17．There are nearly 400different types of sharks，but only about 30types are known to have attacked human beings．Many people know that（46）the most dangerous shark is the great white shark，probably because they have（47）seen（see） the film Jaws．However，two other sharks are also rather dangerous：the tiger shark and the bull shark．
Contrary to what many people might assume，evidence shows that sharks seldom attack humans．There （48）arethree types of shark attacks．In the main type，the shark（49）attacks （attack） you because it mistakes you for a fish，but when it tastes human flesh it decides to give up and swims away．In the second type，the shark pushes you with（50）its（it） nose to find out if you are fit to be eaten，and then bites you if it thinks you are．In the third type，the shark waits（51）for you to swim by，and then attacks you suddenly．The last two types of attack more often result in the death of humans．
To reduce the risk of a shark attack，you should follow these（52）suggestions（suggestion）．
•Do not swim in the dark．Sharks can still see you but you cannot see them．
•Do not go （53）swimming（swim） in the ocean if you have a fresh wound．Sharks can smell blood over a long distance．
•Do（54）not wear bright clothing or jewellery，because sharks are attracted to the flash of colours and bright objects．
•Stay in groups，as sharks （55）usually（usual）avoid large numbers of people．

9．A gap year is a time out to travel between life stages．It is also known as a time off and a year out，（35）Bto a period of time （not necessarily 12months） in which people slip away from curricular education or work and （36）Cactivities such as travelling，volunteering or working abroad．
Nigel Portman，a love of travelling，began with his"gap year"in high spirits．In common with many other British teenagers，he chose to take a year out before setting（37）Ato study for his degree．After doing various jobs to（38）Bsome money，he left home to gain some experience of life in different cultures，visiting America and Asia．The more adventurous the young persons，the （39）Cthe challenge they are likely to （40）B themselves for the gap year，and for some，like Nigel，it can （41）Ain a thirst for adventure．
Now that his university course has（42）Ato an end，Nigel is just about to leave on a three-year trip that will take him（43）D around the world．What's more，he plans to make the whole journey using only means of transport which are（44）Dby natural energy．In other words，he'll be（45）Amostly on bicycles and his own legs； and when there's an ocean to cross，he won't be taking a（46）Bcut by climbing aboard a plane，he'll be joining the crew a sailing ship  （47）C．
As well as doing some mountain climbing and other outdoor pursuits along the way，Nigel hopes to（48）Con to the people he meets the environmental message that lies behind the whole idea．
For Nigel，gap year travelling is personal development and exciting adventures．He will come home with broadened horizons and a new confidence in（49）D he is capable of．
If you want to find a new skill，develop a passion，make friends and have adventures while travelling，gap year will do offer something for you!

4．From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation．When children are little we make them read aloud，before the teacher and other children，so that we can be sure they"know"all the words they are reading．This means that when they don't know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone．After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years，I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books，and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously．
    One day soon after school had started，I said to them，"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before．I would like you to read a lot of books this year，but I want you to read them only for pleasure．I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not．If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it，that's enough for me．Also I'm not going to ask you what words mean．"
    The children sat surprised and silent．Was this a teacher talking？One girl，who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time，looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished．Then，still looking at me，she said slowly and seriously，"Mr Holt，do you really mean that？"I said just as seriously，"I mean every word of it．"
    During the spring she really astonished me．One day，she was reading at her desk．From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was．I said to myself，"It can't be，"and went to take a closer look．Sure enough，she was reading Moby Dick，in the edition with woodcuts．I said，"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going？"She answered，"Oh，sure，but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part．"
    This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is，an exciting，joyous adventure．Find something，dive into it，take the good parts，skip the bad parts，get what you can out of it，go on to something else．How different is our mean-spirited，picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of"understanding"that can be dug out of a book．
29．According to the passage，children's fear and dislike of books may result fromD．
A．reading little and thinking little      
B．reading often and adventurously
C．being made to read too much     
D．being made to read aloud before others
30．Upon hearing the teacher's talk，the children probably felt thatC．
A．it sounded stupid
B．it was not surprising at all
C．it sounded too good to be true
D．it was no different from other teachers'talk
31．Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage？C
A．She skipped over those easy parts while reading．
B．She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks．
C．She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books．
D．She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school．
