It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!66.

Richard’s mother, Bicknell,said from her home in Hampshire,“It’s so much coincidence.Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached to a poem,which included the date of his disappearance.”“Now, it’s very strange because all they have found is Richard’s dinghy.We need to know this time what has happened one way or another.If you know at least you can go through the grieving process(悲痛的过程).”In November 1996,Mr. Smith’s father, Charlie,was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife.They lost radio contact with the shore and they, together with their yacht were never seen again,and their disappearance remains a mystery.Richard is described a talented(有才能的)and experienced sailor who has crewed for the champion ocean racer.He had sailed to the。

There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. "Come on!" My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. "You'll feel great."Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I'm not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding (追击) ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, "I love being out there with just my thoughts" Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.41. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer's neighborhood _____.A. jogging became very popularB. people jogged only during the daytimeC. Alex organized an army of joggersD. jogging provided a chance to get together42. What was the writer's attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.43. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside.B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.44. From the writer's experience, we can conclude that _____.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.BAn Italian couple are to become the world's oldest divorcees, after the 99 - year –old husband found that his 96 - year - old wife had an affair(婚外情)in the 1940s.The Italian man, called by lawyers in the case as Antonio C, was looking through an old drawer when he made the discovery a few days before Christmas.In spite of the time that had passed since the affair, he was so upset that he immediately asked his wife of 77years, named as Rosa C, whether it was true, and demanded a divorce.Stricken by the guilt, she reportedly admitted everything but was unable to persuade her husband to reconsider his decision, though her children also did much more work.She wrote the letters to her lover during a secret affair in the 1940s, according to court papers released in Rome this week, which made people know the truth.The couple are now preparing to split; though the marriage they built has lasted over nearly eight decades-they have five children, a dozen grandchildren and one great-grand child.The discovery of the letters was the final problem for their marriage which had already run into difficulty-10 years ago the husband briefly left their house in Rome and moved in with one of his sons, only to return a few weeks later.The Italian thought the fierce split resulted from the couple's southern blood 一he is originally from Olbia in Sardinia: while his wife was born in Naples.The couple met during the 1930s when Antonio served as a young officer.The case appears to set a new record, at least for the age of the oldest figures –the previous oldest couple to divorce were Bertie and Jessie Wood, both aged 98, from the UK.That pair ended their 36-year marriage in 2009 when they were both two years away from their l00th birthdays.They got married in Elstree, Hertfordshire, in 1972, having both ended previous marriages, before moving to Falmouth, Cornwall four years later.45. Which is true according to the text?A.To find his wife' affair, Antonio C looked through an old drawer.B.Rosa C' lover may be Bertie.C.Rosa C admitted what she did because she was sorry for her guilt.D.The Italian thought the fierce split resulted from the discovery of the letters.46. Which of the following best describe Antonio C?A. A childish man.B. A rude man.C. A romantic manD. A stubborn man47.The marriage of Antonio C and Rosa C_______ .A.may come to an end because the husband sticks to his decisionB.appears to set a new recordC.may have lasted over 36 yearsD.began in the 1930s before both ending previous marriages48.This passage may come from________.A.a text book B.a newspaper C.a history book D.an advertisementCHundreds of great books are published in America every year.And every year,editors,critics and many readers try to choose a list of favorites.A few books showed up on list after list of the best fiction from this year.One of them was Ann Patchett's “State of Wonder”.Publishers Weekly described the novel as one “readers will hate to see end.”The story centers on a drug researcher from Minnesota named Maria Singh.She travels to Brazil to investigate the death of a co-worker.Her search takes her deep into the Amazon area and danger.But.she also goes deep into her own soul for a close look at who she is, what she has lost in her life and how she wants the future to look.Ann Patchett lives in Tennessee.She told Publishers Weekly magazine that the state is leafy.She visited that area while doing research for the novel.Chad Harbach's name was also all

