题目内容

     When humans and nature go head to head，nature often ends up losing．Rivers get polluted．Trees are knocked down．Natural resources are exhausted．That’s what makes the Galapagos Islands so special―it’s one of the few pristine(原始状态的)places on Earth that nature can truly call its own．

      For people used to having wild animals run at the scent of humans，a visit to the Galapagos is a real eye-opening experience．Over 1，600 km west of Ecuador(厄瓜多尔)，the islands are home to a unique variety of animals that have absolutely no fear of people．Visitors call play on the beach with sea lions and giant sea turtles，swim with dolphins and whales，and get close enough to the penguins(企鹅)to count the eggs in their nests．

The islands were declared a national park over 40 years ago，and the number of human visitors is tightly limited to avoid damaging the environment or putting stress on the animals．Tourists have to pay a $100 daily visitors fee，and can’t step off the boat unless accompanied(陪同)by an official guide．

    Once on the islands，you have to stay on the trail，but that rarely presents a problem：the animals are so curious about people that they’ll usually come up to say hello．

    “It’s a little like being in a zoo，”said one traveler．“But instead of us looking at the animals．The animals are looking at us．”

Aside from the wildlife，one of the islands’ more unusual features is its post office．You can send postcards for free，but the catch is that there’s no postman to collect them．Instead，travelers pick up mail addressed to people who live near them back home，and then hand-deliver the postcards when their trip is finished．

 

60．The Galapagos Islands are__________________．

    A．terribly polluted                                   B．near Ecuador

    C．in the Atlantic Ocean                            D．independent of Ecuador

61．Which animal is NOT mentioned in the passage?

    A．Whales．          B．Sea lions．           C．Goats．                   D．Dolphins．

62．On the Galapagos Islands the mail is delivered by____________________．

    A．the government                                  B．the post office

    C．the tourists                                        D．the guides 

63．What would be the best title for the passage?

    A．The Island―Galapagos                       B．Humans and Nature

    C．Go Head to Head                                D．Ecuador―an Island Country

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.
53．Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?
A．No one has come to disturb us.
B．Everything is so quiet and calm around us.
C．The book we are reading is so interesting and attractive.
D．Our book is so boring that we are to finish it at a fast speed.
