The largest shark known to us， Megalodon， is extinct. Or is it? Carcharodon Megalodon， commonly known as Megalodon， is believed to have lived between 1 million and 5 million years ago and thought to have been 52 feet long. It is (or was) a shark that had a jaw 7 or more feet wide. Fairly recently， there has been some speculation about whether it is extinct or just out of reach. But few people believe that Megalodon has found a home deep in the ocean. There are many known ”Living Fossils“： Coelacanth， Sea Cucumbers， Sea Urchins， Lobsters， Sea Stars. The common ones like lobsters and sea urchins are not really looked on as anything amazing. They’ve been around for thousands of years or more， and are easily accessible to us. What if they weren‘t accessible and yet still existed? We would label them extinct. The discovery of a live Coelacanth， a fish long believed extinct， challenged some scientists’ long-held beliefs on extinction. There have been recent discoveries of incredibly large squid， and deep-sea fish never before seen by scientists. In the 1960s the U.S. Navy set up underwater microphones around the world to track Soviet submarines. The network， known as the Sound Surveillance System， still lies deep below the ocean‘s surface in a layer of water known as the ”deep sound channel“。 The temperature and pressure of the channel allow sound waves to travel undisturbed. NOAA’s Acoustic Monitoring Project has been using the Sound Surveillance System to listen for changes in ocean structure like ocean currents or volcanic activity. Most of the sounds recorded are common and of no concern. One sound， identified in 1977 by U.S. Navy ”spy“ sensors， was odd. It was obviously a marine animal but the call was more powerful than any of the calls made by any other reported sea creature. It was too big for a whale. Could it be a deep-sea monster? One possibility was a giant squid， but no one is sure. It was named ”Bloop“。 Could it be Megalodon? If Megalodon is still alive down in the bottom of the ocean， we may some day soon discover it. Then what? Deep sea diving will never be the same， that‘s for sure! 62. The following is commonly known EXCEPT ________. [A] Megalodon， the largest shark， is extinct [B] Megalodon is not extinct but just out of reach [C] Megalodon was 52 feet long and had a jaw 7 or more feet wide [D] Megalodon lived between several million years ago. 63.

[B] The discovery of the fossils of lobsters. [D] The discovery of the fossils of sea urchins. 64. What was special in their recorded sounds? [A] To listen for changes in ocean structure. [B] To listen for changes of ocean currents or volcanic activity. [C] To Make sure whether there was a giant squid deep in the ocean. [D] To follow the track of the Soviet warships under water. 65. What was special in their recorded sounds? [A] A strange， powerful animal sound was heard. [C] A sea monster’s sound was heard. [B] A big whale‘s sound was heard. [D] A giant squid’s sound was heard. 66. What can be concluded from the passage? [A] Scientists‘ discoveries always change peop le’s belief. [B] There are too many secrets to be discovered. [C] Megalodon may be still alive deep in the ocean. [D] ”Deep sound channel“ allows sound waves to travel undisturbed. 2. There are people in Italy who can’t stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. 『Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens.』① They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies “the hit”.    By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.    On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, closeups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.     Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. 『But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position.』② Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.”    The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses.  1. The passage is mainly concerned with .   A. the different tastes of people for sports  　　B. the different characteristics of sports    C. the attraction of football                   　D. the attraction of baseball  　　 2. Those who don’t like baseball may complain that .  　　 A. it is only to the taste of the old     　　    B. it involves fewer players than football  　　 C. it is not exciting enough                  　　D. it is pretentious and looks funny  3. The author admits that .      　　 A. baseball is too peaceful for the young   　　B. baseball may seem boring when watched on TV    C. football is more attracting than baseball    D. baseball is more interesting than football    4. By stating “I could have had my eyes closed. ” the author means (4th paragraph last sentence):      　                                             　 A. The third baseman would rather sleep than play the game.    　　 B. Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no different to the result.       　 C. The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well.  D. The consequent was too bad he could not bear to see it.  5. We can safely conclude that the author. A. likes football      B. hates football   　　C. hates baseball        D. likes baseball  3. While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states—at least in getting people off welfare. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994. In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens Country have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past tow years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent—twice the national average. For advocates (代言人) for the poor, that’s an indication much more needs to be done. “More people are getting jobs, but it’s not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington. A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down. But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory. “Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin (毒素) that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. “The reform in changing the moral climate in low-income communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic (道德观), which is much more important.” Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards. 26. From the passage, it can be seen that the author ________. A) believes the reform has reduced the government’s burden B) insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poor C) is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reform D) considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful 27. Why aren’t people enjoying better lives when they have jobs? A) Because many families are divorced. B) Because government aid is now rare. C) Because their wages are low. D) Because the cost of living is rising. 28. What is worth noting from the example of Athens County is that ________. A) greater efforts should be made to improve people’s living standards B) 70 percent of the people there have been employed for two years C) 50 percent of the population no longer relies on welfare D) the living standards of most people are going down 29. From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at ________. A) saving welfare funds B) rebuilding the work ethic C) providing mor
