of fishes, and they are quite different from each other in size and life period. What"s more, it is not easy to
find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.
We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we can not say how long more it would have
lived if we had not caught it.
We may keep fishes and record their life period but we can"t be sure that this is the length of time they
would have lived had they been left alone.
We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest
on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life period.
Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they have grown up. They continue to grow as
long as they live, although the speed of growth slows down in mature fishes.
B. Its life period
C. Its size
D. Its growth speed
B. This article refers to no way of settling the problem.
C. We must go on recording while we"re keeping a fish.
D. We should make marking of its growth speed and calculate its life period.

he could sail on it. But he could not go far beneath its surface.
Man wants to explore deep into the sea. However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he can"t stay
under the water"s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and
problems.
A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture
of gases. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above. He can carry a tank of air on his
back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water
pushes against a diver deep in the sea. His body is under great pressure.
When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to
surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles
(气泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends. The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. They
can even kill him.
B. the problems a diver faces in deep sea
C. air pressure under the surface of sea water
D. a kind of illness that man suffers in the sea
B. divers explore the deep sea only for treasure
C. there is a special mixture of gases under the sea
D. diving under the water too quickly causes a kind of illness
B. His diving suit weighs too much
C. He comes to the surface too quickly
D. He tries to do exercise under the sea
B. the sea began to interest man in the last few years
C. all divers will get the bends sooner or later
D. the bends may kill a diver
travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to
try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think
over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar (不熟悉). You can not enjoy a story if
you stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent
yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on (依靠) the
context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention
from the main thread (主线) of the story. In all probability (可能) you will meet the same word again a few
pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it your understanding of it will become
more exact.
B. to try to catch the meaning of every word in the book
C. to try to understand all the writer is going to tell you
D. to try to understand the main idea of the book
B. stop and think them over
C. try to guess their meanings from the context
D. have none of them
B. to read quickly and not too carefully
C. to read very carefully

a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young. They
build their homes about 4.6 m above the river, an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young. It is
called the hoatzin.
In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on
the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its
nearest relatives are the common bires, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though is only found in the young.
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using
these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like
primitive bires must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lost their claws.
The drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20:00, but in
April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two seven birds for
producing purposes.
