The Channel Islands are a group of British-owned islands lying in the English
Channel(海峡), 10 to 30 miles off the French coast, and 70 to 90 miles from the English
coast. 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 them 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. English control was
unbroken until World War II, when the Germans held the islands for five years.
Although people on the islands speak both languages and they are considered
English, their customs are more French than English.
51. Which of the following maps gives the right position of the Channel Islands?
Br = Britain
Fr = France
Ch = Channel Islands

C. brought to the islands by the Germans
D. raised on well-known farms by the French
53. The Channel Islands have been continuously under British rule since
__________.

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves.
His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth
his name.
“J.C.” ,he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State
University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year
student, 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, Owens 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 to the meet. He refused to listen 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. Hitler 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,
motorcycles, 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 have kept me
alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden
moment dies hard.”
55. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when __________.
A. he went to Ohio State University
B. his teacher made fun of him
C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”
D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet
56. In the Big Ten meet, Owens __________.
A. hurt himself in the back
B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed
D. had to give up some events
57. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at
time because __________.
that
A. he was not of the right race
B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he didn't shake hands with Hitler
D. he didn't talk to the US president on the phone
58. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means that the
medals __________.
A. have been changed for money to help him live on
B. have made him famous in the US
C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
59. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

C. Making a Living as a Sportsman

Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales
Fish have ears. Really. 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 swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry
of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature,
which determines 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 tne case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and
his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-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, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.
63. 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.
64. 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.
65. 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.
66. How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”?
A. They are very interested in Thorrold's 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.

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 ticketless 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, good anywhere in the US or Canada
through Feb. 12, 2000, along with the lowest ticket prices. Some airlines offer extra
frequent-flier miles for the ticketless crowd. And there are rising punishments for
paper lovers. American, Northwest, United, and last week, US Airways have raised
the cost for lost-ticket replacement(替换)to $70 from either $60 or $50 . The
airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward
E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing
ticket.
67. Why is the new ticketless flight introduced?
A. It is cheaper for air travelers.
B. It helps reduce the cost for airlines.
C. It can use computer to plan air traveling.
D. It helps prevent fliers from losing their tickets.
