8、h三、BPart III Rea(总题数:5,分数:40.00)The dog has always been considered mans best friend. Always noted for being particularly faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on thesheep range (放牧区) , and beside the hunter in forest. He is easy to train, work
9、s hard, and often performs astonishing feats. And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive power, before being lately displaced by the plane and helicopter. Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and bel
10、ieved to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men. Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the hounds sensibility to peoples feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. His record of saving lives is
11、outstanding, for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master. The dogs major contribution, however, has been to medical research. Both his diet and his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject of countless demonstrations and
12、experiments. Open-heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the dog. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies (狂犬病) , distemper, and other diseases.(分数:8.00)(1).The dog has always been noted for _.(分数:2.00)A.protecting childrenB.assisting shep
13、herdsC.helping huntersD.herding cattle(2).In the polar regions, the dog mainly _.(分数:2.00)A.carried suppliesB.provided companionshipC.tracked preyD.herded caribou(驯鹿)(3).Dogs are similar to human beings in _.(分数:2.00)A.sizeB.structureC.temperamentD.appearance(4).The article does not say whether the
14、scientists experiments with dogs have _.(分数:2.00)A.benefited animals other than dogsB.served manC.helped other dogsD.contributed to medical knowledgeDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records a
15、s the worlds largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns. The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mount
16、ain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room“ ,many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry. For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but
17、it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered
18、by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.(分数:8.00)(1).The Lost Sea is unique because it is _.(分数:2.00)A.part of
19、 a historical cave systemB.the biggest underground lake in the worldC.listed in the Guinness Book of World Records?D.the largest body of water in Tennessee(2).Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?(分数:2.00)A.The Cherokee Indians.B.Tourists.C.Ben Sands.D.Scientists.(3).What was found in “The Counc
20、il Room“?(分数:2.00)A.A small natural opening.B.A large cave.C.Another series of rooms.D.Many old Indian objects.(4).It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as _.(分数:2.00)A.an underground testing siteB.an Indian meeting groundC.a tourist attractionD.a motor boat
21、race courseSpace is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment
22、 endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation. But their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a
23、 lot of radiation damage. Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem“. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is th
24、at it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damagea person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross be
25、lts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend we
26、eks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.(分数:8.00)(1).According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that _.(分数:2.00)
27、A.it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB.it provides sufficient light for plant growthC.it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD.it screens off the falling meteors(2).We know from the passage that _.(分数:2.00)A.exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB.the effect of
28、 exposure to radiation is slow in comingC.radiation is avoidable in space explorationD.astronauts in spacesuits neednt worry about radiation damage(3).It can be inferred from the passage that _.(分数:2.00)A.the Apollo mission was very successfulB.protection from space radiation is no easy jobC.astrona
29、uts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD.radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers(4).The best title for this passage would be _.(分数:2.00)A.The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB.Research on RadiationC.Effects of Space RadiationD.Importance of Protection Against RadiationMrs.
30、 Peters stopped playing the piano when she began to work. She had lived in a very small flat, and there had been no room for a piano. But when she married, she had a new flat which was big enough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her
31、parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday. Then she went to a shop and said, “Ill choose whichever piano does not cost too much and fits into my living room. When she had paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned (调音) every few months.
32、Mrs. Peters agreed. A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her hous
33、e like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully. It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived, everything was finished. She opened the door, and the man was standing there with a big dog. “Good morning,“ the man said politely, “Will
34、it disturb you if I bring my dog in, please?

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was
38、 used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, as early as the eleventh century B.C. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and authority. In the Fa
39、r East in ancient times the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrell
40、a as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and
41、 later on in England. By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made, i
42、n a whole variety of colours.(分数:8.00)(1).Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?(分数:2.00)A.No one exactly knows who was the inventor of the umbrella.B.The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.C.The umbrella changed much in style in the eight
43、eenth century.D.In Europe the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.(2).A strange feature of the umbrellas use is that it was used as(分数:2.00)A.protection against rainB.a shade against the sunC.a symbol of honour and powerD.a way of womens decoration(3).In Europe, the umbrella was
44、first used against the rain _.(分数:2.00)A.in ChinaB.in ancient EgyptC.in RomeD.in Greece(4).This passage talks mainly about _.(分数:2.00)A.how the umbrella was inventedB.why the umbrella was so popular in EuropeC.the development of the umbrellaD.who needed umbrella first四、BPart IV Cloz(总题数:1,分数:30.00)D
45、rawing a picture is the simplest way of putting an idea down on paper. That is 【C1】_ men first began to write six thousand years ago or 【C2】_. The alphabet we now use 【C3】_ down to us over a long period of time. It was developed from the picture-writing of ancient Egypt. Picture-writing was useful i
46、n many 【C4】_. It could be used to express ideas as well as 【C5】_. For example, a drawing of a 【C6】_ meant the object “man“. 【C7】_a drawing of a man lying on the ground with a spear in him meant 【C8】_“. Besides the Egyptians, the Chinese 【C9】_the American Indians also developed ways 【C10】_ writing in
47、 pictures. But only 【C11】_ much could be said this way. Thousands of pictures would have been needed 【C12】_ express all the ideas that people might have. It would have taken many thousand more to express all the objects 【C13】_ to men. No one could 【C14】_ so many pictures in a lifetime. Nor could any
48、one learn the meaning of all 【C15】_ drawings in a lifetime.(分数:30.00)(1).【C1】(分数:2.00)A.whenB.becauseC.whereD.how(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)A.overB.moreC.elseD.later(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)A.wentB.showedC.appearedD.came(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)A.sidesB.coloursC.waysD.meanings(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.storiesB.animalsC.objectsD.sub
