A Shanghai rescue ship struggled for 28 hours in stormy seas to save the lives of 23 Russian seamen whose ship was sinking in Taiwan Strait, according to a report in the Shanghai Evening Post.
On December 28 last year, as high winds whipped up wild seas, a Russian fishing ship lost power off the Chinese coast near Xiamen in Southeast China’s Fujian Province.
It took the rescue ship “Hujiu No.1” nearly 10 hours to reach the accident site and another 7 hours to find the Russian ship because of the powerful winds and high seas.
After failing to supply power to the Russian ship because of the extreme weather conditions, “Hujiu No. 1” began to pull the Russian ship to Xiamen Harbour.
Heavy seas caused the pulling cable（缆绳）to break off but the rescue crew managed to get a second cable to the Russians and resumed（继续） the tow towards Xiamen.
On the way to the harbour, the sea suddenly began to pour into the Russian ship through broken steel plates and it began to sink.
Fighting the heavy seas and high winds, the “Hujiu No. 1” managed to move the stricken ship and the 23 Russian crew jumped to safety on board the rescue ship.
The Russian ship sank a short time later.
56. The Russian ship sank near ______ at last.
A. Shanghai B. Xiamen C. Taiwan D. Russia

The elephant is the biggest four-legged animal in the world. It’s also the gentlest; but not always.
Elephants are like us in some way. They live for a long time - fifty or sixty years. They can remember things very well. They never forget great sadness or great happiness. A female elephant dies, her daughters and her granddaughters are sad for many months. They stay with the dead body. Then they carry a bit of it away with them. They never forget a dear friend.
Elephants are like us, but they are also different. They live in families of females. There will be a few young males - a few “baby boys”. But the female will soon send them away. An elephant family keeps only its daughters, mothers, grandmothers and its great-grand-mothers.
The females stay together for fifty, sixty... a hundred years. The older animals look after the young ones. The mothers teach their daughters and set a good example.
And what happens to male elephants? Well, the young males stay with their mothers for a time. Then they must leave the family. The females just send them away. A male elephant does not often have a friend. He lives apart away from other males.
Sometimes the females call a male. He can visit them then, and stay for a time. But soon his “wife” and sisters send him away again. The females have a very happy family life. What do the males think about it? We don’t know.
59. An elephant family keeps the following members EXCEPT ______.
A. daughters B. mothers
C. fathers D. grandmothers
60. According to the passage, a male elephant ______.
A. lives together with other family members
B. lives together with other males
C. lives almost all by himself
D. does not have a friend
C
Once the corals along the shores of the Israeli Red Sea resort of Eilat were a hot spot for divers drawn by one of the most beautiful and biologically different reefs in the world.
Today Eilat’s corals are facing extinction(灭绝) and the colorful fish are disappearing because of the fish-farm industry in the region’s waters. “It was one of the most beautiful reefs in the world, and it’s really very painful to see it dying,” said Professor Yossi Loya, an internationally famous coral ecologist. He and other experts say Eilat’s reefs will soon be destroyed unless the government quickly closes companies that breed（养殖） some five million fish a year in cages and are operating without permits（许可证）.
“We are in the 11th hour, the very last moment to save them,” said Loya, who has studied Eilat’s reefs for tens of years.
The fish firms refuse any direct link with the coral decline. In fact the most serious damage began in 1993 after fish companies started mass production. At the time, the reefs should have regenerated（再生） as a sewage plant began to treat Eilat’s waste.
“What happened between 1993 and 2000 is that there was an exponential increase(指数倍增长) in the growth of fish cages from 300 tons per year to something like 2,000 tons per year, which makes the sea water dark and blocks sunlight which is necessary for coral living. The key point is that the Gulf of Eilat is a sea that does not have nitrogen(氮) at all, the condition of which is suitable for corals,” Loya explained.
61. After reading the passage, we know that in the Israeli Red Sea _______.
A. corals are facing a serious situation
B. reefs are very dangerous to man
C. corals will be more beautiful than ever
D. reefs will grow faster than ever
62. The underlined sentence “We are in the 11th hour” (in Paragraph 3) means that “_______”.
A. It is 11: 00 am
B. We have lasted for 11 hours
C. It is very important and needs to be dealt with immediately
D. There is still enough time for us
63. Facing the corals’ extinction, Yossi Loya feels ______.
A. satisfactory B. angry
C. interested D. painful
64. Which of the following things is necessary for the living of corals?
A. Dark sea water. B. Nitrogen.
C. Sunlight. D. Fish cages.
65. According to the passage, which of the following could be the possible advice to save the corals?
A. Killing all the fish in the sea at once.
B. Building more sewage plants.
C. Limiting the divers in the area.
D. Closing fish-farm companies operating without permits.
