35.B空格处及后文作定语从句,先行词既有人又有物,且关系词在从句中作名词性成分,只可以用that引导。

A herringonce decided to swim right around the world. “I'm tired of the North Sea,” she said.“I want to find out what else there is in the world.” So she swam off south. once she was nearly eaten by a shark.
But she swam on and on. Round the tip of Africa and into the Indian Ocean, she was amazed by the different shapes and sizes and colors of other fishes. And on she swam through the wide Pacific. Then she turned north and finally she swam home into her own North Sea.
All her friends and relations gathered around. They had a big feast and offered her the very best food they could find, but the herring said, “I've swum around the whole world, and I've eaten more wonderful dishes than you could possibly imagine.” And she refused to eat anything. Then her friends and relations asked her to come home and live with them. But she refused.“I've been everywhere and that old rock is too dull and small for me.”And she went off and lived on her own.
When the breedingseason came, she refused to join in the spawning , saying, “I know how many fishes there are in the world. I can't be interested in herrings anymore.”
Finally, one old herring swam up to her and said, “Listen, if you don't spawn with us, some herring eggs will not turn into healthy young herrings. If you don't live with your fa mily, you'll make them sad and if you don't eat, you'll die.”
But the herring said, “I don't mind. I've seen everything there is to see, and now I know everything there is to know.”
“I don't know,” said the old herring. “But there may be something.”
Just then, a fishing boat came by, and all the herrings were caught in a net and taken to market that day. A man bought the herring and ate her for his supper, and he never knew that she had swum right around the world and had seen everything there was to see, and knew everything there was to know.
语篇解析本文是记叙文。一条鲱鱼环游全球之后觉得自己见识了整个世界,没想到后却落入渔网让人买走当作晚餐吃掉。
43.How can we describe the herring's trip around the world?
A. Exciting. B. Helpful.
C. Peaceful. D. Disappointing.答案与分析A推理判断题。由第二段中的she was amazed by ...可知,旅途是激动人心的。
44.It can be inferred from the text that the old herring ________.
A. worked hard
B. was very wise
C. knew a boat was coming
D. worried a lot about the eggs
答案与分析B推理判断题。由倒数第二段老鲱鱼说的话和后一段鲱鱼们被捕捞的事实可知,老鲱鱼是有智慧的。
45.The text seems to tell us that ________.
A. all rivers run into the sea
B. all time is no time when it is past
C. a common danger causes common action
D. behind the mountains there's a bigger mountain
答案与分析D写作意图题。作者写这篇文章主要通过一条自以为见多识广的鲱鱼被捕获的故事告诉大伙,山外有山,不可以太自负。A项意为“殊途同归”; B项意为“机不可失,时不再来”; C项 意为“同舟共济”。

Good_morning,_everyone,
I'm_Li_Hua_from_Nanyang_Middle_School._The_TOPic_of_my_speech_is_“_Let's_pick_up_a_book_and_read_”.
Nowadays, with the growth of the Internet,many teenagers are addicted to online games. They usually spend long hours in front of computers in their spare time. The longterm use of computers causes many students to suffer loss of memory. Their interest in studying also drops greatly.
How can we get teenagers back to a normal life? I think it a good idea to help them form the habit of reading. On the one hand, reading can broaden teenagers' horizons. On the other hand, reading can deepen their understanding of the events happening at home and abroad. Besides, they will get good grades in their exams.
Let's pick up a book and read!
Thank_you!