book is about a college baseball star.He suffers a mental crisis and begins to fail on the playing field as a result.But the book is about much more than the sport of baseball.It also is a story of love, loss,friendship and growing up.Chad Harbach says his own upbringing influenced the book.“The Marriage Plot” also got a 10t of attention this year.It is the third book from Pulitzer Prize winner Jeffrey Eugenides.He spent almost ten years writing it.“The Marriage Plot” is also a story about becoming an adult.It follows the lives of three students in their final year of college and

famous writersC.The introduction of three books D.The common features of interesting booksDTrying to leave work at the office is proving to be a challenge for many British workers,with research showing that heavy workloads,conflicts and bosses all make an appearance in dreams.Work-related issues are the number one topic featuring in dreams,with colleagues invading shut eye time more than celebrities.More than 20 per cent surveyed admitted that they regularly dream about their boss.One in three dreams about work when they are stressed in their job and a quarter stated that they dream about a colleague if there was a conflict with them earlier that day.Of the 2,000 people surveyed,20 per cent dreamed more if they were under pressure or stressed.The research found that the average person dreams most nights,with only 12 per cent saying they never dream.However, dreams often leave people confused,with 52 per cent saying they do not make sense and 60 per cent wishing they could know what they mean.Commenting on the survey carried out by One Poll for Premier Inn hotels,dreams expert Davina MacKail said:“Whether we are asleep or awake.a problem with a colleague or stress at work can really affect us.More than hal f of the nation stated that their dreams don’t make sense so I have worked with Premier Inn to make a Dream Dictionary to help dreamers to understand why they dream ,what they do and what those dreams mean.”A spokesman for Premier Inn said:“It is really i mportant to try to unwind after a hard day at work but that is easier said than done if something is playing on your mind.”53.It’s hard for the workers to leave work because they often ______.A.spend the night in their offices B.sleep with office issues in mindC.have very long office hours D.have

