Tropical fish hobbyists will tell you their tanks are a source of relaxation,but recent research suggests the fish might disagree.
Many American households contain a fish tank,whose average size is less than 10 gallons.Yet a study comparing the behavior of common freshwater fish found that those kept in such small tanks were more aggressive than those in larger ones and were more likely to fight.
“If people kept dogs in these conditions,they'd be put in prison,” said the author,Ronald Oldfield.“In larger tanks,the fish were not in continuous eyesight of each other.They were swimming around,checking everything out rather than beating each other,” he added.“It's something we should think about.”
The study consisted of two experiments.In one,Dr.Oldfield tested the effects of overcrowding by keeping tank size constant (不變) while increasing the number of fish.In the other,he tested environment by placing three fish in tanks of different sizes.He then recorded their behavior at least two hours after feeding,to eliminate (排除)competitive behaviors related to food.While aggression seemed to remain constant regardless of the number of fish in a tank,it dropped off considerably once the fish were placed in a 100-gallon tank with several plants and rocks to form shelters.
The findings confirmed what he found when observing Midas in the wild.“If you go out and observe these fish swimming in a river,” he said,“they're not aggressive at all,really.” This conclusion is not news to Justin Muir,the owner of a fish tank business.“More volume of water is always better.It keeps the fish healthier,and the tank is more stable.”
【語篇解讀】 本文敘述了熱帶魚的生活習(xí)性。當(dāng)它們的生活空間越小時,它們的侵略性就越強(qiáng);反之,如果生活空間越大,侵略性越小。

During times of trouble, Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke from a small room without a fireplace in the White House basement to millions of Americans. In his calm and conversational manner, he reassured(使……恢復(fù)信心)the nation in the depths of the Great Depression(大蕭條)and through a World War.
Saul Bellow described his own experience of listening to President Roosevelt, hold the nation together, using only a radio and the power of his personality.
“I can recall walking eastward on the Chicago Midway… drivers had pulled over, parking bumper to bumper, and turned on their radios to hear Roosevelt. They had rolled down the windows and opened the car doors. Everywhere the same voice, its odd Eastern accent, which in anyone else would have angered Midwesterners. You could follow without missing a single word as you walked by. You felt joined to these unknown drivers, men and women…”
The nation needed the assurance of those Fireside Chats, the first of which was delivered on March 12, 1933. Between a quarter and a third of the work force was unemployed. Every bank in America had been closed for at least eight days. It’s hard for us to imagine. It was the hardest time of the Great Depression.
The “Fireside” was symbolic(象征性的; most of the chats came from a small room in the White House basement. Frances Perkins, Roosevelt’s Secretary of Labor, described the change that would come over him just before the broadcasts: “His face would smile and light up as though he were actually sitting on the front porch(門廊) or in the parlor with them. People felt this, and came to respect and love him.”
In that first radio visit, Roosevelt began by explaining how the banking system worked: “When you put money in a bank, the bank does not place the money into a safe—deposit vault(金庫房. It invests your money in many different forms of credit—bonds, mortgages.” He went on to announce that the banks would reopen the next day.

B. encourage spirited discussion among listeners
C. request people to desire for hope and reassurance

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
One of the major problems in our economy is inflation, a situation in which prices are going up faster than wages. Thus, a person has to work more hours to pay for the same thing.
For example, let’s say that this year a loaf of bread costs $1.00 and the average salary in the United States is $10.00 per hour. That means a person could earn enough money to buy a loaf of bread in one-tenth of an hour, or six minutes, Then, halfway through the year, The price of bread goes up to $1.25, while wages stay the same. That means that a person how has to work one-eighth of an hour, or seven and a half minutes to buy the same loaf of bread.
Now let’s say that at the end of the year, wages go up to$11.00 per hour, but the price of bread goes up to $1.50. Now a person has to work more than one-seventh of an hour, over eight minutes to but the same loaf of bread. As you can see, if more and more work time is spent earning money to buy loaves of bread, employees will have less money left over to buy other things Inflation means that the same money buys fewer things and everybody’s standard of living goes down, even if salaries are going up.
Some kinds of inflation are worse than others, Moderate inflation does not distort(扭曲)relative prices or incomes seriously, Galloping inflation happens rapidly, say at a rate of 100 percent or more within a year. And then there is hyperinflation-inflation so serious that people try to get rid of their currency before prices rise further and make the money worthless. Times of hyperinflation are usually characterized by social and political disorder.
1.The passage mainly wants to .
A.list major economic problems B.discuss something about inflation
C.explain why bread prices increase D.state the types of inflation
2.Why is“a loaf of bread”repeatedly mentioned?
A.To express dissatisfaction with the price of bread.
B.To show the effect of price changes.
C.To compare bread with other food.
D.To explain social and political disorder.
3.What happens when prices go up but salaries remain the same?
A.The government will do more about the economy.
B.Workers might lose their jobs of they show dissatisfaction.
C.People will save money rather than spend it.
D.People must work longer to buy the same things.
4.Which of the followings belongs to the type of moderate inflation?
A.People try to get rid of their currency.
B.Inflation occurs at rate of 100 percent in a year
C.Incomes and relative prices rise slightly.

