Its capital city is Boston, with a population of just over half a million, which is the biggest city in New England. Greater Boston is made up of 78 cities and towns. It has a population of nearly 3 million, which is half the population of Massachusetts. Boston was founded in 1630. The American Revolution began here when the people of Boston took up their arms to fight their English rulers. The Boston tea is famous in America. Americans were very fond of tea, and much tea was brought to the port港口 of Boston. The British government was looking for more ways to get money out of America. So it put a big tax on tea. That made the Bostonians angry. They rushed to the port and then onto a ship there. They threw all the tea into the sea. This led to a war between the people of Boston and the British solders. Thus the American Revolution began. 51. What do you think Greater Boston is? _. A. Another name for Boston City B. Another city in Massachusetts C. An area in Massachusetts where Boston is D.

We need a cottage on a busy street. And I would also like to know about the shops there. Do the shops still supply? I know they did ten years ago. I would also be thankful if you would tell me whether you supply sheets, etc. and whether a laundry洗衣店 calls at the house. The rent租金 you ask sounds reasonable for the size of the cottage.

C10分 Fish hear sounds, though they have simply no ears outside their bodies. However, fish do have ears inside their bodies, near the brain, and they hear very well with them. Some fish have been taught to recognize the difference between sounds better than some human beings do. Many underwater animals make noises only by chance while they are doing something else. Other sounds are real communications交际of a simple sort, telling one fish of the presence and direction of another. A few noises may be warning messages or discovery of food,etc. The earliest scientific report on fish sounds referred to one of these. A new field in science is learning to recognize and use underwater sounds. It relies on依赖the same skill that man has shown in recognizing birds and other land creatures by their calls. But this method方法 is a greater challenge挑战 than bird- watching, for many of the animals of the sea cannot be followed in any other known way. Their voices cry for attention. Yet we still have too little knowledge about many of the call makers. Perhaps the meaning of the calls and what the call makers are will some day be made known more fully. It is as though the great oceans were for daring man to invade涌入them and the secrets of the place from which his forefathers came so long ago. 61. After reading the passage, we can conclude that_. A. many fish often make meaningless noises B. sound cannot pass through some fish bodies C. sound waves can easily be felt by fish bodies D. some fish can easily understand some land creatures calls 62.

One of the earliest scientic reports on fish sounds was about_. A. noises made occasionally by underwater animals B. some sort of communications between fish C. the difference between sounds D. what sort of fish the call maker was 65. From the last sentence, we can learned that _. A. the human beings have invaded the oceans for long B. more secrets of the great oceans are to be found out C. only very brave people can make use of the great ocean D. people are fighting each other to become the masters of the great oceans D 10分 Sir Athur Eddington, a British astronomer, was once asked; Is it true, Professor Eddington, that you are one of the three people in the world who understand Einsteins Theory of Relativity? The astronomer appeared reluctant勉强 to answer. Forgive me, said his questioner, I should have realized a man of your modesty would find such a question embarrassing令人为难的.