My Spanish friends wanted advice about _________.A.learning English B.finding places to stay in England C.driving their car on English roads D.going to England by car32. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ________.A.they would be able to practise their EnglishB.it would be much cheaper than staying in hotelsC.it would be convenient for them to have dinnerD.there would be no problem about finding accommodation33. “No vacancies” in English means ____.A.no free rooms B.free roomsC.not away on holiday D.holidays34. If you see a road sign that says “Diversion”,you will ____A.fall into a hole B.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself C.find that the road is blocked by people D.have to take a different road35. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I _______.A.hadn't finished drinking my coffeeB.was expecting another cup of coffeeC.meant that I didn't want any moreD.was never misunderstood .BResearchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races and rates(率) of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer.Researchers say genetics(遗传学) might help explain the racial and ethnic(种族的)differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported tobreathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer.Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted(针对) medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine." 36.Which of the following orders is from higher to lower risk of having lung cancer?A.Whites—Native Hawaiians B.Africans—Americans—LatinosC.Asians—Native Hawaiians D.Africans—Americans—Native Hawaiians 37.Researchers agree that it is that may probably determine black people’s risk of lung cancer.A.the larger amount of smoking than white peopleB.the living style or habit of the blacksC.the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungsD.the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke38.People in the new study are made up of .A.heavy smokers in America B.the black and white peopleC.the Asians and Hawaiians D.smokers and non-smokers39.The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to .A.explain different races react to some diseases differentlyB.tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokersC.show a big step people have taken in the medicine areaD.support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers40.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the author?A.The way of smoking may increase the risk of lung cancer.B.Race has nothing to do with the risk of having a lung cancer.C.The research was started by the New England Journal of Medicine.D.The risk of lung cancer lies I how much a person smokes.CAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that yourliving room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it w as hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is n ot to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”41.The passage tells us that .A.people seldom work long hours to make moneyB.people hardly buy more things than necessaryC.people are sure everything they own is in the right placeD.people realize there is more to life than just making money42.When Daniel was a reporter he ___.A.lived in central London B.disliked his jobC.missed his children D.was well paid43.Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____.A.was easy to organize B.has improved family lifeC.was extremely expensive D.has been a total success44.What does the author mean by saying“the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph ?A.People work long hours to earn their living.B.To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.C.Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.D.People spent too much time and money eating meals.45.The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _________.A.repairing your car by yourselfB.spending money carefullyC.moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD.living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week第二部分(共四小节,40分)第一节语法填空(每小题1.分,满分10分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Frankly speaking, I was once certain that traditional letters could never be replaced by other means of communication.But a story about online communication changed my mind.An old man, who suffered a lot from Parkinson’s disease, was not able to talk clearly and could hardly write his name. Living totally alone, he managed to keepin touch with nearly all the members of his family. How did he achieve this? He clicked out words on his computer keyboard.I, therefore, managed to get an E-mail box as soon as the opportunity came. My life changed. E-mail, and all online communication, is something truly different. It has capabilities that few other products can match.E-mail is convenient. It takes less time with its fast speed and 24-hour connection. The slow postal service is no match. If you wouldn’t want to have a face-to-face talk with your manager, you might talk with him through E-mail even if you are in the same office.Naming all the good things about online communication is not easy. But wait. E-mail can be inconvenient. It can waste time and energy. Just think what may happen when you take a short vacation and return to find your e-mail box filled with 200 unread messages. You could easily spend half a day clearing junk ads.Then, online communication will keep us staying at our computer while it connects us to distant strangers. Once we throw ourselves into the machine, we may forget the human touches weonce held so dear. I’m sure there is and always will be a place for the old-fashioned letter, phone call, and face-to-face meeting…even in the world of modern communication.As I listen to the sound of the modem(调制解调器), I was excited at stepping out to the outside world but, at the same time, I sensed a loss of control over something valuable in my personal life.41. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word “junk”in paragraph7?A. old and uselessB. New and usefulC. Short but valuableD. Long but clear42. What caused the writer to become interested in E-mail and online communication?A. The sound of the modem.B. His own illness.C. The changing o f his life.D. A sick old man’s experience.43. What does the writer think of online communication?A. It should replace old-fashioned letters completely.B. It is perfect and always does good to you.C. It is extrem ely useful and convenient, but it may be inconvenient or even harmful.D. It does more harm than good.44. According to the writer, traditional means of communication will never disappear because ________.A. they are convenient and popular though they are slowB. they help to keep the friendly relationship between peopleC. most people cannot keep up with the development of technologyD. modern means of communication does too much harm45. How did the sick old man keep in touch with his family members?A. With the help of his computer.B. By writing letters with his pen.C. By making telephone calls.D. By visiting them regularly.BResearch shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behaviour when they are watched. Do you?A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity donation, collection box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenb ach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behaviour. Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow coded into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realising it.It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler. When no other fishare around, however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish it is supposed to be cleaning.The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to make them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it was a picture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption 'I Want You' It encouraged hundreds of thousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese.46.According to the report, why does a person behave better when he feels he is being watched?A.He does not want to be shamed by others.B.He needs to show he is a good person.C.He desires others to like him more.D.He feels he will receive some social reward.47.The underlined word 'coded' (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to .A.hidden B.programmed C.forgotten D.leaned48.What is the text mainly about?A.It describes changed behaviour when observed.B.It details ways to control people's behaviour.C.It tells how to make people work harder.D.It discusses different advertising methods.49.According to the text, which of the following statements is true?A.People pretend to behave better when they are watched.B.Fish bite other fish in a fish tank when they are alone.C.People donate more money when they feel they are watched.D.Soldiers fought better during World War II because of a poster. 50.Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?A.In a newspaper. B.In a scientific journal.C.In an advertising magazine. D.In a science textbook.CWhen I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books. Half the students laguhed. The rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be silly, only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this semester.” I was so humiliated(羞辱) that I burst into tears.That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capri’s Weekly ne wspaper. To my astonishment, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed it to my teacher and fellow students. They laughed. “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted success. I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was fine with me.During the next two years I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I graduated from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks filled with my published work. I never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dreamkillers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose thei r dreams.I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. While the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months, just like a baby.A month later Crying Wind, the title of my book, became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and Braille and sold worldwide. I appeared on TV talk shows. I traveled from New York to California and Canada on promotional tours. My first book also became required reading in native American schools in Canada.People ask what college I attended, what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I’m not gifted and I don’t write right. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right but I’ve beaten the odds. Writing is easy, it’s fun and anyone can do it. Of course, a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.51. Why did many students laugh after hearing what the writer said?A. Because they didn’t like himB. Because they wished he could be successful as a writerC. Because their teacher laughed, tooD. Because they felt it impossible for him to succeed52. When the writer graduated from high school, ___________.A. he had become a famous writerB. he had made progress in his studies.C. his classmates and teachers changed t heir attitudes towards himD. he decided he wouldn’t become a writer53. What prevented him telling others about his writing?A. The characters in his story.B. His teacher.C. His early experience.D. His parents.54. What can we infer from the passage?A. It is difficult for a person, who cares about what others say, to succeed.B. It is important for a person to tell others what he wants to do.C. It is necessary for a person, who wants to succeed, to take others’ advice.D. It is impossible for an ordinary person to be a writer in the future.55. Which of the following is the best title?A. A famous writerB. I Hate My Classmates and TeachersC. I Never Write RightD. A Genius Can Be a WriterDPeople are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, freeservice, and don’t realize that they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personalinformation. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data(资料) toadvertisers that want to send targeted (目标的)messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know whatthe company isup to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because peopledon’t really know what their personal d etails are worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Earlyon, you could kee p everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—youcould create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed itsprivacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—wereset, by default(默认), to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simplymaking changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, theyhave a “less satisfying experience.”Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Itsoriginal business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the sideof the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connectingwith their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. InApril, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. Healso urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade(侵犯)our privacy, it’s only the beginning,w hich is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销) my account(账号). Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.56. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.C. It earns money by selling its user’s personal dataD. It provides a lot of information to its users57. What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They don’t know their personal data enriches FacebookB. They are unwilling to give up their personal informationC. They don’t identify themselves when using websiteD. They care very little about their personal information58. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To help its users make more friendsB. To obey the Federal guidelinesC. To make money by attracting more usersD. To offer better service to its users59. What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for?A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websitesB. Setting rules for social-networking sitesC. Stopping sharing user’s personal informationD. Removing ads from all social-networking sites60. Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its service.B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

