第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） They’re in restaurants,hotels and homes all over the world. The saltwater aquarium, with its colour fish, bring a piece of the wild into your living room.
But do you really know where those saltwater fish come from? A full 97 percent, yes, almost all kinds of saltwater fish can’t be bred in captivity (人工养殖). They must instead be taken from the ocean. And how is that done?
Most of the time, with sodium cyanide, it is a harmful chemical compound that many fish collectors in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia use to catch fish. They mix it with water and use it on the fish. Stunned, the fish can then be easily caught.
What does cyanide do to the fish? There is a scientific study on cyanide’s effects. When there is cyanide in water, fish lose their balance and have difficulty breathing. Some fish simply die then and there. Many, many more die on the way to captivity.
Although cyanide fishing in the Philippines, Sir Lanka, and Indonesia is not allowed, it sill happens too often. According to the World wildlife Fund, up to 90 percent of the saltwater fish that enter the US each year are caught this way. The Center for Biological Diversity is calling on the US government to avoid these imports.
“Compared to many environmental problems now facing the world’s oceans, this is one that can easily be solved,” said Nicholas Whipps of the Center. “Because the US is such a powerful market player in this industry, the responsibility to stop this practice falls largely on the United State’ shoulders.”
In the Philippines, private planes bring in cyanide to the fisherman and then take away the live fish. Live fish give the fisherman a better life than dead ones, so more and more fishermen have turned from supplying the fish-for-food trade to the fish-for-aquariums trade.
The Center for Biological Diversity hopes the government will use the law to turn away cyanide-caught fish and persuade people to buy those only raised in captivity.
1、What can we lean about cyanide fishing?
A．It is within the law. B．It is the main reason why fish die.
C．It brings death to many fish. D．It causes health problems for fishermen.
2、A fish collector can easily catch saltwater fish when ________.
A．they become sick B．they are swimming in cyanide-filled water
C．they consider cyanide as food D．they get out of breath while trying to escape
3、The underline word “this” in Paragraph 6 refers to _________.
A．importing fish from foreign countries B．using private planes to carry fish
C．overfishing in the ocean D．catching fish with cyanide
4、What does the Center want Americans to do?
A．Say no to cyanide-caught fish. B．Keep cyanide fishing.
C．Stay away from the harmful cyanide. D．Raise more fish in captivity.
22．（8分） Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at B. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid -or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen. com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75.And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡f62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for f 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
1、At W, you can ________.
A．find a room close to the station
B．find a room which costs less
C．know how to kill time
D．know when and where there will be events
2、“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________.
A．an ideal holiday destination
B．the name of a railway station
C．a hotel away from the train station
D．the tube line to Covent Garden
3、The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat _________.
A．lies on the ground floor
B．provides cooking facilities for tourists
C．is located in central London
D．costs over f100 on average per day in late September
23．（8分）The following are the largest Latino companies in terms of revenue across the country, according to HispanicB.

24．（8分）My track and field coach, Mr Jones, had decided to get the team to take part in the 4x100m race. It would be the first time that we were running in such a race. We needed to work as a team to improve on our speed. The most critical moment was the passing of the baton (接力棒) at the right time to the next runner.
Mr Jones had chosen me to start the race. The next runner would be Susan. In the beginning, whenever we practised passing the baton, something would go terribly wrong. I would either be going too slowly or she would be taking off too late. We needed to perfect it. At the same time, I had to make sure that I would not go beyond the yellow line.
Finally it was the day of the race. We were confident that the gold medal would be ours. Each of us had improved in our running speed. Our passing of the baton had been perfected during the practices.
My reactions were exact and accurate as I started running. Everything felt the way it should as I sprinted towards Susan. I held the baton in my sweaty palms, promising myself not to let go. My long legs moved me as fast as I could go round the comer. As I came closer to my final steps, my heart was beating faster than usual. The cheering by the spectators (观众) got into me and I became nervous. “What if we lose?” I thought to myself. It was then that I saw Susan in the far distance.
I held out the baton and continued running quickly towards Susan. Susan yelled “Slow down, slow down!” However, it was too late. The official held up the red flag. It was then that I realized that I had gone beyond the yellow line.
1、What does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph refer to?
A．Going too slowly. B．Taking off too late.
C．Passing the baton. D．Going beyond the yellow line.

B．They had perfected the running speed and the passing of the baton.
C．They had learned how to avoid breaking the rules in the race.
D．They gained an advantage of a stable state of mind in the race.
3、What can we infer about the author?
A．He ran too fast throughout the race. B．He lost his focus in the race.
C．His start skill needed improving. D．He was not well-trained in running.
4、How would the author feel after the race?
A．Proud. B．Grateful.
C．Puzzled. D．Disappointed.
25．（10分）Our solar system might be crazier than we once thought. Scientists say that deep within Uranus（天王星） and Neptune（海王星） it rains diamonds．
On Earth. diamonds form under extreme heat and pressure. The inside of Uranus and Neptune also has high temperatures and pressures. What's more, the blue planets are largely made up of icy water and gases such as methane(甲烷).
So scientists have long believed that deep inside the two planets, the heat and pressure the methane into hydrogen (氢)and carbon (碳) Then diamond rain would form, falling toward the center of the planets.
But no one could prove that this would really work-until now. In a study published recently in the journal Nature Astronomy, scientists say they were able to create this kind of "diamond rain" in a lab, reported The Guardian.
Scientists used high-powered lasers to create pairs of shockwaves through a kind of plastic. The plastic is made from hydrogen and carbon, much like methane. The shock waves created high pressure and heat, like that inside Uranus and Neptune.
"The experimental time is very short, Dominik Kraus, lead author of the study, told The Guardian. "That we saw this very clear signature of diamonds was actually very, very surprising”.
The diamonds created in the lab were tiny, only a few nanometers (纳米)wide. Scientists believe that diamonds would be much larger within Neptune and Uranus. Then they might slowly sink toward the planets center because of gravity.
1、What factor is needed to form diamonds?
A．Extreme heat and pressure B．Hydrogen and carbon
C．lcy water and gases D．High-powered lasers
