24、g time, people who fish have had to rely on luck to catch fish. Even big fishing ships, fitted out with radar and modern equipment, have their share of bad days. Wouldnt it be nice if fish could be trained to come at the call of a whistle the way some days are trained? Well, the days of “fish whistl

25、e” may be just around the corner. Japanese companies are working on methods that will train fish to return to harvest areas at the sound of an underwater whistle. The method works like this: First, fish eggs are hatched in a laboratory. Whenever feeding time arrives, a whistle sounds. The young fish

26、 learn to return to their feeding areas at the sound of the whistle. Later, the fish are set free at sea, near special-made under water “barns”. There, the whistle-plus-feeding program continues. Being well fed and sheltered, the fish continue to live around the barn. So when fishing time arrives, a

27、ll the harvesters need to do is to sound the whistle, drop their nets, and draw in a lot of fish. Many countries have closed their offshore fishing waters to ships from other countries. With fish whistle and barns, Japan hope to become less dependent on importing fish from other countries.56. The wo

30、measures to protect their fishing waters from foreign ships59. On the whole, the passage is about _. A. a new fishing method B. an experiment with fish C. how to train fish D. how to feed fish BWhile traveling abroad, Mr. Jackson ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500. “Send

31、 me the money by telegram,” he wrote, “to the Fisher Bank in P”After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. “Nothing has come for you,” he was told. As this went on, Mr. Frank got more and more worried. In the fifth week Mr. Frank was taken away by the policemen for failing to pay for the bill.

32、 He tried to explain the problem to them, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for sixty days.When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $ 500 for me?” he asked. “My name is Jackson Frank.”The clerk checked his books. “

33、Yes, Jackson. Its here. It came by telegram- let me see- oh, three months ago. We wondered where you were.” He showed Mr. Frank the order.The order read: “Pay Mr. Jackson the sum of $ 500.” “But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson.”“Oh, thats all right, sir. It was in our books under the let

34、ter “J” but it is your money.”The clerk laughed. “It was a mistake, sir! We took your family name to be Jackson by mistake. Were all human beings, arent we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me. ”Mr. Frank was silent. He really wanted to hit somebody. At last he

36、ad made a mistakeB. the clerk was a human beingC. he had changed his family nameD. the clerk had made a mistake62.

37、s to do the same to the clerk CProverbs (谚语) are quite common in spoken English. We dont normally put them in a composition or a letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples.1)“Once bitten, twice shy.” If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful i

38、n future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go the same shop again.2) “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one than to see two

39、 birds in a bush but not able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.3) “Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup)”. When too many people do something, they get in each others way and do a bad job.4) “To pou

40、r oil on troubled waters” is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.5) “Dont be a dog in a man

41、ger( 槽 )”means“ Dont be selfish.” In a stable ( 马房 ), the manger is the place where the horses food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog doesnt want to eat the lay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.6) “He is sitting on

42、 the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.7) “He who pays the piper calls the tune.” A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can sa

43、y what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.8) “You cant get blood out of a stone” means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. e. g. you cannot get a million dolla

44、rs from a poor man. 63. Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his younger brother ride on it. His mother is angry and says to him: _. A. You cant get blood out of a stone B. Dont be a dog in a manger C. The early bird gets the worm D. To pour oil on troubled
