18、the coins onto the table: $3.30. Everything she had.“Mom,” she told Ann, “I know its not much. But maybe this will buy a present for the baby.”At a breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her coworkers about her daughters story.

24、ignals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan(named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago). Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Ven
25、usian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility(可行性)of a manned flying saucer(飞碟)landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.“We have come to the conclusion, based on last weeks satellite landing,” Pro. Zog said, “that there is no l
26、ife on the Earth.”“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.“For one thing, Earths surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobod
27、y could possibly breathe this air and survive.”“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?”“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means heavier flying saucer than we originally planned.”“Are there any other risks that you discovered in your studies?”“Take a l
28、ook at his photo. You see this dark black cloud floating over the surface of Earth?” We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt. We dont know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”“If what you say is true,
29、 wont this set back the flying saucer program several years?”“Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds.”“Pro. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?“Because if we Venusians can learn t
30、o breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then. We can live anywhere.”28.

34、But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales paths and the ships travel lines overlap (重叠), and a ship will hit a whale. According to a new study, these ship strikes have become
35、 a serious threat to the overall population of the worlds blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries. In 2007 alone, large
36、ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The es
37、timated population of blue whales in this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.” Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very s
38、imple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands. The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow t
39、he ships crew (船员）more time to change course before hitting a whale. Several of the worlds largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/小时）, the company that owns the ship
40、will be paid $2,500. 32. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_. A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for money B. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the sea C. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area 33. Why
41、is the death of several whales regarded as significant loss to the worlds blue whales? A. Because the number of the blue whales is so small.B. Because other blue whales will be scared away. C. Because blue whales are the largest animals in the world. D. Because many blue whales get killed throughout
42、 the year. 34. According to Sean Hastings, its inferred that . A. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list. C. most of the worlds blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean. D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creat
43、ures. 35. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about? A. The basic responsibility of a sailor. B. Measures to protect the blue whales.C. The worlds largest shipping lines. D.

44、iction and fantasy works._36_His argument is that children shouldnt be discouraged from reading what adults may think of as bad books. He is dead right. A child in a library is an explorer venturing into a land where he has no map to guide him. This is part of the excitement. Everything is new. 37 H
45、is taste is yet unformed, and it cannot be formed until he has tried a variety of thing. Not knowing what books are good or bad, an eager child will try very different things. 38 At the age of eleven or twelve, I still read Enid Blyton Stevensons Kidnapped, was happily terrified by ghost stories and
46、 desperately wanted to be Rupert of Hentzau, a most attractive evil character in literature. A child reads for enjoyment from all sorts of books. I cant remember when I stopped reading comics like the Wizard and Hotspur, but Im pretty sure that my reading of them continued even while I was delighted
47、 in Sherlock Holmes or in the short stories of HG Wells. 39 Never say “Dont read that rubbish” or “Youre too young for that”. If he is really too young and the book is beyond him, hell put it aside. If he doesnt, then hes not too young, even if he misses much that an adult reader would find in it. T
