One net held a very strange fish, five feet long and bright blue. Strangest of all, it had fins (鳍) that looked like legs!In the nets, only this fish remained alive for several hours. Before the creature began to rot, a young woman made a drawing of it. She sent her drawing to an expert on sea life, Professor J. B. Smith.Upon seeing her drawing of the fish, Professor Smith stared in disbelief. Could it be true? It just didnt seem possible, but there it was. It could be only one thing, a coelacanth, a fish believed to have died out fifty million years ago. How could the fish have been swimming about only a few days before?If one had been found, there must be others. The professor put up posters offering a reward for catching such a fish. Other scientists laughed at Smith. They insisted the search was a waste of time. Years passed. It began to look as if the other scientists were right. But Smith never gave up hope. One day, fourteen years later, the professor received a telegram. A fish had been caught that looked like the one in the poster. Would the scientist fly to the region and inspect the fish? Smith did.With shaking fingers the professor raised the cloth around the fish. It was exactly like the one in the young womans drawing. It was a coelacanth, a missing link with the past!After the discovery of the coelacanth, scientists began to wonder. Is it possible that an even stranger creature will someday be discovered?51. Which is TRUE about the first coelacanth in the passage?A. It had four legs.B. It was bright blue. C. It was six feet long.D. It died when caught.52. The coelacanth was believed to have died out for _.A. fourteen yearsB. fifty million yearsC. five million yearsD. a few years53. Which of the following gives the meaning of the last paragraph?A. Scientists didnt believe the discovery of the coelacanth.B. Scientists are working hard to find more coelacanths.C. Scientists may find even stranger creatures someday. D. Scientists are doing research on the coelacanth.BDear Jane, Barbara and Roger,As you know, weve been looking for a new house for some time. Now that all our children have left home, we find that the house is too big for us. Also, since your father retired, there has been no reason for us to stay in this district. Although we like our neighbors, weve decided to move south for two reasons. First, the weather will suit us better, and second, well be a little nearer to you, Uncle George and Auntie Hilda. It will make visiting each other much simpler. We stayed with your uncle and aunt last weekend and saw several houses. One of them sounded as if it were just what we wanted. The right number of rooms, a small garden, etc. When we saw it, we nearly died! It was in a terrible condition and would have cost a fortune to make it habitable (宜居的). The roof and all the walls needed repairing and the whole inside redecorating. After that, we were very cautious about believing details from the estate (房地产) agent. The next two we saw were not much better, but the fourth house was exactly what we wanted. It was empty, so were going to move in immediately. Well put all your things in boxes and take them with us. Youll have to sort them out, throwing away what you dont want. Can you all come next weekend? You can have a nice rest in the country. Telephone on Wednesday at the new number to let us know.Lots of Love,Mum and Dad54. The parents decided to move south because _.A. they didnt like travelingB. they wanted to go back to their hometownC. they both retired and they wanted to live with their childrenD. they wanted to be nearer to their relatives and they liked the weather in the south55. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Para 2 “When we saw it, we nearly died!”?A. We were at a loss for words when we saw the house.B. We were so tired since we had been to several houses.C. We were so excited because the house was exactly what we wanted.D. We were greatly disappointed because the house was in a poor condition.56. From the passage, we can understand that the estate agent _.A. overstated the exact condition of the houseB. did not have enough houses for people to choose fromC. tried to persuade people to buy houses in a poor conditionD. usually could not understand the need of their customers57. The purpose of the parents writing this letter is to _.A. ask their children to help them move houseB. express their regret for not being with their childrenC. inform the children that they will move to a new houseD. ask their children for suggestions about moving to a new houseCANTARCTIC FISHHave you ever wondered how some fish can live in icy cold waters without freezing? Scientists have made recent discoveries that help explain how the Antarctic cod (南极鳕鱼) is able to live in the freezing waters off the coast of Antarctica.The key word is ice.That describes the ocean around the edges of Antarctica. Far from land, a giant shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf, mud and pieces of ice provide a home to a world of algae (藻) and tiny animals. In that icy world there also lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work, and research has been slow in solving the problem. Now it seems we have an answer.Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish with hook and line. Scientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point, the temperature at which ice crystals (晶体) just begin to form. The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of 28.6 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and many ice crystals floating in it. The blood did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to 28.3 degrees F Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (32F). That small difference is enough that the fish can live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what kind of stuff in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their research led to some really mysterious stuff made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When this stuff was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze character and a lowered freezing point.58. Why have scientists waited so long to study the Antarctic cod?A. Not enough scientists have been curious about the fish.B. Algae and tiny animals hide in the ocean floor.C. The reason for the delay remains a secret.D. It is not easy to work in the Antarctic.59. What is the main purpose of paragraph 3?A. To describe the setting and the main topic of the article.B. To catch the interest of the reader with simple, direct language.C. To define important terms that will be used throughout the article.D. To introduce the main characters and describe a problem that will be explored.60. What keeps the Antarctic cods blood from freezing?A. A protein in its blood.B. The layer of fat in its body.C. A salt mixture in its blood.D. Ice crystals around its body.61. What is the main purpose of this article?A. To persuade readers to support scientific study of the Antarctic fish.B. To entertain readers with a funny story about an unusual fish.C. To explain how the Antarctic cod can live in freezing waters.D. To describe what it is like to live in a freezing cold ocean.DChildren have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They dont care much about who wins or loses, and it doesnt seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find childrens games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.62. What is true about children when they play games? A. They dont need rules. B. They want to pick a better team. C. They can test their personal abilities. D. They can stop playing any time they like.63. To become a leader in a game the child has to _. A. play well B. wait for his turn C. be confident in himself D. be popular among his playmates64. What do we know about grown-ups? A. They are not interested in games. B. They find childrens games too easy. C. They dont need a reason to play games. D. They dont understand childrens games.65. Why does a child like playing games? A. Because he can be someone other than himself. B. Because he can become popular among friends. C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games. D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Three quarters of old people live alone, and security is especially important to older people with poor eyesight.
