A
In 1996, three men in California were taken to a hospital with
strange symptoms (
症状
). They felt dizzy, tired, and weak. They
couldn’t
speak, and they had trouble breathing. The hospital
doctors thought the men had been poisoned, but couldn’t work
out what was wrong with them. Then they found out the three
men were all chefs, and they had just shared a dish of fugu.

Fugu, the Japanese name for the puffer fish, is one of the
strangest fish in the ocean. The puffer fish gets its name from the
way the fish protects itself from enemies. Whenever it is
attacked, the fish blows up its body to over twice its normal size!

The reason the three men were taken to the hospital is because

the puffer fish is very poisonous. As a rule, if you eat a whole
puffer fish, you will probably die. The three men had a close
call, but they all survived.

The reason the three men were taken to the hospital is because the puffer fish is very poisonous. As a rule, if you
eat a whole puffer fish, you will probably die. The three men had a close call, but they all survived.

The symptoms of fugu poisoning are a strange feeling around the mouth and throat, and difficulty breathing.
You can’t breathe and your body can’t get any air. Your brain still works perfectly, however, so you know you are
dying, but you can’t speak or do anything about it.


Despite the danger of fugu poisoning, this strange, ugly, and very poisonous fish is actually a very expensive,
and very popular, kind of food in Japan. Customers pay up to $$200 per person to eat a fugu meal. Because of the
danger, fugu can only be prepared by chefs with a special licence from the government. These chefs are trained to
identify and remove the poisonous parts of the fish. Most people who die from eating fugu these days are people
who have tried their hand at preparing the fish themselves.

Fugu is said to be so delicious that it has even started to be imported(
进口
) into Hong Kong and the United
States. Several tons of fugu are now exported from Japan every year.
51. The best title for this passage should be ________.

A. A Dangerous Dish

B. Fishing in Japan

C. The History of Fugu

D. A Talented Chef
52. Why were the three men taken to the hospital?

A. Someone poisoned them.

B. They ate poisonous fish.

C. They poisoned each other.

D. A doctor worked out their symptoms.
53. When an enemy tries to eat a puffer fish, it ________.

A. eats the enemy
B. makes poison

C. looks very ugly

D. becomes bigger
54. Which is NOT a symptom of fugu poisoning?

A. Breathing difficulty.

B. Tiredness and weakness.

C. Your brain stops working.

D. Trouble speaking.
55. Who is allowed to prepare fugu?

A. People from California.

B. Licensed chefs.

C. The government.

D. Anyone who wants to try their hand.

A tsunami(
海啸
) is a giant wave that can do huge amounts of damage when it hits land. To see how one starts,
throw a stone into a pond or lake, and watch the ripples(
涟漪
) spread out on the surface of the water. A tsunami
starts in a similar way to one of these ripples, except that it is not caused by a stone, but by something much bigger,
such as an earthquake occurring under the sea.

Once it has started, a tsunami can move across the ocean for huge distances. An earthquake off the coast of
South America generated (
引起
) a tsunami that travelled west for over 15,000 kilometres and caused enormous
damage when it hit the coast of Japan 22 hours later.

Tsunamis can be caused by volcanic eruptions as well as by earthquakes. The most deadly tsunami in recorded
history was the one that followed the eruption of Indonesia’s Krakatoa volcano in 1883. About 36,000 people died,
and what actually killed most of them was the tsunami rather than the eruption itself.

It is not only events on Earth that cause tsunamis. They can also be generated by a comet (
彗星
) or meteor (
流
星
) hitting the Earth. No one has actually seen this happen, except on screen in Hollywood films such as Deep
Impact. But the giant tsunamis produced by special effects in such films, big enough to cover the skyscrapers of
New York, are theoretically possible, and computer simulations (
模拟研究
) show that they have almost certainly
happened in the distant past.

In the open ocean, a tsunami wave is difficult to see, because most of it is below the surface. The part of the
wave that is actually visible may be just one or two metres high. But the wave has enormous power, and can travel
at the speed of a jet plane
—
almost 800 kph. As it eventually approaches land, the wave slows down, and this
causes a dramatic increase in its height. By the time it actually reaches the land, it can be up to 30 metres high.
