9、passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 The dog has always been considered mans best friend. Always noted for being p
10、articularly faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on thesheep 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 motiv
11、e power, before being lately displaced by the plane and helicopter.Because he howls or 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 ghost invisible to men. Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in t
12、he hounds sensibility to peoples feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense 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 cont
13、ribution, however, has been to medical research. Both his diet and his structure are 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
14、his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies (狂犬病) , distemper, and other diseases.21 The dog has always been noted for_.（A）protecting children（B） assisting shepherds（C） helping hunters（D）herding cattle22 In the polar regions, the dog mainly_.（A）carried supplies（B） provided companionship（C

16、nowledge24 Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost 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
17、have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series 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 item
18、s discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent 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 u
19、nderground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea 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 te
20、ams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.25 The Lost Sea is unique because it is_.（A）part of a historical cave system（B） the biggest underground lake in the world（C） listed in the Guinness Book of World Records（D）the largest body of water in Tennessee2
21、6 Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?（A）The Cherokee Indians.（B） Tourists.（C） Ben Sands.（D）Scientists.27 What was found in “The Council Room“?（A）A small natural opening.（B） A large cave.（C） Another series of rooms.（D）Many old Indian objects.28 It can be inferred from the passage that the Craig
22、head Caverns presently serve as_.（A）an underground testing site（B） an Indian meeting ground（C） a tourist attraction（D）a motor boat race course28 Space 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
23、blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make 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
24、atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation. But their spacesuits or the walls 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 m
25、an can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the 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 no
26、t be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的) children or even grandchildren. 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 b
27、een reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not 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 effect
28、ive ones have been found so far.29 According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that _.（A）it protects him against the harmful rays from space（B） it provides sufficient light for plant growth（C） it supplies the heat necessary for human survival（D）it screens off the falling
29、meteors30 We know from the passage that_.（A）exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal（B） the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming（C） radiation is avoidable in space exploration（D）astronauts in spacesuits neednt worry about radiation damage31 It can be inferred from the passage
30、 that _.（A）the Apollo mission was very successful（B） protection from space radiation is no easy job（C） astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren（D）radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers32 The best title for this passage would be _.（A）The Atmosphere and Our Environm
31、ent（B） Research on Radiation（C） Effects of Space Radiation（D）Importance of Protection Against Radiation32 Mrs. 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 e
32、nough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband 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
33、paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she 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.
34、Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, 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 o
35、pened the door, and the man was standing there with 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.33 Mrs. Peters was soon able to buy a piano because_.（A）her parents gave her all the money for it（B） she s
36、aved enough money for it（C） her husband gave her the money（D）she saved some money and her relatives gave her the rest34 One morning,_.（A）a man was coming to repair her piano（B） Mrs. Peters received a telephone call from the shop（C） the piano was sent to her house at 10 o clock（D）Mrs. Peters was goin

38、e house（B） the piano tuner could see nothing in the house（C） the dog disturbed Mrs. Peters（D）the piano tuner always took the dog36 It seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was a
39、s 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 ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange t
40、hing 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 umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancie
41、nt 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 again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considere
42、d 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 style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight.
43、 It wasnt until the twentieth century that women s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colours.37 Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?（A）No one exactly knows who was the inventor of the umbrella.（B） The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection a
44、gainst the 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.38 A strange feature of the umbrellas use is that it was used as_.（A）protection against rain（B） a shade against the sun（C） a symbol of honour and p
45、ower（D）a way of womens decoration39 In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain_.（A）in China（B） in ancient Egypt（C） in Rome（D）in Greece40 This passage talks mainly about_.（A）how the umbrella was invented（B） why the umbrella was so popular in Europe（C） the development of the umbrella（D）wh
