    New Zealand fishermen caught what may prove to be a world-record-breaking colossal squid (巨大的鱿鱼).

        In the cold, dark waters of the Antarctic hides a creature with eight arms, two super long tentacles (触须) and eyes as big as dinner plates. Sound like something out of a science fiction movie? Think again.

        On February 21, New Zealand fishermen landed a colossal squid the length of a school bus. They had been fishing with long lines for Chilean sea bass (黑鲈) in the waters off the coast of New Zealand when they caught the rare squid. With two hours of hard work, the crew skillfully pulled the creature into a net and dragged it aboard their ship.

        Scientists estimate (估计) that the animal weighs about a half ton and is about 40 feet long. That would make this colossal squid the biggest on record.

        First identified in 1925 after two tentacles were found in a whale’s stomach, the colossal squid has long been a mystery. The animals are not easy to observe because they can go down to ocean depths of 6,500 feet. What scientists do know from studying the bodies of a half dozen colossal squids is that they are fierce hunters.

        The recently captured colossal squid has been frozen to keep it for scientific study. It will be transported to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, in the capital city of Wellington. Experts believe it to be the first adult male ever caught undamaged. Scientists hope to learn more about the colossal squid’s diet, behavior and reproductive (繁殖) patterns.

        “Scientists will be very interested in this amazing creature,” said New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton. “It adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment.”

    38. Why is it usually difficult for experts to observe the squid?

     A. Because it moves too fast.                               B. Because it is too large.

     C. Because it is very dangerous.                           D. Because it can go down to deep ocean.

    39. What’s the purpose of catching such a huge squid?

     A. To make it into food.                                        B. To set a world record.

     C. To do research on it.                                       D. To display it for visitors.

    40. Which of the following is TRUE about the possible record-breaking colossal squid?

     A. It lives in the cold, dark waters of the Arctic.

     B. Its tentacles were found in a whale’s stomach.

     C. It is a fierce hunter according to the scientific study.

     D. It is believed to be the first adult male ever caught.

    41. What would be the best title for the passage?

     A. the biggest squid ever found                             B. scientific research on squid

     C. the lifestyle of the colossal squid                       D. how the fishermen caught the squid

    Professional adventurer Mike Horn never met a challenge he didn’t welcome. In fact according to Horn, “The impossible exists only until we find a way to make it possible.”
    As a child in Johannesburg, South Africa, Horn excelled at sports and loved adventure. But it wasn’t until he moved to Switzerland in 1990 that his life of adventure really began.
    Horn had always loved sports and taking risks, and he was known for his crazy feats. He traveled in the South American Andes Mountains in the early 90s and then in 1997 crossed the entire continent on foot. He finished by floating 7,000 km down the Amazon River!
    In 1999, H      orn began a solo trip around the world following the equator,without the use of any motor-powered transportation. When he finished successfully 17 months later, he became the first person to accomplish the feat.
    Horn’biggest challenge to date came in 2006. He and a fellow adventurer walked from Russia to the North Pole in the sunless winter. Traveling through the winter darkness, he encountered polar bears and many other dangers.
    In 2008, Horn began another unique adventure –one that will take four years to complete. Instead of trying to achieve more personal goals, Horn is now dedicated to sharing his knowledge and experience with others.
    He calls his latest expedition the “Pangaea Expedition.”with “Pangaea” standing for “a Pan Global Adventure for Environmental Action.”By the end of this expedition, Horn will have traveled 100,000 km and crossed all of the continents and oceans. But this time he won’t be going alone: He’s choosing young people from around the world, aged 13 to 20, to accompany him. Twelve young men at a time will participate in one of 12 different projects, ranging from studying glaciers to treating water sources.
    The journey will take place onboard Horn’s 35-meter saiboat , the Pangaea which will become a floating science class . Along with a team of scientists, Horn plans to teach the young explorers about protecting and preserving the earth.
    In perhaps his most important expedition, Horn will pass down his passion for Earth’s wonders to the next generation.
    64.Which of the following is NOT ture?
    A. He met with polar bears and many dangers in 2006 when Horn walked to the North Pole with another adventurer.
    B. He loved sports, Earth’s wonders and taking risks.
    C. It took Horn 17 months to complete his solo trip around the world without any Motor-powered transportation.
    D. He really began his life of adventure in te 1990s.
    65. The underlined sentence probably means____________.
    A. He was afraid of challengers                          B. He never met challengers
    C.He didn’t welcome challengers                       D. He was willing to meet challengers
    66. In his latest “Pangaea Expedition”, Horn__________.
    A. will have covered 100,000km and crossed only all the continents
    B. will choose young men to take part in the 12 different projects
    C. will be going around the world by himself
    D. intends to teach the young men how to make expeditions
    67. What is the best title for the passage?
    A. Mike Horn-an adventurer with a cause           B. The Pangaea Expedition
    C. How Mike Horn makes expeditions.               D. How to make expeditions.

    　　　B.he published more than 100 papers on water management

    　　　B.It helps people do successful business.
    　　　C.It helps us make use of water scientifically.
    　　　D.It tells us how much water we use a day.
    　　67.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
