Or is it? Carcharodon Megalodon, commonly known as Megalodon is believed to have lived between 1 million and 5 million years ago and thought to have been 52 feet long. It is (or was) a shark that had a jaw 7 or more feet wide. Fairly recently, there has been some speculation about whether it is extinct or just out of reach. Some people believe that Megalodon has found a home deep in the ocean. There are many known “Living Fossils”:Coelacanth, Sea Cucumbers, Sea Urchins, Lobsters, Sea Stars. The common ones like lobsters and sea Cucumbers of years or more, and are easily accessible to us. What if they werent accessible and yet still excited? We would label them extinct. The discovery of a live Coelacanth, a fish long believed extinct, challenged some scientists long-held beliefs on extinction. There have been recent discoveries of incredibly large squid, and deep-sea fish never before seen by scientists.In the 1960s the US Navy set up underwater microphones around the world to track Soviet submarines. The net work, known as the Sound Surveillance System, still lie deep below the oceans surface in a larger of water known as the “deep sound channel”. The temperature and pressure of the channel allow sound waves to travel undisturbed. NOAAs Acoustic Monitoring Project has been using the Sound Surveillance System to listen for changes in ocean structure like ocean currents or volcanic activity. Most of the sounds recorded are common and of no concern. One sound, identified in 1977 by US Navy “spy” sensors, was odd. It was obviously a marine animal but the call was more powerful than any of the calls made by any other reported sea creature. It was too big for a whale. Could it be a deep-sea monster? One possibility was a giant squid, but no one is sure. It was named “Bloop”. Could it be Megalodon?If Megalodan is still alive down in the bottom on the ocean, we may some day soon discover it. Then what? Deep sea diving will never be the same, thats for sure?41. The following is commonly known EXEPT _.A. Megalodon, the largest shark, is extinctB. Megalodon is not extinct but just out of reach.C. Megalodon was 52 feet long and had a jaw 7 or more feet wide.D. Megalodon lived between several million years ago.42. What makes the scientist doubt about the belief that Carcharodon Megalodon is extinct?A. The discovery of many “Living Fossils.”B. The discovery of the fossils of lobstersC. The discovery of live CoelacanthD. The discovery of the fossils of sea urchins.43. Why did the US Navy set up underwater microphones around the world in the 1960s?A. To listen for changes in ocean structureB. To listen for changes of ocean currents or volcanic activity.C. To make sure whether there was a giant squid deep in the ocean.D. To follow the track of the Soviet Warships under water.44. What was special in their recorded sounds?A. A strange, powerful animals sound was heard. B. A big whales sound was heardC. A sea monsters sound was heard D. A giant squids sound was heard.45. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Scientists discoveries always change peoples beliefB. There are too many secrets to be discoveredC. Megalodon may be still alive deep in the ocean.D. “Deep sound channel” allows sound waves to travel undisturbed .BAcross the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation. (卫生设备)The combination proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty.Consider these facts:The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water., and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases.Here are three ways you can help:Write CongressCurrent U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.Sponsor a project with a faith-based organizationMany U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad. Simply put a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.Support nonprofit water organizationsNumerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related to drinking water and sanitation. Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows: some organizations are large, other small-scale, some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Support them generously.46. The three facts presented in the passage are used to illustrate that_.A. poverty can result in water-borne diseasesB. people have no access to clean drinking waterC. womens rights are denied in some developing countriesD. safe drinking water should be a primary concern47. The intended readers of the passage are_.A. Americans B. overseas sponsors C. Congressmen D. U.S.-based water organizations48. The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to _.A. get rid of water-related diseases in developing countriesB. donate money to people short of water through religious groupsC. fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problemD. take joint action in support of some nonprofit water organizations49. What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A. A variety of companies and their worldwide operation.B. A list of nonprofit water organizations to make contact with.C. Some ways to get financial aids from U.S. Congress.D. A few water resources exploited by some world-famous organizations.CThe scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow, when global warming could soon turn the global climate (气候) into a new ice age, may never occur, according to new research.The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 7.40,000 years of climate data (数据) obtained from the Antarctic ice.Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000-meter.depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to 40, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer(层) have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past.The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740, 000 years and eight warmer periods. And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15, 000 years.Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years.If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise, our data say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads,” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future.Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today, said Dr Wolff.50. In drilling through the ice in Antarctica, scientists have found that_.A. the lowest temperature there is 40B. the depth of ice is 3,000 metersC. the ice has existed for 15,000 yearsD. snowfalls are kept in certain patterns51. The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through_.A. separating carbon dioxide from the airB. examining the growth rings of treesC. comparing temperatures in different areasD. studying the ice and air caught in each layer52. We can infer from Eric Wolffs words that_.A. there is something wrong with the dataB. greenhouse effect is always a bad thingC. a new ice age will not come in the near futureD. greenhouse gas will get thick in the future53. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Research over the Antarctic area.B. Warm period to last about 15, 000 years.C. Report on the eight ice ages in the past.D. Hollywood movies and the global climate.DA study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant(显著的) problem.The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation(动机), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.54. What is the text mainly about?A. Foreign students have more problems.B. There are many ways to improve English.C. Teaching should meet students needs.D. English learning problems should be studied again.55. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students_.A. had to write their papers B. became better at speakingC. became less interested in reading D. had fewer problems with listening56. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that _.A. different teaching methods should be usedB. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouragingC. English courses are necessary for foreign studentsD. teaching content should be changed halfway.ECulture determines what kind of thinking is important and what kind is not so important. Learners use the language, tools and practice of their culture to learn concepts. Although students have their individual learning styles, their learning styles are often combined with cultural values. For example, Navajo children often learn first by observing and listening. Then , when ready, they continue learning on their own in groups and under the supervision(监
