Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension ques

8、tions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 There has been, in history, a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. The mans name is James Bartley. The records to prove h

9、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

10、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 into the boat, snapping its tail at the men and the wreckage of their boats. When the survivors were picked up, James B

11、artley 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 th

12、ey 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.21 This passage is mainly about_.（A）how to hunt wh

13、ales for their oil and meat（B） the hard and dangerous lives that whalers had to live（C） the duties of each man on a whaling ship（D）a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived22 The sailors knew that something was in the whales stomach because_.（A）they could feel it moving about wildly（B） the whale

14、seemed very heavy（C） the whale was swelling at one spot（D）the captain heard Bartley yelling for help23 James Bartley probably never went to sea again because_.（A）he wanted different kinds of adventures（B） of fright and shock（C） he was crippled by the whale（D）he often got seasick24 The author, in tel

15、ling James Bartleys story, informs us by_.（A）narrating the plain facts（B） referring to whaling in general（C） comparing whaling to other fishing（D）dramatically telling what happened24 Never laugh at a snow covered mountain! Laughter and yelling, during the avalanche season, can cause a deadly pile of

16、 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 held up by only the friction between snowflakes. The deep sn

17、ow 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 weight of wet, melting snow. Once an avalanche has been tr

18、iggered, 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 have been swallowed up by these fast-paced piles of snow.T

19、he 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!25 Avalanches can be started by_.（A）falling snow（B） the wind（C） lou

20、d sounds（D）friction between snowflakes26 We can conclude from this passage that avalanches_.（A）are common everywhere（B） are not very common（C） have killed people（D）are a thing of the past27 The writer compares an avalanche to_.（A）a tornado（B） a falling house of cards（C） a snowstorm（D）a speeding trai

Nicholas Lanier has entered what he calls the “vast unknown. “ A combat veteran and father to four daughters, he cant remain in the military because of a serious back injury earned in Iraq.But he cant ye

22、t accept a civilian job because he doesnt know when the military will discharge(使退伍)him. He has no clue how much the government will pay him in disability compensation related to his injury, so he cant make a future budget. He just waits.Thousands of troops are like Lanier: not fully fit to serve bu

23、t in limbo(无着落)for about two years waiting to get discharged under a new system that was supposed to be more efficient than its predecessor. And the delays are not only affecting service members, but the militarys readiness as well. New troops cant enlist until others are discharged.The government d

24、etermines the pay and benefits given to wounded, sick or injured troops for their military service. Under the old system, a medical board would determine their level of military compensation and the service member would be discharged. Then the veteran essentially would have to go through the process

25、 again with the Veterans Affairs Department to determine benefits.Under the new system, which started in 2007 and will be completely rolled out at military bases nationwide by the end of September, the service member essentially goes through both disability evaluation systems at the same time before

26、 leaving the military. But the new, supposedly streamlined, system is still such a cumbersome process that its leaving many service members in limbo, they say.29 Why cant Sgt. Lanier serve in the military anymore?（A）Because of his injured back.（B） Because of his hand.（C） Because his vision has worse

27、ned.（D）Because he has a civilian job.30 Under the old system, an injured soldier would have to go through the claims process_.（A）once（B） twice（C） three times（D）more times31 Is the new system better than the old system?（A）Yes, its much better.（B） It is a lot more effective.（C） It doesnt seem that way

28、.（D）No. Its worse.32 How much will the government pay Sgt. Lanier in disability compensation?（A）They wont pay him anything.（B） He doesnt know.（C） They will pay him about $2,500 per month.（D）The government hasnt decided.32 You know that pearls grow inside oysters, but would you ever think to look for

29、 diamonds inside an ostrich ? Well, a hunter once shot an ostrich and discovered, to his great surprise, 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 i

30、s a birds second stomach. It is where the food is ground up. The small stones help to grind up the 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

31、digest his dinner.Diamonds and stones arent all that an ostrich will swallow. If there are no stones 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 peo

32、ple often throw things into the birds living space. They throw keys, coins, even large objects such 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

Rain, sleet, snow and cold called

35、the plays. Baseball fans have often sat in 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

36、dream. A huge plastic bubble kept out rain 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 w

37、orlds first stadium with a lid. For the fans, 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

38、 colored, to let sunlight in. Sunlight was 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 dar

39、k. The problem was solved. But what about the grass?
