题目内容

【题目】My 18-month-old son, Adam, called from the front door．“Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped what I was doing and stuck my head out the door．Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old dog, was over again．“Go away!” I shouted．

Brandy’s owner had died about a month earlier．The woman’s family had emptied the house and stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind．For weeks, she’d been wandering around the neighborhood．

It wasn’t that I disliked dogs or anything like that．I just didn’t think about them very much．I never had a dog growing up and had never thought to get one．

Brandy went away and I stayed outside with Adam．Then the phone rang．I went inside to take the call．When I came back, Adam was gone．I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball court and public pool．No trace of him．I was so nervous that I ran home and called the police, then my husband．

Police searched the neighborhood．Suddenly I heard another sound: a dog barking．“It’s coming from the woods,” one of my neighbors said．We followed the barking to a wooded cliff（悬崖）．There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep．Brandy was beside him, leaning（倚靠）against him to keep him away from the edge．When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly．She must have been holding Adam there for hours!

I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house．She hesitated a moment on our doorstep, no doubt remembering the time I’d driven her away．

“Come on, girl,” I said．“This is your home now．” Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door．She’d done a great thing, and I wondered if she knew it ．She’d certainly touched me in a way that no animal ever had．What a pity a dog like Brandy had been left behind!

【1】What is the correct order for the events in the story about Brandy?

d．She stayed beside the woman’s son for hours．

A. d, a, b, c B. a, c, b, d

【解析】试题分析:本文讲述的是“我”对流浪狗布朗迪从最开始的嫌弃到最后的收留这一小故事。

【1】D细节理解题。根据第二段：The woman’s family had emptied the house and stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind．句意：女人的家人们清空了她的房子并且在她的院子前树了一块写有“出售”的牌子，但是她的家人把布朗迪留在了后面。可知顺序排第一的是a；根据第一段：My 18-month-old son, Adam, called from the front door．“Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped what I was doing and stuck my head out the door．Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old dog, was over again．句意：我十八个月大的儿子，亚当在前门呼喊着：“看！妈妈！小狗！”我扔下手中的事情，把头伸出门外——我们旁边的邻居家的十一岁大的狗又一次的来到了我家门口。有下文可知布朗迪是因为被主人的家人抛弃了才出现在了作者家门口，故c排在a后面；根据第五段：We followed the barking to a wooded cliff（悬崖）．There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep．Brandy was beside him, leaning（倚靠）against him to keep him away from the edge．When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly．She must have been holding Adam there for hours!句意：我们跟着犬吠声来到了一个树木繁茂的悬崖。在那里我看到了我们的儿子，那时他已经睡着了，在离悬崖边缘只有几英寸的地方。布朗迪在他的身旁，靠着他，使他远离悬崖的边缘。当我把亚当抱了起来，布朗迪一下子摊在了地上，呼吸地非常迅速。她肯定支持亚当了几个小时。故d排在c后面；根据第七段：Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door. 句意：布朗迪走了进来，一旦她意识到自己是真的收到了欢迎，她立马放松了下来并且在门口躺了下来。故b排在最后；根据顺序，故选D.

【题目】D

In June, an isolated tribe known to semi-permanently reside in Peru emerged from the forest on the neighboring Envira River in Brazil to make contact with the outside world. Such contact happens surprisingly often, but it is usually brief. “This is unique in that they’ve chosen to stay,” says Chris Fagan, director of the nongovernmental group Upper Amazon Conservancy.

Reportedly under threat from illegal loggers, a few dozen tribespeople remain near the village where they first emerged. They are under the supervision of FUNAI, Brazil’s agency for Indian affairs. During many past contact events, members of the isolated groups died after encountering modern diseases for the first time. But experts hope the group that emerged in June will fare (进展) better because members have stayed long enough to receive medical care. There’s still concern that other members of the group’s tribe may have remained in the forest, vulnerable to disease and unreachable by medical personnel.

“The worst-case scenario (方案) is that some people get sick and go back to the original tribe,” says University of Missouri anthropologist Robert Walker, who studies Amazonian populations. “That’s the huge worry.”

Walker, who studies satellite imagery (卫星图) of the rainforest for evidence of isolated villages, says four or five such nomadic hunter-gatherer groups live in the Envira River watershed, though he estimates between 50 and 100 isolated indigenous (土生土长的) groups live in Greater Amazonia. These groups often make fleeting (短暂的) contact to steal tools from frontier towns, but most, he says, remain isolated out of fear. “Some of these folks’ ancestors have been massacred,” he says. “They were contacted, violently, in the past.”

Now, with illegal loggers and drug smugglers invading land reserves established to protect the tribespeople’s way of life, these isolated groups are feeling pressured out of their homes. And although activist groups and government anthropologists train locals to temporarily leave the area when isolated tribes arrive as a way to prevent the spread of disease, lack of official protocols (协议), consistent enforcement and regular compensation for villagers often make it an ineffective solution.

