Where do fish live？

They live ___________ where there is water.

hanked him，he said,‘They are not from me; they only come through me.’

At that moment I noticed the similarity between fish and haiku.

Nowadays, if Mom doesn't ever serve fish for dinner at least the kids get a taste of

haiku at school.

For most of us，our first introduction comes from reading translations from Japanese,

which is a bit like comparing sushi to frozen fish sticks. Even with the knowledge of the

exotic, most poets stick to the meat and potatoes of English literature. It often isn’t until we get older that we accept the simple goodness of fish，adding them to the menu more often.

Having acquired a taste for fish and learned how to cook them, one is better able to

appreciate the short form. of haiku. Like fishing, haiku writing can be done with minimal

equipment. A pin or a pen，and a scrap of paper, is enough，but it is tempting to go all out and buy a rod and reel (even study Zen，visit a monastery or take a trip to Japan).

If one goes in for deep sea fishing,a computer and laser printer are soon on the list of 'must haves'.

Like fishing, to catch haiku you have to go where they are. Unlike fish, haiku are

everywhere. Still，you have to know the secret places where they hide and how to get there.

Wearing old comfortable clothes(usually thought of as a meditative state) we look around

just where we are. It does little good to only read of fishing off the coast of Japan when

sitting beside the lake by our own front door. It does help to know which fish are edible and which are not. There are two ways of finding this out. We can either eat everything we catch and publish what feels right, or we can read books containing others’experiences while making up our minds about what kind of fish to go for.

If we compare spending days on rough seas to fish or strolling on the beach writing

haiku; it is very easy for me to decide where my interest lies. Still I do love a fish dinner and I hope my neighbor enjoys my latest poems.

water depends on where they live. Water gets into a fish's body through osmosis. Take a cell as an example, if there is more water outside of a cell than inside, water will try to flow into the cell until there is the same concentration of water on either side of the cell's membrane. The body of a fish acts the same way, (33) either absorbing or losing water depending on its surroundings.

Whether a fish absorbs or loses water is based on the fact that all fish must maintain a certain amount of salt in their bodies to stay healthy. (34) Fish that live in fresh water have a higher concentration of salt in their bodies than the surrounding water. Consequently, water continuously flows into the fish's body to attempt to dilute the amount of salt in the fish until it is equal to the amount of salt in the surrounding water.

Ocean fish have the opposite problem. Surrounded by salt water, their bodies contain a relatively lower concentration of salt than the ocean water. In this case osmosis causes the fish to constantly lose water in order to equalize salt concentration inside and outside the fish. To partially compensate for the water loss, ocean fish actually drink water through their mouths. And (35) to get rid of the excess salt they take in by drinking seawater, they excrete some salt through cells in their gills.

(30)

A．Water absorbing ability.

B．The cell's membrane.

C．Its surroundings.

D．The ability to maintain salt.

听力原文： Today we are going to talk about a species of fish that is rather unique: Today's lecture is about sea horses, if you've seen a sea horse, you may have noted that it has a horse-like head attached to its body. The sea horse has a long snout that is good for sucking. Instead of scales like most fish, sea horses have skin that is stretched over bony plates. The body extends to a prehensile tail, meaning that the tail can be used to grasp. The sea horse may grasp sea grass or coral to keep it stable in a moving current.

The sea horse has fins on its back that it can use to propel it through the water. However, sea horses aren't very good swimmers. They do not move quickly over great distances. The sea horse also has chest fins that it uses for stabilization. The chest fins help the sea horse float in an upright position.

One particularly unique feature of sea horse is that only the male becomes pregnant. The female inserts ripe eggs into the male' pouch, where they are fertilized. The eggs become embedded in the pouch wall.

What is this lecture mainly about？

A．Usual Species of fish.

B．Characteristics of a unique sea animal.

C．The harvest of fish eggs.

D．Unusual species of horses.

start to move. Some travel thousands of kilometers. For many it is for the first time. All of them have one thing in common: they know where they are going and they make no mistakes.

This is migration. There are many things which help animals to migrate. Birds and other animals have a body clock which tells them about changes in temperature and periods of light. Birds and some insects use their eyes to measure and compare the position of the sun from different place.

Many people now believe magnetism is very important. The earth itself is a magnet and every kind of life is affected in some way by its magnetic, fields.

But there are still many questions without answers, for example, the migration of eels. European eels travel down their rivers and into the Atlantic Ocean. They then swim 5600 kilometers to the Sargasso Sea, where they lay their eggs. The eels then die. The baby eels are carried by the Gulf Stream to Europe, a journey which takes two and a half years. They swim back up the rivers. There they live for about ten years before the return journey to the Atlantic. How do they do this？ We know what happens to the eels but not how or why.

"Migration" in this passage means

A．the seasonal moving of creatures.

B．settling down in a new place.

C．the activity controlled by magnetism.

D．knowing where one is going and making no mistakes.

Today a neighbor brought us some fresh fish he had caught on his last boat trip. As we thanked him, he said, 'They are not from me; they only come through me.'

m one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons; most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from place that are too crowded.

When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fish, which is called " salmon". This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is cold, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move to the seaside and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.

Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾) . Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.

So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don't. Maybe living things just like to travel.

The majority of animals migrate for______.

A．place

B．safety

C．food

D．warmth

听力原文： There are some serious problems in the Biramichi River. The local chamber of commerce, which represents the industry in the area, hired me as a consultant to do a one year study on fishing in the Biramichi River and write a report for them. This is my report:

One of the major problems in the Biramichi River is that the level of oxygen in the water is too low. Several chemicals have displaced the oxygen. This chemical pollution has two sources: the factories which dump polluted water directly into the river and the local community which dumps untreated human wastes into the river. The local town government has already spent 2 million dollars on waste water treatment projects, but it will cost another 27 million to complete the projects. It will take at least 15 years for the town to collect enough revenue from taxes to complete these projects. The factories here employ 17,000 people in an area where there is very little alternative employment. It is not economically practical to close or relocate the factories. Also the factories cannot afford to finance chemical treatment plants by themselves. Another problem is that the members of the Biramichi fishing cooperative are overfishing. Fishes are caught when they are on the way upstream to lay eggs. Consequently, not enough fish are left to reproduce in large number. The members of cooperative say that they had already reduced their annual catch by 50 percent. However, my studies indicate that they took fewer fish because there were fewer fish to catch, not because they were trying to preserve fishes.

Q. 15. What was the speaker assigned to do in the past year？

Q. 16.What is one of the problems in the Biramichi River？

Q. 17.What does the passage tell us about the factories along the river？

Q. 18.Why was the annual catch of fish in the Biramichi River reduced according to the speaker？

(35)

A．To study the problems of local industries.

B．To find ways to treat human wastes.

C．To investigate the annual catch of fish in the Biramichi River.

D．To conduct a study on fishing in the Biramichi River.
