24、

Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks(攻击)suggests that sharks don't like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive after receiving only one bite(咬). Why is this?

There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious. We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet, the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.

Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones (骨头). It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can't pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that's why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!

Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for seals. An example of this is when a shark attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.

Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.

【1】What does “curious” in the second paragraph mean in Chinese?

A.害怕的 B.好奇的 C.兴奋的

【2】How do sharks find out an unusual object according to the passage?

【4】Which sentence about sharks is TRUE?

A.Sharks pull meat off bones when they eat.

B.Sharks might mistake humans for seals.

C.Sharks like to attack surfers because of their thick fat.

【5】What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To tell surfers to stay away from sharks.

B.To ask people to stop killing sharks.

C.To let us know the reasons for shark attacks on people.

28、   Have you seen the Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes? Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were so popular that Holmes soon b【1】"the most famous detective in the world." What do you need to be a good detective? The movie Sherlock Holmes will show you.

In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood. Together with his best friend Dr. Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood's plan to c 【2】 the world with black  "magic".

Most of us are not as intelligent as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our  own. All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.

Rule No. 1: Justice（正义）is the most important.

No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. In the movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very intelligent. The d 【3】is that Lord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice.

Rule No. 2: Have sharp eyes.

Every bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. A good detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmes can simply look at a man's footprints and q 【4】ind out his personal information like age and  habits.

Rule No. 3: A good a 【5】is a great help.

Even though Holmes has knowledge about many s 【6】, such as chemistry, botany（植物学）and anatomy（解剖学）, he still needs Dr. Watson's help to solve mysteries. You should also have someone to help you, especially if you don't know as much as Holmes.

Rule No. 4: Logic（逻辑）is the key.

A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together, you'd better think carefully. If you can't work it out, don't be a 【7】. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.
