　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago.He studied the observations of comets (彗星) which other scientists had made.The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem.He could not figure it out.Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.

　　However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician.Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it.He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (椭圆)．

　　Now Halley set to work.He figured out (解决；计算出) the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists.He made a surprising discovery.The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit.Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.

　　This seemed very strange to Halley.The different comets followed the same orbit.The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought.He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times.The comet had gone away and had come back again.

　　It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction (预言) of what comet would happen in the future.He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758.There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky.Halley did not see it, for he has died some years before.Ever since then that comet has been called Halley's comet, in his honor.

　　1．Halley made his discovery ________.

　　A．by doing experiments

　　B．by means of his own careful observation

　　C．by using the work of other scientists

　　D．by chance

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。由文中第三段得知。

　　2．Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year ________.

　　A．1704

　　B．1705

　　C．1706

　　D．1707

　　解析：选B。计算题。文中的“He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758.There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.”这句话告诉我们：他预言彗星出现的时间是1758年，而这个预言还要经过53年才能验证，由此可以推断出哈雷做出这个预言的时间是1705年。

　　3．This passage in general is about ________.

　　A．Halley and other scientists

　　B．the orbit of a comet

　　C．Newton and Halley

　　D．Halley and his discovery

　　解析：选D。主旨大意题。纵观全文，不难看出，文章的中心就是哈雷以及他的发现。

　　4．Which of the following is TRUE?

　　A．Edmund Halley was an American scientist.

　　B．Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.

　　C．Newton was a famous mathematician.

　　D．The orbit of a comet had the shape of an around.

　　解析：选C。综合判断题。从文章首句可以看出A项错误；从第二题的分析中可知B项也错误；牛顿告诉哈雷彗星的轨道是椭圆形的，可排除D。

　　B

　　Do you enjoy watching beautiful sunsets and seeing wildlife in some of the best parts of Wisconsin? Do you like being around people who share the same respect and love for natural resources? If you say “yes”， then a fisheries biologist is a great career choice for you.

　　As you can probably guess, education is very important.A Bachelor of Science degree in fisheries or biology is strongly recommended.Many biologists have a Master's degree.But it's not only good education that prepares you for a career as a fisheries biologist — field experience is also important.Volunteer work, internships (实习) and short­term fish technician positions are good ways to gain valuable training that can give you an edge in the competitive job market.

　　In addition to good education and field experience, a fisheries biologist needs other skills.You'll spend a lot of time working with the public, so it's important to feel comfortable talking to a variety of people.Good communication, listening, and presentation (陈述) skills are a must.

　　A common misconception among many people is that fisheries biologists get to fish all the time.Most biologists wish that were true.But as a fisheries biologist, you are especially busy during the fishing season, which leaves little time for you to actually go fishing.It's sad, but true.

　　Each day brings something different in the life of a fisheries biologist.In the spring and fall, you spend a lot of time on the water shocking fish in order to sample the population, studying fish, and talking with people.The winter is spent analyzing (分析) fish data and communicating with the public.

　　So if you find fish interesting and fun to learn about, and like working both outside and inside, consider a career as a fisheries biologist.You'll never be bored!

　　5．We can infer this passage was written to ________.

　　A．advise us to respect and protect wildlife

　　B．encourage us to spend more time working outside

　　C．explain why education is important for our career

　　D．introduce a good career to those who are interested in wildlife

　　解析：选D。作者意图题。通读全文，可知作者主要向我们介绍了常在户外作业的渔业生物学家这个职业，故选D。

　　6．To be a good fisheries biologist, which of the following is NOT necessary?

　　A．You should be good at communicating with others.

　　B．You should have rich knowledge of biology.

　　C．You should have field experience.

　　D．You should be a good swimmer.

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。通读全文，可知作者提到了要想成为一个渔业生物学家，必须有渔业学或者生物学学士学位，必须有实地工作的经验，必须擅长沟通，但并没有说要擅长游泳，故选D。

　　7．The underlined word “misconception” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”．

　　A．question

　　B．misunderstanding

　　C．dream

　　D．explanation

　　解析：选B。词义猜测题。根据后面的“Most biologists wish that were true ...”可知很多人认为渔业生物学家可以经常钓鱼的观念是错误的，故选B。

　　8．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

　　A．fisheries biologists like working in winter most

　　B．fisheries biologists can easily get bored of their work

　　C．fisheries biologists get to fish all the time all year round

　　D．fisheries biologists spend a lot of time working outside in spring and fall

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“In the spring and fall, you spend a lot of time on the water ...”可推断渔业生物学家在春天和秋天有很多户外工作的时间。

　　Ⅳ.短文改错
