【題目】閱讀理解。

What looks like an angry old man and lives at the bottom of the ocean? It’s the world’s ugliest animal---the blobfish(水滴魚(yú)).

Its strange skin is shaped by its habitat. It lives 800 meters below the ocean’s surface, a depth where very few other creatures can survive.

Most fishes have a swim bladder(魚(yú)鰾), which is filled with gas and helps them stay afloat. At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldn’t be able to serve its purpose.

The blobfish don’t have a swim bladder because their skin works the same way. It helps them stay afloat without having to use any energy.

The blobfish have a pretty relaxed attitude towards eating. All they do is stay and wait for crabs or lobsters to come by.

Since the blobfish like to eat crabs and lobsters, they often get caught in nets that are used to catch lobsters or crabs and end up dying or being killed. They are not suitable for eating so they are useless for fishermen.

There’s a purpose behind the blobfish’s new title; it has become the new mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, an organization whose purpose is to preserve endangered ugly animals.

“We’ve needed an ugly face for endangered ugly animals for a long time and I’ve been amazed by the public reaction,” said the Society’s Simon Watt. “For too long cute animals have taken the limelight(風(fēng)頭) but now the blobfish will be a voice for those who always get forgotten.”They hope this new face will help the world know that we need to help preserve the populations of ugly animals too.

【1】The biggest difference between the blobfish and most other fishes is that the blobfish_____ .

A. cannot be eaten by people

B. don’t have a swim bladder

C. only live at high sea levels

D. aren’t active in catching food

【2】What makes the blobfish stay afloat?

A. Their skin. B. Their tail.

C. Their mouth. D. Their swim bladder.

【3】We can learn from what Simon Watt said that _____ .

A. most ugly animals are in danger

B. the population of the blobfish is increasing

C. the blobfish have attracted the public’s attention

D. people knew nothing about the blobfish in the past

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

試題分析：文章主要介紹了世界上最丑的動(dòng)物——水滴魚(yú)。以及動(dòng)物保護(hù)協(xié)會(huì)把它列為新的吉祥物，目的是讓人們保護(hù)瀕危的丑陋?jiǎng)游铩?/span>

【1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldn’t be able to serve its purpose.可知，由于水滴魚(yú)生活在海底800米處，水壓大，特殊的環(huán)境使得它們沒(méi)有魚(yú)鰾。故選B。

【2】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段第一句The blobfish don’t have a swim bladder because their skin works the same way.可知，水滴魚(yú)的皮膚的工作方式和絕大多數(shù)魚(yú)的魚(yú)鰾的工作方式相同。故選A。

【3】C 推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段Simon Watt說(shuō)的話可知，水滴魚(yú)作為長(zhǎng)得丑的瀕危物種，會(huì)讓全世界人注意到它們，并保護(hù)它們免于滅絕。故選C。

【題目】Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino(厄爾尼諾). The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.

One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.

The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.

【1】El Nino is known as ___.

A. the changing of the weather in southern Africa

B. the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean

C. the weather which brings drought(旱災(zāi)) to Africa

D. the weather phenomenon (現(xiàn)象)that brings heavy rains to Africa

【2】Scientists study El Nino in order that ___.

A. they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from drought

B. they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rain

C. they can do some research work in this field.

D. they can put all this information into their computers.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Nature is the name of the article written recently by the scientists.

B. Three scientists from the USA work on this subject.

C. Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger.

D. El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe’s poor crops.

【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass. I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the class, I could easy see the football field. In the mornings, it was full of students exercising. The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them. Farther in the distance, I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains. On the right side of the class was the road. I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming. If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it.

I was reading an article in a book while I came across a word I didn’t know. “Dad, what is the meaning of the word?” My dad, as he usual did after work, was watching his most favorite show. “You have the dictionary, don’t you?” he shot back. He didn’t even look up my face. I went back my room, and there on my study table is that dictionary. I looked it up and found it’s exact meaning. Ten year have passed and I still use that dictionary, along with the lesson I received earlier in life from my old man: to be independent.

【題目】閱讀理解。

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches(溝渠)along the highway I travel daily to work.

There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours; the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful

flowers.

This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, "I'II stop on my way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty.,." Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding tool one year for my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose.

One day on my way home from work, I was upset to see that the highway department had removed the ditches

and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, "Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring."

A week ago we were shocked and sad to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a serious brain disease. She is20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven't been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful

memories that will bloom every year for us.

And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

【1】 Why does the writer want to start a wildflower garden in her yard?

A. Because the flowers bloom only in the morning hours.

B. Because she can see the flowers every day for two weeks.

C. Because the flowers can remind her of her oldest sister-in-law.

D. Because she enjoys the way of life in company with the flowers.

【2】 Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The blue flowers in the ditches always draw my attention.

B. We don't get on well with the sister-in-law in practice.

C. I never stopped to dig the flowers for some reason.

D. The sister-in-law lives far from us.

【3】 According to the passage, the writer will .

A. stop to find the flowers whenever she drives along the highway

B. plant a variety of flowers in the garden in her yard in future

C. get as wonderful memories with the sister-in-law as before

D. get more close to the sister-in-law in the following days

【4】 What is the theme of the story?

A. Actions speak louder than words.

B. No sweets without sweat.

C. Time and tide wait for no man.

D. Opportunity belongs to whoever is prepared.
