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, and beside the hunter or blin

18、d. He is easy to train, works hard, and often performs astonishing feats. And in the frozen polar regions, he was once the principal motive power, before being largely replaced by the plane and helicopter.Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have

19、 supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to people. Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the dogs sensitivity to peoples feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. H

20、is record of saving lives is outstanding, for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.The dogs 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 c

21、ountless demonstrations and experiments. Open-heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the dog. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病), distemper, and other diseases.41 The dog has always been noted for_.（A）protecting children（B） assis

22、ting shepherds（C） helping hunters（D）herding a cattle42 The dog is useful to herders because he is_.（A）loyal（B） easily trained（C） hard working（D）all of the above43 The dog probably whines in the presence of death because he can_.（A）see ghosts and spirits（B） give warning of danger（C） sense unhappiness

24、than dogs（B） served people（C） helped other dogs（D）contributed to medical knowledge45 The old advertising slogan, “So simple a child can do it“, has taken on new meaning for me. A few weeks ago I got a computer, but I am mechanically illiterate. I knew that children had no fear of the future, so that

25、 seemed a good place to seek help. I asked my nephew, twelve years old, at an elementary school, to help me.My nephew took the machine for granted and has simply accepted the fact that computers are now a way of life. He plays with them and does his homework on them and even creates programs for the

26、m. I, on the other hand, am terrified by what this equipment can do. It can interchange paragraphs, switch words around and even correct my spelling. It informs me of its limitations, takes commands and asks questions. It even seems to have a sense of communication. Rather than accusing me of making

27、 an error, it prints “ One of us has made a mistake!“ It never gets tired and is always patient and ready to go when I am.I think it was somewhat normal for me to be suspicious of computers. They represent a break with some very familiar habits and traditions. It is only human to instinctively avoid

28、 anything that shifts thoroughly from the acceptable, comfortable past. But the world is governed by ceaseless change and we must therefore establish links with the present and future as well as the past. Computer technology is an excellent case in point, as the newest systems grow out of date in on

29、ly a few years, or even months.This ability to see, experience and accept the new is one of our saving characteristics. To be fearful of tomorrow, to close ourselves to possibilities, to resist the inevitable, to advocate standing still when all else is moving forward, is to lose touch. If we accept

30、 the new with joy and wonder, we can move gracefully into each tomorrow. More often than not, the children shall lead us.46 What is the new meaning of“ So simple a child can do itfor the author?（A）Computers are so easy to operate that even a child can play them well.（B） A child can always do more co

31、mplex things than an adult.（C） It is easier for a child to accept new things than for an adult.（D）A child has greater ability than an adult in operating computers.47 According to the second paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?（A）The nephew believed that machines were made for people

32、 to do whatever they wanted.（B） The nephew thought it was just natural to accept computers as a way of life.（C） Computers are not only used to communicate, but also to remove their limitations.（D）It is a fact that both adults and children have taken computers for granted.48 What doesnt the authors c

33、omputer do among the following?（A）It takes commands and asks questions.（B） It tells the author that everybody has his own limitations.（C） It corrects the authors spelling mistakes.（D）It informs the author of his mistakes.49 According to the third paragraph, it is human nature that we resist those th

34、ings which_.（A）establish links with the present and future as well as the past（B） grow out of date in only a few years, or even months（C） represent some familiar habits and traditions（D）change completely from the acceptable and comfortable past50 According to the author, we will fall behind the time

35、s if we_.（A）are fearful of tomorrow and resist the inevitable（B） are unable to see, experience and accept the new（C） insist on standing still when all else is moving forward（D）all of the above50 Most American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in the West Americ

36、a. They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have to do the same regular work, they will try to do in different ways. Repetition and monotony are what they cant stand.In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for i

37、ts straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hatshats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.One day there came a young tourist who entered a millinery shop and found a very nice hat costing five dollars

38、. He said to the shop-keeper, “If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, Id like to buy two hundred hats of this style. “ “ No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style. “ The tourist could not understand.“Hows that?“Well, “said the shop-keeper, “I

39、f you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different style, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So you should at least pay me doub

40、le price. “51 The story tells us_.（A）that the American people dont want to do the same work again and again（B） how to buy a hat（C） that the straw hats were sold only in the mountain village（D）the price will be cheaper if you buy a lot of hats of the same style52 How much did the nice hat cost?（A）Ten

41、 dollars were paid.（B） It cost five dollars.（C） They were five dollars.（D）It cost at least ten dollars.53 The answer of the shop-keeper really made the tourist _.（A）frightened（B） puzzled（C） shocked（D）amused54 Why did the shop-keeper demand the tourist to pay him double price for two hundred hats of

42、the same style?（A）The shop-keeper couldnt make two hundred hats of the same style.（B） The shop-keeper hadnt enough straw to make the hats.（C） The shop-keeper didnt want to sell him so many hats.（D）The shop-keeper couldnt stand repeating the same work endlessly.55 “It will bore me almost to death“mea

43、ns_.（A）that the shop-keeper was dying（B） that the shop-keeper was bored and would die at once（C） that it would be too long and tiring for the shop-keeper（D）it would tire out55 Many people in the United States are concerned about the foods they eat every day. They now know that what they eat every da

44、y affects their health, but they also wonder about some studies that show people in France have 40% less heart disease than Americans. A recent study, however, shows that the food French people eat now does not help them live longer. Researchers say the reason for their longer life is because of the

45、 food they ate in the past. Books and movies about the French people show them eating fatty foods and drinking a lot of wine, but in past years the French rarely ate red meat. Even when they had money to buy meat, they used only a small amount to add the taste to soups and other food. Today however,

46、 the French eat much of the same foods Americans eat.A doctor of New York University says the French continue to live longer because of what they have not been eating. She says that their high fat foods are too new to have an effect on their death rate. In 1961, 21% of the calories(卡路里)in the food F

47、rench people ate came from fats. In 1988, 39% of the calories came from fats. Americans however were getting 39% of their calories from fats in 1923. So for many years Americans have eaten higher amounts of fats which are known to cause heart disease.In the past some French experts claimed their goo

48、d health and long life was caused by the red wine they drank. They said the wine helped them to have the second lowest rate of heart disease among people living in industrial countries. Doctors, say a small amount of alcohol each day can help protect against heart disease, but they do not propose that people begin drinking alcohol for this reason.56 _affects peoples health.（A）Food（B） Wine（C） Calories（D）Disease57 What the French_helps them live longer.（A）eat now（B） eat in the past（C） eat and drink（D）like to eat58 Today the Americans eat_the French people.（A）the same as（B） more than（C） less th
