1．It's easy to see how the sawfish got its name．These frightful creatures can grow to be more than 6 meters （nearly 20 feet） long．Their bodies are flat and winged，like underwater airplanes．And their noses are shaped like chainsaws．
Sawfish are predators of the sea．When a sawfish is hungry，it waves its sharp-toothed snout through a school of fish．Then，it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to inhale the injured victims．
Hardy populations of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years．Over the past 200 years，however，human actions have severely endangered sawfish．
Threats include fishing nets that snag the huge animals，often by mistake．Compared with other fish，sawfish reproduce late in life and at slow rates．These traits make it hard for them to recover from over fishing．
Some people collect sawfish snouts as trophies：One snout recently sold for nearly $1，600 on eBay．Shamans，or priests，in some Asian cultures，use the toothy snouts in ceremonies to repel demons and disease．And sawfish are also a delicacy．A growing demand in Asia for the animal's fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish's disappearance．
New efforts now aim to revive sawfish populations．Beginning next month，an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species．
"Until 1998，this fish had never been formally studied in the United States，"says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota，Fla．"We didn't know such basic things as where they live，what habitat they use，how often they reproduce，how many young fish they have．"
Through historical studies and field research，scientists have become aware of how much the fish's numbers have dwindled．Today，there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be．Wiley estimates that only 3，000 to 6，000 sawfish remain in US waters．
72．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？A
A．Long Nose，Hopeful Future B．The Mote Marine Laboratory
C．Sawfish in US D．The Past of the Sawfish
73．The sawfish got its name becauseC．
A．It can grow to be more than 6 meters long
B．Its body is flat and winged，like underwater airplanes
C．Its nose is shaped like chainsaws
D．It can be used as a saw to cut down the trees
74．The number of sawfish becomes smaller than before becauseB．
A．compared with other fish，sawfish reproduce early in life and at fast rates
B．in some Asian cultures，the toothy snouts can be used in ceremonies to repel demons and disease
C．sawfish are also smelly，which attracts people to kill them
D．fishing nets that snag the huge animals，often on purpose kill them
75．From the passage we can learn thatC．
A．scientists knew where they live，what habitat they use before 1998
B．scientists have become aware of how much the fish's numbers have dwindled until 1998
C．there may be 30，000 to 60，000 sawfish in the past
D．there may be 90 percent more sawfish than there used to be．

15．There was great excitement on the planet of Venus this week．For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth，and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since．
The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan （named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof．Manhattan，who first discovered it with his telescope 20，000light years ago）．
Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals，Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth．A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology．
"We have come to the conclusion，based on last week's satellite landing，"Prof．Zog said，"that there is no life on Earth．"
"How do you know this？"the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked．
"For one thing，Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there．For another，the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive．"
"What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned？"
"We shall have to take our own oxygen with us，which means a much heavier flying saucer than we originally planned．"
"Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies？"
"Take a look at this photo．You see this dark black cloud hovering over the surface of Earth？We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt．We don't know what it is made of，but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there．"
"Over here you will notice what seems to be a river，but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink．This means We shall have to carry our own water，which will add even greater weight to the saucer．"
"Sir，what are all those tiny black spots on the photographs？"
"We're not certain．They seem to be metal particles that move along certain paths．They emit gases，make noise and keep crashing into each other．There are so many of these paths and so many metal particles that it is impossible to land a flying saucer without its being smashed by one．"
"What are those stalagmite projections sticking up？"
"They're some type of granite formations that give off light at night．Prof．Glom has named them skyscrapers since they seem to be scraping the skies．"
"If all you say is true，won't this set back the flying saucer program several years？"
"Yes，but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds．"
"Prof．Zog，why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there？"
"Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere，then we can live anywhere．"
