【题目】What looks like an angry old man and lives at the bottom of the ocean? It’s the world’s ugliest animal---the blobfish(水滴鱼).
Its strange skin is shaped by its habitat. It lives 800 meters below the ocean’s surface, a depth where very few other creatures can survive.
Most fishes have a swim bladder(鱼鳔), which is filled with gas and helps them stay afloat. At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldn’t be able to serve its purpose.
The blobfish don’t have a swim bladder because their skin works the same way. It helps them stay afloat without having to use any energy.
The blobfish have a pretty relaxed attitude towards eating. All they do is stay and wait for crabs or lobsters to come by.
Since the blobfish like to eat crabs and lobsters, they often get caught in nets that are used to catch lobsters or crabs and end up dying or being killed. They are not suitable for eating so they are useless for fishermen.
There’s a purpose behind the blobfish’s new title; it has become the new mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, an organization whose purpose is to preserve endangered ugly animals.
“We’ve needed an ugly face for endangered ugly animals for a long time and I’ve been amazed by the public reaction,” said the Society’s Simon Watt. “For too long cute animals have taken the limelight(风头) but now the blobfish will be a voice for those who always get forgotten.”They hope this new face will help the world know that we need to help preserve the populations of ugly animals too.
【1】The biggest difference between the blobfish and most other fishes is that the blobfish_____ .
A. cannot be eaten by people
B. don’t have a swim bladder
C. only live at high sea levels
D. aren’t active in catching food
【2】What makes the blobfish stay afloat?
A. Their skin. B. Their tail.
C. Their mouth. D. Their swim bladder.
【3】We can learn from what Simon Watt said that _____ .
A. most ugly animals are in danger
B. the population of the blobfish is increasing
C. the blobfish have attracted the public’s attention
D. people knew nothing about the blobfish in the past
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To discuss the importance of preserving animals.
B. To give the reason for starting an organization.
C. To present the results of a survey.
D. To introduce a special animal.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】A
【3】C
【4】D
【解析】试题分析:文章主要介绍了世界上最丑的动物——水滴鱼。以及动物保护协会把它列为新的吉祥物,目的是让人们保护濒危的丑陋动物。
【1】B 细节理解题。由第三段At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldn’t be able to serve its purpose.可知,由于水滴鱼生活在海底800米处,水压大,特殊的环境使得它们没有鱼鳔。故选B。
【2】A 细节理解题。由第四段第一句The blobfish don’t have a swim bladder because their skin works the same way.可知,水滴鱼的皮肤的工作方式和绝大多数鱼的鱼鳔的工作方式相同。故选A。
【3】C 推理判断题。由倒数第二段Simon Watt说的话可知,水滴鱼作为长得丑的濒危物种,会让全世界人注意到它们,并保护它们免于灭绝。故选C。
【4】D 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了世界上最丑的动物——水滴鱼。以及动物保护协会把它列为新的吉祥物,目的是让人们保护濒危的丑陋动物。故选D。

Nowadays more and more people are going abroad on holiday, some of whom even goes on holiday two or three times a year. In my opinion, there are two type of holidaymakers. The first kind always goes to seaside resorts. Their only aim is to have good time sunbathing. They spend their days on the sunshine and their evenings in getting drunk, and then slept soundly. This kind of traveler just needs to pack a pair of sunglasses together with everything that he needs it. The others kind of holiday maker goes to other countries to increasing knowledge of foreign lands. They make use of the chance to take photos, so a good camera is absolute essential. For them, going on holiday is educational. This kind of traveler will move from place to place every few days, enjoying the local food and get a proper feel of a place.
