四、阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个正确答案，并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。（每题2分，共20分） 短文理解1 PAT the Dog Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT ( Pets As Therapy) dogs.Doctors and nurses are recognizing the benefits of pets more and more – particularly
for children, people with mental illnees and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to.One hospital reported that a man with a mental illne, who hadn’t spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital. There are many other “working dogs”.There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind.Disabled people benefit greatly.Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month.Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair.But his life has altered dramatically since he got a god, Te, from the charity “Dogs for the Disabled”.“She helps me to get dreed, and she brings me my socks and shoes.She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she paes me the phone when it rings.I feel so much better too.It’s like having a really good friend.She comes with me to hospital.Once, she saved my life.I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour.He gave me an insulin injection.” 26.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the paage? ___B_________ A.All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients.B.Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.C.Doctors and nurses doubt if pets can bring comfort to the patients.D.Doctors and nurses are aware pets will bring benefits to all the patients.27.Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT ____C________.A.children B.people with mental illne C.the elderly people who live alone D.the elderly people who have to live apart from their pets 28.The first sentence of Para.2 suggests ____D________.A.touching and playing with a pet makes people nervous and anxious B.pets can make people become quiet and attentive C.people feel uncomfortable when they touch and play with a pet D.people feel relaxed and hopeful when they touch and play with a pet 29.The dog helps Alan do the following EXCEPT ____D_______.A.She helps her get dreed B.She accompanies her to the hospital C.She gets the newspaper for her D.She picks up the phone for her 30.The sentence “when I was going to a comma” means that ____C_______.A.when I got hungry B.when I felt asleep
C.when I became unconscious D.when I fell down on the floor 短文理解 2 A funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we stopped talking to each other. I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation.There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and – poof! I was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation. The part was filled with people talking on their cell phones.They were paing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs.It seems that the limitle electronic voice is preferred to human contact. The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people feel absent.Recently I was in a car with three friends.The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone.There we were, four friends driving down the high way, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closene of human interaction.With e-mail and instant meage over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine. As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional distance index goes up.Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the aistant when you can swipe your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can put your card into the ATM? More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk.The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier. I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account.Giving them up isn’t a choice.They are great for what they are intended to do.It’s their unintended results that make me upset.What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear you crying out “Gee whiz”? 31.The author’s experience of walking in a park with a friend recently made him feel ___A_______.A.unhappy B.funny C.sunny D.wonderful 32.According to the author, human contact in a park means ___D_______.A.looking at each other and saying hello when paing B.noticing their babies and stopping to pat their dogs C.talking on the mobile phone and getting connected with the other people D.both A and B 33.According to the author, the more connected we get in communications technology, the ___C_____ we are.
A.more automatic B.easier C.more disconnected D.closer 34.What are the examples the author gives to explain his idea that every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closene of human interaction?____D_____ A.With e-mail and instant meage over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.B.With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.C.If his mom has a question, he just leaves the answer on her machine.D.All of the above 35.What is the unintended result of communication technology, according to the author?__B_______ A.It makes communication easier and conversation poible everywhere/ B.It actually creates a distance between people instead of bringing them together.C.It makes every contact between human beings automatic and makes people feel connected.D.It makes human contacts limitle with electronic voices everywhere.
五、阅读下列短文，并根据短文内容判断其后的句子是正确（T），错误（F），还是文字中没有涉及相关信息（NG）。（每题2分，共10分） 短文理解3 The ancient Olympic Games were part of a religious festival in honour of the Greek god Zeus, the father of all Greek gods and goddees.The festival and games were held in Olympia, a religious sanctuary.The athletes came to Olympia from all parts of the Greek world, from as far as Spain in the west and Turkey in the east. The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 766 BC when Koroibos, a cook from the city of Elis, won a 200-metre-long race.They took place for a period of 617 years until the last games were held in AD 393. In the ancient games, athletes received prizes worth large amounts of money.In fact the word “athlete” is an ancient Greek word, meaning “one who competes for a prize”.Although women did not compete in the games, there was a separate festival held at the same time in honour of Hera, wife of Zeus.At this festival unmarried girls competed in foot races. The marathon was not an event of the ancient Olympic Games.The marathon is a modern event that was first introduced in the Olympic Games in 1896.It was named after a village called Marathon where the Persians were defeated by a small Greek army.The news of the victory was brought to Athens by soldier, who ran the 26 miles from the village of Marathon to the capital.26 miles was therefore adopted as the distance of the modern marathon race. The Olympic flag was introduced in 1908 and carries the symbol of five linked rings.Which represent the five continents --- Africa, America, Asia, Australasia and Europe.The Olympic flame was first carried in the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.There was no torch relay in the ancient Olympic Games.The first torch relay in the modern Olympic Games was staged in Berlin in 1936.36.The ancient Greeks held the first Olympic Games in 617 BC.（F） 37.The ancient Greeks held the Olympic Games for 393 years.(F) 38.They did not allow women to compete in the ancient Olympic Games.(T)

四、阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个正确答案，并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。（每题2分，共20分） 短文理解1 People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pullution.Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial substances into the
environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea. Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts.In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste.Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can’t be reused.This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of gla, metal and paper.Advertising has helped this proce by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unneceary buying, exce use and carele disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.26.The main cause of pollution is ___A_______.A.the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment B.the production of new industrial goods C.increased amounts of a natural substance D.our ever-increasing population 27.Much of the pollution could be controlled if only ___C______.A.people would pay more attention to the problem B.governments would take effective measures C.all sides concerned would make more efforts D.farmers would use le artificial fertilizers 28.Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause _____B________.A.air and water pollution B.both a litter problem and a waste of resources C.to pay for the service D.to produce the receipt 29.Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?____B______ A.Cutting out unneceary buying B.Eating C.Reduce exce use D.Carefully dispose our daily products 30.What does the underlined word ‘ litter” mean in paragraph 2?____C_________ A.not many B.serious problem C.bits of waste things D.industrial pollution 短文理解2 Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, “London is not a city, it it a
nation.” Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world.The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity.Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean—Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Ruian—Irish couples.None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of Britain’s ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also.They are “ skilled cro-cultural travellers’ without leaving their home-town.31.Why does the writer think that Bejamin Disraeli’s statement is an understatement?___D_______ A.part of the world B.even larger than some coutries in the world C.not a nation at all D.a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversity 32.London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the following facts EXCEPT that ___D______.A.within 10 years 40% Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups B.most of Britain’s ethnic minority groups live in London speaking over 300 languages.C.London accommodates about 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers from many other countries D.many young people are immigrants from different baqckgrounds 33.Ethnic minority groups will make up __B_______ of the London population in the future.A.36% B.40% C.39% D.36% 34.The last paragraph mainlu tells us in London ___D________.A.young people are from different backgrounds B.young people are raised in a multicultural environment C.young people find it hard to adapt themselves to hybrid cultures D.young people feel at ease with a large number of diversified cultures 35.The paage mainly deals with _____C________.A.the advantage of hybrid cultures in London B.the composition of the population in London
