17、 their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists“ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind o
18、f dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a grea
19、t deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where there is secure, but a dog is loyal to
20、its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over thre
21、e months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.（分数：12.50）(1).Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.50）A.You can always get help from the specialists.B.It is commo
22、n sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C.You should decide what kind of dog you want.D.Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.(2).What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?（分数：2.50）A.The color of the dog.B.The price of the dog.C.Whether the dog will
23、fit the environment.D.Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.(3).Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?（分数：2.50）A.It must be trained so that it won“t bite.B.It demands more food and space.C.It needs more love and care.D.It must be looked after care
24、fully.(4).Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?（分数：2.50）A.It“s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B.They are less likely to be shy with human beings.C.They are less likely to run away.D.It“s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.(5).The word “af
25、fection“ means _.（分数：2.50）A.loveB.effectC.tieD.relationship四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.50)In everyday usage “hot“ means “having a lot of heat“. Many people think that “cold“ is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true. Cold simply means “having very little heat“. Your life depend
26、s on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible. Since before the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has be
27、en able to release the sun“s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal and oil. And he has been able to use this heat. Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These are
28、 machines that change heat energy into mechanical energy. Engines can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible. Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were still wondering about the nature of heat. “What is it?“ they asked. Not until the
29、early years of the 19th century did they find the right answer.（分数：12.50）(1).In everyday usage, “hot“ means _.（分数：2.50）A.the weather is fine and it is summerB.one has a temperatureC.having a great deal of heatD.very little heat(2).Your life depends on heat. The sentence means _.（分数：2.50）A.in the col
30、d season human beings will dieB.one usually builds his life on fireC.the more heat one has, the betterD.it is impossible for man to live without heat(3).He has been able to release the sun“s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal and oil. From this sentence we know _.（分数：2.50）A.man can ge
31、t heat from things like wood., coal and oilB.man can not get the heat directly from the sunC.only wood, coal and oil have heatD.all the sun“s heat is trapped in things(4).Which of the following is true?（分数：2.50）A.Without engines civilization is impossible.B.Without engines we have no industrial civi
32、lization.C.Engine came before civilization.D.Engines came before man knew how to use heat.(5).From the last two sentences, we can see _.（分数：2.50）A.men have never found the nature of heatB.men found the nature of heat in the 17th centuryC.men found the nature of heat in the 19th centuryD.men found th
33、e nature of heat before the 19th century五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.50)Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to und
34、ergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purposeschool work, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the mo
35、re effective the writing, and the more rewarding. There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can ta
36、ke care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be diffi
37、cult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes, that his writing will be read. We want to arouse (引起) and hold the interest of the read
38、ers. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some “letters-to-be-read“ file or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.（分数：12.50）(1).In this passage, good
39、writing is compared to fine food because _.（分数：2.50）A.both writers and cooks have to work long hours every dayB.both are essential to lifeC.both are enjoyableD.both writers and cooks can earn a good living(2).A public “scribe“ (Para. 2) is _.（分数：2.50）A.a secretary who does your business or social wr
40、itingB.a machine that does writing for youC.a public school where writing is taughtD.a person who earns a living by writing for others(3).According to the passage, some managers don“t have to do any letter writing because _.（分数：2.50）A.they rely on quick notesB.they have a computer to do itC.they hav
41、e excellent secretariesD.they prefer making phone calls(4).According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some “letters-to-be-read“ file, _.（分数：2.50）A.it will receive immediate attentionB.it is likely to be neglectedC.it will be dealt with by the secretaryD.it is meant to be delivered soon(5
42、).The purpose of the author in writing this passage is _.（分数：2.50）A.to argue and demonstrateB.to comment and criticizeC.to interest and entertainD.to explain and persuade六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.50)Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet
43、. Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the world“s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there
44、 are certain advantages to being rich,“ says the 53-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work prospects. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can“t buy love.“ It can buy a lot of other things, however, and that“s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so
45、 much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence (娇惯) by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness. “But privileged children do have a better sense of their po
46、sitions in the world,“ adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured. The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. However, they will have a sense of isolation,“ warns Dr. Coles, “and they could suffer from the har
47、dship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.“ Today“s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of
48、 a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.（分数：12.50）(1).In his book The Privileged Ones , Dr. Coles implies that _.（分数：2.50）A.there are fewer problems in the rich family than the
49、 poor familyB.rich children live a life of separation from the worldC.rich children usually enjoy more love than poor childrenD.the quality of rich children“s family life may not be high(2).In the doctor“s view, _.（分数：2.50）A.there are both advantages and disadvantages to being richB.traveling a lot will be beneficial to childrenC.rich
