Dekalb Walcott III: A Second-generation FirefighterD. Dekalb Walcott Jr.: A Chicago Fire ChiefBThe gentle giant of our oceans are whale sharks. Its the biggest whale shark and can reach as long as 41.5 feet, and these amazing creatures are not only the biggest shark, but they are also biggest fish of any kind.Whale sharks have a lifespan of 70 years on average, and they spend their days gently swimming in the warm and tropical oceans.Their teeth are the size of match heads, and while their jaws could be powerful, they have never tended to attack humans. Their teeth play no role in eating, as plankton (浮游生物) does not need to be chewed. They are to be found in numbers in the warmer oceans and they prefer the deep waters of the open oceans. They tend to travel alone. Several times a year they gather together in certain spots where plankton is plentiful. Those areas are all within a 30onorth or south latitude from the equator. And sadly whale sharks are targeted by commercial fisheries at those spots.How easy it must be for those fishermen to catch those beautiful creatures who can only swim at 3.5 miles per hour! So great a loss in numbers have they suffered, that whale sharks are now listed as one of the endangered species. Some countries have started to take measures to protect the whale sharks from extinction. The Philippines, India and Taiwan have all banned the fishing, selling, importing and exporting of whale sharks for commercial purpose. However, the law does not seem to be effective because the hunting and killing still goes on today, especially in Taiwan and the Philippines. Each whale shark can fetch around $21,000. In parts of Asia they are known as the “money shark”. The mighty dollar, wins again, at great cost to our habitat, and we will not know what we have lost until we have lost it forever. Therefore, it is high time for us to do something for the whale sharks. 41. We can learn from the passage that whale sharks _. A. usually live a life of more than 70 years B. always travel in the ocean in groups C. depend on their teeth to harvest their food D. live in the deep waters of the warmer oceans42. Why can the whale sharks be caught easily? A. Because they swim in the oceans at a slow speed. B. Because they are surrounded by so many fishermen. C. Because they often gather together in great numbers. D. Because they never tend to attack humans in the water.43. We know that in Taiwan and the Philippines, _. A. fishermen are earning little by catching the whale sharks B. fishermen have stopped hunting and killing the whale sharks C. fishermen are continuing to hunt and kill the whale sharks D. importing and exporting whale sharks is allowed 44. It is implied in the passage that _. A. whale sharks will be extinct even if they are protected B. whale sharks are the most dangerous marine animals C. there is no law about banning the fishing of whale sharks D. the huge profit is to blame for the decreasing numbers of whale sharks45. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To call on people to protect whale sharks. B. To guide people how to fish and kill whale sharks. C. To advise the government to make related laws. D. To analyze the value of whale sharks.CIncitieswith rent control, thecitygovernment sets the maximum rent that a landlord (房东) can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent controlmayhave negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in thecity.Some experts argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employersmayhire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves withoutjobsinstead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of thelaw, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to acceptjobsat unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decision, such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be corrected only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economistssupporta particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.46. There is the possibility that setting maximum rentmay _.Acause a shortage of apartmentsBworry those who rent apartments as homes.Cincrease the profits of landlords.Dencourage landlords to invest in building apartments.47. We can safely say that rent control _.Awill always benefit those who rent apartments.Bis unnecessary.Cwill probably bring inactive effects in the long run.Dis necessary under all conditions48. There will be the problem of unemployment if _.Athe minimum wage is set too high.Bthe minimum wage is set too early.Cthe workers are unskilled.Dthe maximum wage is set for poor workers.49. The passage tells us about _.Athe relationship between supply and demand.Bthe possible results of government controls.Cthe necessity of government control.Dthe urgency of getting rid of government control.50. Which of the following statements is NOT true?AThe results of economic decisions cannot always be predicted.BMinimum wage cannot always protect employees.CEconomic theory can help predict the results of economic decision if other factors are not changing.DEconomists usually have the same prediction about an economic decision.DA euphemism (from the Greek words euwell and phemespeak) is a word or expression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking about difficult or embarrassing topics like death or the bodily functions. Most people，for example，would find it very difficult to say in plain language that they have arranged for their sick old dog to be killed. They would soften the pain by saying：We had Ruby put down or we had Ruby put to sleep. Many people prefer to call someone plain than ugly，or cuddly rather than fat.Euphemisms are an important part of every language，but it seems that English has an ever-growing number of them. The nonnative speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears，he also has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particular situation. He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom，or comfort station) is，but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog. He might have learned，for example，that in the family way is a euphemism for pregnant. If，however，he says to his boss，“Congratulations！I hear your wife is in the family way，” he would be using an expression that is too familiar for the circumstances.Schools are full of euphemisms. At Frankfurt International School，for example，the special lessons given to students who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Center (in the middle school) and Academic Workshop (in the high school)Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straightforward，and usually choose a softer word or expression to convey the same message.51According to the passage，people use euphemisms in order to_.Amake themselves understood Bavoid embarrassmentCto sound straightforward Dattract attention52A person who is described as plain and cuddly is in fact_.Atall and handsome Bpretty and slim Cugly but tall Dugly and fat53When an English lady says she has to see a man about a dog，she might want to_.Ahave her old dog killedBsee an ugly friend Cgo to the toilet Dsee a pregnant woman54The main purpose of Paragraph 2 is to_.Astress that euphemisms are an important part of every languageBinform readers that English has an ever-growing number of euphemismsCsuggest nonnative speakers use euphemisms as often as possibleDwarn English learners to be careful about the meaning and use of euphemisms55At Frankfurt International School，the students who receive lessons in Study Center_.Ahave poor grades in the subjects Bdo well in schoolCwork hard at their lessons Dprefer to learn more第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（选E时，同时涂AB; 选F时，同时涂CD）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答案填涂在答题卡标号为5660的相应位置上. 在中学生夏令营中，以下同学以其观点组织各自的讨论和交流组。ACao Amin, 18Xuanhua No 1 High School, HebeiKeeping pace with teachers is a good way to studyTeachers are experienced and their plans are systematicBut remember to work in a way that suits youIts also important to learn from past mistakesKeep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make - itll help you avoid making the same ones laterBZhang Zilu, 17Xinyu No 1 High School, JiangxiThis time of life may be hard, but youre not aloneYou may be busy studying, but you can show your care by calling yow friends or sending a short messageDont let your friendships dieSome boys and girls in my class were in love, but Id advise against a relationship at this stageC.
