　　2016年職稱英語(yǔ)考試《綜合B》概括大意真題及答案

　　Tunguska Event

　　1.A hundred years ago this week, a gigantic explosion ripped(撕裂)open the clear sky above a forest in western Siberia, leaving a scientific riddle that endures to this day.

　　2.A dazzling light pierced the heavens, followed by a shock wave as strong as 1000 atomic bombs. The explosion flattened 80 million trees across an area of 2000 square kilometers. The fireball was so great that, a day later, Londoners could read after the nearly Podkamennaya Tunguska river, still remains a mystery.

　　3.Experts suspect it was a rock that, after traveling in space for millions of years, was destined to crash to Earth as exactly 7:17 a.m on June 30, 1908. This possibility worries scientists. "Imagine an unspotted asterold(小行星)hitting a significant chunk of land and imagine if that area, unlike Tunguska, were populated," the British science journal Nature commented recently.

　　4.But no fragments of the "rock" have ever been found Finding such evidence would be important, for it would increase our knowledge about the risk posed by dangerous Near Earth Objects (NEOs), say Italian researchers Luca Gasperini, Enrico Bonam and Gisueppe Longo. When the next Tunguska NEO approaches, scientists will have to decide whether to try to deflect(使偏轉(zhuǎn))it or blow it up in space.

　　5.However, several rival theories for the Tunguska Event exist. Wolfgang Kundt, a professor at Germany's Boon University, believes the Tunguska Event was caused by a massive escape of 10 million tons of methane(甲烷)-rich gas from deep within earth's crust. Some people hold that the explosion was caused by an alien spaceship crash, of a black hole in the universe.
