E

Thirty years ago, when the movie version of my novel Jaw was published, few people including me knew very much about great white sharks. For hundreds of generations, we humans have been taught to fear and hate sharks, and the movie touched a nerve of horror.

Now something long thought impossible has happened. A great white shark was successfully held in capacity for several months. In August last year a very young female great white shark was caught accidentally in a fisherman's net off Huntington Beach, California, and then kept in an ocean pen (欄柵) for 25 days. After being moved to the Monterey Bay Aquarium (水族館), she grew well in the million-gallon Outer Bay Exhibit. She was so lovely that people all liked her very much. Perhaps she was too young to understand that the big tank was not her natural environment, because she didn't hit her head against the walls in an attempt to swim away as others of her kind have done. And she began to feed almost immediately on small fish offered to her on a pole. In the months that followed, the shark suffered no serious injuries, caught no diseases, and grew noticeably larger, breaking all records for great white sharks in capacity. The longest that any other great white shark had been held was 16 days.

Until February 23, that is, when she hit and killed a soup fin shark (翅鯊) , as she grew bigger and her behavior grew more aggressive, officials at the Aquarium knew the time had come. On March 31, after 198 days in the aquarium, the great white shark was released into the Pacific.

Scientists still have a lot to learn about sharks, especially great white sharks which are now considered to be in danger. Scientists do know that sharks are necessary to ocean health. Remove any significant animal from the sea food chain and you will risk destroying the balance of nature.

72. We can see that in the film Jaw the shark was once described as______.

A. a pet of children       B. a horror to human beings

C. a friend of the aged D. a guard of its owner

73. Different from the others of her kind, the young female great white shark was somewhat _____in the beginning.

A. terrible and dangerous      B. fierce and cruel  C. loyal and friendly    D. gentle and lovely

74. By saying that "officials at the aquarium knew the time had come", the writer probably means that the female great white shark______.

A. had to be killed    B. escaped from the big tank

C. had to be set free         D. began to hit and kill other animals

75. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?

A. We should protect great white sharks as well as other ocean animals.

B. The female great white shark will be attacked by some other animals.

C. Great white sharks are becoming more and more

D. We should kill the enemies of white sharks in the oceans.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010年重慶市高一上學(xué)期期中考試英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them，but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.

    Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman (新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.

    One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport．Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications(申請). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.

    What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.

1.According to the text, most students feel ________ when entering the high school.

A. unhappy          B. nervous            C. lonely           D. disappointed

2.Which of the following is TRUE about the school clubs?

A. There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs.

B. The school clubs in high school mainly welcome sports fans.

C. Summer activities begin before school starts.

D. School officers can help new students join school clubs.

3.When do many schools take students to visit their new high school?

A. Before the eighth grade year starts.

B. Right after the high school year starts.

C. At the beginning of the new term in the high school.

D. By the end of the last year in the middle school.
