Passage 1
Hundreds of species of marine life manage to survive even in the darkest depths of the ocean.These tenants of the deep have evolved some extremely ingenious devices for locating their food and enemies.
Where the light is very dim，some of these deepwater species have developed enormous eyes with almost telescopic lenses，very much like those of owls.Others，especially the fish that survive where there is no light at all，are quite blind but have developed long fellers that enable them to identify and collect stray bits of food that come within a considerable radius of them.
Some inhabitants of the deep supply their own light.They have built-in torches that they can switch on and off depending on whether they are pursuing or being pursued.Some have regular lamps，spots of steady light，which spread a faint glow through the water around them.One deepwater squid can squirt a luminous fluid that lights up its immediate vicinity，a neat variation on the ink ejected by its cousins nearer the surface to becloud and darken the water.It is supposed that about half of the varieties of fish living in the dark depths of the ocean heave some power of illumination.

Passage 3
By 1970，according to a World Wildlife Fund report，only about 4，500 tigers survived throughout the world，half of them in India.Mr.Forsters，who followed and counted tiger footprints，estimated that in May 1972 only about 1，800 tigers existed in India.Project（项目） Tiger supported by W.W.F. was immediately launched.Nine tiger reserves（保留地） were created，with armed guards protecting them.
The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gather information about their habits.Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory（领地） of between 10 and 20 square kilometers，depending on its age，size and strength.The territory of a male includes the smaller territories of three or four tigresses.A tiger marks the boundaries of its territory by spraying urine and other bodily liquids on bushes.But it tries to avoid territorial fights，being guided by the sharp body smell of other tigers.Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.
The popular picture of the tiger is that of a cruel and unconquerable hunter.But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims it tries to attack.
Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful.It has doubled the tiger population but India‘s human population has also grown out of control.Land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers.A growing number of attacks by tigers on man has added to the hostility.

B.analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers

D.protect tigers from being killed

C.remains unchanged
D.is the cause of most fights
14.Some people are afraid that Project Tiger _____.

Passage 4
America is a country on the move.In unheard-of numbers，people of all ages are exercising their way to better health.According to the latest statistics，59 percent of American adults exercise regularly—up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the number of 25 years ago.Even non-exercisers believe that they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.
It is hard not to get the message.The virtues of physical health are shown on magazine covers，postage stamps，and television advertisements for everything from beauty soaps to travel books.Exercise as a part of daily life didn‘t catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises.Growing publicity for races held in American cities helped to start a strong interest in the ancient sport of running.Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding—and sometimes safer—forms of exercise，such as walking and swimming，running remains the most popular form of exercise.
As the popularity of exercise continues to increase，so does scientific proof of its health benefits.The key to health is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously enough to about double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time.Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.
16.According to the passage，what was the percentage of American adults doing regular physical exercises two years ago？
A.About 70%. B.Nearly 60%.
C.Almost 50%. D.More than 12%.
17.A growing interest in sports developed after _____.
A.an increasing number of races were held in American cities
B.people got the message from magazine covers and postage stamps

C.are yet to be proved
D.are self-evident
20.Which of the following would be the best TITLE for the passage？
