We can’t see them, but they do a lot for us. Protozoa are useful for fish and other animals. Some protozoa are good for human beings by eating dangerous bacteria（细菌）, but some parasites（寄生虫）make human beings ill. Fish There are over 20,000 different kinds of fish. Some of them are very small, but some are big. For example, the whale shark is over 60 feet long. Most fish breathe through gills. Gills make them get oxygen in water. Most fish use fins and tails for swimming. Amphibians Amphibians have eggs in water, and young amphibians are like small fish. The tadpole lives in water. It has a tail and gills. So it can breathe under water. When it becomes a frog, it doesn’t have the gills or the tail, but then it has legs for walking on land. Most amphibians can both walk on land and swim in water. 41. The passage is about ______. A. human beings B. plants C. animals D. water 42. ______ can both walk on land and swim in water. A. All amphibians B. Few amphibians C. Not all amphibians D. Every amphibian 43. What does the underline word “gills” mean in Chinese? A. 尾巴 B. 心脏 C. 肝 D. 鳃 44. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. Young amphibians are fish. B. Most fish use fins and tails for swimming. C. Fish and little amphibians have gills. D. We can’t see protozoa because they are small. 45. Which subject can you find this article from encyclopedia.? A. Art B. History C. Science D. Music B Many simple tricks（戏法）are about numbers. Here is one trick. If you play with it, you will find it’s really funny. First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Jin Shang Road, you would write down 73. Second, double it. For example, if your house number is 73 and you double it, you will get 146. Third, add 5 to this number, and here you will get 151. Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, you’ll get 7550. The next step is to add your age to this number. For example, if you’re 16 years old, you should add 16 to 7550. In our example here, the result（结果）will be 7566. After that, you need to add the number of days in a year, which is 365, to the result. In our example here, add 365 to 7566 is 7931. The final step is this: Subtract 615 from 7931. In our example,7931 minus 615 is 7316. Then you will find the final result is interesting. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the number is your age. That is, 73 is the address that you start with, and 16 is the age that you use. Isn’t it interesting? Do you want to have a try now? 46. How many steps are there in the trick? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 47. What’s the fourth step in the example in this passage? A. 146+5=151 B. 151*50=7550 C. 7550+16=7566 D. 7566+365=7931 48. What does a boy NOT need to write when he plays this trick? A. His age. B.His height. C. His address. D. The number of days in a year. 49. Tom is 22, and he lives in 79 Xingfu Road. If he plays this trick, what will the result be? A. 7922. B. 7299. C. 2279. D. 2297. 50. Why does the writer write the passage? A. To ask us to study hard on maths. B. To tell us how to learn maths well. C. To ask us to find more maths tricks. D. To tell us an interesting maths trick. C Where did these numbers come from? Eleven and Twelve The number “eleven” comes from the German word “ainlif”, which means “one left” in English. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes from “twalif” --- “two left”. Why did people use “teen” instead of “lif” from 13 to 19? We still don’t know. 42.195 Kilometres in a Marathon（马拉松） The story began with an ancient Greek soldier Pheidippides. Once his country won a big war（战争）and he carried the good news from Marathon to Athens. He ran so fast that he died after telling people the news. To remember Pheidippides, people held the first modern marathon in the first Olympic Games in 1896. It was about 40 km from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. They made it 42.195km. And since 1924 the number 42.195 has been kept in marathon. 28 Days in February Before the calendar（历法）we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome changed the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, and then made 56 days to divide between January and February (28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year. but February still had 28 days. That’s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since. 51. Which language do eleven and twelve come from? A. English B. German C. French D. Russian 52. The marathon became longer at London Olympic Games because ______. A. the British was bad at Maths B. the British didn’t like the Greek story C. the British wanted to run longer D. the British wanted to make the race different 53. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. We don’t know why the numbers from 13 to 19 didn’t follow the rule of twelve. B. There used to be 304 days a year according to one of the first Roman calendars. C. The Greek soldier ran from Athens to Marathon to carry the good news. D. After changing the old calendar, February became the shortest month in a year. 54. What is the PURPOSE（目的）of the passage? A. To introduce numbers B. To explain 42.195 kilometers in a Marathon C. To show the magic of numbers D. To tell people where these numbers came from 55. Where can you probably find this article? A. In a travel guide. B. In a magazine. C. In a diary. D. In a science book. 五、阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分；满分5分） 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。请在答题卡上涂上相应的选项，其中E选项把“AB”涂黑。 Do you know Australia?
