50、also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest，I dont think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not only come to help, but also to learn about

51、 and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”64Whats the best title of this passage?AVolunteers Sharing As Well As HelpingBVolunteers Washing As Well As CleaningCVolunteers Cheering As Well As PlantingDVolunteers Caring As Well As Understanding答案：A標(biāo)

They are usually very different from their sharing partner, and yet all live easier lives because of each other. It is natures idea of sharing. An example of this is the shark and pilot fish. The p

55、ilot fish is a little guy and he would be helpless if he hung around by himself in the great ocean. But his smartness makes up for his size. He cleverly swims along beside the shark and when the shark eats, the pilot fish gets the leftovers. The shark also benefits from this relationship. The pilot

56、fish cleans food scraps (碎屑) and insects from the sharks skin. Another example is the sea anemone (?？? and striped clown fish. The sea anemone looks like a flower but contains poisonous cells. When small fish swim into it, the anemone traps and paralyzes (使麻痹) them. However, the striped clown fish i

57、s able to swim into the poisonous anemone without being harmed. To pay for his safety, the clown fish brings food to the anemone. He also guides other fish into the anemones deadly trap. Large mammals such as the ox, antelope and African buffalo form such a relationship with the oxpecker. They provi

58、de daily meals to the bird that eats insects. The various large mammals act as a restaurant with a varied menu for the oxpecker. What do they get in return from the bird? Free beauty treatments! Some plants live together in a beneficial relationship. Fungus (菌類) does not have chlorophyll (葉綠素) that

59、plants need to make food. However, the green alga (海藻) does contain chlorophyll. It is, therefore, able to feed the fungus along with itself. But nothing is free! The fungus repays it by protecting the alga. Since it takes in and stores water, it can provide the alga with an unending water supply.文章

60、大意：本文用四個例子來說明一些動植物之間相互依賴，相互幫助，共同分享的關(guān)系。67Why does the pilot fish swim along beside the shark?ABecause he likes eating the waste given off by the shark.BBecause he can help the shark get food.CBecause he can get food and protection.DBecause he needs the help of the shark to lead his way.答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二
