Choose the best answer(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)(12分 New research has found the longest living animal on Earth with a backbone is a shark.‎ The research, published in Science Magazine found the Greenland shark is the longest living animal with a backbone in the world. The gray-colored sharks live in the cold water of the Arctic and are named after Greenland, the world's largest island. After examining one of these sharks, scientists decided it was born in the icy water about 400 years ago and died out recently.‎ An international team of biologists and physicists was able to estimate(估计) the ages of 28 dead female. Greenland sharks by studying the lenses of their eyes. It is a new way to learn the age of an animal. Eight of the sharks were probably 200 years old or more, and could even have been 300 years old. That would make older than some whales, which earlier were believed to have been the oldest animals at about 211 years old, according to the Associated Press.‎ This discovery also means that Greenland sharks can live more than three times longer than humans. Many people these days can expect to live into their eighties. African elephants average about 70 years. The oldest of the Greenland sharks the scientists studied was nearly 5 meters long. It was thought to have been 392 years old when it was caught four years ago. However, because the testing method is so new, it is not exact.‎ The study's lead author is Julius Nielsen, a marine biologist from Denmark. He says the 392 number could have an error range of 120 years in either direction. That means the shark was probably born sometime between the years 1500 and 1740, with 1620 being the most likely.‎ ‎‘It's an estimate. It's not a determination,’ Nielsen said. ‘It is the best we can do.’‎ Even at the lowest age, the shark would have been 272 years old when it died and still would be the longest-living animal with a backbone, Nielsen said.‎ ‎‘I don' t know why they get as old, but I hope someone will find out,’ Nielsen said.‎ ‎69. According to Science Magazine, the Greenland shark______.‎ A)is the longest living animal on earth B)rarely lives in the cold water of the Arctic C) is an animal with a backbone D)still lives in the icy water now ‎70. A new way to learn the age of a female animal is______.‎ A)to estimate it by a biologist B) to examine its skin C)to study the lenses of its eyes D) to discover the place of its birth ‎71. The discovery means if people live into eighties. the shark might live into______years old.‎ A)almost 200‎ B)less than 211‎ C)over 320‎ D)at least 450‎ ‎72. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A) The oldest of the Greenland sharks was nearly five meters long.‎ B)It can make sure that the oldest Greenland shark was 392 years old.‎ C)Julius Nielsen says the 392 number could have an error range of 120 years.‎ D) Julius Nielsen has tried to estimate the probable time the shark was born.‎ ‎73. The author will probably write about______after the last paragraph.‎ A) the discovery of why sharks get so old ‎ B) the living habits of the sharks C)the reasons why sharks disappeared ‎ D)the bad side of the sharks ‎74.

The story is about a sailing ship called the Mary Celeste and the strange disappearance of all the people on board the ship.‎ The ship sailed from New York on 7th November, 1872, for the port of Genoa in Italy. It was carrying a cargo(货物) of 1, 700 barrels of American alcohol which was worth 35,000 dollars. There were 10 people on board the ship: the captain, Briggs, his wife, Sarah, their two-year-old daughter, and seven crewmen- Briggs had a good fame as a captain. He was also a religious man who did not drink alcohol.‎ The mystery begins on 15th November, 1872. The Mary Celeste was between the Azores and the coast of Portugal when it was seen by the captain of another ship, Captain Morehouse. Captain Morehouse was immediately worried because he could see that the Mary Celeste was out of control. He was also very surprised because he knew that Captain Briggs was a good sailor. There were no distress (求救) signals from the Mary Celeste and no reply when Morehouse tried to make contact, so he decided to take a small boat and climb on board the Mary Celeste. There was nobody on board！‎ There didn't seem to be much wrong with the ship: it was not in danger of sinking, so there was no need for panic. However, the ship's register and other paperwork were missing; the navigation instruments were missing; and everything on the ship, including the captain's bed, was wet through. Another important fact is that there were no boats on board. And a strange fact is that when the cargo was finally unloaded in Genoa, nine barrels of alcohol were missing. Can we find an explanation which fits all the known facts?‎ Morehouse guessed that the crew must, for some reason, have thought that the boat was sinking and panicked. But why did they think it was sinking? It is possible that, as the cargo was alcohol, there might be an explosion which would cause everyone on board to panic. The crew might have climbed into the boat and Tied the boat to the main ship while they checked if the ship really was sinking. Perhaps a storm broke the rope and left them all in a small boat on stormy seas.‎ It seems that___92___now, but I am sure that people will keep thinking of possible solutions, and the only limit to these solutions will be the human imagination!‎ ‎88 Which place did the Mary Celeste leave for?‎ ‎89. What do you know about Briggs besides having a family of three people?‎ ‎90. How did Morehouse feel when he saw the Mary Celeste was out of control?‎ ‎91. Why did Morehouse guess that the crew panicked at that time?‎ ‎92. What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph?‎ ‎93. Where do you think all the people on the ship might go? Show your possible reason(s)!‎ VII. Writing(作文)(共20分)‎ ‎94.
