When I lived in England, an English woman was so warm-hearted that she often helped me. Once I wanted to go shopping, she volunteered to be my guide. I was moved a lot and wanted to say thanks to her. So I said, “Thank you! Thank you!” she was too surprised to say any words. After a while, she seemed to understand me and laughed and said “I can swim!” Suddenly I realized I had made a big mistake in my pronunciation. It was one of the funniest mistakes I had made in England. I pronounced “thank” into “sank” by mistake.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once an English friend of mine was in Paris, when a waiter wanted to serve him some more coffee, he said “Thank you” in French. He meant that he would like some more. However, to his surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later he found out that “thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”
( ) 41. When the author said thanks to her, why was the woman too surprised to say
any words?
A. Because she was too glad to say any words. B. Because she was a dumb.
C. Because she couldn?t hear what the author said.

As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins（企鹅）may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins has decreased by 30% since 1987.
Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Many live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly, but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill.
The warming of the earth is the cause of the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce. Besides, many adult penguins die of hunger.
Widespread fishing, exploration for oil and oil leaks also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies, including wild dogs, sharks, seals and sea lions.
News about penguins is not all bad. However, several years ago，oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds well. Then they returned the penguins to the wild. Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.
( ) 46.Penguins ___________ . A. can swim better than fly B. can be found near Oceania C. eat fish only

( ) 47. Which of the following is not the cause of penguin?s decrease in numbers? A. Oil searching. B. Widespread fishing.

( ) 48. Why are the penguins in South Africa reproducing in higher numbers than
before the oil leaking?
A. Because people removed the ship.
B. Because people sent a lot of penguins to the wild. C. Because people helped the penguins.
D. Because people treated the penguins well.
( ) 49. Which sentence is true according to the passage?
A. All kinds of penguins are in danger of disappearing.
B. Penguins are birds that live in the northern part of the world
