| Question:What is more astonishing than a 60-ton whale on a flatbed truck being driven down the street? Answer:A 60-ton whale on a flatbed truck exploding and rai- ning blubber( fat of whales) all over the sidewalk. That's what happened in Taiwan recently,when a dead sperm whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Centre for an autopsy (尸体解剖) developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up before it reached its destination. The whale was found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend, and died shortly after it was discovered. Since the 56-foot whale was the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan's shores,scientists wanted to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose. Obviously,too much time passed between when the animal died and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location,because it had already started to go bad. When things rot,they give off gases as a by-product. In the whale's case,the gases were trapped in its belly. The pressure inside the rotting creature grew so much that it popped like an over-filled balloon. Unfortunately,it was on a truck in the middle of the city of Taiwan at the time ;cars and shops lining the street were covered with whale bits and juices,much to their owners' discouragement. According to news reports,traffic was tied up for hours while of ficials tried to clean up the streets. Newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to them- selves,since they had a ready-made headline; several reports about the incident were titled " There She Blows ! " after the famous line from the book Moby Dick. |
| 1. The purpose of the question at the beginning of this news report is to ___. |
| A. explain the reason B. sell newspapers C. attract readers D. give an immediate answer |
| 2. The whale's explosion was the result of___． |
| A. pressure from gases building up in the creature as it began to rot B. the long transport of the creature from the beach to the centre C. the extremely busy traffic in the streets it passed by D. the quick process of rotting of the animal |
| 3. What is the correct order of the incidents? a. The whale was set to a flatbed truck. b. The whale was discovered. c. The whale exploded. d. The whale died. |
| A. b;c;a;d B. d;c;b;a C. b;d;a;c D. d;b;a;c |
| 4. What do we know from the last paragraph? |
| A. Some newspaper editors were laughed at. B. Moby Dick is the name of a woman writer. C. All the newspapers reported the story under the same title. D. The title" There She Blows ! " is taken from the book MobyDick. |

| Most people say" yes" much more readily than" no". A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help,and you agree. But, what you really wanted was relaxing at home for a couple of quiet days,or a roommate spends the whole weekend playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for"reference". But,you've just finished it after working hard for a whole day. Many people say" yes" to this kind of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings,and are often angry with themselves afterwards. Saying" no" requires courage and considerable practice. " Everyone wants to be liked. " says Gabriele Steinki,a German psychologist. "Saying'no'risks losing the affection of the person asking for the favor. Or even a job. "The result is that many people say"yes"just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say" no". In fact, rejecting a request can even help to stabilize a relationship because it expresses real affection. But,for peop'le accustomed to agreeing every request,it's very distressing to say" no". Most people believe that if they say" no" ,they'll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to them. This way of thinking can be replaced by this:"If he only likes me because I always do what suits him,then the price of this affection is too high in the long term. " When people say " no", Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly until the person gets the message. |
| 1. What does the second paragraph tell us? |
| A. In fact people are usually selfish. B. Sometimes people say " yes" when they really want to say no . C. It's not suitable to ask others to help at weekends. D. It's disgusting to borrow homework for reference. |
| 2. Many people don't say" no" though they really want to because |
| A. they dare not offend the asker B. they are afraid of breaking the good relationship with the asker C. they don't care about their own feeling D. they are good-tempered |
| 3. The underlined word" distressing" can be replaced by "____ ". |
| A. comfortable B. funny C. unnecessary D. uncomfortable |
| 4. The best title for the passage would be _____. |
| A. You Need Courage to Say "No" B. Saying" No"Is More Important Than Saying" Yes" C. Saying " No" Would Bring Benefits D. The Art of Saying " No" |

| Sitting is an art that isn't getting passed along. People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working,they are jogging,or playing tennis or golf,or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies-or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn't sitting-it's watching. People used to sit a whole lot. They would walk down the street or drive down the road,and there they would be,out on the doorsteps, sitting. They could go down to the store and sit on the bench out in the summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare parts,they could kick back and sit. Houses used to have sitting rooms,where the grown-ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest(消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel's illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play,and the afternoon could pass by in a comfortable haze (悠闲的氛围) . That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正充电的电池) doesn't look as if it's doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life, don't just do something-sit there. |
| 1. What message does the author try to get through to us? |

| Before a new type of airplane goes into service,every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. The first is called the" tank test". A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure(结构) of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压 力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail,the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally,there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger. The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines(发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot's job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers. |
| 1. By doing the"tank test" ,the engineers can find out___． |
| A. the amount of air in the plane B. the strength of the plane structure C. the pressure inside and outside the plane D. the power of the airplane engines |
| 2. What will happen to the plane under the "tank test" ? |
| A. It will be broken. B. It will be made stronger. C. It will be filled with water. D. It will be tested by pilots. |
| 3. According to the text,why are test flights most dangerous? |
| A. The plane may explode in the air. B. The pilot may lose control of the plane. C. The engines may be damaged. D. Too much air may get into the plane. |
| 4. What might be the most suitable title for the text? |
| A. Two Important Tests on Airplanes. B. The Importance of Flying Safely. C. The Danger of Testing Airplanes. D. How Airplanes Are Made and Tested. |

| LONDON ( Reuters) -Ecotourism (生态旅游) is causing a lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival(生存) of the very animals people are flocking to see,according to researchers. Biologists and conservationists (自然环境持论者) are worried because polar bears,dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying. "Evidence (证据) is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard,"New Scientist Magazine said. The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior,heart rates,or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term" could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see. " Although money produced through ecotourism,which has been growing at about 10 - 30 percent a year,has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas,the Swiss-based World Conservation Union(IUCN) and some govemments fear not all projects are audited (审查) and based on environmentally friendly policies, according to the magazine. "Transmission (传播) of disease to wildlife,or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels,while not obvious to the casual observer,may translate to lower survival and breeding," said Philip Seddon,of the University of Otago in Dunedin,New Zealand. Scientists have noticed that bottle-neck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by ecotourists that are producing smaller babies. Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully, They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started. "The animals' welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism," said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand. |
| 1. What's the theme of the text? |
| A. Many animals are dying for lack of money. B. There will be no ecotourism without animals. C. Ecotourism could endanger the survival of the wildlife people want to see. D. More research should be done on ecotourism. |
| 2. We may learn from the text that ____ . |
| A. ecotourism must be developed properly B. polar bears are losing weight without enough food C. all the poor countries have stopped ecotourism D. money produced through ecotourism should be spent on wild life |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text? |
| A. Many animals do not react well in their backyard. B. Polar bears in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies. C. Ecotourism has been growing at about 10 - 30 percent ayear. D. Studies should be done before new ecotourism projects are started. |
| 4. What Rochelle Constantine said in the last paragraph implies that____． |
| A. if people want to get high income,they must develop ecotourism B. animals have rights to live their own life C. animals are people's good friends D. people should take good care of wildlife |
