    What looks like an angry old man and lives at the bottom of the ocean? It’s the world’s ugliest animal---the blobfish(水滴鱼).

    Its strange skin is shaped by its habitat. It lives 800 meters below the ocean’s surface, a depth where very few other creatures can survive.

    Most fishes have a swim bladder(鱼鳔), which is filled with gas and helps them stay afloat. At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldn’t be able to serve its purpose.

    The blobfish don’t have a swim bladder because their skin works the same way. It helps them stay afloat without having to use any energy.

    The blobfish have a pretty relaxed attitude towards eating. All they do is stay and wait for crabs or lobsters to come by.

    Since the blobfish like to eat crabs and lobsters, they often get caught in nets that are used to catch lobsters or crabs and end up dying or being killed. They are not suitable for eating so they are useless for fishermen.

    There’s a purpose behind the blobfish’s new title; it has become the new mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, an organization whose purpose is to preserve endangered ugly animals.

    “We’ve needed an ugly face for endangered ugly animals for a long time and I’ve been amazed by the public reaction,” said the Society’s Simon Watt. “For too long cute animals have taken the limelight(风头) but now the blobfish will be a voice for those who always get forgotten.”They hope this new face will help the world know that we need to help preserve the populations of ugly animals too.

    1.The biggest difference between the blobfish and most other fishes is that the blobfish_____ .

    A. cannot be eaten by people

    B. don’t have a swim bladder

    C. only live at high sea levels

    D. aren’t active in catching food

    2.What makes the blobfish stay afloat?

    A. Their skin. B. Their tail.

    C. Their mouth. D. Their swim bladder.

    3.We can learn from what Simon Watt said that _____ .

    A. most ugly animals are in danger

    B. the population of the blobfish is increasing

    C. the blobfish have attracted the public’s attention

    D. people knew nothing about the blobfish in the past

    4.What is the purpose of the passage?

    A. To discuss the importance of preserving animals.

    B. To give the reason for starting an organization.

    C. To present the results of a survey.

    D. To introduce a special animal.

    While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol related danger: drunken pedestrians(行人).

    Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated(喝醉的) more frequently and with higher blood alcohol levels than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 which by law in most states signifies intoxication compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.

    Some types of pedestrain accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.

    “We’re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem,” said Richard Blomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon.

    Blomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB) in Washington in January.

    Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified（迷惑不解） about how to prevent disasters.

    1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Traffic Safety.

    B. Drunken Drivers.

    C. Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.

    D. A Severe Highway Safety Problem.

    2.Among the causes of walkers’ accidents, the most serious problem is ________.

    A. long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets ignoring traffic rules

    B. the alcohol level in their blood which is too high.

    C. a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidents

    D. former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time

    3.According to recent federal data, drunken drivers with an over 0.10 blood alcohol level in deadly accidents ____.

    A. are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level

    B. are 2500 a year in US traffic accidents

    C. are at least 7000 in US traffic accidents

    D. make up one seventh of highway accidents

    4.According to the passage, what is Blomberg?

    A. A researcher.

    B. A specialist in traffic safety.

    C. A clerk of a consulting company.

    D. A government official

    It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can' t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.

    Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.

    Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he op­erated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain' s tempera­ture was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

    1.The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______.

    A. the time is too short for doctors

    B. the patients are often too nervous

    C. the damage is extremely hard to fix

    D. the blood-cooling machine might break down

    2.The brain operation was made possible mainly by _______.

    A. taking the blood out of the brain

    B. trying the operation on monkeys first

    C. having the blood go through a machine

    D. lowering the brain' s temperature

    3.With Dr. White' s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______.

    A. can last as long as 30 minutes

    B. can keep the brain' s blood warm

    C. can keep the patient' s brain healthy

    D. can help monkeys do different jobs

    4.What is the right order of the steps in the operation?

    a. send the cooled blood back to the brain

    b. stop the blood to the brain

    c. have the blood cooled down

    d. operate on the brain

    A. a,b,c,d B. c,a,b,d

    C. c, b, d, a D. b, c, d, a
