一、阅读理解（本大题共11小题，共28.0分）
A
Help Hermit Crabs Hermit crabs are nature's recyclers． They eat waste and help keep oceans and shores clean． Unlike other crabs， the hermit crab has a thin outer shell over its soft tail． This makes the hermit crab easy prey for hungry predators （天敌）． Hermit crabs stay safe by living in old seashells． A hermit crab is picky （狡猾）； it tries on many shells until it finds one that fits just right． In recent years， however， many hermit crabs have had trouble finding their perfect homes． What is the problems There are not enough shells to go around! One reason for the seashell shortage is that ocean water is not as clean as it once was． This has caused chemical changes to sea water． Some sea animals， like snails， are affected by these changes． Now there are fewer snails making shells． People visiting the beach often take shells home as souvenirs （纪念品）． This is another problem． Other people even take shells for their own pet hermit crabs! They do not realize that hermit crabs in the wild need those shells too． Now people are working to solve this hermit crab housing shortage． They are teaching beach-Boers to leave seashells where they belong--at the seashore! Some people even make fake seashells that they hope the hermit crabs will like． For example， a group called Project Shelter invited people who visited their website to create different designs for hermit crab shells． These designers had a lot to consider． What kind of material should be used to build a seashells． The material must be light enough for the hermit crab to carry， but strong enough to protect the crab from predators． The man-made shells could not contain glue or any other substance （物质） that might harm a hermit crab． Another challenge with building a hermit crab home was the opening to the shell． Too big would mean the crab would not feel safe． Too small would be uncomfortable， and the crab would not want to move in． The Project Shelter shells are placed in the wild for hermit crabs to find． Lucky hermit crabs can move into these new dream homes．
Where can hermit crabs stay safe？ ______
A. In different old seashells．B. Behind the waste they'll eat．C. In their own thin outer shells．D. Under the stones at the seashore．

Benito Juarez， a poor Indian boy， was twelve years old when he left his village home in December 1818． Benito walked forty-one miles to the city of Oaxaca， high in the mountains of Mexico． When he heard the Spanish spoken by the city people， Benito didn't know what they were saying． First， Benito became a servant for a wealthy gentleman， Serer Maza． Soon， he went to work for Antonio Salanueva， a church （教会） librarian． Antonio repaired and copied the library books， keeping them in good shape． Benito became his helper and his housekeeper． Antonio loved to teach． Benito soon became his student as well as his servant． With the help of Antonio， Benito learned to speak， read， and write Spanish． At that time in Mexico， many people believed that Indians were not smart enough to read or learn． Antonio knew that was not true． Indians had been prevented from learning by a lack of schools． The first Spanish missionaries （传教士） who came to Mexico had educated the native people． In fact， churches from Spain had built the first college on the North American continent （大陆） for the Indians． As more Spanish came to Mexico， however， the Indian children were crowded out of the schools． Benito was a good and bright student， so Antonio developed a plan for him． In1821， when Benito was fifteen， Antonio decided to enroll him in a school for boys． Antonio taught Benito what he needed to pass the entrance test for the school． Benito became a student at the college． His studies were difficult， and he was teased because he was the only Indian student there． He succeeded in spite of these challenges． Later， as the laws changed， Benito was able to attend a public college with other Indians． Benito Juarez continued his education and became a lawyer and， much later， the President of Mexico from 1861 to 1872． He led the Mexican people to victory over the French， who tried to rule Mexico， and fought for the rights of Indians． He is one of the great heroes in Mexican history．

Fishy Weather Conditions Laj amanu， Australia， is a dry little town， sitting right on the edge of the Tanami desert． Can you imagines How surprised were people when live fish rained down on them from a dark gray cloudy． It happens that there are similar cases in England and Honduras． How do clouds make fishy． The simple answer is that they don't． There is a particular weather phenomenon （现象） called a waterspout． A waterspout is just like a tornado， only it forms above oceans， lakes， or rivers． Like a tornado， a waterspout moves in a circle at high speeds． When it moves above the water， it tends to carry the fish with it， as well as frogs or other small plants or animals． Scientists couldn't work it out at first． To make matters stranger still， the fish in Honduras were very much alive when they rained down to the ground， but they were all blind． In England and Australia， it rained fish and snakes， and none were blind． It was difficult to puzzle out， but the blind fish gave them a place to start． Scientists knew that some fish that lived in deep， underground caves with no light sources often lost their eyesight． So when blind fish rained down on Honduras， scientists began to connect some dots． Clearly， these particular fish were pulled from an underground water source by force． It has rained fish on every continent， and each time， people have tried in various ways to explain this strange phenomenon． Historically， villagers thought the "fishes from the heavens" might be answers to prayers for food． Others suggested that floods overran river banks and oceans， leaving the fish on the city streets． No scientist had actually seen the rain as it occurred， only the fish left on the ground． But in 1990， a National Geographic team happened to be in Honduras when the Rain of Fishes began． They recorded what was happening and made history by finally proving that the fish really did fall from the sky． This huge breakthrough wasn't just a spot of good luck． It changed thousands of years of myths and legends into true stories and provided scientific explanations for how fish came to live in deep caves． It explained ancient cave paintings and shed new light on how species have spread over time． It turned out to be a lot more than just a little fishy weather．
According to the passage， a waterspout ______ ．
A. can make animals blind B. is difficult to catch on filmC. can carry items with it D. is a dangerous sea creature
The blind fish made the scientists start to think that ______ ．
A. raining fish was a warning of natural disastersB. animals changed to match their environmentsC. the weather system differed from place to placeD. the waterspout theory seemed more possible
From Para． 5 and 6， we can learn ______ ．
A. how species in the area changed over timeB. the importance of finding the truth behind the eventC. that the discovery cleared up many different scientific theoriesD. how the understanding of waterspouts affected other areas of science
The underlined sentence in last Para． probably suggests that ______ ．
A. waterspouts came to be a center of scientific researchB. the scientists were fortunate to have made their discoveriesC. hard work went into determining the cause for the raining fishD. the scientists relied heavily on unusual events to drive their studies
The author writes the passage to ______ ．
A. describe the magic phenomenonB. explain what caused the fishy weatherC. persuade people to protect the environmentD. encourage people to do scientific research
