13、is family in a sea-side v川age, below a small mountain. One day, as he played on top of the mountain, he felt an earthquake beneath his feet. It was not strong enough to frighten anybody and passed quickly. Soon after, however, Yuuki noticed the sea darken and begin running away from the shore very f

14、ast, leaving behind wide stretches of beach that had never been exposed before.With a gasp, Yuuki remembered reading that just before a terrible tsunami, the sea suddenly and quickly rolls backward. He ran to the beach, warning the villagers who had gather to admire the huge new stretch of beach.

15、9;'Get back!” shouted the boy. ''There is terrible danger!/zBut no one listened. They laughed at him and continued playing in the new sand and watching the sea roll backward even more.Desperate, Yuuki could think of only one thing to do. He lit a tree branch, raced to the rice fields and

16、 began burning the stacks of harvested rice. Then he called out, 'Fire! Fire! Everyone run to the mountain! Now!"When everyone reached the mountain-top, a v川ager cried out, "Yuuki is mad! I saw him set the fire." Yuuki hung his head in shame, but said nothing as the villagers curs

17、ed him.Just then, someone cried, "Look!”In the distance what seemed to be a huge dark line was speeding towards the shore. As it got nearer the people realized the long thin line of darkness was the returning sea, towering like a mountain.The v川agers watched in terror as the water struck the sh

18、ore, smashing over their homes then tearing out the land as it receded.On the mountain everyone stared speechlessly at the destruction below."I'm sorry I burned the fields/7 said Yuuki, his voice trembling.“Yuuki J v川age-chief answered. "You saved us all/7The v川agers cheered and raised

23、he larger fish are probably older. If you keep the smaller ones, they won't be able to reproduce, and the fish population is in danger.But fishing out the largest fish from a population has an unwanted effect: Over time, fewer adult fish get really big. If only the smaller fish reproduce, then f

24、uture generations become smaller. This is an example of evolution in action.One scientist, Dr David Conover has spent the last decade studying the effects of the "keep the big ones“ rule and if they can be reversed.To set up his experiment, Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fis

25、h and divided them into six groups. For two groups, Conover followed the "keep the large ones“ rule and took out the biggest fish. For two other groups, he removed only the small fish.For the last two groups, he removed fish at random (隨意的).After five years, he measured the fish in each group.

26、In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. Here was evolution in action: If only small fish survive to reproduce, then future generations of fish will also tend to be small.For the second five years of

27、 his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the "keep the large ones“ group for the first five years had started to get larger again, although he calculated it would take at least 12 years f

28、or the fish in that group to return to their original size.In other words, it takes less time to shrink than it does to recover.45. The underlined word "it" (Line 2) refers to ”A. the activity B. the fish C. the ruleD. the fisherman46. Why do many people follow the "keep the big ones,

29、 throw the small ones back" rule?A. It helps to protect fish numbers.B. It helps to protect fish size.C. It is the custom in most countries.D. They will be punished if they don't.47. What did Conover find after the first five years of his experiment?A. The"keep the bigones"rulemad

30、e no difference to fish size.B. The"keep the bigones"rulemade fish smaller on average.C. The"keep the bigones"rulemade the fish bigger on average.D. The"keep the bigones"ruleaffected all fish populations in the same way.48. What is the author's intention in writing

31、this article?A. To encourage people to fish more carefully.B. To urge governments to change the rules of fishing.C. To describe the results of a scientific experiment.D. To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.CIn the story of the three little pigs, the one who built his house of straw did not

32、do well; the big bad wolf blew it down. But builder Michael Furbish, who made his own home from bales (捆)of straw, and an elementary school from the same material, says that in reality straw houses are not only strong, but also good for the environment. Straw-the stalks (桿,莖)of plants like wheat, oa

33、ts, and barley-is considered a waste material and is commonly used on farms as animal bedding. But more and more people are discovering that straw baled into rectangular blocks is an excellent and inexpensive building material.There are two ways to make a straw-bale structure. You can build load-bea

34、ring walls with them, which means the walls support the roof. Or you can build a post-and-beam wooden frame that supports the roof and fill in the walls with the bales. Either way, the walls are there to stay. And they provide great insulation(絕 緣),helping keep straw houses in cold climates warm in

35、winter and those built in hot places like the desert cool in summer. Straw is considered a "green" building material because it is a renewable resource: a whole new crop can be grown and harvested every year, easily Hrenewing" the supply. Also, planting and harvesting straw uses relat

36、ively little energy. HMost other building materials require a lot of energy to be produced/1 explains Furbish. "With straw-bale construction, you are getting a building product without using much energy at all.11Furbish used about 900 straw bales in his family's two-story, three-bedroom hou

37、se. His company also provided straw-bale walls for the Friends Community School of College Park in Maryland. That project used about 4,000 bales. When asked if there are any problems with living in a straw house, like mice nibbling (咬, 啃)on the walls, Furbish points out that the straw is completely

38、covered with plaster and stucco (灰泥).Besides, he has a couple of cats on mouse watch, just in case. Hlt would be hard to find a wall system that will wear better than straw,11 he says. The big bad wolf is just out of luck.49. The author wrote the passage in order to.A. prove that the tale of the thr

43、all day - it was boring. I wished I had gone to school/Mary's story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools taking a hard line on truancy (逃學). Philippa James, a PhD researcher at Cardiff University's school of social

44、sciences, thinks she knows why: "The more schools improve methods of detection, the more children work out better methods of deception/7 Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they'd miss whole days to avoid being caught.For several years, James has researched stud

45、ent truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, she discovered that most truancy was "a response to factors within the school” . Truants are not necessarily less advance

48、d help from the start“ she says. "It's a two-way process - schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change/753. What is