To get a sense of how big,various and magical Toronto is,the best place to start is the CN Tower,the tallest freestanding(无支撑物的)building in the world. From this point,visitors can get a bird'seye view of the city's amazing scenery and unique geography.In addition to being an important center of culture,trade and communication in Canada,Toronto is also a major multiethnic city. It has a population of over 4.5 million and its citizens come from countries around the world and from all mannerof ethnic backgrounds. Every day,in most places of the city,a hundred different languages can be heard on the streets,from Hindi to Greek to French. This,perhaps,explains why former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said that Canada is really more mosaic(马赛克,镶嵌图案) of cultures and languages than a melting pot. Street signs in Toronto are mostly in English. Weekly and daily newspapers are published in various languages,and the city hosts successful international film festival each September.

It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches th e daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the daybefore. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!66. The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun’s raysC. at low tideD. every fifty minutes67.

The crab’s colour—changing ability was probably developed ______.A. in the process of evolution (进化)B. over millions of yearsC. by the work of biologistsD. both A and B70. The best title for this selection would be ______.A. The Sun and the TidesB. Discoveries in BiologyC. A scientific StudyD. A Living ClockCA young British sailor was missing at sea yesterday in similar circumstances(情况) to the way his father died five years ago.The dinghy(救生橡皮船),used to take Richard Smith,21,to his yacht(快艇),was discovered empty, floating in seas off the Caribbean island.An air and sea search was carried out but he has still not been discovered.Richard’s mother, Bicknell,said from her home in Hampshire,“It’s so much coincidence.Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached to a poem,which included the date of his disappearance.”“Now, it’s very strange because all they have found is Richard’s dinghy.We need to know this time what has happened one way or another.If you know at least you can go through the grieving process(悲痛的过程).”In November 1996,Mr. Smith’s father, Charlie,was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife.They lost radio contact with the shore and they, together with their yacht were never seen again,and their disappearance remains a mystery.Richard is described a talented(有才能的)and experienced sailor who has crewed for the champion ocean racer.He had sailed to the。
