Off the coast of Hawaii’s Big Island swim masses of colorful tropical fish. Some of these fish will be caught and sold, ending up in aquariums around the world. Is the industry putting populations of the fish at risk?

Scientists who have studied the Big Island fishery say it is well managed. Rules put in place more than 15 years ago have helped to protect the fish. Along 35% of the coastline, for example, fish collecting is banned. Two years ago, the state cut the number of fish species for the aquarium trade from hundreds to just 40.

Conservationist Robert Wintner objects to the findings. Wintner, who owns snorkel shops across Hawaii, started the Snorkel Bob Foundation to protect the island’s coral reefs(珊瑚礁). He says he simply doesn’t see yellow tang(刺尾魚)in the protected areas. “There should be millions of them,” he says. “Where are they?”

Wintner says people believe the numbers in reports. But few people have actually dived into the coral reefs to see for themselves how many fish can be found there. According to Wintner, the coral reefs along the coast should be filled with yellow tang, but they are “virtually empty”. Empty reefs are not good for tourism, Wintner points out, which brings out $800 million yearly. By contrast, the aquarium-fish trade brings out just $2 million yearly.

1.According to Robert Wintner, ________.

A. the yellow tang is sold merely for both food and the aquarium industry

B. there are millions of yellow tang off Hawaii’s Big Island

C. the yellow tang’s population off Hawaii coast is large

D. what the recent report says is wrong

2.Which of the following is caused by the empty reefs?

A. Worse tourism B. More fish death

C. More hungry people D. Less swimming events

3.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Who will Win the Debate?

B. Is the Tropical Fish Healthy?

C. How Should We Protect Tropical Fish?

D. Should the Sale of Tropical Fish be Banned?

13．Sure，it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant．
And yes，it's good to get along with your teacher because，in general，it's smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life．
"But really，there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher．When you do，learning bursts right open，"says Evelyn Vko，a longtime teacher who writes an education column called"Teacher Says"for the Washington Post newspaper．
In fact，kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more，but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help．This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests．When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher，he or she can be someone to turn to with problems，such as problems with learning or school life，such as bullying．
As a kid in a primary or middle school，you're at a wonderful stage in your life．You're like a sponge （海綿），able to absorb lots of new and exciting information．On top of that，you're able to think about all this information in new ways．Your teacher knows that，in most cases，is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you make it．Remember，teachers are people，too，and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching yu．That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place-to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation，whether they like the teacher or not．But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher，and if things aren't going well，they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class．
33．In the passage，the author mainly talks aboutC．
A．how to get along well with others
B．how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
C．the importance of a good relation with teachers
D．how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
34．"Learning bursts right open"in the third paragraph really meansC．
A．there will be more problems with learning
B．you find an opening to learning
C．learning becomes easier for you at once
D．there will be no problems at all with learning
35．Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage？B
A．Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do．
B．Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching．
C．Though few，there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher．
D．Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies．

In 1924Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work"Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair''．Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love．His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America．He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971．
Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative，destructive and forever moving．He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast．"I need the sea because it teaches me，"he wrote．"I move in the university of the waves．"He loved how the sea forever renewed itself，a renewal echoed （共鳴） in his work．
32．The underlined word"Picasso"can probably be replaced by"B"．

I have always been the big fan of music, but to be honest I don’t know any person whom has ever openly disliked it. It’s one of true friend in life because it can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. With books, you have to be able to read, and music has no limits, no special conditions and was easily enjoyed by all. I don’t think there are many things in life for which have such a directly and clear influence on one’s feeling. Obvious, however, there are some people who are much influenced by music, and of course it depends what sort of music they’re into. Watch people react to one of their favorite songs is actually the best thing ever.

Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least Once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2.3 and 4of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowed area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.

Meal Plans Available

·Breakfast and Dinner

·Breakfast, Packed Dinner

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit,you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long -stay student . However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.
