There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total population of 123, 000. The three largest islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney, have long been known for the fine breeds（品种）of cattle that are raised on there and named after them.In earliest known history the islands were considered part of Normandy, which was part of France, but the ruler of Normandy became king of England in 1066, and from then on the islands were looked upon as British land.

He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-yearstudent, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, omens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs, His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him tothe meet. He refused to mlisten to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens'victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic（体育的）but also political. hither did not congratulate any of the African-American winners."It was all right with me." he said years later, "I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."Having returned from Berlin. He received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens' Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycle, and dogs. "Sure, it bothered（烦扰） me." he said later, "But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."In time, however, his gold medals（奖牌）changed his life.

They're quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths.As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate（碳酸钙）. By looking through a microscope（显微镜）and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish's age, just like the growth rings of a tree. Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. They're examining the chemical elements（元素）of each otolith ring.The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swan on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says somethingabout water temperature, which determined how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history.In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish frommid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles.This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, TAL#NBSP fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.(1) What can we learn about fish ears from the text?A. They are small soft rings.B. They are not seen from the outside.C. They are openings only on food fish.D. They are not used to receive sound.(2) Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?A. Trees gain a growth ring each day.B. Trees also have otoliths.C. Their growth rings are very small.D. They both have growth rings.(3) Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.B. Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.C. We can know more about fish and their living environment.D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.(4) How would you understand "fish scientists are now lending their ears"A. They are very interested in Thorrold' research findings.B. They want to know where they can find fish.C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.27、【来源】 2000年高考真题北京卷（E篇）第67~70题8分(每题2分)2000年高考真题安徽卷（E篇）第67~70题8分(每题2分)The United States: Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost-saving ticket less flight-no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID（带照片的身份证）.Anyone who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airline's computer service by June 16 will get an award（奖励） Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for 99, go anywhere in the US or Canada through Feb. 12, 2000, along with the lowest ticket prices.

2000 年高考英语完形填空真题详解(北京春季卷 )My Experience in a Free School【答案与解析】本文讲述了“我”在一所free school 的经历。

free school 与一般学校不同：教室里没有成排的桌椅，没有上课的铃声，学生可以不必在教室上课，也不必按时就寝⋯总之，free school 充分体现free。

但是令“我”意想不到的是，那儿的学生却非常自觉。

1. A。

根据常识和题目中提到的free school 以及空格后的in rows ，可知答案选 A 。

2 C 。

由于学校一切都很free，不仅没有上课的铃声，而且也没有人要求学生一定要去上课 (go to class)。

3. B。

根据前面几句的句意和句子结构可知答案选 B 。

4.D。

在一般人看来，在如此free 的学校里，学生一定会为所欲为，但事实完全不是那样，所以作者这是件很“奇怪的”(strange)事。

（注：本句中的practically意为“几乎”）5.A 。

and 表并列关系。

6.C。

作者在此将新生与老生作了个对照：老生按时上课和就寝，而有的新生则熬夜(即不按时就寝 )和缺课 (miss class)。

7. B。

根据其后的but this never lasted long 可知此处应填at first( 起初 )。

8. A。

指学生需要一定的时间来适应free school 里的这种特殊的“自由” (freedom)。

此句也可说成It took the students some time to get used to the freedom 。

9. D。

一般情况下，老师都把学生当孩子看待，但这里的老师却把学生当作grown-ups( 成年人 )看待——这也是free school 与一般学校不同的地方。

10. C。

比较四个选项，同时联系空格后用作宾语的stand up, sit down, speak out ，可知选 C 最佳。

For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 23 to 29If you go into a bookshop and look at the shelves, you may easily get the impression that scientists are a special group of people, different from the rest of us. But if you look more closely, you will see what really distinguishes scientists from others is practical, rather than intellectual ability. The main reason why one scientist makes an important discovery and another does not, is often that the first knew what he was looking for, whereas the second did not.A scientist must be very careful. He must make sure that the work he does, whatever it is, can be repeated by others. He must record everything that he does, so that others can repeat it successfully. When a scientist makes a discovery, he is only suggesting to others that they should test it by the same methods.Where, then, do scientific discoveries come from? It is a popular belief that they come suddenly and unexpectedly, when a scientist is not even looking for them. But it would be more accurate to say that a man gets a scientific idea when a lot of pieces of knowledge, stored in his mind, fall into each other, forming a new pattern. During his daily work, a scientist will fall upon all kinds of ideas. He must regard them all with suspicion, for most of these ideas will be wrong.23. According to the passage, what distinguishes scientists from others?A. Their knowledge.B. Their intelligence.C. Their practical ability.D. Their academic achievements.24. What is the main reason for one scientist's success and another's failure?A. Intellectual ability.B. Excessive caution.C. Practical ability.D. Clear objectives.25. What should a scientist do after making a discovery?A. Keep it to himself.B. Continue experimenting.C. Publish it for others to test.D. Guard against repeating it.26.
