21、Comparatively few fresh-water species of fishes are limited in their distribution to a single river system, yet not many are found on both sides of a high mountain ridge, such as the Rocky Mountains in North America. That is to say, the fishes of the Mississippi Valley are generally different from those of the Pacific slope.
While it is a well-known fact that the fish life in no two river systems, even though they empty into the sea on the same side of a divide, is exactly identical, such streams do have many species in common. The principal rivers of the Atlantic slope of the United States, for example, contain several species common to all of them, including the bullhead catfish, the bluegill sunfish, and the large mouth bass. None of these species can endure salt water, so they cannot move from one river system to another. On the other hand, the more northern streams contain species not found in the southern ones, and vice versa. The common pike, for example, is found in the Atlantic streams from Maryland northward, and the brook trout and yellow perch occur only in the streams from North Carolina southward.
How the present distribution came about must remain a matter of quest. It is quite probable that some of the streams, including those on opposite sides of a divide, may have been connected at one time. Again, streams may be entirely separate during normal weather, but an exceptionally heavy rainfall or the sudden melting of snow in the uplands sometimes causes floods which may form a temporary connection between them, providing a passageway for fishes. It is also possible that water birds may accidentally carry fish or spawn(卵) from one stream to another, or that man may be instrumental in such a transfer.
【1】The fishes in the Atlantic slope cannot move from one river system to another because ________.
A.there is no canal linking different rivers
B.fishes cannot swim by way of the Atlantic
C.different rivers do not have the same salt content
D.different fishes need different rivers
【2】What is NOT the reason for the same fish to be found in different rivers?
A.Different rivers may have been linked to each other in the past.
B.Floods carried fish from one river to another.
C.Birds carried fish from place to place.
D.Earthquake may have caused links between rivers.
【3】“man may be instrumental in such a transfer” in the last sentence means ________.
A.man may use instruments to transport fish
B.the movement of fish doesn’t depend on human instruments
C.it is because of man that fish can move from one river to another
D.it is through man’s tools that fish can move from one river to another
【4】Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?
A.Fish Distribution and the Reasons.
B.Why Different Rivers Have the Same Fishes.
C.Different Fishes in Different Rivers.
D.Similar Fishes in Different Rivers.
22、The Origins of Famous Brands
Our lives are full of brand names and trademarked products that we use every day. Although many brand names are simple acronyms(首字母缩略词) or versions of their founders names, some of the companies we trust every day actually have fascinating and surprising back stories.
Starbucks
It seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world’s greatest works of literature. The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. The founders’ original idea was to name the company after the Captain Ahab’s ship, but they eventually decided that Pequot wasn’t a great name for coffee, so they chose Ahab’s first mate, Starbucks, as the name instead.
Google was originally called Backrub, for it searched for links in every corner of the Web. In 1997, when the founders of the company were searching for a new name showing a huge amount of data for their rapidly improving search technology, a friend suggested the word “googol”. When a friend tried to register the new domain (域) name, he misspelled “googol” as “google”.
Nike
Originally founded as a distributor for Japanese running shoes, the company was originally named BRS, or Blue Ribbon Sports. In 1971, BRS introduced its own soccer shoe, a model called Nike, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of victory. In 1978, the company officially renamed itself as Nike, Inc.
The right name is essential to a company’s success, and a great origin story is just as important as a great product. An attractive origin story is one more thing that keeps customers guessing, wondering, and buying its products.
【1】What is the name of the Captain Ahab’s ship?
A.Moby Dick.
B.Starbucks.
C.Pequot.
D.Herman Melville.
【2】Why did the founders of the Google want to change its name?
A.They mistook their name.
B.They wanted new customers.
C.The company’s original name was too long.
D.The company’s search technology was improving rapidly.
【3】Where does the importance of the origin story of one company lie in?
A.It can change the company’s image.
B.It can add myth to the company.
C.It explains the development of the company to customers.
D.It makes customers imagine and purchase its goods.
23、
In Factfulness, Professor Hans Roslingasks raises questions like ‘How many girls finish school?’ and ‘What percentage of the world’s population is poor?’ It turns out that the majority of us get the answers to these questions completely wrong. Why does this happen? Factfulness sets out to explain why, showing that there are several human instincts that distort(扭曲)our perspective. This book focuses on our instinctive biases(偏见), offering practical advice to help us see the good as well as the bad in the world. | |
Are things getting worse every day? Is progress an impossible goal? In Enlightenment Now, Steven Pinker looks at the big picture of human progress and finds good news. We are living longer, healthier, freer and happier lives. Pinker asks us to stop paying so much attention to negative headlines and news that declares the end of the world. Instead, he shows us some carefully selected data. In 75 surprising graphs, we see that safety, peace, knowledge and health are getting better all over the world. Economic inequality, he claims, is not really a problem, because it is not actually that important for human well-being. | |
For more than two hundred years those who hold negative thoughts have been winning the public debate. They tell us that things are getting worse. But as a matter of fact, life is getting better. Income, food availability and lifespan are rising; disease, violence and child mortality are falling. Best-selling author Matt Ridley doesn’t only explain how things are getting better; he gives us reasons why as well. He shows us how human culture evolves in a positive direction thanks to the exchange of ideas and specialization. This bold book looks at the entirety of human history-from the Stone Age to the 21st century—and changes the concept that it’s all going downhill. | |
The majority of people believe that developing countries are in a terrible situation: suffering from incredible poverty and wars. The reality is that a great transformation is occurring. Over the past 20 years, more than 700 million people have increased their income and come out of poverty. This is happening across developing countries around the world. In his book The Great Surge, Stevens Radelet describes how all of this is happening and, more importantly, it shows us how we can speed up the process. |
【1】What is the common feature of the four books?
A.They focus on the present situations concerning developing countries.
B.They emphasize the importance of dealing with problems in poor countries.
C.They try to direct readers to a positive path in terms of human development.
D.They appeal to show more sympathy and understanding for poor countries.
【2】Which author supports his arguments by providing factual evidence?
A.Hans Roslingasks.
B.Steven Pinker.
C.Matt Ridley.
D.Stevens Radelet.
【3】Which of the following can be a possible title for Book 3?
