Some unwelcome visitors from North America have been turning up in the waters off the coast of Great Britain。

North American lobsters (龙虾) have been found in the North Sea (between Great Britain and Northwest Europe), far from their own habitat. The lobsters usually live along the eastern coast of Canada and the United States.
It is impossible that the lobsters could have made the 5,600-kilometre journey on their own. They were probably brought to Britain and then got away from containers. Some of the lobsters that were caught had elastic bands (松紧带) holding their legs shut, like lobsters that are kept in containers in stores or restaurants.
Many may have been “set free” from some ships passing through the area. Sometimes passengers order a live lobster from a tank in the dining room and then ask the waiter to throw it overboard instead of cooking it.
According to official records, 26 North American lobsters have been caught in waters off Great Britain since 1988. However, it is believed many more have been found but not reported.
It is against the law to let North American lobsters come into British waters. If they settle down in European waters, it would be bad for the local lobsters. The two live in t he same place and eat the same food. But North American lobsters are larger, stronger and more aggressive (好斗的) than European
lobsters, and they produce young more quickly.
As a result, they could take food and space away from the local lobsters, and from other types of shellfish that live in the same area. These lobsters may also carry diseases that could harm the local lobsters.
39. Those unwelcome lobsters _____.
A. could travel 5,600 km a day on their own
B. used to live in waters off Great Britain
C. would soon disappear in British waters
D. might have escaped on the way to Britain
40. What can we learn about European lobsters?
A. They are growing too fast to be kept under control.
B. Shellfish often take away their food and space.
C. They are easily harmed by North American lobsters.
D. People become ill easily if they eat these lobsters.
41. The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to _____.
A. discuss
B. report
C. advertise
D. introduce
C
One day, a college student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day's work.
The student turned to the professor, saying, “ Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and hid e ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them”．“My young friend，” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselv es at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselve s and watch how the discovery affects him.”
The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. After he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face. He fixed his e yes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put
the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, and the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save from dying.
The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tea rs.“Now，” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick？”
The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.”
42. The student wanted to play the poor man a trick to ________.
A. find the truth
B. show his wisdom
C. amuse himself
D. teach him a lesson
43. After finding the two coins, the man felt ________.
A. helpless
B. interested
C. peaceful
D. thankful
44. We can know from the passage th at the professor is ________.
A. wise
B. rich
C. humorous
D. serious
45.What does the story intend to tell us?
A. A small act of kindness brings great joy.
B. God helps those who help themselves.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. Actions speak louder than words.

Food safety is a problem in all places around the world and people in different areas of the world prepare foods in different ways. The WHO released (发布) five simple rules for preparing food in a safe way. They call these rules the “Five Keys to Safer Food”.
Key 1: Keep clean
46 People should wash their hands often —before touching food and while they are preparing food. People should wash all surfaces and equipment used for preparing food.
Key 2: Separate raw (生的) and cooked
Raw foods should not touch prepared foods. 47
Key 3: 48
People should cook eggs and meat especially carefully. These foods may carry more micro-organisms (微生物) than other foods. Food like soup must be boiled for at least a minute to make it be cooked completely. It is also important that people re-heat cooked food completely.
Key 4: Keep food at safe temperatures
When people are finished with eating, they should keep the left food in a refrigerator below 5℃ and shouldn’t stor e it for too long. At room temperature, about 20℃, the amount of micro-organisms can increase very quickly. But temperatures above 60℃ or below 5℃ control the growth of micro-organisms. 49 Key 5: Use safe water and raw materials
50 Damaged or old food may develop harmful chemicals as it gets older.
A. Eat healthily.
B. Cook completely.
C. They can live where we make food.
D. This key tells about the importance of washing.
E. People should use safe water and choose fresh foods.
F. They cannot grow as quickly in a very hot or very cold environment.
G. People should use separate equipment and tools for touching and preparing raw
foods.
