8、ing 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 his unusual experience are in the British Admiralty.Bartley was making his first trip on the whaling ship Star of the East
9、. 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 Bartley was in the first longboat. The men rowed until they were close to the whale. A harpoon was thrown and it found its mark
10、. 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 Bartley was missing.Shortly before sunset, the whale was finally captured. The sailors tied the whales dead-body to the s
11、ide 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 they got to the stomach, they felt something moving about wildly. They thought it would be a big fish still alive inside.
12、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 whales for their oil and meat（B） the hard and dangerous lives that whalers had to live（C） the duties of each man on a wha
13、ling ship（D）a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived 22 The sailors knew that something was in the whales stomach because _.（A）they could feel it moving about wildly（B） the whale seemed very heavy（C） the whale was swelling at one spot（D）the captain heard Bartley yelling for help 23 James Bartley
14、 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 seasick 24 The author, in telling James Bartleys story, informs us by _.（A）narrating the plain facts（B） referring to whaling in general（C） comp
15、aring whaling to other fishing（D）dramatically telling what happened 24 Never laugh at a snow covered mountain! Laughter and yelling, 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 a
16、nd 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 snow is like a house of cards. The slightest movement can cause it to fall. As soon as something slips, this great
17、 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 triggered, the cause no longer matters. Moving down a steep slope, it picks up great speed and added snow. Some av
18、alanches 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.The wind that is caused by an avalanche is almost as destructive as the snow itself. Winds from an avalanche have
19、 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） loud sounds（D）friction between snowflakes 26 We can conclude from this passage that avalanches _.（A）are common ever
20、ywhere（B） are not very common（C） have killed people（D）are a thing of the past 27 The writer compares an avalanche to _.（A）a tornado（B） a falling house of cards（C） a snowstorm（D）a speeding train 28 In this passage “unstable“ means _.（A）frightening（B） fast（C） shaky（D）undesirable 28 What could be simpl
21、er than shaking fruit from a tree? Well, the job is a lot tougher than you might 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 h
22、ard shake is best. This makes the fruit fall much faster than a light, quick jiggle. 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 t
23、ree two inches at each shake. Experts say youll get three times more fruit from the 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.
24、 Apples, like plums, need four hundred shakes.Of course, some folks may choose to ignore all these expert directions for jiggling fruit. Keeping track of all the numbers can be enough to drive some people up a tree. 29 A smaller fruit normally requires _.（A）a ladder（B） less shaking（C） two people per
25、 tree（D）more shaking 30 From this passage we can conclude that _.（A）good fruit pickers know how fast or slow to shake a tree（B） most of the fruits are badly bruised when they hit the ground（C） it really makes no difference how you shake a fruit tree（D）too much shaking can damage the branches 31 The
26、writer ends this story with _.（A）a serious thought（B） a suggestion（C） a joke（D）a warning 32 The word “set“ means _.（A）tiresome（B） great（C） fixed（D）collected 32 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 ostri
27、ch 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 is a birds second stomach. It is where the food is ground up. The
28、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 digest his dinner.Diamonds and stones arent all that an ostrich w
29、ill 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 people often throw things into the birds living space. They throw ke
30、ys, 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 young zoo ostrich died with 484 coins, weighing more than eight p
31、ounds, in its gizzard. 33 Ostriches eat stones because they dont have _.（A）enough food（B） bird seed（C） teeth（D）diamonds 34 The ostrich is not smart enough to _.（A）digest its own food（B） eat only diamonds（C） avoid eating harmful objects（D）escape from the zoo 35 The phrase “they do the chewing“ makes
32、the rocks seem as though they are _.（A）important（B） alive（C） dangerous（D）uncomfortable 36 “Fatal“ is another word for _.（A）foolish（B） careless（C） deadly（D）cruel 36 Sports have always been ruled by the weather. Rain, sleet, snow and cold called the plays. Baseball fans have often sat in the rain with
33、out 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 rain and snow. The
34、re 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 fans, it was gre
35、at. 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 was needed to kee
36、p 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 about the grass? We
37、ll, the real grass was dug up and replaced with artificial turf! 37 This passage is about _.（A）baseball games（B） cold weather（C） how to play outfield（D）domed stadiums 38 Domed stadiums must have _.（A）artificial grass（B） bright sunlight（C） stained glass roofs（D）bright lighting 39 Based on the passage

I said I had【23】 heard of such a rule at any respectable theater【24】, and that I considered it a most absurd regulation. The man replied that he was very【25

It seemed to me that the management, in making this
