阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A question often put to specialists on fishes is "How long do fishes live?" Specialists find it difficult to give an exact answer though it seems to be a very simple question. Actually this question is not so simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they are different from one another in size and life-span (寿命). Moreover (此外), 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 size, but we cannot say how much longer it would have lived if we had not caught it.
We may feed fishes and record their life-span, but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived if they had been left alone.
We may make markings to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate (计算) 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-span.
Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity (成年). They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in grown-up fishes.
(1) What specialists feel difficult to know is ________.
[ ]
A. the age of fishes
B. the size of fishes
C. the life-span of the fishes he feeds
D. the life-span of fishes living freely
(2) We may know a fish's age by studying __________.
[ ]
A. how heavy it is
B. how big it is
C. its rate of growth
D. the position it lives
(3) Which of the following is true?
[ ]
A. The heavier a fish is, the older it is.
B. If we let a fish alone, we can hardly know its life-span.
C. Old as a fish is, it will keep growing fast before its death.
D. When a man is old, he will grow much more slowly than an old fish.
(4) Which of the following is not true?
[ ]
A. If we feed a fish from its birth to its death, we correctly record its life-span.
B. A fish's weight has nothing to do with its life-span.
C. Human beings stop growing when they have grown up.
D. Specialists can know how fast a fish grows, but they do not know how long it will live.
(5) Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?
[ ]
A. How Long Do Fishes Live?
B. Easy or Difficult?
C. The Difference Between Human Beings and Fishes.
D. Specialists and Fishes.

阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项。
Everyone has their friends, but I knew one girl who didn't. I guess you could call her a geek, because all she did was reading, studying, and doing homework. I don't think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people who no one really paid attention to, and
those who did only made fun of her. I had heard all kinds of rumors (谣言) that she had problems, but I didn't really believe them. I felt bad for her.
My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said "Hi" to her, but she wasn't our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued being kind to her. She was normal as far as I was concerned (就我而言). She was just really quiet.
That summer I got a letter. When I opened it, I realized it was from her. “I just wanted to thank you so much for being so extremely kind and friendly to me this year. Before you
became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I even wanted to kill myself. But you and your friends changed that. You made me feel wanted and included. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and switching to another school next year. I'll never forget you and what you did."
By the time I finished the letter, I was in shock. I could not believe what I had just read. I learned that the simplest things and the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.
56. What kind of person does the underlined word "geek" in Para1 probably refer to?
A. A confident and hardworking student.
B. A dishonest and badly behaved person.
C. Someone is not popular and does strange things
D. Someone is naughty and always makes fun of others.
57. How did the girl feel before the author became her friend？
A. Happy and comfortable. B. Pleased and confident.
C. Worried and surprised. D. Sad and lonely.
58. From the passage, we learn that the author and her friends ______.
A. helped get the girl out of trouble B. got the girl to go to another school
C. changed the girl’s the habit of working hard D. didn't want to help the girl at all
59. What's the best title for the passage？
A. A Strange Girl B. A Quiet Heart
C. A Girl without Any Problems D. Just the littlest Things
