Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr. Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides herbike.Alida was diagnosed(诊断)with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI)when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter(过滤)oxygen through extra layers(膜)of cells making it hard or almost imposs12345678910下一页ible to breathe.For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle―a retriever(寻回犬)crossed with a poodle-dog Mr. Gibbs. Now--thanks to trainer AshleighKinsley―Alida and Mr. Gibbs love nothing more t han playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.21. What is Mr. Gibbs?A.

Charles Willson Peale is best rememberedfor his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution . He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. Hislife-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in thepicture.Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devotedhis life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’sfirst popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of anima12345678910下一页ls in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed ona New York farm in 1801.Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraitsof many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.James Peale, the brotherof Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughterSarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painterin America.25.

Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It’s true that many poo rer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the localpeople more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas (佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost thelocal people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find onlymenial (卑微的) jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from theirlands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.” E thical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people’s lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local eco12345678910下一页nomy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we’re abroad, we can:Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for th e cheapest price.Avoid flaunting wealth.Ask before taking photographs of people.They are not just part of the landscape!Let’s enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.32. What is probably the best title for the article?A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects. B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun. D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think33. Which of the following is not mentioned?A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands.B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.34. The underlined phrase "take heart" means" ".A. pay attention B. take care C. cheer up D. calm down35. According to the passage, the writer thinks .A. tourism is not a promising industryB. dream vacations should be spent abroadC. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settleD. tourists should respect local customs and culture七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Taxi drivers are unwilling to pick up customers inside the car park.CDown-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air who can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.8. If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____.A. is in touch with reali ty, and doesn’t have any dreamsB. has some dreams but he is realisticC. is honest, open and easy to deal withD. is honest, open but hard to deal with9. From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from a teacher can usually ________.A. help a student get down to the earthB. wake a student upC. help a daydreaming student come downD. help a daydreaming student to become more realistic10. The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably meansthat ______.A. the person who has his nose in the air is not trueB. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligentC. the opposite direction is always wrongD. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth第二节:七选五阅读题(共5小题;每小题2分;满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The man ran from the 41 and left Ms Slade lying in her front garden 42 very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.It was John’s quick 43 and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life. He immediately asked a number of the 44 people for bandages(绷带), but when nobody could put their hands on anything, his father got some tea towels(毛巾)and 45 from their house.

Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts(工艺)practised in the British Isles. Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.Thatching is a solitary(独自的)craft, which often runs in families. The craftof thatching as it is practised toady has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, keeping and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often unwilling to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to get the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defiance against the heat.56. Which of the following remains a special feature of the English countryside?A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.C. Cottages with thatched roofs.D. Churches with cottages around them.57. What do we know about thatching as a craft?A. It is a collective activity.B. It is practised on farms all over England.C. It is quite different from what it used to be.D. It is in most cases handed down among family members.58. Thatched houses are still preferred because of _________.A. their style and comfortB. their durabilityC. their easy maintenanceD. their cheap and ready-made materials59. People in developing countries also live under thatch because ________.A. thatched cottages are a big tourist attractionB. thatched roof houses are the cheapestC. thatch is an effective defense against the heatD. they like thatched houses better than other buildings(B)Today our lives are changing faster than at any time in history. Here we report on three important changes that will have a big impact on our everyday lives in the future.The cashless societyCash and bank-notes will disappear almost completely. They will be replaced by smart cards, namely plastic cards: microchip(微芯片)processors(处理器)loaded with some money. When we pay for goods,the shop assistant will put our smart card into a payment terminal(终端)and money will come into his card from our card. When all the money is used up,we will be able to reload it by putting it into a telephone,dialing our bank account and money will be put into the card from the account.Interactive telephonesTalking computers will play an important part. They will recognize speech, askus what information we need, look through a database,and put the information into speech.If we want to book a flight or pay a bill by phone, we will interact with a talking computer to do so. Human telephone operators will be used only for more complex operations such as dealing with complaints or solving special problems._________Traffic jams in cities will be reduced because drivers will use electronic route maps to find the quickest route to their destination. Electronic systems will start changing motorists for driving in cities.As soon as motorists have to pay to drive in cities, they will stop using their cars and use public transport instead. Speed control systems will be built into cars. These systems will automatically(自动地)regulate the speed of the car to take account of traffic and weather conditions and prevent accidents. It will be many years before these changes bring results but when they do,there will be a titanic improvement in road safety.With the development of science and technology, more and more advanced things will be invented or created. Life in the future is undoubtedly different from that at the present.60. Cash and bank-note will disappear because .A. they will be out of use sooner or laterB. they will be replaced by plastic cards convenient to useC. we can load money from the bankD. they will be rejected by payment terminals61. What will you do if the money in your card is used up?A. Go to the bank to deposit some money.B. Put the card into a telephone and dial the bank account.C. Buy a new card.D. We don’t know.62. Which of the following would be the best subtitle for the fourth paragraph?A. Future carsB. Speed control systemsC. Intelligent carsD. Traffic jams63. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. When we buy tickets for flying somewhere else, we can have a talk with the computer.B. If you make a complaint, you can use human telephone operation.C. Drivers will stop using their cars and use public transport in order to prevent accidents.D. The help of electronic route maps will decrease traffic jams.64. The underlined word “titanic” in Paragraph 4 means .A. huge and greatB. the name of a shipC. slightD. increasing(C)Dolphins(海豚)are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this, they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time―at least twentyor thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1918, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1918 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area-except for The Penguin.Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.65. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____.A. live in groupsB. have large brainsC. are warm-bloodedD. have their own language66. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?A. Its nose.B. Its ears.C. Its mouth.D.Its eyes.67. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A. He was lonely and liked to be with people.B. They enjoyed playing with him.C. He was seriously wounded.D. They wanted his help.68. By telling the story of Jack, the writer wanted to show that _____.A. dolphins are friendly and cleverB. people are cruel to animalsC. Jack is different from other dolphinsD. dolphins should be protected by law(D)Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.That’s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole program.Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance (无知). Then the host has to answer and explain—how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don’t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested or how silly they appear to be.I’m totally bored by those people. It’s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmers. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.69. The sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole program” may tell usthat _____.A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong wayB. it is a factC. it is a good ideaD. some people have unclear thoughts70. Some calls waste the host’s time __________.A. because the host works hardB. because of the caller’s ignoranceC. because the host likes talking to the callerD. because of a lot of questions raised by the caller第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.21. What is the main idea of paragraph I?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.22. The author explains the law of overlearning by .A. presenting research findingsB. selling down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples23. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is .A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies24. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students’ learning interest.BIf Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28th birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will g ive him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.
