16、 18】 D 【小题 19】 A 【小题 20】 B 阅读理解 There is a very special wolf that lives in Africa. They are actually called, the African wild dog, of painted dogs. These animals live in open woodlands, or in the plains of Africa. Today, however, most of the animals can be found in eastern or southern Africa. These
17、animals are beautiful. They have rounded ears instead of pointed like most dogs, and they have four toes (脚趾 ) on each of their four feet, also a unique characteristic because other dogs have five. Their fine fur is always different from each other. The fur is usually a combination of black, brown,
18、red, and white, and sometimes even yellow. No wonder theyre called the painted wolf. The African wild dog is a very social animal. They live in groups and have numbers from five to about twenty. The members of a group are always very close to one another. They communicate in their own language or bo
19、dy language. When someone is very old or sick, the others will help, and they are willing to share the food with the elders and with those who are weak, which is what we should learn from. The family does everything together, from raising young, to sleeping together, to hunting. When they hunt, they
20、 will work together suing team work to kill animals that are larger than them. They sometimes hunt farm animals. This is unfortunate, because both poachers (偷猎者 ), and people who own farms shoot the painted dogs who are just trying to survive. Before, there used to be many large groups throughout th
21、e land, but now the African wild god is very rare. They are also losing their population because of their own loss of habitat thanks to humans farming and forest cutting. 【小题 1】 From the text we learn that the African wild dog . A lives in the north of Africa B has sixteen toes altogether C has poin

25、题 4】 B 【小题 5】 C Most people consider skydiving (高空跳伞 ) a product of the 20th century, but its history actually goes further back than that. The Chinese attempted to parachute (跳伞 ) in the 10th century, a thousand years before we did. The Chinese did what we would today call base diving; that is, the
26、y jumped off a place that would allow them to float from a height to the ground. The first person to attempt to parachute was a Frenchman named Jacques Garnerin. He jumped from his hot-air balloon at the end of the 18th century and did tricks on the way down and stupefied the crowds by landing safel
27、y on the ground. At the end of the 19th century, Kathie Paulus, a brave German woman, became famous for her skydiving skills. Once the airplane was invented, skydiving took on a whole new form. The airplane made it possible to dive from greater heights at greater speeds, allowing for more range in t
28、he movements in the air. A woman named Tiny Broadwick became the first woman to jump from a plane in 1913 and dive free fall in 1914. Skydiving was not called skydiving until the middle of the 1950s, when Ronald Young invented the word. It had been called parachuting before this and was mainly used
29、by the military (军事 ) to land troops in inland locations, or for pilots to jump out of their planes when necessary. Once World War I was over, parachuting became a sport, which we now call skydiving. After World War II, this activity became more a hobby than a military action. Soldiers were trained
30、in parachuting and enjoyed the thrill so much that they continued on for fun. From this, teams and competitions were formed. Skydiving schools appeared in the late 1950s and now it is a recognized extreme sport enjoyed by many. 【小题 1】 The underlined word “stupefied” in paragraph 2 probably means “_”

32、came popular after the airplane was invented. C The word skydiving was first used in a military action.

34、 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 B 【小题 5】 A Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start their chores (杂事 ), or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions. Before you know it, youve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments
35、, clean their room, or take out the trash. Rather than saying, “Do your chores now,” youll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing about starting chores, just say, “If chores arent done by 4 p. m., here are the consequences.” Then it
36、s up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Dont argue or fight with them, just say, “Thats the way its going to be.” It shouldnt be punitive (惩罚性的 ) as much as it should be persuasive. “If your chores arent done by 4 p. m., then no video game time until chores are d
37、one. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, thats going to be your loss.” On the other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it very simple. Have a time when homework starts, and at that time, all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If
38、 your child says they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read. Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off. When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when youre trying to talk to him, make no bones about it； he is not ignoring you, he is disrespe
39、cting you. At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Dont try to communicate with him when hes wearing headphoneseven if he tells you he can hear you. Wearing them while youre talking to him is a sign of disrespect. Parents should be very tough about thi
40、s kind of thing. Remember, mutual respect becomes more important as children mature. 【小题 1】 According to the passage, it seldom happens that_. A kids turn a deaf ear to their parents requests B parents directions sound like a broken record C children are ready to follow their parents directions D pa
41、rents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids 【小题 2】 Parents will be able to deal with their child more effectively if they _.

A should provide him with a good learning environment B can do whatever they like C can stay aside watching TV D must switch off the power 【小题 4】 It can be inferred from the passage that_. A parents should take off their headphones when trying to have a t
43、alk with their child B it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents C parents shouldnt give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respect D kids purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control 【小题 5】 The main idea

45、 4】 C 【小题 5】 D Half a century after the March of Dimes (a US charity organization that collects money for children) put the 20th centurys most feared childhood disease on the road to eradication (根除 ), Bill Gates declared polio (小儿麻痹症 ) his important job and challenged world leaders to finish the jo
46、b. India, Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan now have active transmission (传播 ) of the disease. Gates says the biggest problem with the success of the Global Polio Eradication program in those countries and elsewhere is lack of money. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plans to increase its $200 m
47、illion annual contribution (每年的捐款 ) by $102 million this year, Gates says. Gates recently met privately with Pakistans President in Washington, D.C., to try to persuade him to provide full support for Pakistans eradication plan. Children in the USA also are at risk, experts say. Parents who dont vac
48、cinate (给某人接种疫苗 ) their children because they are fearful of vaccine side-effects create a large number of children who are likely to be harmed by the virus. “If you increase the number of unvaccinated children, you increase the chance that this virus will find new subjects,” says David Oshinsky, Pulitzer Prized-winning author of Polio: An American Story. “Weve got to get this vaccine into the mouths of children,” says Bruce Aylward, head of the World Health Organ
