10、tion. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.（分数：8.00）_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(
11、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. Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending de
12、ath, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghost 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 sig
13、ns 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 and his structure are comparable to those of the human being,
14、 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) , distemper, and other diseases.（分数：8.00）(1).The dog has always
15、 been noted for_.（分数：2.00）A.protecting childrenB.assisting shepherdsC.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.tem
16、peramentD.appearance(4).The article does not say whether the 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 Lo
17、st Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as 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
18、 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 many years there were persistent
19、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 water. Today tourists visit the Lost S
20、ea 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 of it is still unknown.（分数：8.00）(

23、ndian meeting groundC.a tourist attractionD.a motor boat 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 mak
24、e 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 or the wa
25、lls 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 damaged; th
26、e 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 grandchil
27、dren. 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 do no
28、t 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.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the first paragrap

32、adiationD.Importance of Protection Against RadiationMrs. 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 husba
33、nd agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her 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 s
34、he would like him to 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 di
35、rt, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house 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
36、 a big dog. “Good morning,“ the man said politely, “Will it disturb you if I bring my dog in, please? I m blind, and he leads me wherever I go.（分数：8.00）(1).Mrs. Peters was soon able to buy a piano because_.（分数：2.00）A.her parents gave her all the money for itB.she saved enough money for itC.her husba

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun! No
40、body knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was 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
41、: it became a symbol of honour and authority. In the Far 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 belie
42、ved that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella 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 a
43、uthority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and 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 twen
44、tieth century that women s umbrellas began to be made, in 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 t
45、he sun.C.The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth 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.
46、a way of womens decoration(3).In Europe, the umbrella was 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.w
