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 l00-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．”60．We can conclude from the study that ．A．The fish in small rivers are more likely to fight than those in larger ones．B．If you keep fish in tanks of less than 10 gallons，you‟ll be put into prison．C．People haven‟t paid enough attention to the feeling of fish in smaller tanks．D．The fish in the wild are more aggressive than those kept in tanks．61．How was the first experiment performed?A．By putting more and more fish in the same tank．B．By putting fish in tanks of different sizes．C．By putting some food to test the behavior of fish．D．By putting fish in a tank with plants and rocks．62．The two experiments prove that ．A．food competition results in the aggressive behavior of fishB．fish become more aggressive as more fish are put into a tankC．crowding is the main cause of the aggressive behavior of fishD．fish become less aggressive when placed in a 100-gallon tank63．The best title for this passage might be ．A．Animals‟Right to Live at EaseB．Picture of Relaxation Only if You‟re Not InsideC．How to Keep Tropical Fish as PetsD．How to Deal with Fish‟s Aggressive BehaviorCWomen Who Beat the Boys!64．The underlined phrase was “tied with”means“”．A．was busy with B．was fastened toC．had the same score with D．was left behind65．Bassham was awarded the gold medal because ．A．he beat Murdock in the tie-breaking shoot-offB．Murdock was forbidden to attend the competitionC．the competition was one for men onlyD．he scored one more“100s”than Murdock66．Seana Hogan succeeded in the following events EXCEPT ．A．100-mile eventsB．RAAM six timesC．the San Francisco to Los Angeles raceD．the 1995 Furnace Creek 508DChris Willis，47，tipped the scales at 27st(约172公斤)following a lifetime of fry-ups，takeaways and pork pies．The painter and decorator had to take long pauses just to climb the stairsor walk a few yards．But overweight Chris turned to dieting when realizing he was too fat to play with his ten-year-old daughter，Sophie，who had a passion for running．The determined dad cut out all the fatty foods and began exercising．He now weighs 16st(约105公斤)after losing 1．5st every month since July．Chris，living in Cambridgeshire with his wife Jackie，a coach driver，said，“The hardest thing was seeing my girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy．But now I‟m making up for lost time——we do so much together and it‟s great．A few months ago when I started getting active again，I remember chasing my daughter around the garden．When she suddenly turned around with an amazed look on her face and said，…Daddy，I didn‟t know you could run．”‟Delighted Sophie said．“I‟m so proud of my dad．It‟s brilliant to run around with him．” Chris used to tuck into an incredible 5，000 calories a day before he switched to a healthy lifestyle．He said，“At l3，I weighed l8．5st(约118公斤)and a teacher pointed this out to the whole school．From then on，I was picked on and bullied(欺负)．My weight went up and up．But I now have a new found freedom．My family and friends have been so supportive．In fact it‟s them that I did it for．The whole journey has been amazing and I‟m still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight．”67．What caused Chris to make up his mind to lose weight?A．His daughter and wife asked him to．B．His private doctor required him to．C．He felt terrible and unhealthy himself．D．He was too fat to play with his daughter．68．Chris Willis has lost since July．A．27st B．16st C．11st D．15st69．Sophie took pride in her father because her father ．A．lost weight for her and her mother B．was able to have fun with herC．took shorter time to climb the stairs D．began to eat less in amount70．Chris began to gain weight when ．A．he turned painter and decorator B．his wife became a coach driverC．he was in his teens as a student D．he cut out unhealthy fatty foods第二节(共5小题；每小题2分。
