natural parks.
Why the team believed that the four-foot mammoth tusk was the most important find？

Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
It was the single, strangely spiraled tusk that first alerted scientists. Sticking out of the ice covered by Siberian soil, like an ivory tombstone, it revealed the. presence of a true scientific wonder: underneath lay the frozen body of a mammoth.
The discovery has presented researchers with an unprecedented challenge--to move to laboratory, a mammoth's entire, undisturbed body where it can be analyzed at leisure and its biological secrets revealed.
Last week, scientists completed the first stage of this remarkable transfer, using a helicopter to lift a twenty-three-ton block of ice and mammoth to a new site where defrosting can be started.
As one of the team, Dutch paleontologist Dick Mol put it, "It's very exciting. I've been working on mammoths for more than 25 years, and this is a dream for me—to find the soft parts and touch them and even smell them."
In particular, the discovery and recovery of the 23,000-year-old body has raised speculation that it may be possible to clone a mammoth from one of its cells. Could the same process used to clone Dolly the sheep be attempted with a mammoth, using an elephant as a surrogate mother？
It is certainly an enticing prospect. Herds of woolly mammoths grazing the pastures of the world's many natural parks would be a mighty attraction, and a massive triumph for modem science, showing it could even resurrect eradicated species. Extinction would no longer be forever.
Mammoths once roamed the world's northern hemisphere until they abruptly disappeared. Some. scientists argue that as the last Ice Age ended, the world went through major ecological changes, and these large woolly mammals found life awkward, sweaty and unaccommodating. No longer able to compete for resources, they became extinct.
According to the first paragraph, what scientific wonder was discovered？
A．A mammoth had a strangely spiraled long nose.
B．A mammoth was like an ivory tombstone.
C．A mammoth stuck out of the Siberian soil.
D．There was a frozen mammoth under the Siberian soil.
A．Secondary
B．Underground
C．Unharnessed
D．Miniscule
A．Although it sells all of the telephones that it produces, Mammoth Industries" share of all telephone sales has declined over the last year.
B．Mammoth Industries" average inventory of telephones awaiting shipment to retailers has declined slightly over the last year.
C．Advertising has made the brand name of Mammoth Industries" telephones widely known, but few consumers know that Mammoth industries owns this brand.
D．Mammoth Industries" telephone is one of the three brands of telephone that have together accounted for the bulk of the last year"s increase in sales.
E．Despite a slight decline in the retail price, sales of Mammoth Industries" telephones have fallen in the last year.
A．Disappointed and surprised.
B．Optimistic and longing for.
C．Pessimistic and deeply worded.
D．Doubtful and unhappy.
When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found the woods and plains dominated by three types of American mammoths. These elephants were distinguished from today's elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward-curving tusks. They had arrived on the continent hundreds of thousands of years before their human followers. The wooly mammoth in the North, the Columbian mammoth in middle North America, and the imperial mammoth of the South, together with their distant cousins the mastodons, dominated the land. Here, as in the Old World, there is evidence that humans hunted these elephants, as shown by the numerous spear points found with mammoth remains.
Then, at the end of the Ice Age, when the last glaciers had retreated, there was a relatively sudden and widespread extinction of elephants. In the New World, both mammoths and mastodons disappeared. In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants survived.
Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths disappear？ Were humans connected with their extinction.* Perhaps, but at that time, although they were cunning hunters, humans were still widely scattered and not very numerous. It is difficult to see how they could have prevailed over the mammoth to such an extent.
Which of the following conclusions about mammoths does the passage support？
A．Humans hunted them to extinction.
B．The freezing temperatures of the Ice Age destroyed their food supply.
C．The cause of their extinction is not definitely known.
D．Competition with mastodons caused them to become extinct.
What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Mammoths can talk with scientists nowadays.
B．Scientists completed mammoth clone last week.
C．Scientists made speculation of cloning mammoths.
D．We should protect mammoths for they will extinct soon.
