Long long ago, there lived a giraffe in the forest. He was the tallest of all the animals, so he was too proud and always looked down on others. A monkey decided to teach the giraffe a lesson.

One day, the monkey led the giraffe to a tree. He said to the giraffe, "Look at the tall tree. There's some lovely fruit growing on the tree, but you wouldn't be able to pick it."

The giraffe said, "It is impossible. Just watch me." He tried to pick the fruit, but it was just out of reach.

"I said you couldn't reach it, but I can," said the monkey. Then, the monkey jumped onto the giraffe's back. He reached out his arm and picked the fruit.

The monkey said, "We could not do it alone, but we can do it together. So, don't be so proud." After that, the giraffe didn't boast any more. He even became friends with the monkey.

Is the whale the world’s largest fish? No. It looks like a fish, but it is really a mammal(哺乳动物). Then what’s the world’s largest fish? It’s the whale shark(鲸鲨).

Although the whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in the ocean(海洋) around the world, few people have ever heard of it. Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long. Much more needs to be learned about them.A whale shark is sometimes called a “ gentle giant（温柔的巨人)”. It likes to be alone and doesn’t care a bit about divers or humans. The biggest whale shark weighs 24, 250 pounds and is nearly 40 feet long. This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus.

Inside its huge mouth are great numbers of very small teeth. To count all of them, you’ll need to do some math. The whale shark’s teeth are arranged in rows. There are between eleven and thirteen rows on each jaw(颌) and around three hundred teeth in each row.

However, the whale shark rarely uses its teeth. It does not chew or bite its food. Large amounts of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through its gills(腮).

For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks comes to the Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia. This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish.

Whale sharks do live in the ocean around the world, but no one knows their population. It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting. It is one of the reasons why scientist continue to learn about these gentle giants.

36．Little is known about whale sharks because scientists ________.

A．are not interested in learning about them B．find them too difficult to catch

C．do not know the best places to find them D．have studied them for a short time

37．Which sentence can tell us that whale sharks are gentle?

A．They have large mouths. B．They leave divers alone.

C．They have small eyes. D．They live in the ocean.

38．How does the writer help us know what the whale shark’s mouth looks like?

A．By giving reasons. B．By describing colors. 

C．By comparing sizes. D．By using numbers.

39．The fourth paragraph is mainly about ________.

A．how a whale shark eats B．what a whale shark eats

C．how different fish use their gills D．what’s inside a whale shark’s mouth

40．Which of he following is the best title for the article?

A．Gentle Giants B．The Diary of a Sailor 

C．The Larges Animal D．My Life on the Sea

D

61．Pollution is a very serious problem in the world. We can’t imagine how to live in the future without clean water or fresh air. We have only one earth, so we have to think about how to protect the environment.

In my opinion, factories mustn’t pour the waste water into rivers, lakes and so on. When we go out, we’d better take a bus or a subway instead of driving private cars. We should avoid stop using plastic bags when we go shopping. Then many green trees can be saved. Besides protecting plants, we are supposed to protect animals. We need each kind of animal.

Of course, the government must do something about this. We want our beautiful world to be back.
