17.False Fear Of Big Fish
Many people believe sharks are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humans.(36)B.A shark exhibition at the National Aquarium(水族馆)in Baltimore,USA.proves this.Visitors can touch young sharks,see their eggs develop and watch a dozen different species swim smoothly around a huge tank.
Most people fail to realize that shark attacks do not happen very often.Humans are more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark.(37)E.There kids can learn,from an early age,not to fear sharks.
"People fear what they don't know,"said Nancy Hotchkiss,an organizer of the exhibition."Sharks have been around for 400million years and play an important role in the ocean's food chain.We want people to discover that sharks are amazing animals that need our respect and protection."(38)D.A study,published in January in the US magazine,Science,found that almost all recorded shark species have fallen by half in the past 8to 15years.
Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods,and many others get caught in nets,while fishermen are hunting other fish.(39)G
"Some fishing methods are actually cleaning out the ocean for sharks,"said Dave Schofield,the manager of the aquarium's ocean health program.(40)C

A.They can watch them develop inside their eggs and feel the skin of the older swimmers
B.In fact,94percent of the world's 400species are harmless to humans
D.About 100million sharks are killed every year around the world by humans.
C.It is a worrying situation but some areas have put measures in place to protect these special fish.
E.And to make this point clear,the museum has set up a special touching pool for children.
F.Sharks can smell and taste blood,and trace it back to its source
G.More than half of the sharks caught are smaller than l meter long.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了并不是所有的鱼类都有害,大多鱼是无害的,并且惨遭人类捕猎.

解答 36.B.推理判断题.根据前文Many people believe sharks are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humans可知世界上400多种鱼类中94%都是无害的,故选B.
37.E.推理判断题.根据后文There kids can learn,from an early age,not to fear sharks可知这是一个令人担忧的情况,但一些地区已采取措施,以保护这些特殊的鱼;故选E.
38.D.推理判断题.根据后文Science,found that almost all recorded shark species have fallen by half in the past 8to 15years可知全世界每年有一亿鲨鱼被人类捕杀;故选D.
39.G.推理判断题.根据前文Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods,and many others get caught in nets,while fishermen are hunting other fish可知超过一半的鲨鱼被捕获小于l米长;故选G.
40.C.推理判断题.根据前文Some fishing methods are actually cleaning out the ocean for sharks,"said Dave Schofield,the manager of the aquarium's ocean health program可知这是一个令人担忧的情况,但一些地区已采取措施,以保护这些特殊的鱼;故选C.

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.

8.Nowadays,studying abroad is popular in China with many rich parents.They would rather send their children abroad to receive education than let them be educated in China.
As every coin has two sides,studying abroad is not an exception (例外).There are advantages for people to attend schools abroad.In the first place,he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved,as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve the second language than living in the country where it is spoken.While studying in a foreign country,he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world.This is not only exciting on the social level,but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well.He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the firstrate facilities available.In this way,there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizon and broaden his mind.
Of course,attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems.The most serious problem is language barrier.Most of the students who go abroad don't have enough skills in the language spoken there.As a result,on arriving there,they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say.Besides,for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people,they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.
In conclusion,given an opportunity to attend a school abroad,one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.

5.For more than six million American children,coming home after school means coming to an empty house.(51)DSome may hide.But all of them have something in common.They spend part of each day alone.They are called latchkey children.They're children who look after themselves while their parents work.(52)F
Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school.She said,"We had a school rule against wearing jewelry.A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached.I was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts.There were so many keys.It never came to my mind what they meant."(53)A
She and her husband began talking to the children who had them.They learned of the impact working couples and single parents were having on their children.(54)COne in every three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared.Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.
The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding.(55)GThe second is TV.They'll often play it at high volume.It's hard to get statistics(统计)on latchkey children,the Longs learned.Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

A.Slowly,she learned they were house keys.
B.But they don't mind.
C.Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone.
D.Some deal with the situation by watching TV.
E.Some go to their friends or their relatives.
F.And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.
G.It might be in a shower stall,under a bed or in a closet.

A.Necessity for developing adult education
B.Early days of adult education
C.Ways of receiving adult education
D.Growth of adult education
E.Institutions of adult education
F.Functions of adult education
(61)F
Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education.Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults.Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling,get new skills or job training,find out about new technological developments,seek better self-understanding,or develop new talents and skills.
(62)C
This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries,correspondence courses,or broadcasting.It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges,study groups,workshops,clubs,and professional associations.
(63)A
Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place:people were moving from rural areas to cities; new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.These and other factors produced a need for further education and re-education of adults.
(64)B
The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s,with the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics'institute in Glasgow.The earliest adult education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in Philadelphia in 1727.
(65)D
People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today.For example,parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.

B、You should build a right attitude.
C、You will benefit from a balanced study.
D、It is always better if you keep comprehensive notes.

F、Studying before class is as important as researching the subject after class.

