As soon as we took the sails down to fix the masts, we were hit by a32wind so suddenly and so hard; it would33have blown us over if our sails were up at the time. ”“How lucky! ”“Thats34what I thought at the time, too. But because our sails were down, we couldnt take control, and because of the wind, we were blown onto a reef. The hole in the ship was too big to fix. We were stranded (搁浅) . ”“That is bad luck indeed. ”“Thats what I thought, too, when it first35. But we all made it to the36alive and had plenty to eat.

Social networking sites have bee extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as“friends”and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends? In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites. These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; theres also a certain amount of control over privacy that we dont get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a“friend”request from a parent or family member. Its a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to bee a part of our online lives. On the one hand we dont want to“reject”their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to ment or municate the way you did before. A recent survey suggested that parents shouldnt take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parents friend request, it doesnt necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent. ”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friend list. 46. From Paragraph 2, we learn that. A. parents have realized the importance of social networksB. social networks successfully fill the generation gapC.parents feel secure about their privacy onlineD. social networks offer a platform for parents to municate47. Teenagers may refuse a parents friend request because. A. they hide something from their parentsB. they are unwilling to be watched by parentsC. their parents tend to fall behind in technologyD.their parents make negative ments on them 48. The passage is mainly about. A. privacy online B. social networksC.the generation gap D.parents friend requests 49. The passage is written mainly for. A. teachersB. parents C.teenagersD. researchersBExperts estimate that one out of every five fish sold was caught illegally. It threatens (威胁) food security and hurts the environment. Officials are using new observational technology to fight illegal fishing. “Thank you for taking the time to join us here in Harwell (UK) in the Operations Center to what we callProject Eyes on the Seas. ”says Tony Long, who leads the Ending Illegal Fishing program for Pew Charitable Trusts. The group created Project Eyes on the Seas. Large three-dimensional images of a globe can be seen on a video. “It looks different from what you might expect because this globe only shows you the boats that are ing into this system from a live automated information system or AIS. ”The screen shows 120, 000 fishing boats have AIS. They are required to have the technology. But those who are fishing illegally often turn it off. The technology does not tell observers when that happens. Project Eyes on the Seas bines satellite information with secret government records on every ships past activities. Mr Long says that permits researchers to understand exactly where the fishing boats are operating. The Pew team gives the information it gathers to port officials to help them decide if they should take action against a ship. Tony Long says he would like to be able to provide port officials all over the world with clear lists. They would inform the officials about ships to inspect, ships to ban from entrance, and ships to permit entrance for trade activities. The Pacific island nation of Palau was an early user of the technology. Palau has one of the richest fishing areas in the world. Last year, it announced a plan to ban mercial fishing in a 630, 000 square kilometer area. K. B. Sakuma is a special adviser to the president of Palau. He says Palau is trying to deal with a recent increase in illegal, unsupervised (无人监管的) and unreported fishing. “And its e to a head in the last year or two. From our southern island in the evening you can see on the horizon just dotted lights of these illegal fishermen that e into our waters, fill their ships with our fish, our resources, our food security. . . ”50.

The name was given in honor of Sir Benjamin Hall, who was in charge of the work when the bell was built in 1856. It didnt strike until 3 years later. The clock has bee a landmark of the United Kingdom and London, particularly in the visual media (可视媒体) . When a television or film-maker wishes to quickly show a non-UK audience a certain location in Britain, a popular way to do so is to show an image of the Clock Tower. The Clock Tower is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes (报时钟声) to wele the start of the year. Londoners who live a proper distance from the Clock Tower and Big Ben can, by means of listening to the chimes both live and on the radio or television, hear the bell strike thirteen times on New Years Eve. This is possible because the speed of sound is a lot slower than the speed of radio waves. Big Ben has appeared in many films. In the 1978 version of The Thirty-Nine Steps, the hero attempted to halt the clocks progress to prevent a linked bomb blowing up by hanging from the minute hand of its western face. It was also used in the filming of Shanghai Knights starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, and was described as being partially destroyed in the xx film Doctor Who. An animated version (卡通版) of the clock was also used as the setting in the Walt Disney film The Great Mouse Detective, and was shown being destroyed by a UFO in the film Mars Attacks! 53. Big Ben has served people for at leastyears. A.153 B. 148C. 146D.151 54. The second paragraph mainly wants to show us that Big Ben is. A. a most popular scene for film-makersB. a symbol of UK and London C. a must-see sight for tourists to LondonD. a popular place to have pictures taken55. The underlined word“halt”in Paragraph 5 probably means.

Many people blame this change on gases such as carbon dioxide. Animals and humans produce carbon dioxide when they breathe. However, many other human activities also let off carbon gases. Anytime something is burnt, carbon is put into the atmosphere. Cars and other vehicles burn petrol in their engines, and electrical power plants most often burn fuels such as coal and oil in order to produce electricity. Therefore, the more petrol and electricity we consume, the more carbon we are letting off.One thing we can all do to help solve this problem is to walk or use a bicycle when possible. Although we produce carbon when we breathe, the carbon we produce is much less than that produced by a car. Of course, there are times when we need to travel long distances. In this case, public transport such as buses and the underground is always a much better choice than a private car or a taxi. If you must drive a car, it is never good to travel aloneyou should try to find other people to travel with you.At home, you should use as little energy as possible. Turn off the lights and anything else electrical when not in use. Since factories use a lot of energy and also let off carbon gases, it is important to recycle as much as possible. In particular, metal products and paper products require a lot of energy to produce, so you should find ways to use these again without throwing them away.Last but not least, you can plant a tree, because trees absorb the carbon dioxide in the air to produce oxygen. Planting a small tree is cheap and easy, and two decades from now, when you look at what will have bee a large tree, you will find a sense of satisfaction knowing that you did your part to help solve the problem of climate change.56.Answer the following questions:A.Is a private car much better than public tran
