A
Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule: Keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back. The idea behind it is simple —the larger fish are probably older. If you keep the smaller ones, they won’t be able to reproduce, and the fish population is in danger.
But fishing out the largest fish from a population has an unwanted effect: Over time, fewer adult fish get really big. If only the smaller fish reproduce（繁殖）, then future generations become smaller. This is an example of evolution（进化）in action.
One scientist, Dr. David Conover, has spent the last decade studying the effects of the “keep the big ones” rule and if they can be reversed（颠倒）.
To set up his experiment, Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups. For two groups, Conover followed the “keep the large ones” rule and took out the biggest fish.
For two other groups, he removed only the small fish. For the last two groups, he removed fish at random (随意的).
After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average(平均) fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. Here was evolution in action: If only small fish survive(生存) to reproduce, then future generations of fish will also tend(倾向) to be small.
For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly(随意) from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the large ones” group for the first five years had started to get larger again, although he calculated(计算) it would take at least
12 years for the fish in that group to return to their original(原始的) size.
In other words it takes less time to shrink(变小) than it does to recover(恢复).
26. The underlined word “it” (Line 2) refers to “_____”
A. the activity
B. the fish
C. the rule
D. the fisherman
27. Why do many people follow the “keep the big ones, throw the small ones back” rule
A. It helps to protect fish numbers.
B. It helps to protect fish size.
C. It is the custom in most countries.
D. They will be punished if they don’t.
28. What did Conover find after the first five years of his experiment
A. The “keep the big ones” rule made no difference to fish size.
B. The “keep the big ones” rule made fish smaller on average.
C. The “keep the big ones” rule made the fish bigger on average.
D. The “keep the big ones” rule affected all fish populations in the same way.
29. What can we find according to the experiment
A. If small fish reproduce, the future generations will be smaller.
B. There was no largest fish in “keep the large ones” group for the first five years.
C. it would take 10 years for the fish to return to their original size.
D. It takes less time to become bigger than it does to recover
30. What is the author’s intention(目的) in writing this article
A. To encourage people to fish more carefully.
B. To urge governments to change the rules of fishing.
C. To describe the results of a scientific experiment.

A
Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule: Keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back. The idea behind it is simple —the larger fish are probably older. If you keep the smaller ones, they won’t be able to reproduce, and the fish population is in danger.
But fishing out the largest fish from a population has an unwanted effect: Over time, fewer adult fish get really big. If only the smaller fish reproduce（繁殖）, then future generations become smaller. This is an example of evolution（进化）in action.
One scientist, Dr. David Conover, has spent the last decade studying the effects of the “keep the big ones” rule and if they can be reversed（颠倒）.
To set up his experiment, Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups. For two groups, Conover followed the “keep the large ones” rule and took out the biggest fish.
For two other groups, he removed only the small fish. For the last two groups, he removed fish at random (随意的).
After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average(平均) fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. Here was evolution in action: If only small fish survive(生存) to reproduce, then future generations of fish will also tend(倾向) to be small.
For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly(随意) from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the large ones” group for the first five years had started to get larger again, although he calculated(计算) it would take at least
12 years for the fish in that group to return to their original(原始的) size.
In other words, it takes less time to shrink(变小) than it does to recover(恢复).
26. The underlined word “it” (Line 2) refers to “_____”
A. the activity
B. the fish
C. the rule
D the fisherman
27. Why do many people follow the “keep the big ones, throw the small ones back” rule
A. It helps to protect fish numbers.
B. It helps to protect fish size.
C. It is the custom in most countries.
D. They will be punished if they don’t.
28 What did Conover find after the first five years of his experiment
A. The “keep the big ones” rule made no difference to fish size.
B. The “keep the big ones” rule made fish smaller on average.
C. The “keep the big ones” rule made the fish bigger on average.
D. The “keep the big ones” rule affected all fish populations in the same way.
29. What can we find according to the experiment
A. If small fish reproduce, the future generations will be smaller.
B. There was no largest fish in “keep the large ones” group for the first five years.
C. it would take 10 years for the fish to return to their original size.
D. It takes less time to become bigger than it does to recover
30. What is the author’s intention(目的) in writing this article
A. To encourage people to fish more carefully.
B. To urge governments to change the rules of fishing.
C. To describe the results of a scientific experiment.
D. To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家大卫·科诺弗博士通过实验的方式验证“抓大放小”的钓鱼规则是否可以被颠覆，以有利于鱼类数量的稳定。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“every fisherman knows the rule: Keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back.”可知，每个喜欢钓鱼的人都知道这样一条规则：留下大的，放生小的，此处是解释这条规则背后的想法——大鱼只可能变得更老，如果你留下较小的鱼，它们就不能繁殖，鱼类数量将处于危险之中，由此可知画线词指的就是前面提到的那条规则，故C项正确。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The idea behind it is simple —the larger fish are probably older. If you keep the smaller ones, they won’t be able to reproduce, and the fish population is in danger.”可知，钓鱼中的“抓大放小”规则背后的想法很简单——大鱼只可能变得更老，如果你留下较小的鱼，它们就不能繁殖，鱼类数量将处于危险之中，由此可知，人们遵循这条规则是为了保护鱼类的数量，故A项正确。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“After five years, he measured the fish in each group.

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average(平均) fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups.”（在定期移除最大鱼的两组中，鱼的平均大小小于其他组的平均大小）可知，在实验的头五年里，在“抓大放小”的那一组中没有鱼长得特别大，故B项正确。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“every fisherman knows the rule: Keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back.”（每个喜欢钓鱼的人都知道“抓大放小”规则）及第三段“One scientist, Dr. David Conover, has spent the last decade studying the effects of the “keep the big ones” rule and if they can be reversed.”（科学家大卫·科诺弗博士，在过去的十年里，一直在研究“抓大放小”规则的效果，以及它们是否可以被颠覆）可知，本文主要介绍的是大卫·科诺弗博士通过实验的方式验证“抓大放小”的钓鱼规则是否可以被颠覆，文章的目的就是描述这一科学实验的结果，故C项正确。

【答案】My first experience in English corner
It was a beautiful Monday. Our teacher told us that there would be an English corner after class. I set off after the last class in the afternoon.
To my joy, the English corner had just been on for a few minutes. I joined them in their talk. At first, I was afraid that my English was so poor and limited that I couldn't follow them or make myself understood. I was also afraid that someone might laugh at me but a smiling face here and an encouraging nod there soon put me at ease. I became brave and came to speak English with them freely.
It was an unforgettable day. We all learned a lot of knowledge and made a lot of friends. Through practice, we all improved our English. Though we spoke only in simple English, we all hold the belief that tomorrow we will make great progress.
