D

Sharks have gained unfair reputation for being large fierce sea animals. Human beings’s unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures are leading to a worldwide slaughter （大屠殺）, which may result in the extinction （絕種） of many larger, coastal shark species. The shark is the victim of a warped （有偏見(jiàn)的） attitude of wildlife protection; we fight only to protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our environment. And, in our efforts to bring back only non-threat parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts.

A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude towards another large sea animal, the dolphin. During the 1980s, environmentalists in the Linked States objected to the practice of hunting tuna （金槍魚(yú)） in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins. The environmentalists place enough political and economic pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had been caught in drift nets. In contrast to this effort, the populations of sharks in the Pacific Ocean have decreased to the point of extinction and there has been very little effort by the same environmentalism to save this important species of wildlife in water.  Sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth, having survived in the seas for more than 350 million years. They are feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus performing an important role in nature of knocking out the weaker animals in a species. Just the fact that species such as the Great White Shark have managed to live in the oceans for so many millions of years is enough proof of their efficiency and adaptability to changing environment. It is time for humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate they are damaging the planet, to cast away their fears and begin considering the protection of sharks as creatures that may provide us with an understanding of our own survival.

68. How did the environmentalists manage to protect dolphins?

       A. They prevented the fishermen from selling them at markets.

       B. They only permitted the fishermen to catch them using nets.

       C. They created some shelters where dolphins could be protected.

       D. They used political and economic means to achieve their aim.

69. The underlined word "unfounded’ in Paragraph 1 probably means __    __.

       A. not found in life                          B. not possessed in mind

       C. not based on fact                       D. not likely to be started

70. Which of the following best describes the organization of this text?

       A. Cause and effect.                            B. Time and space order.

       C. Specific to general.                           D. Statement and example.

71. The text mainly tells us ___    _.

       A. sharks have a bad reputation                   B. what are the oldest creatures

       C. sharks need human protection                  D. humans prefer tuna to sharks

原創(chuàng)（十）【原創(chuàng)精品】

During the years of depression(蕭條), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.

One day I was   36   some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily   37   a full basket of   38    green peas. Then I was  39   to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas   for just a marble (彈球).

Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby,    40   and told me that Mr Miller loved to trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things  41   he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself,   42   by this man.

   Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬禮),  43   three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on,   44   their eyes.

Our 45   came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned 46   she had told me about the 47 . She told me,“Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me   48  they appreciated the things Jim‘traded’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”

 “We’ve 49   had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she added, “but right now, Jim would consider himself to be the  50   man.”

Then she gently lifted the   51   fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.

At that time I realized that we would not be  52    by our words, but by our kind  53  . It is said that it takes a minute to find a    54   person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to  55   him.

（建安十三年）荊州牧劉表死，魯肅乞奉命吊表二子，且以觀變。肅未到，而曹公已臨其境，表子琮舉眾以降。劉備欲南濟(jì)江，肅與相見(jiàn)，因傳權(quán)旨，為陳成敗。備進(jìn)住夏口，使諸葛亮詣權(quán)，權(quán)遣周瑜、程普等行。是時(shí)曹公新得表眾，形勢(shì)甚盛。諸議者皆望風(fēng)畏懼，多勸權(quán)迎之。惟瑜、肅執(zhí)拒之議，意與權(quán)同。瑜、普為左右督，各領(lǐng)萬(wàn)人，與備俱進(jìn)，遇于赤壁，大破曹公軍。公燒其余船引退，士卒饑疫，死者大半。備、瑜等復(fù)追至南郡。

十六年，權(quán)徙治秣陵。明年，城石頭，改秣陵為建業(yè)。聞曹公將來(lái)侵，作濡須塢②。十八年正月，曹公攻濡須，權(quán)與相拒月余。曹公望權(quán)軍，嘆其齊肅，乃退。（《三國(guó)志??吳主傳》）

注：①周公立法而伯禽不師：周公制定的禮法制度，他的兒子、受封于魯國(guó)的伯禽卻沒(méi)有遵守。按照古人的解釋?zhuān)�伯禽在服喪期間，徐戎（周代居住在今徐州一代的少數(shù)民族）作亂，伯禽就停止服喪而率兵討伐，平定了徐戎。      ②濡須塢：修建在濡須口的堡塢，夾濡須水而筑。

B．荊州牧劉表死后，其子劉琮投降曹操。此時(shí)的東吳內(nèi)部分為主戰(zhàn)、主和兩派，孫權(quán)不顧主降派張昭等反對(duì)，聯(lián)合劉備與曹操?zèng)Q戰(zhàn)，取得赤壁之戰(zhàn)的勝利。

C．孫權(quán)到秣陵（建業(yè)）后，曹操來(lái)犯，孫權(quán)與曹操大戰(zhàn)于濡須塢，雙方均不能獲勝。看到孫權(quán)陣容齊整，曹操只好撤兵。

D．孫權(quán)作為一代英主，面對(duì)曹操的入侵，敢于抗擊；經(jīng)過(guò)赤壁之戰(zhàn)，大敗曹操，后又在濡須之戰(zhàn)中取得勝利。
