26、hey all worked three jobs to survive.BNed wanted to escape from the Nautilus while we were in the Mediterranean. However, he had no chance. The submarine raced into the Atlantic in two days mostly staying deep under the water. I saw many shipwrecks along the way. Some were very old. Others were more
27、 recent. As it surfaced, the submarine turned north.Ned came to my room. “Tonight!” he said. “Tonight?” I wasnt ready for this. “Tonight,” he repeated, “we are a few miles off the Spanish coast. It will be dark, and the wind is blowing in the right direction. You agreed, Dr. Aronnax, to escape with
28、me. Remember your promise!” I said nothing. “At nine, I will go to the staircase with Conseil. You will wait in the library for our signal. Everything is ready.” “The sea is quite rough.” I said.“Yes, but if we dont go tonight, we will soon be too far from land!”As I waited for Neds signal, the Naut
29、iluss engines stopped. I felt a bump as the submarine came to rest on the ocean floor.The library door opened and Captain Nemo entered. He took me to the window. I found the crew of the Nautilus were gathering some gold from the sand and bringing it to the submarine. Now I knew how the Captain becam
30、e so rich. “But of what use is all this gold to you?” I asked. “Its of no use to me!” he replied, “but it can help people who are suffering.”Ned came to my room the next morning. “We were unlucky, the Nautilus stopped just as we were about to escape.”I told him what I had learned about Nemo and the
31、gold. I hoped that Ned would change his mind, but he didnt. The Nautilus was going away from the land. Escape was impossible now.

32、right according to the passage?A. Ned Land didnt want to escape any more.B. Dr. Aronnax didnt want to escape that night. C. They failed to escape because of the wind direction.D.

34、d to escape that nightB. how Dr. Aronnax would change his mindC. where Captain Nemo would carry the gold D. what would happen during the night walkCHonesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals cant talk, but can they lie in other ways? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they
35、 do agree that many animals, from birds to 第 5 页 共 8 页chimpanzees(黑猩猩), behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird calledthe plover sometimes pretends(假装) to be hurt in order
36、 to protect its young. When a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, hides its food so it alw
37、ays has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others hide their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, dig the food, and hide it again somewhere else.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fig
38、ht, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too.When chimps find food that they love, s
39、uch as bananas,it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying “You cant fool Mother Nature.“

A. getting closer to its young B. driving away the adult predator C. leaving its young in another nest D. pretending to be injured 39.By “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky“, the writer means _.A. chi

43、 animals survive?DLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the population of the world was hunter-gatherers, small, closely connected groups developed their own speech different from each other. Some langua
44、ge experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent cen
45、turies, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few years, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly takin
46、g over.第 6 页 共 8 页At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution(分布) of these languages is hugely unbalanced. The general rule is that warm, pleasant areas have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet areas have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Eu
47、rope has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone has well over 800. The median number (中位数 ) of speakers is only 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. For example, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United State