These tribespeople “have a right to continue their lifestyle as long as they want to,” Fagan says. “There are land reserves set up to allow them to do that, and those reserves are failing.”

【1】Where do the tribespeople who make contact with the outside world live?

A. In the US. B. In Brazil.

C. In Peru. D. In Cuba.

【2】Mr Walker is __________.

A. director of the nongovernmental group Upper Amazon Conservancy

B. an official from the Brazilian government

C. an official from FUNAI, Brazil’s agency for Indian affairs

D. an anthropologist from America

【3】What does the underlined word “massacred” mean?

A. killed in a large number.

B. given enough medical treatment.

C. helped with tender care.

D. treated in a friendly way.

【4】From what Fagan says in the last paragraph, we can know _______.

A. It is unique that the tribespeople should ask to stay

B. The government did a lot to set up land rserves but ended up in vain.

C. These tribespeople don’t have a right to continue their lifestyle as long as they want to.

D. The worst-case scenario is that some people get sick and go back to the original tribe.

Researchers are now using three-dimensional, or 3D printing to create models of the human heart to help heart specialists. The heart doctors can use the models to better help patients before an operation.

Surgeons regularly use digital images to explore the heart in close detail. But no two human hearts are alike. This led Matthew Bramlet to create exact heart models from those images. Dr. Bramlet is a pediatric or children's heart expert at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. He says the 3-D models show information he cannot get any other way.

A 3-D printer uses images from a digital display to create a physical model of a human heart. Matthew Bramlet says doctors can use the model, in his words, "to understand the anatomy(解剖) for the first time."

Pictures from medical tests like CAT scan or MRI are sent to a 3-D printer to create a heart in a plaster or clay form. The printer then constructs the heart, thin layer by thin layer. Dr. Bramlet says the model matches the real heart in every detail.

Dr. Bramlet has built model hearts for different kinds of heart operations. All of the operations were successful. In his first case, digital images showed only one tiny hole in a baby's heart. But, the 3-D printed model showed several defects or problems that the baby was born with. Dr. Bramlet says those defects could not be seen easily in the images. The heart surgeon was able to change the type of surgery for the patient based on the 3-D model. He added that 3-D heart models saves time during heart operations.

Matthew Bramlet continues to research the technology. He is working with the National Institutes of Health to build a 3-D library that includes heart models and images that others can use.

【题目】Like many other parts of our lives today, education has become a global enterprise. In microcosm(微观世界), my school is proof of just how global. Monkseaton High School is an ordinary state-funded school of 850 students in the unfashionable part of northeastern England. Over the past seven years it has sent 12 students to American universities --- two of them to Harvard. Monkseaton has, in turn, attracted students from other countries, including Germany and Latvia. Monkseaton now almost routinely receives inquiries from students in Eastern European countries. Obviously, learning English is a big draw, but his pattern of student movement was unheard of five years ago.

The brain drain is a universal phenomenon, and countries that don’t face up to the new reality will be losing some of their most precious resources. The northeast of England is its poorest region, and has experienced a severe loss of highly qualified professionals-to-be. Some of the most able 18-year-olds are going to other parts of Britain, even to other countries. What is happening here is happening to Britain as a whole. Most noticeably, there is a growing trend of British students taking degrees in American universities. This year the number will break the psychological barrier of 1,000 students for the first time.

And what is happening at the secondary-school level is happening to higher education. Wherever they come from, today’s students have a very different perspective on education from their parents. Because of television, the Internet and their travels, these students see the world as a much smaller place than their parents once did. They are more confident in accepting the challenge of moving from one country to another, from one culture to another; in many cases they can even apply to schools over the Internet. Students are also more aware of the overall cost of education and are looking for value for money. Plus, for many, education linked to travel is a better option than education at home.

【1】Why does the author say education has become a global enterprise?

A. Monkseaton High School used to be a very unfashionable school in the Northeast England.

B. Monkseaton High School is now one of the state-funded middle schools in England.

C. Monkseaton High School has sent two top students to the Harvard University in U.S.

D. There is now an extensive exchange of students among different countries.

【2】 What can we infer about northeast England from the passage?

A. It is one of the poorest regions in England.

B. It has experienced a severe loss of professionals.

C. It will face a more serious brain drain in the near future.

D. It is losing its young talents to other parts of the world.

【3】 According to the passage, students today have different perspective from their parents on the following EXCEPT that _________________.

A. education linked to travel is much better than education at home

B. overall cost of education should be considered against money value

C. moving from one culture to another is a welcomed challenge

D. the Internet is more popular and easier to access in the near future

【4】 The students today tend to see the world as a much smaller place NOT because __________.

A. they are having more exposure to the television programs

B. they are having easier access to the Internet

C. they are having frequent travels to the other parts of the world

D. they are having better communication with their parents

【5】 The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to __________.

A. tell us the benefit of globalization of education

B. analyze the causes for students’ moving trend in Great Britain

C. criticize the universal phenomenon of brain drain worldwide

D. draw attention to students’ moving from one country to another
