It is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.
—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.
Don’t’ use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.
—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (魚(yú)鱗) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.
—Remove your hook (魚(yú)鉤) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.
—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water . Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.
—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.
With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.

Runners in a relay(接力) race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.
The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of citied and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B, C, to about A, D, 1300, when sea travel offered new routes(路線(xiàn)) , It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.
The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft(嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.
The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy(外交), and religion (宗教)
【小題1】It’s probable that traders along the Silk Road needed .
| A.to remember the entire trade route | B.to know the making of products |
| C.to receive certain special training | D.to deal with a lot of difficulties |
| A.it was made up of different routes | B.silk trading became less popular |
| C.sea travel provided easier routes | D.people needed fewer foreign goods |
| A.learned from one another | B.shared each other’s beliefs |
| C.traded goods along the route | D.earned their living by traveling |
| A.The Silk Road ; Past and Present | B.The Silk Road; East Meets West |
| C.The Silk Road; Routes Full of Dangers | D.The Silk Road; Pathways for Learning |

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(風(fēng)格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地標(biāo)) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A new Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
【小題1】When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.
| A.describe the place carefully | B.show him a map of the place |
| C.tell him the names of the streets | D.refer to recognizable buildings and places |
| A.New York. | B.Los Angeles. | C.Kansas. | D.Iowa. |
| A.in order to save time | B.Los Angeles. |
| C.so as to be polite | D.for fun |
| A.It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences. |
| B.It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly. |
| C.People have similar understandings of politeness. |
| D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors. |

Despite the fact that it has never been seen almost everyone is familiar with the legendary
unicorn(獨(dú)角獸). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn--- the so-called Indian Ass and the Oryx, a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their special sign. Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn.
According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious
as it has a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers, in order to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree.
When hollowed out and used as a drinking-cup, the unicorn’s horn was said to have the power to offer protection against person. It was believed that nobody could be harmed-by drinking the contents of a unicorn’s horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court was said to have used cups made of “unicorn” horn in order to protect the king. In addition, the horn was said to have medicinal value, so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight of gold. What, then, was “unicorn” horn? We know at times the rhino(犀牛) was confused with this legendary creature. A drinking-cup supposedly made of “unicorn” horn was discovered to be made of the horn of a rhino.
【小題1】Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn?
| A.It was not historically recorded | B.Its horn was first used in France |
| C.It was similar to the Indian Ass and the Oryx | D.It could be the symbol of a university |
| A.tempting the unicorn to attack | B.making use of the tree as a protection |
| C.hiding quickly behind the unicorn | D.having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree |
| A.the properties of the unicorn horn | B.the users of the unicorn horn |
| C.the price of the unicorn horn | |
| D.the comparison between the unicorn horn and the rhino horn |
| A.the cup is designed only for a royal family |
| B.the unicorn does not exist in reality |
| C.the unicorn is the rarest animal in the world |
| D.the medicinal value of the horn is appreciated |

The Queen’s English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queen’s Christmas broadcasts had found. Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.
Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.
He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year.”
“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been hears saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’.”
The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch. (傳統(tǒng)火雞午餐).
The results were published (發(fā)表) in the Journal of Phonetics.
【小題1】The Queen’s broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because ______.
| A.she has been Queen for many years | B.she has a less upper-class accent now |
| C.her speeches are familiar to many people | D.her speeches have been recorded for 50 years |
| A.“duaty” | B.“citee” | C.“hame” | D.“l(fā)orst” |
| A.speech sounds | B.Christmas customs | C.TV broadcasting | D.personal messages |
| A.The relationship between accents and social classes. |
| B.The Queen’s Christmas speeches on TV. |
| C.The changes in a person’s accent. |
| D.The recent development of the English language. |

Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habitsdied hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ----obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Sine places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(馬來(lái)語(yǔ)). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
【小題1】We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.
| A.the government is usually the first to name a place |
| B.many places tend to have more than one name |
| C.a(chǎn) ceremony will be held when a place is named |
| D.people prefer the place names given by the government |
| A.Change suddenly. | B.Change significantly. |
| C.Disappear mysteriously. | D.Disappear very slowly. |
| A.Raffles Place. | B.Selector Airbase. |
| C.Piccadilly Circus. | D.Paya Lebar Crescent. |
| A.a(chǎn)fter a person | B.a(chǎn)fter a place | C.a(chǎn)fter an activity | D.by its shape |
| A.Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain. |
| B.Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes. |
| C.The way Singaporeans name their places is unique. |
| D.Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers. |

With your workload growing, you may be telling yourself a vacation is one luxury you can’t afford. 【小題1】 A vacation allows you the opportunity to recharge your physical and motional batteries, disconnect from everyday concerns, and return to work rested and refreshed. Some facts have proved employees are more productive after a vacation than before one. Here are some tips for you to plan your vacation to make sure that your time away from the office is worry free.
Time is right. A Robert Half survey shows that July and August are the most favorable months for employees to take a break because these months offer ideal beach weather and many businesses slow down during this time. 【小題2】 For instance, if a big task is planned for the summer, you may consider postponing your trip until the fall.
Ask others for assistance. 【小題3】 Your supervisor can help you determine who is the most qualified for a particular task.
Let your contacts know. Give colleagues and customers you frequently work with a few weeks’ notice before you start off. 【小題4】
Conduct a technical review. Before you leave, make sure there is plenty of room in your e-mail inbox so you don’t exceed (超越) your storage limit while you’re out of the office, which might prevent you from sending messages when you return. 【小題5】
In short, taking vacation is necessary and beneficial for your job. But you must plan your vacation properly in order to work free and worry free on holiday.
| A.Ask trusted colleagues to handle your projects while you’re away. |
| B.A summertime beach vacation includes so much more than what you desire these days. |
| C.But the truth is that you can’t afford not to take one. |

“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out of the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔調(diào))with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
【小題1】How does the author understand Maxie’s word?
| A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author. |
| B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day. |
| C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy. |
| D.Maxie really worries about the author’s security. |
| A.The salesgirl is rude. |
| B.The salesgirl is bored. |
| C.The salesgirl cares about me. |
| D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine. |
| A.sincerely | B.a(chǎn)s thanks | C.a(chǎn)s a habit | D.encouragingly |
| A.Have a Nice Day---- a Social Custom |
| B.Have a Nice Day----- a pleasant Gesture |
| C.Have a Nice Day----- a heart-warming Greeting |
| D.Have a Nice Day----- a polite ending of a Conversation |
