10、as 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. It sank into the whales flesh. The maddened beast crashed into the boa
11、t, 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 side of the ship. Because of the hot weather it was important that they cu
12、t up the whale right away. Otherwise, the meat would begin to rot and oil would begin to spoil. When they got to the stomach, they felt something moving about wildly.

16、es wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and previous metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only becaus
17、e everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes“ , or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light.

A. , joined the union as the forty-ninth state in 1959.Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states of
22、 the U. SIt was in 1867 that President A. Johnsons Secretary of State(国务卿), Seward bought Alaska from the Russians at a cost of 7. 2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at first something foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, a
23、nd it appeared to have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies on the Pacific “ring of fire“. In Alaska large treeless areas are covered with snow all the year. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called “Sewards Fooly“ at that time.However, in 1896 gol
24、d was found in Alaska, and people poured tin to the land quickly. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon people changed their thinking about “Sewards Fooly“. But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of nature that the northern land di
25、scloses to them. For instance, there are a-bout 11, 000 islands in Alaska. And in a certain area of Alaska the sun does not set for 82 days every year.29 Alaska belonged to_before 1867.（A）Russia（B） America（C） Canada（D）Japan30 The buying of Alaska was first called_（A）a foolish thing（B） Sewards Fooly（

Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Bool of World Records as the worlds largest underg
28、round lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian Nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile
29、from the entrance, in room called “the Council Room“ , many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 19
30、05. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than t
31、hirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.33 The Lost Sea is unique because it is_.（A）part of a historical cave system（B） the biggest undergrou
32、nd lake in the world（C） listed in the Guinness Book of World Records（D）the largest body of water in Tennessee34 The Craighead Caverns have been known_.（A）through history（B） since the time of the Indian Nations（C） since 1905（D）since divers explored them35 Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?（A）T

But
34、 when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family“ in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of
35、a new and independent family hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving ones parents and starting ones own life. The mans first duty will then be to his wife, and the wifes to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for he
36、r financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wifes parents nor the husbands, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with themthey are their own masters.Readers of no
37、vels like Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girls parents, that is, it was the parentsduty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to
38、ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parentshome, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job w
39、hen they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.37 What does the author mean by“family is of course an elastic word“?（A）Different families have different ways of life.（B） Different definit
40、ions could be given to the word.（C） Different nations have different families.（D）Different times produce different families.38 For an English family, the husbands duty is_.（A）supporting the family while the wife is financial（B） defending the family while the wife is running the home（C） financial whi
