12．The long，lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over．
A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year's tsunami （海啸），sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday．
The cutter's guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru，and then it began to take on water and lean to one side．In about four hours，the ship disappeared into the sea，said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow．
The ship had no lights or communications system，and its tank was able to carry more than 7，570 liters of diesel fuel．Officials，however，didn't know exactly how much fuel was aboard．
"It's less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships，"coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said．
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment．
Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of  refrigerators，washing machines，televisions，roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan．
As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel，a Canadian fishing vessel，the 19-meter Bernice C，claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters．
Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship．A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it．
Then the Canadian boat left，and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel，the Coast Guard began to fire，first with 25 mm shells，then a few hours later with ammunition twice that size．
State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant，to see if Alaska residents，seafood or wild animals could be affected．

56．Which of the following is NOT the reason for sinking the Japanese ship？A
A．It had no lights or communications system．
B．It might be washed up onto the shore．
C．It was a danger to other passing ships．
D．The oil it carried could pollute the sea．
57．The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused becauseD．
A．the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard's guns
B．the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship
C．state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation
D．a Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship
58．What's the right order of the events related to the ship of Ryou-Un Maru？
B
a．Its long，lonely voyage came to an end．
b．The US Coast Guard sank it into the sea．
c．The ship began to float across the Pacific Ocean．
d．A big tsunami was caused by great earthquakes．

   A．a，b，d，c，e     B．d，c，e，b，a     C．b，a，d，c，e     D．c，e，d，a，b
59．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage？C
A．Japanese ghost ship arriving at US
B．Tsunami garbage heading to US
C．Cannon fire sinking Japanese ghost ship
D．Japanese ghost ship polluting the Pacific．

分析 本文叙述了一艘废弃日本的ghost船被炮火击沉，文中提到了击沉的几个原因，一是它可能会被冲到海岸带来危险．二是它对来往的船带来危险．三是它的燃料会给海洋带来严重的污染．

解答 56．A：细节理解题．根据第五段It's less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships和it was safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment．它会运行到岸边或碰到其他船只，下沉的船比让燃油蒸发污染海洋环境安全风险低，可知B，C，D选项均正确，故选A．
57．D：细节理解题．根据倒数第四段As the coast guard was ready to fire on the ship，a Canadian fishing ship，the 19-meter Bernice C，claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters．一艘加拿大渔船想要救它，故选D．
58．B：内容把握题．由全文内容可知，本文先写因一个大的海啸使得船开始漂浮，开始穿过在伯尼斯洋，船长声称要拯救幽灵船的权利，可是最终美国海岸警卫队把它沉入大海，它漫长的孤独的旅程结束了．由顺序，故选B．
59．C．标题归纳题．根据The long，lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over．CA US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire（开炮） into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship 日本幽灵船漫长的孤独的航行结束了，美国海岸警卫队对船开炮了．且全文都围绕这一事件来写，故选C．

点评 标题是文章中心思想的精炼表达，多为词组或短语，涵盖性强．做这类题目时，要在阅读全文的基础上，以文章话题为核心，通过比较选项的概括性或 覆盖面，得出正确的标题．正确标题的归纳范围要恰如其分，避免过于具体或断章取义．错误的干扰往往是局部信息，以事实细节替代概括大意．

D．What is the most appropriate test date for you？
E．Where do you stand in your high school coursework？
F．What are the factors determining your choice of test time？

76D．
The ACT is offered nationally several times a year，between September and June．However，it's not offered at every test center on each test date．If you need to take the ACT on a day other than Saturday because of religious reasons，you'll want to be especially attentive in selecting a test date because the non-Saturday dates are less frequent and are held at fewer test centers．
77A．
One of the first things you should find out，then，is where the ACT is being offered in your area．A quick and easy way to get that information is by accessing ACT's website at www．actstudent．org．Or your high school guidance counselor should be able to give you that information．It's also printed in the booklet Registering for the ACT，which is available free from your school counselor．Often，your own or a neighboring school will serve as a test center．
78C．
One important decision you need to make is whether you should take the ACT during your junior or your senior year in high school．A number of factors will affect this decision．First，you should find out when colleges you're interested in need to have your test scores．Is there a special program or scholarship for which you want to apply？If so，is there a deadline by which you need to have test scores submitted to the college or agency？Score reports are normally mailed about 3-7weeks after the test date．Just be sure you're doing everything，including taking the ACT，early enough to keep all your options open．
79E．
Another consideration in deciding when to take the ACT is where you stand in your high school coursework．If you're in a college-prep program and taking a lot of courses in English，mathematics，and science in your sophomore and junior years，it may be wise for you to take the ACT in your junior year，while those subjects are still fresh in your memory．If，on the other hand，you're studying material covered on the ACT during your senior year，it's reasonable to assume that your performance on the ACT might be better then．
80B．
Perhaps you'll decide to take the ACT more than once，in hopes of improving your score．In that case，it's probably better to take the exam in your junior year to allow time for a second try．There are several advantages to taking the ACT in your junior year：（i） You probably will have completed much of the coursework corresponding to the material covered on the ACT．（ii）You'll have your ACT scores and other information in time to help make decisions about your final year of high school coursework．（iii） You'll have your ACT scores and information from colleges in time to make decisions about visiting campuses or contacting schools．
