听力原文: Some desert animals can survive the very strong summer heat and dryness because they have very unusual characteristics. The camel, for example, can bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9℃. In addition, it can drink an enormous amount of water at one time, then store sufficient water in its red blood cells and other parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. However, most animals need to maintain a fairly constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some ways to avoid the strong sun rays. Nor can many animal either store or produce water in their bodies as the camel can. So they must find ways to reduce water loss from their bodies to the lowest degree.
Because very few desert animals can survive the high rays and the temperature, most of them are active during the night. Only after the sun has set does the desert come fully of life. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides protection, not only from the sun but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the signal for the large majority of animals and insects to continue their search of water and food, when morning comes, most of them seek shelter again; many go underground; nearly all find somewhere shady and they can avoid the sun rays there.
What is the best title of the passage?
A.Desert Animal.
B.Camel, An Unusual Animal.
C.A Typical Summer Day and Night of Desert.
D.The Importance of Water on Desert.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I'd like to join them, thinking," Everyone else is doing it."
When I got home that night, I told my father what I wanted to do. "You give an honest day's work," he said, looking at me straight in my eyes. "They are paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."
I followed my father's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all my jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that struck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with the people who steals. If one of my players was caught stealing, he’d be gone.
Whether you are on a sports team. in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another, there's going to be trouble.
What can be inferred about the baggage boys?
A.They could earn much, but they must work hard.
B.Many of them earned their money in a dishonest way.
C.They were all from poor families.
D.They were all thin, young boys.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices, factories or schools every day by train or by bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and {arrive; get to; go} home later in the evening.
One benefit of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London {without; with; near} a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the {city; place; country} with a garden of his own.
Then, in the country one can be free {out of; from; without} the noise and hurry of the town. Although one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or bused, one can sleep better at night, and, during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh clean air of the country. If one likes gardening, one can spend one's spare time digging, planting, watering and doing a lot of other jobs which are needed in the garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of a person who has shared the secrets of {working; nature; gardening} .

听力原文:M: Did you watch" Undersea Discovery" last night?
W: No, I missed it. Did you?
M: Yeah. It was pretty good--it was about barnacles.
W: Hmm.
M: You know how they stick themselves to stuff in the ocean-like rocks or boats?
W: Uh-huh.
M: Well, they do that when they're young, and then they stay in the same place forever.
W: It figures. Have you ever tried removing one of those things? Last summer I tried to scrape some off a pier—I had to give up after a while. You'd think they wouldn't be able to stick like that underwater.
M: Yeah. These biomedical researchers were talking about its possible uses. Orthopedists could use it for mending broken bones; or it could be used in dentistry.
W: I wish I'd seen that.

A.The reproductive cycle of barnacles.
B.A new source of protein.
C.Types of sea animals.

M: That's one. reason scientists are-trying to figure out what their glue's made of. It's one of the strongest adhesive in nature, and it's a natural protein, so it probably wouldn't be harmful like some synthetic glues.
