13、数：0，分数：0.00)AIt“s 8.00 am. James Butters gives 18-month-old Thomas his milk, then breakfast. After getting Thomas into his outdoor clothes, they head for the park to watch birds and play on the grass. With hitch time drawing near, they“re back home for an afternoon of drawing, playing with cars, may

14、be watching some children“s programs. James isn“t Thomas“ dad. He is a nanny (保姆)-a man nanny, obviously, interestingly termed a “manny“-specially trained and in his third nannying position. At 27, he cares for Thomas, and another boy of a similar age. “It“s much freer than an office job,“ he says,

15、“and you“re getting to see children develop and grow. You become very close to them, for sure. I don“t think I“m special or better than a woman nanny; everyone has their own method. But I“m unusual. Friends laughed when I started studying nursery nursing. In my class, I was the only man among 70 wom

16、en. Somehow, I made it,“ he said. Although it“s not yet common to find men in traditional (传统的) nannying courses, things are changing. In the United States, parents are employing young mannies, sometimes to care for babies, but more often as active role models to get junior away from the TV and the

17、computer. From rollerblading (轮滑) friends to summer swimming mannies, these are the big brothers who are always willing to play, largely because they“re paid for it. It is catching on here in Britain, too. Earlier this year, Nofland nanny college welcomed its first full-time man student, 19-year-old

18、 Peter Cummins in Wales. While some families find it difficult to accept the idea of a young man in a traditional nannying role, man nannies are increasingly popular.（分数：4.00）(1).Which of the following can be the best title for the text?（分数：1.00）A.Changes in TraditionB.A New Job for MenC.Mannies and

19、 Women NanniesD.Baby Boys and Their Mannies(2).What does James like about his job as a nanny?（分数：1.00）A.He has received encouragement from his friends.B.He can easily do better than women nannies.C.He has more freedom to plan his own work.D.He is allowed to try out unusual methods.(3).Why are young

21、er Cummins.C.Thomas.D.Norland.BFootball is, I suppose, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting and cheering for one side or the other. One of the most surprising things about

22、football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has photographs of them and knows the results of a large number of matches. He will tell you, with a great air o

23、f authority, who he expects will win such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age. Most schools in England take football seriouslymuch more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all-important(至关重要的) , and games left

24、for private arrangements. In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy“s mind with facts in a classroom; education also means character training; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where the boy has to learn

25、to work with others for his team, instead of working selfishly (自私地) for himself alone. The school therefore arranges games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game, it is good exercise for the body, it needs skill and a quick brain, it is popular and it is cheap: as a result, it is

26、the school“s favorite game in the winter.（分数：4.00）(1).In England football is a game enjoyed _.（分数：1.00）A.only by young peopleB.only by rich peopleC.only by boysD.by people of all ages and classes(2).There is a great difference between schools in England and those in Europe in that _.（分数：1.00）A.Europ

27、ean schools take football seriouslyB.European schools often arrange football matches for their pupilsC.schools in England care little about lessonsD.schools in England believe character training to be part of education(3).According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true of the football g

28、ame?（分数：1.00）A.It makes people selfish.B.It encourages cooperation.C.It is good for health.D.It is not expensive.(4).What is the author“s attitude towards the football game in England?（分数：1.00）A.Critical.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Doubtful.CIt doesn“t matter when or how long a person sleeps, but everyo

29、ne needs some rest to stay alive. That“s what all doctors“ thought, until they heard about Jercy Page. Jercy Page, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man by themselves. Jercy Page was ninety years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey.

30、 They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Jercy Page sleeping. Actually, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one. Th

31、e only rest that Jercy Page got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Page remembered some tal

32、k about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.（分数：3.00）(1).The main idea of this passage is that _.（分数：0.75）A.large numbers of people do not need sleepB.a person was found who actually didn“t need any sleepC.e

33、veryone needs some sleep to stay aliveD.people can live longer by trying not to sleep(2).The doctors came to visit Jerey Page, expecting_.（分数：0.75）A.to cure him of his sleeplessnessB.to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC.to find out wily some old people didn“t need any sleepD.to find a

35、75）A.his mother“s injured before he was bornB.that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC.his magnificent physical conditionD.that he hadn“t got a bedDThere are approximately three quarters of a ton of termites (白蚁) for every person on Earth. It now turns out that these critters may be help

36、ing to alter the climate and affect man“s life. For years scientists have been saying that carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere by the burning of fuels might lead to the rise in temperatures of the whole earth, owing to the greenhouse effect in which the gas prevents the escape of heat into outer

37、 space. Now an international team of researchers has discovered that termites generate more than twice the carbon dioxide that fuel burning does. And this production, which comes from the insects“ eating and consuming of different kinds of vegetables and wood, has risen greatly. This is chiefly beca

38、use man has cut so many trees in order to open more land and thus has provided large quantities of food for the insects in the form of tiny pieces of wood. The output from the burning of fuels is of greater concern, however, because it is continuing to rise steadily and so far no effective measures

39、have been taken to reduce the amount of carbon elements in this way. Production by termites, on the other hand, is not likely to increase much more.（分数：4.00）(1).From the passage we know that“ the greenhouse effect“ is an effect in which _ .（分数：1.00）A.low temperatures are created by using a houseB.th

40、e house is made green in order to keep heatC.heat is prevented from escaping outsideD.everything is kept green in a house(2).Which of the following consists of three words that refer exactly to the same thing in the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Climate, temperature, heat.B.Carbon dioxide, the gas, atmosphere.

41、C.Output, production, effect.D.Termites, critters, insects.(3).Which of the following sentences is true?（分数：1.00）A.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere carries heat into outer space so as to change the climate.B.Carbon dioxide may escape into the greenhouse so that the Earth will be made warmer.C.As car

42、bon dioxide keeps heat from escaping into outer space, the Earth may become warmer.D.Carbon dioxide may make the Earth warmer because it lets the heat escape into outer space.(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.It is the production by termites that is now of greater concern.

43、B.What scientists worry more about is the output from burning fuels.C.The output from burning fuels is now rising steadily.D.The burning of fuels generates much less carbon dioxide than termites do.EA man was mending a street lamp when he saw a pretty young woman and three children get into a car wh
