24、 Ms, at least according to conventional wisdom. But watching “Moose”, a friends five-pound Chihuahua, race around a living room after his sweet snack makes one wonder: Is chocolate truly poisonous to dogs Dogs and humans have similar tastes. But unlike humans, our companions experience dangerous eff
25、ects from eating chocolate it can poison them and in some cases is fatal. Chocolates danger to dogs depends on its quality. Chocolate is processed from the bitter seeds of the cocoa tree, which contain a family of compounds known as methylxanthines（一种衍生物） . This class of substances includes caffeine
26、 and the related chemical theobromine(可可碱 ). Chocolate contains a significant amount of theobromine and smaller amounts of caffeine. These chemicals can cause a dogs heart to race up to twice its normal rate, and some dogs may run around as if “they drank a gallon of espresso,” according to Hackett.
27、 Dogs are capable of handling some chocolate, but it depends on the animals weight and the type of chocolate it eats. Unsweetened baking chocolate contains more than six times as much theobromine as milk chocolate, although amounts vary between cocoa beans as well as different brands of chocolate. L
28、ess than four ounces of milk chocolate is potentially fatal for Moose and other small dogs. Around every confection-centered holiday Valentines Day, Easter and Christmas at least three or four dogs are hospitalized overnight in the animal medical center at Colorado State. But in 16 years, Hackett ha
29、s seen just one dog die from chocolate poisoning, and he suspects it may have had an underlying disease that made it more exposed to chocolates heart-racing effect. 1. The underlined expression “belly-up” probably means_. A. dead B. poisonous C. running around D. having a headache 2. All of the foll
30、owing are true EXCEPT_. A. chocolates danger to dogs depends on its quantity and quality B. people buy lots of chocolate around Valentines Day C. an ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate is safe for Moose D. there must be some theobromine or caffeine in espresso 3. What can we learn about Hackett A.

A. chocolate is truly deadly to dogs B. its OK to give chocolate to a big dog C. pets are usually ignored around

33、【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 D 【小题 5】 D Are some people born clever， and others born stupid Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of educat
34、ion can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches t
35、hose limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent
36、. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents an
37、d children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We wo
38、uld soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligen
39、ce. 46. The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him_. A. at birth B. through education C. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth nor through education 47. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_. A. become a genius B. still become a genius if
40、he should be given special education C. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings D. not reach his intelligence in his life 48. In the second paragraph, the underlined sentence means“if we _.” A. pick any two persons B. take out two different persons C. choose two persons who are relative D
41、.choose two persons with different intelligence 49. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_. A. the importance of their intelligence B. the role of environment on intelligence C. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays 50. The best tit
42、le of the passage can be_. A. Surroundings B. Intelligence C. Dependence on Environment D. Effect of Education 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 B 【小题 5】 B A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical
43、history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors or of
44、 people very different from our own can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books. In history books, objective(客观的 ) information about the political lif
45、e of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective(主观的 ): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting Th
46、e Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picassos Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco
47、, and David Alfaro Siqueiros as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez depicted these Mexican artists deep anger and sadness about social problems. In the same way, art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that
48、existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldnt read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Midd
49、le East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy(不圣洁的 ). 1. More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because art history _. A. shows us the religious beliefs and emotions of a people in addition to political values B. provides us with information about the daily activities of people in the past
