9、tions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 The dog has always been considered man s best friend. Always noted for being particularly faithful in watching over children, he also has his pla

10、ce by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on the sheep range(放牧区), and beside the hunter in forest. He is easy to train, works 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.B

11、ecause he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men. Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the hound s sensibility to people s feelings and his superior hearin

12、g ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. His record of saving lives is 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 an

13、d his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject of countless demonstrations and 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), dist

14、emper, and other diseases.21 The dog has always been noted for_.（A）protecting children（B） assisting shepherds（C） helping hunters（D）herding cattle22 In the polar regions, the dog mainly_.（A）carried supplies（B） provided companionship（C） tracked prey（D）herded caribou(驯鹿)23 Dogs are similar to human bei

16、 is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world s 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 nat

17、ion. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. 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

18、 many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but 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 wate

19、r.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered 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

20、of it is still unknown.25 The Lost Sea is unique because it is_.（A）part of a historical cave system（B） the biggest underground lake in the world（C） listed in the Guinness Book of World Records（D）the largest body of water in Tennessee26 Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?（A）The Cherokee Indians

22、 an Indian meeting ground（C） a tourist attraction（D）a motor boat race course28 Space 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 pla

23、nts to make the food which.we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment 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

24、 or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a 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 d

25、amaged:the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that 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 gra

26、ndchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts 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 d

27、o not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks 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.29 According to the first paragraph, the

28、 atmosphere is essential to man in that（A）it protects him against the harmful rays from space（B） it provides sufficient light for plant growth（C） it supplies the heat necessary for human survival（D）it screens off the falling meteors30 We know from the passage that_.（A）exposure to even tiny amounts o

29、f radiation is fatal（B） the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming（C） radiation is avoidable in space exploration（D）astronauts in spacesuits neednt worry about radiation damage31 It can be inferred from the passage that_.（A）the Apollo mission was very successful（B） protection from space r

30、adiation is no easy job（C） astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren（D）radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers32 The best title for this passage would be _.（A）The Atmosphere and Our Environment（B） Research on Radiation（C） Effects of Space Radiation（D）Importance of P

31、rotection Against Radiation32 Mrs. 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 h

32、er. She saved some money, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday.

33、get it tuned(调音)every few months. 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 whe

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 umbre

39、lla was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, as early as the eleventh century B.

42、, and later on in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.
