They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.Ask anyone in business. They will tell you that it is a jungle out there. The expression probably began because a jungle is filled with wild animals and unknown dangers that threaten people.People in business have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments. Bogus means something that is not real.Nobody is sure how the word got started. But it began to appear in American newspapers in the 1800s. A newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts, said the word came from a criminal whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he did not have enough money in the bank. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing. The newspaper said Americans shortened and changed the criminals name Borghese to Bogus.People trying to earn money must be also aware of the risk of being ripped off. A writer for a magazine said he first saw the expression used in 1971. It was on a sign that a student carried during a protest demonstration at a university. The message on the sign was that the student felt cheated.To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. This expression means to get to the bottom or the most important part of something. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “it sounds good, but how much does it cost?”Word expert Charles Funk thinks the expression comes from sailors on ships. They clean the bottom of a boat. When they have removed all the dirt, they are down to the copper pieces that hold the ship together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can prevent rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money in that jungle out there. And, some good luck will help, too.51. Why do people say money talks?A. Because the rich tend to decide a thing. B. Because money can tell us something.C. Because it is hard to earn much money. D. Because everyone loves to have money.52. My uncle is in a jungle out there, which means .A. he will fight against wild animalsB. he is interested to go through a jungleC. he will face many difficulties soon D. he is a success in his own business53. When you ask how much it cost, it means .A. you declare you wont be cheated B. you get down to the real issuesC. you care nothing about the quality D. you are always caring about money54.

Weve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and wetry and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key thingsthat we measure is COx levels. And Weve been able to record this increasing quantity ofatmospheric CO, into the ocean. Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and一more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance ofthe sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid,carbonic acid, Dore explains. And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goesup and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it moreacidic.The seawater samples Dow and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts.The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore andhis colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked upCO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.Its important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can havenegative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. Its potentially catastrophic.35. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Sea Life Facing Danger B. Scientist Researching SeawaterC. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater36. With the increase of atmospheric C02，A. more corals will appear in the seaB. the surface water is becoming warmerC. the chemical balance of the seawater is affectedD. the pH of the ocean out here has been increasing37.

C02 levels in the atmosphere go upe. C02 decreases the pH and makes the seawater more acidic.A. abcde B. dbcea C. aebed D. edcba38. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based onA. his research and analysis B. the expectation of other scientistsC. some former theory D. a major cause of climate change【参考答案】35、A 3638、CBA【四川省凉山州2020第二次诊断性测试】C阅读下面五篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Rockwatch一The Best Club on EarthIf you are a young person and interested in geology(地质学），then Rockwatch is the club foryou.

You didnt even open the book the night before and you hear a voice in your head saying “Cheat, cheat .” So what are you going to do, ignore it and fail or go for it? Its a tough decision many students must make.Most young people believe that cheating is wrong. However, they have cheated at least once in their high school years. So, why do they do it? Are they too lazy to study? Perhaps, its not as simple as that. According to some experts, one main reason why students cheat is that they see their friends get away with it. Its an easy way out. They avoid embarrassment and their parents anger for not doing well in an exam. Another reason is that students think its OK to cheat if the subject isnt important for their future career. Whats more, most students have to put up with the pressure of getting into university. They need to get good marks to carry on with their studies. This means that there will always be students who will do anything for a better mark.It has never been easier to cheat than it is today. With all the technology available, students neednt cheat by looking over their shoulders anymore. They use mobile phones to send answers to each other dur
