Emma Bell B Last week some friends and I took a trip to the aquarium. We saw many fascinating forms of sealife. For example, we saw a model of the great blue whale, and in the big tanks we saw dolphins and sharks. For me, one of the most interesting fish was one of the smallest, the seahorse. In fact, I used to think that seahorse was a kind of horse, a mammal. It looks just like a tiny horse without legs. But it is a fish. Seahorses are very small, between 2 and 8 inches in length, and they like to live in warm waters.Another unusual feature of the seahorse is that the male fish gives birth to the babies. At least that is what people used to think. Now, however, scientists have learned more about the seahorse, and they know that this is not really true. The mother seahorse lays her eggs in a little pouch or inside the males body near the stomach. Then the pouch closes. The baby seahorses come out of the eggs and develop inside the fathers body for about ten days. Then they come out. They become adults in about three months.Today, the seahorse is an animal in danger. For centuries, people in different parts of the world have used the seahorse to make medicine. Other people have taken them to make decorations. Seahorse also dies because of the ocean pollution. Now people are working to save the seahorse. I hope they will save it because it is beautiful and unusual animal. 51. The author used to think that seahorse _ . A. was a tiny horse B. was an interesting fish C. was very small D. lived in warm waters52. When the baby seahorses come out of the eggs, they will live _ for a few days. A. in a little pouch B. near the fathers stomach C. inside the mothers body D. inside the fathers body53. People should _ according to the passage.A. use the seahorse to make medicine B. take care of the seahorse carefullyC. take the seahorse to make decorations D. Protect the ocean from being pollutedCAre you aged between 14 and 19 years old? Do you care about your local environment?

Were looking for young people to take part in schemes and projects near to where they live.Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.Meeting the neighboursEverybody needs good neighbours.

If you go away on holiday and leave your house, its very nice to know that a neighbour is keeping an eye on it. Its a good way to make the area you live in safer. You could set one up easily and quickly.Lending a handThere are often elderly people living in the neighbourhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their garden for them or maybe walk their dog!No litteringNobody likes picking up other peoples rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Take it in turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find something valuable.RecyclingNearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled. Some areas already provide places for people to recycle bottles, tins, plastic and paper. Find out if this is done in your neighborhood. If its not, do something about it.So, go on Help make your neighborhood streets ahead. Just tell us what kind of project you want to become involved in. Then well send you more details. Take positive action and help make your neighborhood a better place to live in! 54. The underlined word “distribute” means _. A. give out B. get away C. check out D. pay back55. From the passage we can know _.A. all the teenagers in the neighbourhood are needed to join the projectB. we need to watch our neighbour carefully to make our houses safeC. we can discuss plans with our neighbours to make our area betterD. we should shake our hands with old people in the neighbourhood56. The author advised the teenagers to take part in the project in order to _.A. make the area they live in safer and more friendlyB. improve the environment of the local communityC. help the old people and teenagers in the communityD. help to pick the rubbish in the street and recycle itDRiding in school buses in the early morning, then sitting in poorly lit classrooms, are the main reasons students have trouble getting to sleep at night, according to new research.Teenagers, like everyone else, need bright light in the morning to allow their circadian rhythms (生理节奏) to get into step with natures cycles of day and night. If they dont get blue light in the morning, they get to sleep an average of six minutes later at night, until their bodies are completely out of sync (同步) with the school day, researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York said last month. The finding was made by fitting goggles that block blue light from the sun to a group and of students. The researchers discovered that their circadian rhythms were greatly affected.Parents and teachers have been complaining in recent years that teens stay up too late at night, then fall asleep in class the next morning and do poorly in school. The new findings provide a possible explanation for the problem.At the root of the research is the circadian rhythm, the bodys natural sleep waking cycle. Even though the Earth makes a full rotation (旋转) in 24 hours, the bodys circadian cycle is about 24 hours and six minutes long. The cycle is mediated (调节) by a chemical called melatonin (褪黑激素). The body starts to produce it about two hours before it is time to sleep and, in the absence of blue light, the body produces about six minutes later each day. In the study, the researchers studied 11 students at Smith Middle School in New York, which was designed so that a lot of sunlight reaches classrooms. On a Friday night, the researchers measured what time the 11 students bodies began releasing melatonin. On Monday morning, the students were sent to school with orange goggles that blocked most blue light from their eyes to mimic (模拟) the conditions found in many if not most schools. By the end of the week, the students were releasing melatonin 30 minutes later in the evening an average of six minutes a day and going to sleep later.“This is our first field study,” said lead author Mariana G. Figueiro. He said they would like to repeat it in larger studies and for longer periods of time. If the findings are repeated, a variety of solutions are available. Ideally, new schools would be built to allow more natural sunlight into the classrooms. Students could also be exposed to more sunlight outside.57. According to the findings related in this article, many teenagers stay up late because _.A. they lack melatonin in their bodies B. they have a lot of homework to do C. they get up so early to catch the busD. their circadian rhythms are in disorder58. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. If we repeat the findings, many sollutions to the problems will be used.B. If the findings appear again, different solutions could be found easily.C. If the findings proved to be correct, all kind of solutions could be found.D. If we repeat the studies, we can find many ways to solve the problems.59. What can we infer from the passage that _.A. few schools have small windows and the classrooms are poorly lit.B. the sunlight is the only thing that can affect our circadian rhythms.C. the fitting goggles can help the teenagers to solve the sleeping problems D. students who get more blue light are less likely to have sleeping problems60. The passage is mainly about _. A. the causes of teenagers disordered circadian rhythms. B. the new research on the teenagers sleeping problems. C. the ways of improving the condition of the classrooms. D. the study on helping the teenagers not fall asleep in class.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）Tom was a clever boy, but his parents were poor. 61 , In spite of this, he managed to go to the college but it was so expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to make enough money to pay for his studies.One summer he managed to get a job in a butchers shop during the day-time, and another in a hospital at night. 62 , so the butcher often left him to do all the serving while he went to the back room to do the accounts. 63 , like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another.
