考题 Passage FiveThe Northern Pike is a very bad fish. It is a big, hungry fish, and swallows little fish such as trout and perch. Many Northern Pikes live in Lake Davis. They are killing all the smaller fish in the lake. The Northern Pike are a serious threat to the lake because they eat all the smaller fish. Soon, all other species of fish in the lake will be killed off. This is not healthy for the environment.Experts are afraid that the Northern Pike will swim out of Lake Davis through many smaller rivers that feed into the lake. They could spread all over the country and damage many other water environments. If that happens, it would be too late to stop the Northern Pike.For ten years, officials have been trying to remove the Northern Pike from Lake Davis. They haw. tried using nets, explosives and poisons. However, the Northern Pike population is still doing well in Lake Davis. Many people do not like the idea of using poison to kill the fish. They worry that the poi- sons are bad for humans who use the water. No trace of the poisons has ever been found in local wells, however.Scientists are going to try the poison again. This time, they will drain the lake before they add the poison to the water. A public hearing will be held to talk about the problem.52. Why are some people against the use of poisons to kill Northern Pike?A. Fishermen will be poisoned too.B. The poisons are expensive.C. They think that wells will be polluted.D. The lake will become unsafe.

考题 Today a neighbor brought us some fresh fish he had caught on his last boat trip. As thanked him，he said,‘They are not from me; they only come through me.’At that moment I noticed the similarity between fish and haiku.Nowadays, if Mom doesn't ever serve fish for dinner at least the kids get a taste ofhaiku at school.For most of us，our first introduction comes from reading translations from Japanese,which is a bit like comparing sushi to frozen fish sticks. Even with the knowledge of theexotic, most poets stick to the meat and potatoes of English literature. It often isn’t until we get older that we accept the simple goodness of fish，adding them to the menu more often.Having acquired a taste for fish and learned how to cook them, one is better able toappreciate the short form. of haiku. Like fishing, haiku writing can be done with minimalequipment. A pin or a pen，and a scrap of paper, is enough，but it is tempting to go all out and buy a rod and reel (even study Zen，visit a monastery or take a trip to Japan).If one goes in for deep sea fishing,a computer and laser printer are soon on the list of 'must haves'.Like fishing, to catch haiku you have to go where they are. Unlike fish, haiku areeverywhere. Still，you have to know the secret places where they hide and how to get there.Wearing old comfortable clothes(usually thought of as a meditative state) we look aroundjust where we are. It does little good to only read of fishing off the coast of Japan whensitting beside the lake by our own front door. It does help to know which fish are edible and which are not. There are two ways of finding this out. We can either eat everything we catch and publish what feels right, or we can read books containing others’experiences while making up our minds about what kind of fish to go for.If we compare spending days on rough seas to fish or strolling on the beach writinghaiku; it is very easy for me to decide where my interest lies. Still I do love a fish dinner and I hope my neighbor enjoys my latest poems.(1). The similarity between fishing and writing haiku the text does NOT mention isA. the freedom to choose what we do with the product of each activityB. the delayed appreciation of both activitiesC. the thrill experienced when engaging in themD. the limited resources required for practising them(2). In paragraph 2，the author refers to sushi_.A. to point out that the American eat frozen fish sticks more oftenB. to contrast it with meat and potatoesC. to give an example of an exotic dishD. as a metaphor for original Japanese texts(3). According to the author, haiku writers have to_·A. read about the process of haiku writingB. be observant of what is around themC. try to have their poems publishedD. get acquainted with Zen philosophy(4). The best title of this text would be_·A. Something fishy about haikuB. The forgotten skill of fishingC. Writing haiku is easyD. The art of writing haiku(5). The author's attitude towards haiku is_.A. positiveB. neutralC. indifferentD. negative

考题共用题干 Lakes,Too,Feel Global WarmingThere's no doubt:In the last few decades,the average temperature on Earth has been higher than it has been in hundreds of years.Around the world,people are starting to measure the effects of global warming一 and trying to figure out what to do about it.Scientists recently used satellites to study the temperatures of lakes around the world,and they found that lakes are heating up.Between 1985 and 2009,satellites recorded the nighttime temperatures of the sur- faces of 167 lakes.During those 24 years,the lakes got warmer by an average of about 0.045 degreeCelsius per year.In some places,lakes have been warming by as much as 0.10 degree Celsius per year. At that rate,a lake may warm by a full degree Celsius in just 10 years.That difference may seem small一you might not even notice it in your bath.But in a lake,slightly warmer temperatures could mean more algae（水藻）,and algae can make the lake poisonous to fish.The study shows that in some regions,lakes are warming faster than the air around them.This is impor- tant because scientists often use measurements of air temperature to study how Earth is warming. By using lake temperatures as well,scientists can get a better picture of global warming. The scientists say data on lakes give scientists a new way to measure the impact of climate change around the world.That's going to be useful,since no country is too big or too small to ignore climate change.Scientists aren't the only ones concerned.Everyone who lives on Earth is going to be affected by the rapid warming of the planet. Many world leaders believe we might be able to do something about it,especially by reducing theamount of greenhouse（温室）gases we put into the air.That's why the United Nations started the Framework Convention on Climate Change,or UNFCCC. Every year the convention meets,and representatives from countries around the world gather to talk about climate change and discuss global solutions to the challenges of a warming world.A slight temperature increase in a lake could be harmful to fish.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

考题 Text 3 It is a good time to be a fisherman.The global fish-price index of the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization（FAO）hit a record high in May.Changing consumer diets,particularly in China,explain much of the sustained upward movement.High oil prices,which increase the cost of fishing and transportation,also add to the price of putting fish on Lhe table.Not all fish are creaLed equal,however.There are two types of fish production:"capture"（or wild）and"aquaculture"（or farmed）.And they seem to be on different tracks.Fish such as tuna,the majority of which is cau~;ht wild,saw much bigger price increases than salmon,which is easier to farm.Overall,the FAO's price index for wild fish nearly doubled between 1990 and 2012,whereas the one for farmed fish rose by only a fifth.What explains this big difference?The amount of wild fish captured globally has barely changed in the past two decades.The ceiling,of about 90m tonnes a year,seems to have been reached at the end of the 1980s.Overfishing is one reason,as is the limited room for produclivity growth,particularly if consumers want high quality.Patrice Guillotreau of the University of Nantes tells the story of a fleet in France that decided to trawl,rather than line-catch,its tuna.It braughi more back to shore,but the fish were damaged.It could not be sold as high-value fillets and was only good for canning.The old ways of catching fish are still best if you want the highest profits,says Mr CuiUotreau.In contrast,the farmed-fish industry continues to make productivity improvements.Fish farms have found crafty ways to use lower quantities of fish meal as feed.In the early days of aquaculture,it could take up to ten pounds of wild fish to produce one pound of salmon.Now the number is down to five.That may still be an inefficient use of protein,but the ratio is set to improve further.Fish farms have also become more energy-efficient,meaning that they are less affected by higher energy pnces.And they have learned how to handle diseases beUer,reducing the quanlity of fish that ends up being unsellable.As a resuli of all these improvements,the global production of farmed fish,measured in tonnes,now exceeds the producUon of beef.Output is likely to continue growing:the FAO estimates thal by 2020 it will reach six times its I990 level. Tuna and salmon are mentioned to show that______A.salmon is not as expensive as tuna B.tuna is more popular among consumers C.wild fish is more precious than farmed fish D.the prices of fish are in fact decided by FAO
