Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the p
16、assages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.35 The dog has always been considered man s best friend. Always noted for being particularly faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the firesid
17、e, 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.Because he howls o
18、r 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 hearing ability and sen
19、se 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 and his structure a
20、re 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), distemper, and other
21、 diseases.36 The dog has always been noted for, _.（A）protecting children（B） assisting shepherds（C） helping hunters（D）herding cattle37 In the polar regions, the dog mainly _.（A）carried supplies（B） provided companionship（C） tracked prey（D）herded caribou(驯鹿)38 Dogs are similar to human beings in _.（A）s

23、ther than dogs（B） served man（C） helped other dogs（D）contributed to medical knowledge40 Among the question of design, construction, and operation remaining to be solved before commercial airliners travel faster than sound is the difficult problem of sonic boom (声震) , the explosive sound generated whe
24、n an object moves through the air at supersonic speed(超音速).A sound is a pressure disturbance: a sonic boom, like other explosive sounds, is the result of an abrupt change in pressure. An airplane in subsonic flight produces weak changed in pressure, but because these disturbances travel at the speed
25、 of sound, they move faster than the airplane and stay in front of it. In effect, these disturbances warn the air to get out of the way, and the an does just jet, however, gets ahead of its own pressure disturbances. Consequently a wave of suddenly com pressed air-a shock wave-builds up and is throw
26、n off like the wave ;hat spreads from the bow of a speedboat.Can sonic booms be eliminated? The answer is a categorical negative-they are an innerent(内在的) part of supersonic flight-but the sonic boom probably can be reduced; government and private research is now under way to improve understanding o
27、f the sonic boom. If and when the booms can be reduced to tolerable levels, commercial supersonic transports can come rata service.41 Before commercial airliners travel faster than sound, problems must 0e solved regarding _.（A）design（B） Construction（C） operation（D）all of the above42 A sonic boom is
28、like every sound in that it is _.（A）explosive（B） caused by compressed tar（C） a pressure disturbance（D）shock wave43 Subsonic flight does not produce a sonic boom, because it _.（A）does not disturb existing pressures（B） stays behind its disturbance（C） does not produce great enough changes in pressure（D
29、）stays ahead of its disturbance44 Research is under way to _.（A）discover what causes the sonic boom（B） find a means of eliminating the sonic boom（C） produce the sonic boom at low altitudes（D）reduce the sonic boom to tolerable levels45 An appropriate title for this passage would be _.（A）The Sonic Boo
30、m（B） Air and Its Effects（C） Faster Than Sound（D）Problems Facing Aviation Today45 There was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Eithe
31、r way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.You can t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in soc
32、ial attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and youre likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and shell probably insist on paying her share of the bill.It s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the g
33、estures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46 What do gentlemen now do when a lady gets
34、on a crowded bus or train?（A）They will stand up reluctantly.（B） They will offer her their seats after a while.（C） They will pretend not to see her.（D）They will get off the bus.47 Which of the following statements is true?（A）Men have become less and less polite to women.（B） The women are thought of a
35、s the weaker sex.（C） The women could not open doors for themselves.（D）Men s attitudes towards women are reasonable.48 Why are some women likely to get angry as a man holds the door open for them?（A）Because the man should not hold the door open.（B） Because they think they are looked down upon.（C） Bec
36、ause they are treated too politely.（D）Because men often offend women in this manner.49 What is replacing men s gestures of politeness?（A）More graceful politeness towards women.（B） More consideration for women s needs and feelings.（C） More equal treatment to women in every respect.（D）More impolite ge
37、stures of social behavior to women.50 What can we learn from this passage?（A）Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.（B） Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards men.（C） Women have achieved equality with men.（D）Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.50 Mrs. P
38、eters 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 her. She saved some money, and her p
39、arents 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 she would like him to get it tuned(调音) every few months. Mrs
40、. 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 whenever strange people saw her house li
41、ke 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 a big dog. “Good morning,“ the man said politely, “Will it di
42、sturb you if I bring my dog in, please?

But actually the umbrella
46、 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 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 a
47、ncient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: 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 um
48、brella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed 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 a gain in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. 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 st
