阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Keeping fish as pets is a popular hobby. Fish take up little room, are inexpensive to feed, and provide an interesting and colorful display in any room.
A tank, or an aquarium (养鱼缸), must be chosen carefully. Many new aquarium owners buy too many fish for their tanks. Fish cannot be crowded. Two fish can live comfortably in each gallon of water, only ten fish can live in a five-gallon tank. Can you see why a goldfish would not live long in a tiny（很小的）, round bowl?
If too many fish are kept together, they will not have enough oxygen (氧气) or room to swim about freely. They will have more diseases. Also, some kinds of fish cannot be kept together. They will fight and may even kill one another. As your interest in fish grows, the number of fish you have may grow, too. Then you may want to invest in another tank.
If you start with a ten-gallon aquarium, what kind of fish would be best? The two major groups of tropical (热带的) fish are those that lay eggs and those that give birth to live young. If you want to raise young fish, guppies (孔雀鱼) would be the best choice because they can produce many babies in a short time.
You can buy fish and aquariums in most pet stores. Ask the owner to help you choose the right fish. You can also find many books about tropical fish in the library.
46. Keeping fish is a good hobby for the following reasons EXCEPT _____.
A. fish are not costly to feed
B. fish are nice to look at
C. fish reproduce babies quickly
D. fish need little space
47. The underlined part “invest in” (in Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _____.
A. buy B. borrow C. make D. sell
48. If nine fish live in three gallons of water, the fish may _____.
A. breathe easily B. swim about freely
C. get ill D. not get enough to eat
49. What can we know from the passage?
A. Very few people are interested in keeping fish.
B. The size of your tank decides how many fish you can buy.
C. Guppies are a kind of fish that are good at laying eggs.
D. You can raise different kinds of fish together.
B
Three high students become heroes after their act of saving a baby’s life.
Andrew Willis, 15, his brother Chris, 13, and friend Reece Galea, 14, were walking along Swallow Drive on their way to school on May 23, when Nicholle Price ran out of her house, shouting for help. Her six-month-old son Corey had swallowed (吞下) an earring （耳环） and the young mother couldn’t ring for help because something was wrong with her phone.
The three teenagers rushed to the aid of Ms Price, called an ambulance (救护车), calmed her down and waited with her until the ambulance arrived before heading to school.
Ms Price, Corey and his grandmother Joyce Finnie visited the school last Thursday to thank the boys for their kind action. “It’s good to know that there are still some good people who will stop and help,” Ms Price said. “While I was shouting for help, a woman walking her dog went straight past, without stopping. I don’t know what would have happened if these boys had not stopped.”
The teenagers were shocked at the attention they received at school for their heroic act but admitted that the incident was nerve-racking(刺激神经的). “We heard her shouting so we knew something wasn’t right,” Andrew said. “We thought someone had died. It was scary （惊慌的） but we just did what we had to do.”
Just as proud as the boys’ parents is their principal, Tim McCallum.
After two days in hospital, Corey has now fully recovered. “He’s got two new teeth to show,” Ms Price said. “I have to keep a closer eye on him. He’s into everything now and grabs whatever he finds to put it straight into his mouth.”
50. The three high students were _____ when a woman ran out of her house shouting for help.
A. playing near the house
B. walking their dogs nearby

51. Ms Price spoke of a woman walking her dog without stopping to show _____.
A. how dangerous the case was
B. how brave the three boys were
C. how clever the three boys were
D. why the three teenagers’ action was heroic
52. The underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph probably means “_____”.
A. they didn’t expect they would be given so much praise
B. they felt excited to have become so famous after the incident
C. they were supposed to receive so many prizes for their good deed
D. they were proud of the attention they received at school for their heroic deed
53. Which would be the best title for this passage?

Culture is very important in deciding whether we look someone in the eye to understand facial (面部的) expressions. For example, in Japan, people often look to the eyes for emotional cues (情感暗示), while Americans often look to the mouth, says researcher Masaki Yuki, a scientist at Hokkaido University in Japan. This could be because the Japanese, when talking with others, try to hide their emotions more than Americans do.
In any case, the eyes are more difficult to control than the mouth, so they probably provide better cues about what a person feels even if he or she is trying to hide it.
As a child growing up in Japan, Yuki was very interested in the pictures of famous Americans.
“Their smiles looked strange to me,” Yuki said. “They opened their mouths too widely, and raised the corners of their mouths in an unusual way.”
Japanese people will shy away from a public show of emotion, and seldom smile with their mouths, Yuki explained, because Japanese culture pays more attention to humbleness (谦卑) and emotional control.
So when Yuki entered an American university and began communicating with Americans by e-mail, he couldn’t understand their use of emoticons (情感符) such as smiley faces :) and sad faces :(.
“It took some time before I finally understood that they were faces,” he wrote in an e-mail. In Japan, emotional signs emphasize (强调) the eyes, such as the happy face (︿_︿) and the sad face (;_;). “After seeing the difference between American and Japanese emoticons, I began to realize that the faces looked exactly like typical American and Japanese smiles,” he said.
58. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. American and Japanese cultures are different.
B. How the Japanese express their feelings.
C. Americans and Japanese read faces differently.
D. Faces are important for our emotions.
59. Which of the following signs is often used by Americans to express their unhappiness?
A. ︿_︿ B. :( C. :) D. ;_;
60. What did Yuki find hard to understand about the pictures of some famous Americans?
A. Their different hair in color.
B. Their funny expressions.
C. The way in which they smiled.
D. The eyes that are full of feelings.
