15、 Always noted for being particularly faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, 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

16、 once the principal motive 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 ghosts invisible to men. Actually, the basis

17、for these beliefs lies in the hound“s sensibility to people“s 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 h

18、is master. The dog“s major contribution, 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

19、. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies (狂犬病), distemper, and other diseases.（分数：12.00）(1).The dog has always been noted for _.（分数：3.00）A.protecting childrenB.assisting shepherdsC.helping huntersD.herding cattle(2).In the polar regions, the dog mainly _.

It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world“s largest underground lake. The Lost S

22、ea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns. The caverns 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

23、 a room called “The Council Room“, many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items 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

24、 thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. 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 w

25、ater have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.（分数：12.00）(1).The Lost Sea is unique because it is _.（分数：3.00）A.part of a historical cave systemB.the biggest undergrou

28、s 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 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. Variou

29、s 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 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

30、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 man 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

31、 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 not 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 radiat

32、ion and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been 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 out

33、side the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory.

34、 against the harmful rays from spaceB.it provides sufficient light for plant growthC.it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD.it screens off the falling meteors(2).We know from the passage that _.（分数：3.00）A.exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB.the effect of exposure to radi

35、ation is slow in comingC.radiation is avoidable in space explorationD.astronauts in spacesuits needn“t worry about radiation damage(3).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：3.00）A.the Apollo mission was very successfulB.protection from space radiation is no easy jobC.astronauts will have de

36、formed children or grandchildrenD.radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers(4).The best title for this passage would be _.（分数：3.00）A.The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB.Research on RadiationC.Effects of Space RadiationD.Importance of Protection Against Radiation八、Passage Four(总题数：1

37、，分数：12.00)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 enough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some m

38、oney, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday. Then she went to a shop and said, “I“ll 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) ev

39、ery 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. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever strange peo

40、ple 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 opened the door, and the man was standing there with a big dog. “Good morning,“ the man said

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against

45、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 thing connected wi

46、th 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 ancient Greece. But i

47、t 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 considered a symbol of p

48、ower 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. It wasn“t unt