請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。
English has become the world's number one language in the 20th century. In every country where English is not the native language, especially in the Third World, people must strive to learn it to the best of their abilities, if they want to participate fully in the development of their countries. But many people are concerned that English's dominance (優(yōu)勢地位) will destroy native languages.
A close examination reveals (顯示) a great number of languages have fallen casualty to English. For example, it has wiped out Hawaiian, Welsh, Scotch Gaelic, Irish, native American languages, and many others. Luckily, some of these languages are now being revived (復(fù)蘇), such as Hawaiian and Welsh, and these languages will live again, hopefully, if dedicated people continue their work of reviving them. In the case of Welsh, its revival is so successful that the language is now being used as a medium of insturction in schools and universities in Wales.
Many leaders of these Third World countries are obsessed with (被迷住) English and for them English is everything. They seem to believe that if the students speak English, they are already knowledgeable. These leaders speak and write English much better than their national languages. If these leaders deliver speeches anywhere in the world they use English and they feel more at home with it and proud of their ability as well. The citizens of their countries do not understand their leaders' speeches because they are made in a foreign language.
All the greatest countries of the world are great because they constantly use their own languages in all national development activities, including education. From a psychological point of view, those who are taught in their own language from the start will develop better selfconfidence and self-reliance. From a linguistic point of view, the best brains can only be produced if students are educated in their own language from the start. Those who are taught in a foreign language from the start will tend to be imitators and lack self-confidence. They will tend to rely on foreign consultants.
There is nothing wrong, however, in learning a foreign language at advanced levels of education. But the best thing to do is to have a good education in one's native language first, then go abroad to have a university education in a foreign language.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is probably _________.
A. to stress the position of English
B. to appeal the protection of native languages
C. to show the importance of grasping English for employees
D. to demonstrate ( 闡述) English is the world’s number one language
答案解析:答案為B。本題為主旨題。雖是對第一段的大意提問,但實則是對全文的中心進(jìn)行定位??忌_定第一段的主題句 (topic sentence).是第一句話 “English has become the world's number one language in the 20th century.” 還是該段的最后一句話 “But many people are concerned that English's dominance will destroy native languages.”?即作者關(guān)注的問題是英語還是本國語言?略讀后文可知,由于更多的國家講英語,很多其他語言已經(jīng)消失, 然而也有一些語言在復(fù)蘇,同時也談到了母語對國家和個人的作用。因此,本文的重心是關(guān)注本國語言。故答案為B。
2. The revival of Hawaiian and Welsh shows any language will live if it ________.
A. is against foreign language B. is used as a medium in education
C. is taught in schools D. is done by dedicated people
答案解析:答案為D。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。從第二段 “...and these languages will live again, hopefully, if dedicated people continue their work of reviving them.” 可知,答案為D。
3. The underlined expression in paragraph three probably refers to _________
A. they are sure to use English better with their families
B. they use English better in their countries than in foreign countries
C. their native language is poorer than their English
D. they are not afraid that critical audience find their errors
答案解析:答案為B。 本題為句意推斷題。理解該句需要結(jié)合上下文。由劃線部分的前一句話 “These leaders speak and write English much better than their national languages.”可知,這些領(lǐng)導(dǎo)用英語講話和寫作比用本國語言要好,因此可以推斷,他們用英語發(fā)表演講的時候,會感覺運(yùn)用自如. 故答案為B。 本題的混淆選項C選項 “他們的本國語言比英語要差”強(qiáng)調(diào)的是本國語言,而劃線部分強(qiáng)調(diào)的是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的英語運(yùn)用能力。
4. In the opinion of the writer, which statement below is NOT true?
A. A native language has great effect on the development of a nation.
B. The earlier a person learns a foreign language, the greater his ability will be.
C. Learning a foreign language should be arranged in a later time.
D. The native language will greatly influence one’s life.
答案解析:答案為B。本題為推斷題。從倒數(shù)第二段首句 “All the greatest countries of the world are great because they constantly use their own languages in all national development activities, including education.”可知,所有偉大的國家之所以偉大是因為他們在發(fā)展國家的時候使用了本國語言,故答案A正確。從倒數(shù)第二段后部分內(nèi)容可知,從心理學(xué)的角度講,一開始就學(xué)習(xí)母語的人會更自信,更獨立;從語言學(xué)的角度講,大腦只有在最開始學(xué)母語的情況下才能發(fā)展最好;而一開始就學(xué)外語的人會變成模仿者并缺乏自信??梢酝茢啵髡哒J(rèn)為母語對人的生活有影響,外語學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)該安排在后面,而不是越早學(xué)外語,一個人的能力就越強(qiáng)。故C、D正確,B錯誤。
