The ships owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could work out how to fix the engine.Then they bought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young man.He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, from top to bottom.Two of the ships owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do.After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer.

The engine was fixed!A week later, the owner received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.“What?!” the owners shouted. “He hardly did anything!” So they wrote the old man a note saying, “Please send us an itemized (明细的) bill.”The man sent a bill that read:Tapping with a hammer $2.00Knowing where to tap $9,998.00Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference!56.

They all can be classified into two types:eared seals and true seals. Eared seals have ears that can be seen, and their flippers(鳍状肢) work well on land. True seals have tiny ears, and their flippers work better in the water. Seals spend much of their time in water. But, they must return to the surface to breathe, just like other mammals(哺乳动物). A seals respiratory system(呼吸系统) is adapted for water. A seal can go for 40 minutes without a breath. This allows them to dive to a depth of over 2,000 feet. Seals are well designed to swim in water. Their bodies are very streamlined and their flippers propel(推进) them quickly through the water. Seals also spend considerable time lying around on rocky islands and beaches. But they are clumsy(笨拙的) and move slowly on land using their flippers. Baby seals are born on land after a long, 12 month gestation(怀孕) period. The pups develop rapidly. Some are able to swim within a few hours of birth. Walruses(海象) differ from seals in that they are larger and have large tusks. They can be over 10 feet long and over 3000 pounds.64. Compared with eared seals, true seals _A. have no ears B. cant work on the landC. have no flippers D. have ears that can hardly be seen65. What makes a seal be able to dive to a depth of over 2,000 feet?A. It spends much of their time in water.B. It must return to the surface to breathe.C. It can go for 40 minutes without a breath.D. It is well designed to swim in water.66. Which of the following statement is true?A.Seals looks like a stream. B. Seals are good swimmers.C. Seals move slowly an land because they dont have feet.D. Baby seals grow up on land.67. Seals differ from walruses mostly in _.A.looks B. length C. weight D. namesDThe UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals. Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles (海龟) cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm. Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough, said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth.Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says. It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer. With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes.Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include: the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters. The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. We need governments to start taking action at the national and international lever. “The clock is running.” said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.68. What is the main topic of the text?A. How animals are adapting to changes in temperature.B. The effect of climate change on migrating animals.C. The actions required to save migrating animals.D. The need for government policies to prevent global warming.69. By saying the clock is running in the last paragraph, Dr Hepworth means that “_”.A. it may be too late to save some animalsB. it is time to start protecting the animalsC. there is not much time to solve the problemD. it takes time to complete the actions70. Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?A. More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds.B. 20 percent of all birds are likely to die out because of land loss.C. Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins.D. Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly.71. What can be inferred about turtles from the text?A. They are the only animals besides humans that suffer from cancer.B. They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean-based animals.C. Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years.D. Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female.ELay low on debtIf you plan to“fly now and pay later,”make sure that you have enough money to make up for months youll spend paying, paying and paying.
