Passage 2
Mr. Phanourakis was 85 when he said goodbye to his Greek mountain village and took an American ship for the United States. His sons have done well in business there and wanted him to spend his remaining years with them.
The old gentleman knew no language except his own but, with the self-confidence of the Greek mountain villager, he made his way easily about the foreign ship. When the bell announced the serving of lunch on his first day on board, he found the number of his table on the passenger-list outside the dining room and went straight to it while most of the others waited for the chief steward to tell them where to sit.
It was a small table for two. Mr. Phanourakis sat down. After a few moments his table companion arrived. "Bon appetit, m'sieur," he murmured politely, as he took the other chair." Phanourakis," he said, carefully spacing out the Greek syllables.
During the afternoon, one of the ship's officers, who spoke some Greek, asked the old gentleman if he had found any acquaintances on board.
Mr. Phanourakis shook his head. "No," he said, "the only person I've met so far is my table companion. He must be French. His name is Bonappetit - or something like that."
"That is not his name," said the officer. "It is a French expression that means 'Good appetite'".

Passage 3
There is a vital need for national parks. We must have them as places where plants and animals can be preserved in the natural state for all time. And we need parks as a retreat (休养所) from the crowded bustling life of cities. Our record for conservation (自然资源保护)is poor. Half of the animal species existing at the time of Captain Cook's arrival are now extinct（灭绝）.
Australia has wildlife (野生生物) that is not found in the native state in any other part of the world. This wildlife is therefore of particular scientific value. In New South Wales, the National Parks and Wildlife Service is responsible for the care of out native plants and animals in their natural environment. One of the aims of this service is to educate people in the need for conservation. The service also provides facilities for recreation (娱乐) in parks and wilderness areas throughout the state.
A UNESCO (联合国教科文组织)study stated that a country should strive to retain 5 percent of its land as national parks. Australia at present is below this figure but there is a community awareness of the need to increase it and new areas are being proclaimed almost annually.
In the years to come, our national parks will be one of our most valuable assets. As our population grows and our cities become more crowded，parks will become vital as retreats from the pressures of modern urbanized living.
41．Judging from the passage，when Captain Cook first arrived in Australia，________.
Australia began its historical record
conservation in Australia was already poor
there were not so many animal species as now
there were twice as many animal species as now
42．In the last line of the second paragraph，"the state" refers to ________.
Australia
the native state
New South Wales
the National Parks and Wildlife Service
43．According to the passage，all the following statements are true except ________
All of Australia's wildlife can be found in other parts of the world.
It is the job of the National Parks and Wildlife Service to look after the native plants and animals.
Now Australia has less than 5 percent of its land as national parks.
At present，the number of national parks in Australia is steadily increasing.
44．The word "retain" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
"regard" "keep" "sell" "add"
45．According to the passage，national parks in Australia are important for ________.
the benefits of both the wildlife and the people
the annual income of the government
UNESCO study and research
the scientific value of the National Parks and Wildlife Service
