next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.
When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He’s dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Who’s there?”
“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.”

Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed.
A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.
On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn’t break up. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.
We decided to leave at once. It’s all right living in a house for a little while, but you feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.

“I don’t, but I do have a very well polished silver coffeepot in front of me!” Holmes laughed. “And whom do I have the pleasure of greeting?” he asked.
“I am Dr. James Mortimer, Mr. Holmes. It concerns the death of my good friend and patient, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles Baskerville had no children, so his entire estate(财产) now pass to his nephew, Sir Henry Baskerville, who has been living in America for many years.” Dr. Mortimer took a letter out of his pocket which was given to him by Sir Charles just before his death 3 months ago. “ If I may, I should like to read the letter to you.” He adjusted his glasses.
“Baskerville Hall, 1742. To my sons, Rodger and John. The legend（传说，传奇） has been told by my father who was told by his father before him. It began 100 years ago in 1642 when this great Baskerville Hall was occupied（占有） by Hugo Baskerville ---a wild, ugly, cruel man. Hugo wanted to marry the daughter of a neighbouring farmer. One day, with his five evil friends, he rode to the farm and kidnapped the girl. He brought her to Baskerville Hall and locked her in an upstairs room while he and his friends having a drinking party below. The poor girl was very frightened, but she managed to climb out of the window. Hugo, however, soon noticed that she had gone. He chased the girl on his black horse with his hunting dog showing the way. His friends joined the chase until a strange sight stopped them. There lay two bodies--Hugo’s and the girl’s. Standing over Hugo’s body was a huge black beast（野兽）tearing out his throat（喉咙）.

Do you like to eat sushi(寿司)? Many people are afraid to eat it, because they think the bacteria(细菌) in it might make them sick. However, a new study shows that sea bacteria are good for people. The study finds that a special enzyme(酶) from sea bacteria is helpful to humans. It helps people to get more energy from food.
To people’s surprise, the enzyme is present only in the Japanese. The Japanese traditionally like to eat food rich in seaweed(海藻). And the seaweed is rich in this kind of enzyme.
However, the enzyme isn’t present in all the Japanese. During the study, just 5 out of 14 Japanese had the enzyme. All the Americans studied didn’t have the enzyme.
“The number is small,” said researcher Mirjam Czjzek. “But we can say that this enzyme is present only in the Japanese and not in the North Americans.”
Then some people think that maybe other people are able to get the enzyme if they eat a lot of seaweed. The study suggests that they collect uncooked seaweed to make their sushi.
Restaurant sushi is often cooked, which will destroy the enzyme. So, if you want to get that enzyme, you can travel to Japan to have a taste of the real sushi.
( )41.Which has the same meaning as the underlined word “ destroy”?
A. ruin B. protect C. throw D. keep
( )42.Why do the Japanese have the special enzyme?
A. Because they like to eat food full of bacteria. B. Because they were born with such an enzyme. C. Because they get more energy from food.
D. Because they eat a lot of seaweed.
( )43.Which of the following is wrong?
A. The Japanese have a diet rich in seaweed. B. All the Japanese studied have the special enzyme. C. All the North Americans studied don’t have the enzyme. D. The enzyme helps people to get more energy.
( )44.According to the study, about _______ of Japanese have the enzyme.
A. 5% B. 14% C. 35% D. 60%
( )45.Which of the following is the best title?
A. Restaurant sushi. B. Sea bacteria. C. Seaweed soup. D. A special enzyme.
