There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total population of 123,000. The three largest islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney, have long been known for the fine breeds(品种)of cattle that are raised on them and named after them. 　　In earliest known history the islands were considered part of Normandy, which was part of France, but the ruler of Normandy became king of England in 1066, and from then on the islands were looked upon as British land. English control was unbroken until World War II, when the Germans held the islands for five years. 　　Although people on the islands speak both languages and they are considered English, their customs are more French than English.51. Which of the following maps gives the right position of the Channel Islands? 　　Br = Britain 　　 　　Fr = France 　　　　Ch = Channel Islands 52. Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney breeds of cattle are __________. 　　A. considered best in England 　　B. named after their birthplaces 　　C. brought to the islands by the Germans 　　D. raised on well-known farms by the French 53. The Channel Islands have been continuously under British rule since　　　　__________. 　　A. earliest known history　　B. 1066 　　C. 1930s 　　D. the end of World War II 54. Why do people on the Channel Islands follow French way of living? 　　A. Their islands used to be part of France. 　　B. Their islands are often visited by the French. 　　C. They came from France. 　　D. They speak French. 　B　　James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name. 　　“J.C.” ,he replied. 　　She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name. 　　Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later. 　　A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book. 　　The stage was set for Owens' victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic（体育的）but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners. 　　“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.” 　　Having returned from Berlin. He received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.　　Owens' Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs. 　　“Sure, it bothered（烦扰）me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.” 　　In time, however, his gold medals(奖牌)changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.” 55. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when __________. 　　A. he went to Ohio State University 　　B. his teacher made fun of him 　　C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse” 　　D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet 56. In the Big Ten meet, Owens __________. 　　A. hurt himself in the back 　　B. succeeded in setting many records 　　C. tried every sports event but failed 　　D. had to give up some events 57. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at 　　that time because __________. 　　A. he was not of the right race 　　B. he was the son of a poor farmer 　　C. he didn't shake hands with Hitler 　　D. he didn't talk to the US president on the phone 58. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means that the medals __________. 　　A. have been changed for money to help him live on 　　B. have made him famous in the US 　　C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life 　　D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs 59. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? 　　A. Jesse Owens, a Great American Athlete 　　B. Golden Moment — a Life-time Struggle 　　C. Making a Living as a Sportsman 　　D. How to Be a Successful Athlete? C 　McGill Comedy ClubImportant meeting today.Discussions on putting onBlazing Saddles.Union room302, 3-4 pm.

They're quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths. 　As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate(碳酸钙).By looking through a microscope(显微镜)and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish's age, just like the growth rings of a tree. 　Ring counting is nothin
