The mans name is James Bartley. The records to prove h

15、is unusual experience are in the British Admiralty.Bartley was making his first trip on the whaling ship Star of the East. Suddenly the lookout sighted a huge sperm whale. The whalers knew it was a huge whale by the size of the spray it blew into the air. They lowered their small boats. James Bartle

16、y was in the first longboat. The men rowed until they were close to the whale. A harpoon was thrown and it found its mark. It sank into the whales flesh. The maddened beast crashed in to the boat, snapping its tail at the men and the wreckage of their boats. When the survivors were picked up, James

17、Bartley was missing.Shortly before sunset, the whale was finally captured. The sailors tied the whales dead-body to the side of the ship. Because of the hot weather it was important that they cut up the whale right away. Otherwise, the meat would begin to rot and the oil would begin to spoil. When t

18、hey got to the stomach, they felt something moving about wildly. They thought it would be a big fish still alive inside. But when they opened the stomach they found James Bartley. After this trip, Bartley settled in England, and never returned to sea.（分数：12.00）(1).This passage is mainly about _.（分数：

19、3.00）A.how to hunt whales for their oil and meatB.the hard and dangerous lives that whalers had to liveC.the duties of each man on a whaling shipD.a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived(2).The sailors knew that something was in the whales stomach because _.（分数：3.00）A.they could feel it moving

21、asick(4).The author, in telling James Bartleys story, informs us by _.（分数：3.00）A.narrating the plain factsB.referring to whaling in generalC.comparing whaling to other fishingD.dramatically telling what happened六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Never laugh at a snow covered mountain! Laughter and yelling

22、, during the avalanche season, can cause a deadly pile of snow. Huge snow slides are most common in mountains where there are steep slopes that are well buried in snow and ice. The snow builds up slowly and lands very softly. This can create a very touchy, unstable situation. Tons of snow may be hel

23、d up by only the friction between snowflakes. The deep snow is like a house of cards. The slightest movement can cause it to fall. As soon as something slips, this great mass of snow will come crashing down the mountainside.Slides may be started by sound vibrations. They may also be started by the w

24、eight of wet, melting snow. Once an avalanche has been triggered, the cause no longer matters. Moving down a steep slope, it picks up great speed and added snow. Some avalanches travel as fast as two hundred miles per hour. The force of an avalanche will mow down anything in its path. Whole houses h

25、ave been swallowed up by these fast-paced piles of snow.The wind that is caused by an avalanche is almost as destructive as the snow itself. Winds from an avalanche have been known to travel as fast as those of a tornado. So, when approaching a thickly snow covered mountain, speak softly!（分数：12.00）(

26、1).Avalanches can be started by _.（分数：3.00）A.falling snowB.the windC.loud soundsD.friction between snowflakes(2).We can conclude from this passage that avalanches _.（分数：3.00）A.are common everywhereB.are not very commonC.have killed peopleD.are a thing of the past(3).The writer compares an avalanche

27、to _.（分数：3.00）A.a tornadoB.a falling house of cardsC.a snowstormD.a speeding train(4).In this passage “unstable“ means _.（分数：3.00）A.frighteningB.fastC.shakyD.undesirable七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)What could be simpler than shaking fruit from a tree? Well, the job is a lot tougher than you might

28、think. There is definitely a right way and a wrong way to shake a fruit tree. And a person who is a good apple tree shaker may not be a good cherry tree shaker. Different fruits take different shakes.As a rule, a slow hard shake is best. This makes the fruit fall much faster than a light, quick jigg

29、le. Most fruits have a set number of shakes per minute that will do the best job of getting them out of the tree and onto the ground. To shake down plums, try shaking the tree four hundred times per minute, moving the tree two inches at each shake. Experts say youll get three times more fruit from t

30、he tree than you will if you shake eleven hundred times per minute at one inch per shake. Cherries, because they are smaller, need more jarring. A good rate of shaking seems to be about twelve hundred shakes per minute. Apples, like plums, need four hundred shakes.Of course, some folks may choose to

31、 ignore all these expert directions for jiggling fruit. Keeping track of all the numbers can be enough to drive some people up a tree.（分数：12.00）(1).A smaller fruit normally requires _.（分数：3.00）A.a ladderB.less shakingC.two people per treeD.more shaking(2).From this passage we can conclude that _.（分数

32、：3.00）A.good fruit pickers know how fast or slow to shake a treeB.most of the fruits are badly bruised when they hit the groundC.it really makes no difference how you shake a fruit treeD.too much shaking can damage the branches(3).The writer ends this story with _.（分数：3.00）A.a serious thoughtB.a sug

33、gestionC.a jokeD.a warning(4).The word “set“ means _.（分数：3.00）A.tiresomeB.greatC.fixedD.collected八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)You know that pearls grow inside oysters, but would you ever think to look for diamonds inside an ostrich? Well, a hunter once shot an ostrich and discovered, to his great s

34、urprise, that the big bird had swallowed a bunch of diamonds. How could such a strange thing happen?Like many other birds, the ostrich swallows small stones that stay inside its “gizzard.“ The gizzard is a birds second stomach. It is where the food is ground up. The small stones help to grind up the

35、 food so it can be digested. They do the chewing, because birds dont have teeth. In the case of the ostrich with the diamonds, the bird simply had expensive taste in rocks. He used the diamonds to help digest his dinner.Diamonds and stones arent all that an ostrich will swallow. If there are no ston

36、es around, it will eat just about anything. Sadly for ostriches in zoos this can be a fatal habit. The tendency to swallow anything it sees has caused the death of many an ostrich. Cruel or careless people often throw things into the birds living space. They throw keys, coins, even large objects suc

37、h as horseshoes. The ostrich swallows them without hesitation. Coins can be the worst. Inside the ostrich they wear down to a razor sharp edge. They will cut open the birds gizzard from the inside. One young zoo ostrich died with 484 coins, weighing more than eight pounds, in its gizzard.（分数：12.00）(

38、1).Ostriches eat stones because they dont have _.（分数：3.00）A.enough foodB.bird seedC.teethD.diamonds(2).The ostrich is not smart enough to _.（分数：3.00）A.digest its own foodB.eat only diamondsC.avoid eating harmful objectsD.escape from the zoo(3).The phrase “they do the chewing“ makes the rocks seem as

39、 though they are _.（分数：3.00）A.importantB.aliveC.dangerousD.uncomfortable(4).“Fatal“ is another word for _.（分数：3.00）A.foolishB.carelessC.deadlyD.cruel九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Sports have always been ruled by the weather. Rain, sleet, snow and cold called the plays. Baseball fans have often sat i

40、n the rain without cover, waiting for the sun to come out and the game to begin. Football lovers sometimes took days to warm up after sitting through a freezing cold Sunday game. For both sports fans and players, the domed stadium was like something out of a dream. A huge plastic bubble kept out rai

41、n and snow. There was heat to keep things comfortable year round.Domed stadiums have clearly changed the course of sports. Still, they did have their problems at first. Most of these problems were discovered and solved at the Houston Astrodome. This was the worlds first stadium with a lid. For the f

42、ans, it was great. But there were some problems for the players. Baseball outfielders had the most difficult time. They had to learn to catch in a field with a roof. At first this was almost as difficult as playing in the dark. The glass of the roof was light colored, to let sunlight in. Sunlight wa

43、s needed to keep the grass on the field alive. But the light roof blended(混合) too well with the white baseball. Fly balls seemed to drop out of nowhere. Even skilled fielders were making errors. Finally, the decision was made to paint the glass of the roof dark. The problem was solved. But what abou

44、t the grass?
