25、und that bar at last. I didnt have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the windowStar Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar. They were all
26、 in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stiffing. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically (无精打采地) with magazines.“Hes not here,“ I said, after a quick look around. The television
27、 was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent (洗衣粉), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how White her husbands underwear was after having been washed. They took no notice of us at all.“Well, what did you expect?“ replied Fergus, yawning (

31、ig was always late（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.BMost people have had a dog or wanted one as 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 your house. Specialists (专用)
32、 advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense.Different dogs were 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 charact
33、eristics. You must also be ready to devote (投入) a great 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 thei
34、r place where there is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The first consideration in buying a dog is whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and
35、 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 three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into th
36、e world to become good pets.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?AYou can always get help from the specialists.BIt is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.CYou should decide what kind of dog you want.DSize and characteristics of the dogs sho

40、eaths and $1.5 billion in damage in the United States. They account for 15 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe. And in December, a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars and cement (水泥) can help prev
41、ent disasters, but it introduces new difficulties. Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris (岩屑). “Its quite a risky job,“ says Giorgio Pezzuto of DAppolonia, an engineering company in Italy.DAppolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer: a three-ton
42、 robot called Roboclimber. “The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a human being on board,“ says Pezzuto, the manager for the project, which is supported by the European Commission. Engineers claim that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a
43、large radio-controlled four-legged mechanical spider, has cost at least $2 million so far. The final product should be able to climb unstable mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement, and collect data on the stability. Testing should begin in May.（分数：4.00）(1).The underlined word “event“ (P

47、makers research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise. Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency (频率)
48、 mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle (周期), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise killing systems (系统) both inside and outside the cars.Another good thing about the use of noise killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer; this not only reduces t
