18、n big fishing ships, fitted out with radar and modern equipment, have their share of bad days. Wouldnt it be nice if fish could be trained to come at the call of a whistle the way some days are trained? Well, the days of “fish whistle” may be just around the corner. Japanese companies are working on
19、 methods that will train fish to return to harvest areas at the sound of an underwater whistle. The method works like this: First, fish eggs are hatched in a laboratory. Whenever feeding time arrives, a whistle sounds. The young fish learn to return to their feeding areas at the sound of the whistle
20、. Later, the fish are set free at sea, near special-made under water “barns”. There, the whistle-plus-feeding program continues. Being well fed and sheltered, the fish continue to live around the barn. So when fishing time arrives, all the harvesters need to do is to sound the whistle, drop their ne
21、ts, and draw in a lot of fish. Many countries have closed their offshore fishing waters to ships from other countries. With fish whistle and barns, Japan hope to become less dependent on importing fish from other countries.36. The word “around the corner” in the second paragraph means_. A. a dead en
22、dB. impossibleC. very near D. not a through road37. Which of the following statements is true? A. For many years people depend on luck to catch fish. B. Fish can never be trained like a dog. C. Radar can always help catch more fish. D. Well-equipped fishing ships never have a bad day in catching fis
23、h.38. From the passage we learn that _. A. people are expecting the sea to offer more fish B. Japan hopes to supple more fish to other countries C. the harvesters can catch as many fish as possible now D. many countries have taken measures to protect their fishing waters from foreign ships39. On the
24、 whole, the passage is about _. A. a new fishing method B. an experiment with fish C. how to train fish D. how to feed fish BWhile traveling abroad, Mr. Jackson ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500. “Send me the money by telegram,” he wrote, “to the Fisher Bank in P”After
25、a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. “Nothing has come for you,” he was told. As this went on, Mr. Frank got more and more worried. In the fifth week Mr. Frank was taken away by the policemen for failing to pay for the bill. He tried to explain the problem to them, but no one believed him. He
26、 was sent to prison for sixty days.When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $ 500 for me?” he asked. “My name is Jackson Frank.”The clerk checked his books. “Yes, Jackson. Its here. It came by telegram- let me see- oh, three mo
27、nths ago. We wondered where you were.” He showed Mr. Frank the order.The order read: “Pay Mr. Jackson the sum of $ 500.” “But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson.”“Oh, thats all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter “J” but it is your money.”The clerk laughed. “It was a mistake, s
28、ir! We took your family name to be Jackson by mistake. Were all human beings, arent we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me. ”Mr. Frank was silent. He really wanted to hit somebody. At last he said, “We are all humans? But I think some humans need kicking.”40.
29、Mr. Jackson Frank was put into prison because _. A. he didnt use his really nameB. he stole somethingC. the police made a mistakeD. he couldnt pay his bill41. Mr. Jackson Frank didnt receive his money in time only because _.A. he had made a mistakeB. the clerk was a human beingC. he had changed his
30、family nameD. the clerk had made a mistake42. By saying “But I think some humans need kicking.” Mr. Jackson Frank probably means _.A. he wants to kill the clerkB. he wants to hit the clerkC. he wants to laugh at the clerkD. he wants to do the same to the clerk CProverbs (谚语) are quite common in spok
31、en English. We dont normally put them in a composition or a letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples.1)“Once bitten, twice shy.” If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many th
32、ings and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go the same shop again.2) “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. Thus this means that wha
33、t you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.3) “Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup)”. When too many people do something, they get in each others way and do a bad job.4) “To pour oil on troubled waters” is to try to calm things down. Oil is light
34、er than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.5) “Dont be a dog in a manger( 槽 )”means“ Dont be selfish.” In a stable ( 马房 ), the manger is t
35、he place where the horses food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does want to eat the lay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.6) “He is sitting on the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of
36、a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.7) “He who pays the piper calls the tune.” A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides
37、the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.8) “You cant get blood out of a stone” means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. e. g. you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man. 43. Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for
38、 him but he does not want to let his younger brother ride on it. His mother is angry and says to him: _. A. You cant get blood out of a stone B. Dont be a dog in a manger C. The early bird gets the worm D. To pour oil on troubled waters44. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had a quarrel. Their friend, Mr. Brown, w
39、ant to talk to them.

40、ool but they didnt argue with Mr. Wang because _. A. he was sitting on the fence B. once bitten, twice shyC. he who pays the piper calls the tune D. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush46. Mrs. Lin wanted to buy a new dress. Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home. M
41、rs. Lin disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop. So she said :“I wont go there again because _.”A. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bushB. I am sitting on the fenceC. once bitten, twice shyD. too many cooks spoil the broth47. Mr. Brown had quite a good job in Hong Kong but he thoug
42、ht that if he went to Singapore, he might get a much better job with more money and a larger house. His wife didnt want him to leave his job in Hong Kong and she reminded him that _. A. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush B. too many cooks spoil the broth C. you can not get blood out of a st
43、one D. he who pays the piper calls the broth DIn May 1944, when Ralph was a sailor stationed in the Pacific, he wrote a love letter to a girl named Gloria back in Chicago. He also wrote to his wife, Lillian. You can imagine Lillians surprise when she opened her letter and found Glorias included.“Dea
44、r Gloria,” it began. “Its about time I introduced myself. We havent met, yet I have heard so much about you, I must say Ive fallen in love.”“This confession might come as a shock, since you know nothing about me except what other people have told you. Dont take them too seriously. Im really not a ba
45、d fellow once you get to know me. And my feelings for you will never change as long as I live. ”“I hope this makes the proper impression and you wont think me too bold. Send me a picture. And please my love for you locked in your heart, to be opened only when I call for it in person.”Gloria, now in

50、stralia, fly south every winter. Then, they return home to spend the summer months with their life long partners.Now, scientists have found, pairs of godwits often return to their summer breeding(繁殖) grounds within three days of each other, even though they spend the entire winter apart. Its as if t
51、hey arranged the date that they would meet up again.Researchers in England, put colored leg bands on the birds. Then, they asked birdwatchers around Europe to report by email when they saw the birds during the winter.The simplest way for birds to return at the same time would be to spend the winter
52、together. After all, if theyre in different places, they cant call each other on the phone and talk about when theyll meet again. But, the survey found that couples usually spent the winter on the coast of Ireland while his mate was in France.These findings are important for protecting the birds, sc
53、ientists say. Black-tailed godwits live for up to 25 years. They spend their summer in Iceland, where they mate, but they spread all over other parts of Europe in winter. Once a pair mates, theres a 90 per cent chance that theyll return to mate with each other again the next year. So, protection of
