Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings. T
14、hey point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of frui
15、t as a reward. The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them. Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making
16、a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near. But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories. In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory. When the pigeon see
17、s a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak. This turns on a light to warn people in the factory. At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward. It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3000 to 4000 balls an hour

The man“s name is James Bartley. The records to prove his unusual experience are
22、 in the British Admiralty. Bartley was making his first trip on the whaling ship Star of the East. Suddenly the lookout sighted a huge sperm whale. The whalers knew it was a huge whale by the size of the spray it blew into the air. They lowered their small boats. James Bartley was in the first longb
23、oat. The men rowed until they were close to the whale. A harpoon was thrown and it found its mark. It sank into the whale“s flesh. The maddened beast crashed into the boat, snapping its tail at the men and the wreckage of their boats. When the survivors were picked up, James Bartley was missing. Sho
24、rtly before sunset, the whale was finally captured. The sailors tied the whale“s dead body to the side of the ship. Because of the hot weather it was important that they cut up the whale fight away. Otherwise, the meat would begin to rot and oil would begin to spoil. When they got to the stomach, th
25、ey felt something moving about wildly. They thought it would be a big fish still alive inside. But when they opened the stomach they found James Bartley. After this trip, Bartley settled in England, and never returned to sea.（分数：12.00）(1).This passage is mainly about _.（分数：3.00）A.how to hunt whales
26、for their oil and meatB.The hard and dangerous lives that whalers had to liveC.The duties of each man on a whaling shipD.a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived(2).The sailors knew that something was in the whale“s stomach because _.（分数：3.00）A.they could feel it moving about wildlyB.The whale s
27、eemed very heavyC.The whale was swelling at one spotD.The captain heard Bartley yelling for help(3).James Bartley probably never went to sea again because _.（分数：3.00）A.he wanted different kinds of adventuresB.of fright and shockC.he was crippled by the whaleD.he often got seasick(4).The author, in t
28、elling James Bartley“s story, informs us by _.（分数：3.00）A.narrating the plain factsB.referring to whaling in generalC.comparing whaling to other fishingD.dramatically telling what happenedYou get all sorts of demands, and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding su
29、rprised. If a guest asks for rubber glover(手套), you don“t ask why. You say, “No problem. What colour do you want?“ There have been some demands which, much as I would have liked to fill, I couldn“t. A Japanese businessman, for example, thought the manager of a hotel was like the captain of a ship so
30、 he asked me to marry him and the woman he loved. There was one time, however, we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz she would say yes. He asked us to pt the ring in a cake, and she accepted. Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They a
31、re used for doing business. If you“ve got something to sell, take your clients(客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say “ good morning, Mr. Smith“ when he walked through the door w
32、ith two other men. This he did , and could hear Mr. Smith saying, “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place.“ According to Julian Payne, the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters, who carry bags for hotel guests. “Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the be
33、st restaurants tickets for a popular concert. Don“t ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don“t know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day
34、 off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago.“（分数：12.00）(1).When guests ask for something strange, the manager of a good hotel would think _.（分数：3.00）A.how he can meet their needsB.why they have such demandsC.what problems the hotel hasD.who is the best person to go
35、to(2).Which of the following examples explains “we did help out“?（分数：3.00）A.The hotel bought a ring for a young lady.B.A Japanese married the woman he loved.C.The manager once acted as a captain.D.A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend.(3).By saying “I do wish they would leave me alone at this p
36、lace, “ Mr. Smith .（分数：3.00）A.showed that he disliked such people at the hotelB.gave the impression that he was a constant guestC.tried to make his clients feel sorry for himD.sounded as if he was tired of such greetings(4).Why are the porters considered the most powerful people in expensive hotels?
37、（分数：3.00）A.they sell tickets for converts.B.they can complete difficult tasks.C.they know the history of hotels.D.They usually work in a hotel for a long time.The strange close understanding between twins, is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each other
38、“s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication. What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as brake on twins“ intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do
39、 other children. The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in an underprivileged family, a one-parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway. Such children, while capable of
40、mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic par
41、ents and teachers.（分数：12.00）(1).Many people don“t know that _.（分数：3.00）A.twins understand each other very wellB.twins are slow to learn to talkC.twins are unlikely to do less well at school than other childrenD.there exists more communication between twins(2).What“s the reason for twins to be at a d
42、isadvantage in their intellectual development?（分数：3.00）A.They can only understand their own private language.B.They communicate with outsiders less than non-twins.C.There is little stimulation for them.D.Adults don“t like to talk with them.(3).The author probably feels that twins“ problem _.（分数：3.00
43、）A.can not be solved because solution is very cruelB.can be solved because twins will be separatedC.can not be solved unless the twins are forced to live in an ordinary environmentD.can be solved if the adults communicate with them more often(4).The writer mentions all of the items listed below EXCE
44、PT _.（分数：3.00）A.twins can help each otherB.twins share each other“s emotionC.twins are able to understand each other in a private languageD.twins communicate less with their parentsCouples are restricting the size of their families in the UK because of cash worries brought on by the financial crisis
45、 and the subsequent decline. We“re now up to nearly 3.7 million families where there is an only child, a rise from about 3.3 million in 2005. That means nearly half of all parents have only one child. Financial worries aren“t the only driver. The trend towards later motherhood has been mentioned as
46、a cause, as have soaring costs of raising a child, which have been calculated as 222,500 from birth to 21 years of age. This is an increase of nearly 40% in 10 years. The increasing availability of IVF (试管婴儿) is also a factor and an interesting one. Couples who might have remained childless in the p
47、ast now invest in IVF and get pregnant. And because of the cost they stop after one child. It may not be a bad thing; there are outstanding examples of talented only children. Some argue that being an only child promoted their success. These include actors Natalie Portman and Al Pacino, golfer Tiger
48、 Woods and even Queen Victoria. A study from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex also showed that the fewer brothers and sisters a child has, the happier they are. It seems fighting for parental attention and affectionwhich sometimes descends into physical fight
49、sis more stressful than any adult had previously thought. And it“s not compensated (弥补) by having a playmate.（分数：12.00）(1).The smaller size of UK families is mainly related to _.（分数：3.00）A.health problemsB.financial problemsC.cultural problemsD.technical problems(2).The passage shows that IVF is _.（分数：3.00）A.very expensiveB.safer than natural pregnancyC.a risky investmentD.very popular in UK(3).What is a proved advantage of one-child family?
