a. they are small soft rings. b. they are openings only on food fish. c.they are not seen from the outside. d. they are not used to receive sound. 17. why does the writer compare the fish to trees? a. trees gain a growth ring each day. b. trees also have otoliths. c. their growth rings are very small. d. they both have growth rings. 18. the atlantic croaker is _. a. a fish research b. a fishing company c. an ocean area d. a fish 19. why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings? a. the elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.b. chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim. c. we can know more about fish and their living environment. d. scientists can know exactly how old a fish is. 20. how would you understand “fish scientists are now lending thorrold their ears”? a. they are very interested in thorrolds research findings. b. they want to know where they can find fish. c. they lend their fish for chemical studies. d. they wonder if thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.(b)computer programmer david jones earned $ 150,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card . instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.he works for a small firm in liverpool, where most young people of his age are finding jobs. davids biggest headache is what to do with his money. though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get credit cards. david got his job four months ago, a year after leaving school with six o-levels(普通成绩) and working for a time in a computer shop. “i got the job because the people who run the firm knew i had already written some programs,” he said.“i suppose $150,000 sounds a lot but i hope it will come to more than that this year.” he spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother $20 a week as he lives with his parents. but most of his spare time is spent working.“unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “ but i had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. i knew what i wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. i would like to earn a million and i suppose early retirement is a possibility. you never know when the market might disappear.21. why is david so different from other young people of his age?a .he has got a job.b. he lives at home with his parentsc .he does not get out much.d. he earns a high payment22. davids greatest problem is that _.a. he cant be treated as an adult (grown-up) by the bank b. he cant make as many games as he wishesc .he doesnt know what to buy with the moneyd. he is too young to drive a car23. he was employed by the company because _a .he had worked in a computer shopb. he had written some computer programsc. he is clever and works hard at his lessonsd. he had learnt computer from books and magazines24. he left school after taking six o-levels because _.a. he was afraid of getting too old to start computingb. he didnt enjoy schoolc. he wanted to work with computersd. he wanted to earn a lot of money. 25. why does david think he might retire early?a. he thinks computer games might not always sell so well.b. he wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.c. one has to be young to write computer programsd. he thinks his firm might close down. iii. 阅读信息题：根据短文内容，找出相关信息，完成表格 （5小题，每小题1分，共5分） scientists said that in the past 100 years, as the global temperatures went up by 0.74, the temperature in north china had climbed 1.4 in only 50 years. china needs to to cut carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) emission (排放), because its the main reason for global warming.the good news is that china has seen the importance of going green. can you slow down global warming?
