In another experiment,the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with7toys whose names the dog already knew.The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in7out of10tests,suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination.A month later,Rico remembered half of the new names,which is even more impressive,Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog.For one thing,Rico is a border collie,a breed known for its mental abilities.In addition,the9-yuear-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age if9months.It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some if the words we say.Even if they do,they can’t talk back.Still,it wouldn’thurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then You might just get a big,wet kiss in return!51.From the first paragraph we know that.A.Animals are as clever as human beingsB.Dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC.Chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD.Dogs have similar learning abilities as3-year-old children52.Both experiments show that.A.Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB.Rico can recognize different things including toysC.Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD.Rico won’t forget the names of objects once recognizing them53.Which of the following statements is true?A.The purpose of the experiments is to show the collie’s mental abilities.B.Rico has a better memory partly because if its proper early training.C.The collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D.Rico is born to understand its owner’s commands.54.What does the underlined sentence mean?A.To train your dogB.To talk to your dogC.To be friendly to your dogD.To be strict with your dog55.In paragraph3,the word”elimination”means in ChineseA.排除法B.推理法C.分类法D.归纳法Passage2Not all memories are sweet.Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional sears（伤痕）. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researching think they are close to developing a pill,which will help people forget bad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce,or possibly erase（抹去）,the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France.The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain.So fat the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced,not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument.Some think it is a bad idea,while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives.They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare.They usually come with very painful emotions.”Said Roger Pitman,a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that sufferings”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous becausememories give us our identity(特质).They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are,I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser,a medical ethicist.56.The passage is mainly about.A.A new medical inventionB.A new research on the pillC.A way of erasing painful memoriesD.An argument about the research on the pill57.The function of the pillA.Relieves people’s body painB.Helps people forget bad memoriesC.Treats soldiers’woundD.Cures people’s mental illness58.The drug tested on people canA.Cause the brain to fix memoriesB.Stop people remembering bad experiencesC.Prevent body producing certain chemicalsD.Wipe out the emotional effects of memories59.We can infer from the passage thatA.People doubt the effects of the pillsB.The pill will stop people’s bad experiencesC.Taking the pill will do harm to people’s healthD.The pill has probably been produced in America60.Which of following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A.Some memories can ruin people’s livesB.People want to get rid of bad memoriesC.Experiencing bad events makes us different from othersD.The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memoriesPassage3Many rural migrant workers chose to cut their lunar New Year holiday short this year,in an effort to find employment in an increasingly difficult market.“Three days after the Spring Festival, I went to the railway station to buy a ticket.I want to find a job,even a low-paying job,”said Chen, 22,from Jiangxi Province.During the Chinese New Year holiday,Chen did not idle.He asked many people about job pared with last year,rural migrant workers left home earlier this year to look for jobs in the cities.Most of them believed that if they started their job search earlier,they would have a better chance.At a press conference held on February2,Chen Xiwen,Director of the Office of the Central Rural Work Leading Group,said that because of the financial crisis,some export—oriented firms in the coastal area were in trouble,and that as a result,about25million of the130million rural migrant workers could lose their jobs.In January,the International Labor Organization released a report on world employment trends,saying that the world economic crisis could cost about 50million jobs in2009.It also predicted that total global unemployment could reach230million this year,turning the global economic crisis into a job crisis.Statistics show that the situation in China is serious,with more than so million rural migrant workers facing job loss.Such high unemployment is not only an economic problem but also social one.“In recent years,salary income accounted for about40percent of the net income of farmers”, hen said,“So job loss among rural migrant workers will show down the growth of their total income.”To Chen,the most pressing issue for the government is to ensure the stable growth of agricultural production and farmers’income.The government has paid close attention to possible job loss among rural migrant works and has taken a series of measures to address this issue.The Ministry of Human Resources and social Security and two other ministries jointly launch a special vocational training plan.Under the plan, the government will provide free and equal vocational training to the unemployed,including unemployed rural migrant workers.The reemployment training is to last three to six months, depending on the local,situation and the personal characteristics of the unemployed person.61.Which is the best title for the passage?A.A Financial CrisisB.A Economic CrisisC.A Global CrisisD.A Job Crisis62.The word“idles”in the fifth line of the first paragraph

Leading Group,in China,how many rural migrant workers could lose their jobs?A.about25millionB.about130millionC.about50millionD.about230million64.We can infer that the less income of rural migrant workers will cause_____.A.a global problemB.an employment problemC.an unemployment problemD.a social problem65.The main measure taken by the government to work at the problem is to offer them_____.A.some money and foodB.some jobs opportunitiesC.some vocational trainingD.three to six months of free time第二卷（共60分，在答题纸上作答）Ⅰ.Matching（20分10题×2分）A.
