Ben Southall, from Britain, got the world’s best job, as an island caretaker on Hamilton Island, Queensland, Australia. Towards the end of his six-month contract, he had an incident. Please read his blog issued on Dec. 29, 2009 to find out more about the incident.
Now I’ve spent nearly six months here in Queensland and so far I thought I’d done particularly well at avoiding any contact with any of the dangerous critters that consider this part of the world their home. I’ve avoided being boxed by a kangaroo, nibbled by a shark and bitten by a spider or a snake—but then in my final few days on Hamilton Island I seemed to be punished by a little creature known as an Irukandji.
Irukandji jellyfish are tiny and extremely poisonous jellyfish that are in the tropical waters of the Queensland coast between early October and May, and which cause symptoms collectively known as Irukandji syndrome(綜合癥). Its size is roughly no larger than a fingernail of an adult’s little finger.
I was enjoying a post Christmas jetski session with some friends at a quiet beach on Hamilton Island. As I climbed off the back of the ski and onto the beach I felt a small bee-like sting on my forearm. I didn’t think too much of it at the time at it disappeared very quickly and left the beach to head to a sports massage appointment I had. As I arrived I noticed that my feet and hands were tingling(刺痛) slightly. The member of staff immediately suggested that I get the symptoms checked out and within minutes had the security there to escort(陪同) me to the doctor’s room, only a few hundred metres away.
I was feeling pretty hot and sweaty, had a headache and felt pretty sick too, together with pain in my lower back and a tightness in the chest and really high blood pressure all classic symptoms of Irukandji syndrome! This was not what I’d wanted at all and had caught me a little off guard to say the least--I’m supposed to be relaxing in my last few days on Hamilton Island.
The doctor knew instantly what it was and straight away started the course of treatment to get me on the mend. I had a couple of injections which immediately took away the uncomfortable pain I was feeling and I slipped into a comfortable sleep after an hour or so, waking to say hello to a couple of friends who came to see if I was OK! Bre was there the entire time tending to me like a little Florence Nightingale!
Once I’d recovered sufficiently I was discharged that evening and allowed to go home to sleep the effects off and only really knew what had happened when Bre told the full story the next morning--I had been very lucky.
I’d had a minor brush with what can be a very serious jellyfish and has led to people being hospitalized for a number of days, my slight knock was enough to tell me that it’s not something to be messed around with and I really should have been wearing a full stinger suit, as it recommended at all beaches here at this time of year.., even if you’re in the water for just a couple of seconds as I was!
66. We now know that people who suffer from Irukandji syndrome usually ___________.
A. have headache, backache, chest pain, sweat heavily and feel sick
B. have headache, backache, chest pain, breathe quickly and cough a lot
C. is not very painful in the beginning, but can be very painful the next day
D. play with these beautiful jellyfish while swimming in the sea
67. What have we learnt from Ben’s blog EXCEPT that _______________?
A. Ben Southall knows how to take care of himself
B. Ben Southall doesn’t look after himself well enough
C. Ben Southall has been in hospital for some days
D. Ben Southall’s friend, Bre tends to him well
68. What lesson can we learn from Ben’s incident?
A. All rules must be strictly obeyed all the time.
B. All recommendations should be seriously taken into consideration.
C. Always have yourselves covered when you are in the sea.
D. Never play with creatures in the sea.

a. Keep an appointment b. See a doctor c. Go jetskiing d. Get home
A. a,c,d,b B. c,a,b,d C. c,b,a,d D. d,b,a,c

Puffers attach their eggs to rocks near the bottom of the sea, often at the mouths of bays.Then the larvae(幼魚(yú))move to the wide part of the river once they have grown a little.Having put on more weight, they head for the sea.It's no childhood for the puffer fish, though, as Shin Oikawa and his colleagues found when they hatched puffer larvae in the lab and monitored them for two months.They found the larvae went through three step changes when they reached body weights of 0.002 grams, 0.01g and 0.1g.When a larva went through one of these changes, its behavior also changed.For instance, once a larva passed the first level it would grow its first teeth and could start attacking the larvae that had not reached that stage.Similarly, any larva that had reached the 0.01g or 0.1g levels would start attacking the larvae that hadn't. The baby fish had a "relatively small mouth", so rather than swallow their brothers and sisters whole, they would bite pieces out of them.Despite this limitation, the fish caused plenty of deaths. Eat one puffer and the poison will paralyze your muscles, including the muscles responsible for breathing －so death is usually caused for lack of oxygen.Famously, the fish is a delicious dish in Japan, where highly qualified chefs produce dishes that contain safe levels of the poison.The puffer does not go to the trouble of producing poison itself.Instead, it hosts bacteria that combine the poison.It obtains these bacteria from its diet, so the youngest adult fish are not poisonous. 1. The following statements account for the violence of puffers EXCEPT ________. A. they often prevent people from capturing them B. they can become larger to frighten enemies away C. they kill their younger companions after growing older D. they can poison people who try to eat them 2. We can learn from the second paragraph that the puffer ________. A. can mostly grow to the weight of 0.1g gram B. never changes its behavior as it grows C. often finds safe places to have its next generation D. begins to grow teeth when it reaches the second level 3. Where does the poison in the puffer's body come from? A. Its inner organism. B. The chemicals in the water. C. The diet it eats. D. Small fish around it. 4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________. A. the puffer does produce poison all by itself B. people like eating puffers though they are poisonous C. people can eat the puffer prepared by themselves D. fishermen often capture the youngest adult puffers 科目：gzyy 來(lái)源： 題型：閱讀理解 Ben Southall, from Britain, got the world’s best job, as an island caretaker on Hamilton Island, Queensland, Australia.

Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland．“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves．” Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity． Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean．“The winds start out by making little ripples （波紋） in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said．“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey．” When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine （渦輪） ．The turbine can then power an electrical generator （發(fā)電機(jī)） ． The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in Scotland． The resource is huge．We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal． Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface．That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world．There are some drawbacks, however． Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money．He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown．Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic． With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said．“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world．Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day．” In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity! 1.Which of the following is NOT true? A．Wave power doesn’t cost too much money． B．Wave energy is so clean that it doesn’t create the same amount of pollution as other energy sources． C．Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic． D．Wave power may affect marine animals． 2.We can infer from the passage that ______． A．finding more new energy sources is not necessary because of wave energy B．wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world C．wave power is not quite perfect for creating energy around the world D．wave power doesn’t create any pollution 3.The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means ______． A．regrets B．a(chǎn)dventures C．disadvantages D．difficulties 4.What can be the best title for the passage?

科目：gzyy 來(lái)源： 題型：閱讀理解 Dangerous creatures Some beach creatures are wonderful—like dolphins, but others are dangerous. Find out more about the dangerous ones –puffer fish, blue ringed octopus, and stingrays. The blue ringed octopus The blue ringed octopus is not a very big creature but it is very dangerous. These octopuses are found all around the coast of Australia. They often lie in rock pools close to shore. The blue ringed octopus is usually a dull colour but it shows its bright blue rings when it is in danger. If it is taken out of the water by someone, it is able to bite him and poison him. If this creature bites someone, he will feel numbness (麻木) around the mouth, face and neck, Puffer Fish Puffer Fish are found in all Australian seas. They are very easy to catch but must not be eaten because their flesh contains a poison. Anyone who does eat the flesh can become sick very quickly. They may even stop breathing. The Blue Bottle The Blue Bottle is found in most Australian waters. Blue Bottles float lightly on the surface of the water but their tentacles(觸角)can be as long as 10 meters. Blue Bottles are much less dangerous than some other jellyfish, but they can give a swimmer a bad sting(刺) if the swimmer accidentally touches them. Stingrays There are many different kinds of stingrays in Australian waters. They usually swim and feed on the bottom of the sea. Accidents can happen if people stand on them or try to pick them up. Stingrays have a sting on their tail. These stings have poison on them. If someone is stung, the wound can easily become infected. If you swim in Australian waters, you will probably . A．be bitten by the blue ringed octopus B．stop breathing because of Puffer Fish C．get a bad sting by the Blue Bottle D．become infected by stingrays According to the text, the less aggressive (侵略性)creature is .

科目：gzyy 來(lái)源： 題型：053 閱讀理解 Unless action is taken immediately，there is a good chance that all the oceans of the world will be dead by the year 2010. How can this possibly happen? We have already seen that people allow all sorts of waste products to flow into the sea. It is almost impossible to measure how much waste water and industrial waste end up in our oceans, but we can find out how much oil is poured into them legally(合法地) and illegally. It is illegal to pour oil into the sea close to the shore, but when a ship is many miles out to sea there are no such rules. Scientists have different ideas as to the amount of oil put into the sea，but the lowest figure for oil poured in European waters alone is nearly 200000 tons every year. Some people say the figure could be ten times as high. It is not only our coasts that suffer from oil pollution. Among other things，many shell fish(creatures which live in water, and have a hard shell(殼)--oysters and mussels, for example--now have high amounts of poisonous substances. Next time you have shell fish to eat, how can you be sure that they are free from oil pollution? You cannot see the effects and you cannot taste them, either. It is really quite a problem. 1．This passage is mainly about _____. [ ] A．pollution in the oceans B．the amounts of oil in the sea C．the amounts of poison in shell fish D．oil pollution in the waters 2．According to the passage，what is the main cause of oil pollution? [ ] A．Oil ships which meet and strike each other. B．Oil poured at sea when the oil tanks are cleaned out. C．Oil coming out of the bottom of the sea. D．Oil from waste water and industrial waste. 3．Which of the following is illegal? [ ] A．Pouring oil into the sea from land, especially when there is no other choice. B．Allowing waste materials to flow into the waters. C．Pouring oil at seaside. D．Going fishing when the water is polluted by oil. 4．What does the underlined words“European waters”mean? [ ] A．The seas around Europe and Africa. B．The Atlantic Ocean. C．The Arctic Ocean. D．The Black Sea and the Mediterranean mainly. 5．Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage? [ ] A．All the Oceans in the world are polluted by oil. B．The water body of the earth will be dead by the year 2010. C．It's possible that all the creatures in the sea will die out if no action is taken. D．Some kinds of the living things in the waters have been poisoned and we must be careful of them.

Now I’ve spent nearly six months here in Queensland and so far I thought I’d done particularly well at avoiding any contact with any of the dangerous critters that consider this part of the world their home. I’ve avoided being boxed by a kangaroo, nibbled by a shark and bitten by a spider or a snake—but then in my final few days on Hamilton Island I seemed to be punished by a little creature known as an Irukandji.