Studying Tips and Techniques
If you often find yourself struggling with your studies,here are some useful tips and techniques that can help you out…
(71)F It is a common misconception that self-study can begin only after a particular topic or chapter is taught in class.You should start preparing for the class in advance.After attending classes,it is of great importance that you have time to review the notes that you have taken during the class as well as try and read more about the subject on your own.Be it (无论是)reference books,or e-books,try and find more information about your subject so that you have a comprehensive(全面的)view of the topics.Often while reading and self-studying,it happens that you come across doubts and questions that did not occur to you in the classroom.Try and answer these questions yourself with the help of books or the internet.However in case you fail to answer,write down these questions so that you remember to clarify the questions in your next class.
(72)E Involve yourself in group discussions about the subjects that you are studying.Group discussions can be a great way to broaden your viewpoint over important issues since group discussions give every group member a chance to voice their understanding,which might not necessarily be alike.Group discussions are thus a healthy and a rather informal way of exchanging information and discussing issues.Many teachers encourage the group discussion technique in their classroom as well.
(73)A No matter how much people disapprove of the process and the timetables,it is a known fact that having a clear and detailed project makes it easier for a person to reach a goal.According to your convenience,map out your daily/weekly/monthly study.It is always better to have a weekly or a daily arrangement,so that unexpected changes in class schedules or any other changes can be taken into consideration accordingly.
(74)C Yes,there exist some species of students who burn the midnight oil.The studying process should be such that it leaves enough room for a student to join in entertainment activities and relaxation.Always chalk out a schedule that will not influence your sleep,your health,your sports/entertainment activities and other routine tasks.Also studying a single subject at a stretch (like an entire week or so),can get boring,for this reason plan a schedule that helps you switch from one subject to another in enough time.
(75)B Normally students get too caught up with grades,the percentage and the entire marking system.Always remember that if you study with the aim of acquiring knowledge,the grades will be brighter.However,if you just aim for high grades,there is a chance you might get the grades,but you will miss out on acquiring comprehensive knowledge on a particular subject.Always study with the right point of view,and you will never have to worry about your grades.Knowledge is way beyond grades.
9.Ten years ago,I used to be very fit.(36)C I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks.In those days,I didn't earn very much.I had a job in an office.It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.(37)A The pay was better,but the hours were a lot longer.I bought a car and drove to work every day.I began to take people out to lunch.And I began to put on weight,too.I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more.
There's a lot of stress (压力) in my job.Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to.For example,I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home,but then I started filling my glass to the top.Then I had another glass,and then another.(38)E I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago,I had a heart attack.At first I just couldn't believe it."I'm too young."I said.Luckily it wasn't very serious.I was in hospital a few days and they did a lot of tests.(39)G He also advised me to work less and get more exercise.But I just haven't any time!(40)B
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job.Perhaps I could do something like I used to do.But if I do that,I won't earn as much.I have a family to support.I have to think of them,too.I just don't know what I should do.What do you think?
A.Then,about eight years ago,I got a much better job.
B.My job takes everything out of me!
C.I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends.
D.Drinking became part of my life.
E.I started smoking a lot,too.
F.Ten years later,I lost my first job.
G.The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less.
6.Although many Chinese students say their knowledge of English grammar is good,most would admit that their spoken English is poor.(36)E However,their spoken English does not have to remain poor.I would suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First,(37)B.Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.However,you can speak with a limited vocabulary if your attitude is positive.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second,(38)G.Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY.You want to get your message across,to talk to someone in English,as quickly and as well as you can,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense,but it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowance for any mistakes he hears.
The third,(39)A.You have one mouth but two ears!All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth,(40)C.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English,they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their spoken English always remains poor.If you have this proactive outlook,then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
A.not enough attention is paid to listening.
B.they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of limited vocabulary.
C.most Chinese students are not active language learners.
D.They are so stupid that they cannot finish their necessary homework in time.
E.Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say,"My spoken English is poor."
F.it is no use crying over spilt milk.
G.they are afraid of making mistake.
7.Question:I have been learning English for about 7 years.1(36)AAnd I still can't make myself understood in English.However,I love learning English.How can I learn English well?Please help me.
Answer:Many people have asked me this question.(37)FHere I will give you several tips for learning English.
(38)BFirst of all,you must want to learn.If you are not interested in learning English,no class will help you and no book will help you.So you have to be honest with yourself.Ask yourself,"Do I really want to learn English?"If you can't answer"yes"to this question,it is better for you to set English aside until you're ready and willing to learn.
Set goals (目标).
To learn English well,you must set some goals.(39)GIt will also help you to see your progress.Ask yourself,"What are my goals?What areas would I like to improve?"Think about what your goals are,and review once in a while to see that you are making progress toward your goals.
Practice,practice,and practice.
After you have set your goals,you have a better idea of what you need to practice.Just like the athlete whose goal is the Olympics must train daily,you as a language learner must practice language every day to make progress toward your goal.(40)E

A.I think it is not easy to learn it well.
B.Want to learn.
C.Reading is a very good way to learn new words.
D.Make friends with some Americans online.
E.The more you practice,the more progress you will make.
F.The answers are as different as the people asking the question.
G.Having goals will help you remember what areas you want to work on.
