Passage TwoQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.You need to send a text to your mom to tell her your soccer practice is canceled. In an effort not to get caught, you reach very slowly, skillfully and one-handedly into your bag. Drawing your bright purple cellphone from the inside pocket, you are careful not to press any button that will reveal your mission to your teacher, who is talking at the front of the room. With the phone in your lap, you try not to look down as you type: “Soccer canceled! pick@2 thx.”Sent. You put it into your jacket pocket, fearing you will not be able to get it back in your bag without the teacher noticing. But wait… your BFF Lucy’s hair looked ridiculous when you passed her in the hall on your way to the washroom. It would be unthinkable to wait until lunch to tell her. Only a horrible friend would let her walk around with such an embarrassing hairdo! So, you repeat the sneaky process of texting: “Fix ur hair, it’s sticking?!!!!” Now, not only have you missed two whole possibly important minutes of your teacher’s lecture, but your spelling and vocabulary are getting worse and worse.Can you understand the title of this article? Anyone who has ever texted or used instant messaging will be able to. Most teens love to text. Our English teachers, parents, and future employers would prefer we pay attention to our grammar, but in reality most of us don’t. There are times when we have to use proper grammar and times when we don’t. The problem is that the line between when to spellcheck and proofread and when to just type and send is becoming unclear and almost invisible.41.

Passage OneQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. A boat rocks gently in the warm,clear water off the coast of Lizard Island. At night, researchers on board the boat lower into the ocean three large iron traps with raw chicken inside. Video cameras are attached to the traps. The researchers watch and take note of how many nautiluses (鹦鹉螺),attracted to the meat,swim past the traps overnight: In the morning,the team palls the traps back onto the boat. They measure,tag and photograph captured nautiluses before releasing them. Scientist Peter Ward, of the University of Washington, is leading the study, “We need to know how many nautiluses there are,” he said.Why does the number or creatures matter? Information collected around the world by Ward and Other scientists will help to show if the nautilus is threatened and if the animal should be listed as an endangered species.Nautiluses have survived for million years. But some scientists fear that the animals may be in danger of disappearing. Humans have been killing the animal for its unique shell. The inside of the shell is pearl-colored (珍珠色的)and forms a perfect shape. It is used to make decorations and jewelry. A report showed that the annual number of nautilus-shell products was alarmingly high. So Ward came up with a plan to study and count nautiluses. Four more seagoing research trips are expected to take place in the months ahead. There is much to learn. “We’re really at the tip of the iceberg (冰山),”De Angelis,of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, says.36. In order to study nautiluses the scientists have to tempt them with _____________ .A. meat B. cameras C. traps D. rocks37. The first paragraph is used mainly to describe _____________ .A. how researchers feed nautilusesB. what attracts nautiluses to the trapsC. what tools are used to get nautilusesD. how researchers study nautiluses38. Humans capture nautiluses because they _____________ . A. have pearls inside their shells B. are rare and delicious C. are easy to capture D. have very special decorative shells39. The reason why Ward made a plan to study nautiluses is that _________________ .A. there were too many nautiluses killed B. nautiluses had been proved to be threatenedC. nautilus was listed as an endangered speciesD. the number of nautiluses was growing40. What does De Angelis mean by saying “We‘re really at the tip of the iceberg”, in the last paragraph? ______ A. The scientists are confronted with a critical situation.B.
