36、根據(jù)下面內(nèi)容，回答36-55題：
There has been, in history, a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. The man's name is James BaRley. The records to prove his unusual experience are in the British Admiralty.
Bartley was making his first trip on the whaling ship Star of the East. Suddenly the lookout sighted a huge sperm whale. The whalers knew it was a huge whale by the size of the spray it blew into the air.
They lowered their small boats. James Bartley was in the first longboat. The men rowed until they were close to the whale. A harpoon was thrown and it found its mark. It sank into the whale's flesh. The maddened beast crashed into the boat, snapping its tail at the men and the wreckage of their boats.
When the survivors were picked up, James Barttey was missing.
Shortly before sunset, the whale was finally captured. The sailors tied the whale's dead-body to the side of the ship. Because of the hot weather it was important that they cut up the whale right away.
Otherwise, the meat would begin to rot and the oil would begin to spoil. When they got to the stomach,they felt something moving about wildly. They thought it would be a big fish still alive inside. But when they opened the stomach they found James Bartley. After this trip, Bartley settled in England,and never returned to sea.
This passage is mainly about________.
A．how to hunt whales for their oil and meat
B．the hard and dangerous lives that whalers had to live

It takes a long time to grow a tree．How long? Well, pine trees are the quickest growing trees, but still, they take twenty years to reach a size suitable for cutting and harvesting．An oak takes about sixty years to grow to a good size．A redwood may take hundreds of years．Lumber companies, which make their money on trees, depend on those that grow quickly．Therefore, they are always looking for methods to make trees grow faster．So far, the secret to fast growing trees seems to he in " super-seeds．" These are seeds that are gathered from the quickest growing trees in a forest．One company searched 100,000 acres of trees and selected the seeds from just fifteen trees.These two ounces of seed were enough to plant several hundred new trees．Eventually, when these trees have grown, seeds will again be taken only from the fastest growing trees of crop．This process of artificial selection will yield, in the future, a super-tree that will grow in half the time it takes normal trees to develop．Unfortunately, it takes a long time for a plan like this to reach its goal．The Weyerhauser Lumber Corporation, which started its first collection of seed in 1958, is just now beginning to harvest the super-seeds of the first generation of the faster growing trees．
This selection centers on________．
A．the life span of trees
B．the age of redwoods
C．making trees grow quickly
D．cutting trees for lumber
41、 Trees that grow faster are developed by________．
A．planting many trees and fertilizing them

48、根據(jù)下面內(nèi)容，回答48-67題：
Companies that employ illegal immigrants are to be named and shamed in a further attempt to crack down on people smuggling.The move by the Home Office comes four months after officials launched a concerted effort to identify and prosecute companies breaking the law.More than 200 companies have already been fined for hiring illegal labor. The Home Office says names of companies and directors are to be published on the UK Border Agency website. The agency will publish how many illegal immigrants the company was employing and how much it was fined.
By May this year there had been 137 prosecutions under the new rules leading to fines totaling500,000--almost 3,000 per firm.The total number of prosecutions was 10 times more than were carried out in 2007, and double the total for the previous decade.
Immigration chiefs are also switching their focus from small-time illegal employers,such as takeaway restaurants, in an effort to major organized criminal enterprises supplying illegal labor, often relying on international networks to smuggle people into the UK.
Some 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams with police and customs officials in an effort to better target what the Home Office says are illegal working hotspots.
These could include areas of the economy where there is a high demand for labor including agriculture,construction and hospitality.Nobody knows how many people are working without permission in theUK--although estimates put the number of illegal residents at more than 500,000.
Trade Union leaders have also raised concerns about the government's strategy, arguing that it could drive the worst employers further underground, penalizing exceptionally poor workers unable to break out of a situation they did not necessarily choose.
What has happened in the first four months of the campaign to crack down on companies hiring illegal workers?
A．Nothing. The campaign is still in its beginning stage.
B．7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams.
C．200 companies have been fined.
D．3,000 small-time illegal employers have been cracked down.
49、 What steps will officials take to "shame" these companies?
A．They will publish their names as well as the details of the offence online.
B．They will shut down their business.
C．They will inform the police about the illegal hiring.
D．They will give poor workers working permission.
50、 Immigration officials are now focusing on________.
A．small-time illegal employers

D．the government's strategy
51、 Trade Union officials fear that this new campaign (戰(zhàn)役) might end up unjustly penalizing ________, by driving the employers further underground.

C．illegal residents
D．companies

Today, the Indianapolis 500, one of the "world's most famous car races, takes about four hours to run. If the Indy 500 had been held in 1895, it would have taken almost three days. The horseless carriage had just been invented a short time before. Top Speeds back then were much lower than they are today. For most people, just seeing a car move without a horse pulling it was thrilling enough. The driver's main concern was making sure the car didn't break down.
One of the first car races was held in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day in 1895. Folks crowded the streets to gawk at the new machines. The route of the race went through the heart of town. The cars were to go out to a nearby suburb and back. The race covered a distance of about 54 miles. That's less than one-tenth the distance at Indy. The drivers cranked up their engines and prayed that they wouldn't break down. Then they were off. The race proved too much for some of the cars. Perhaps they couldn't withstand the high speeds. The winner of the contest was J. Frank Duryea. He finished the race a bit more than seven hours after he started. He had covered the grueling distance at an average speed of 7.5 miles per hour. That is slower than a modern marathoner can go on foot. Even so, as Duryea finished, the crowd went wild.

A．the Indianapolis 500
B．a(chǎn) new kind of car
