题目内容

8.根据短文内容,从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项. 选项中有一项为多余选项.
A.Adults keep pets with their children.
B.Pet-keeping has a very long history.
C.Pet-keeping may do harm to animals.
D.People keeps pets for their aesthetic need.
E.Caged pets become increasingly popular.
F.Pet-keeping is helpful for children's growth.
61.BPet-keeping is a time-honored tradition.One of the reasons for people to raise dogs or cows was usefulness.While people in the past hunted animals and kept them in their backyards,the civilsed man today is less cruel towards them and is less exploitative(利用的).
62.DWe keep animals as pets because they are attractive.We all have the urge to possess something that has aesthetic(审美的)value,and this is why we treasure paintings or fine furniture.Keeping pets is one form of this urge.A Siamese cat in the house can be a decorative object.Pets are playful animals and they amuse us.A little rabbit amuses us by its playful and lively runs.
63.FMany parents find it helpful to have pets in the house for their children.Having pets is an excellent way of developing in children the love of animals and responsibility.Children get the opportunity to take on full responsibility for another creature's life.It will be an educational experience for a child to watch the natural life cycle of an animal.There are psychological benefits for children.Pets are welcome friends for children who are lonely.Pets are excellent companions.Keeping pets means giving love and being loved.We find comfort in giving care and receiving care in return.We get pleasure from their appearance and their behavior.
64.EAs more people move into apartments,there are limitations on keeping of animals like dogs and monkeys.Therefore,caged animals have increased in popularity.Birds fall into this group.We keep them for their beautiful songs and feathers.Fish-keeping is a widespread hobby and the keeper can observe their behavior in the glass tank and study its entire life cycle.The cat is a fine house pet and it fits neatly into human habitation(居住地) without requiring its own cage.They are wonderful hunters,if there are rats around.
65.CPets satisfy man's desire to care for a bit of nature.The pet owner has the responsibility for supplying those needs that nature provides.Pets are amusing and entertaining,but we are in a way doing animals harm by making them live in a human environment.Are we not enslaving(奴役)them?

分析 本文讲述了圈养牲畜的历史--由一开始利用它们(狗和奶牛),把它们圈养在院子里,到现在把它们当作宠物的历史.

解答 BDFEC
61.B 此段话主要讲述传统的圈养牲畜的目的,从很久以前打猎动物并把它们圈养到后院到现在对待它们的方式(越来越柔和,且不考虑它们的实用性),表达了饲养动物有很长的历史,Pet-keeping is a time-honored tradition.(饲养动物是历史悠久的传统.)和B选项相符合,故答案为B;
62.D 此段话的中心思想可以由第一句话看出来We keep animals as pets because they are attractive.(养宠物是因为它们外表很有吸引力),可见是符合人的审美需求,后面的内容是对这句话的阐述,故答案为D;
63.F 此段话的表达中心可由第一句话概括Many parents find it helpful to have pets in the house for their children.故答案为F;
64.E 第四段话的内容是讲越来越多的人搬入了公寓,他们不能养像猴子和狗一样的动物,因此,把动物放进笼子里圈养就流行起来.比如鸟类,鱼.因此第四段话的中心和E选项相符合,故选E;
65.C 第五段话是对人们现在饲养宠物的反思--宠物满足了人们保护自然的一点需求,但是把动物变为宠物,我们是否是在奴役它们?(意为"可能对宠物来说是一种伤害).其内容与C选项相符,故选C.

点评 本文为配对阅读题型,要求选出与每段相符合的选项概括,考生需先理解每个选项,再通读每段话,找出每段话所谈论的要点,最后进行正确的配对.

     This year,my boys will be in two different states on Mother's Day.My mom and dad will be away together,and l'11 be driving home from a writer's workshop in Massachusetts.Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a few have lost children,I am deeply grateful that what separates us,for now at least,is merely distance.It won't always be so,and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is.My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e-mail,and that is enough as I love their words.The very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness,the very fact of their busy.full and well-lived lives.

3.A study of more than five million books,both fiction and non-fiction,has found a marked decline in the use of emotional words over time.The researchers form the University of Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer,a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books,to search for more than 600particular words identified as representing anger,dislike,fear,joy,sadness and surprise.
They found that almost all of the categories (类别) showed a drop in these"mood words"over time.Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage.
"It is a steady and continuous decrease,"said Dr Alberto Acerbi.He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature,in a crowded media landscape."One thing could be that in parallel to books the 20th century saw the start of other media.Maybe these media-movies,radio,drama-had more emotional content than books."
Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend,the research,published in the journal PLOS One,found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour:the ratio (比率) between the two varied greatly,apparently mirroring historical events.
During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash.But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second World War.Nevertheless,the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends.In the paper,they even argue that the reverse could be true.
"It has been suggested,for example,that it was the suppression (压抑) of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing‘filled with romance and sex'…perhaps,"they conclude,"songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body."
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81.A study of more than five million books indicated a decline in"mood words"over time exceptin the category of fear.
82.According to Dr Alberto Acerbi,one reason for the drop of"mood words"in books may be thatthe literary position has changed in a crowded media landscape/other media-movies,radio,drama-
had more emotional content.
83.What were the two periods when the joy-to-sadness ratio was at its highest?During the roaring Twenties and before the recent financial crash.
84.While the researchers found some changes in the use of"mood words"in books,they were
not sure thattheir research result reflected wider social trends/songs and books reflected the real population.

    The man bent down and gave his wife the flower,telling her who it was from.(43)B being badly hurt,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with (44)A in her eyes and gave him a little(45)C.

20.Given that many people's moods (情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate,it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie &the Chocolate Factory,Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100varieties of chocolates.its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents'comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
  If the CRF seems to be a smart idea,that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.
  The CRF's produce is"green".made within the country and divided into 10 lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper,red bean (豆).cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo,Cuba,Venezuela,and Ghana,among others.

44.What is good about chocolate?C.
A.It serves as a suitable gift.
B.It works as an effective medicine.
C.It helps improve the state of mind.
D.It strengthens business relations.
45.Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?D.
A.He knows the importance of research.
B.He learns form shops of similar types.
C.He has the support of many big names
D.He has a lot of marketing experience.
46.Which line of the CRF produce sells best?C.
A.The Connoisseur Series.   B.The Exotic Series.
C.The Alcohol Series.       D.The Sichuan Series.

A.are particular about chocolate
B.know little about cocoa beans
C.look down upon others
D.like to try new flavors.
17.People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars.And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months,anyway.Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months.I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting,and some acted just simply rudely.I started hating the way I was treated,and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜)before were pretty ordinary.So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘).If the star was a bad guy,I would say so.If I thought anyone was stupid,I did not hold back that information.
I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty.Surprisingly,many of them hated me for it.I have gotten so many attacks on my character.In their eyes,being famous is everything,even more desirable than being truly creative and talented
Why do we need stars?In fact,the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲话).Over time,talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about.Thus,some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends.That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview-as we care.We want the dirt on their personal lives.
There is another reason we worship stars.As a whole,our society is not as religious as it once was.It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did.Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.
We make them stars,but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant,and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die.I am part of this whole process.No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.

39.What are the stars like according to the author?C
A.They always treat others rudely.
B.They always talk about something dull.
C They are acutually ordinary people.
D.They are usually honest and polite,
40.We worship stars becauseA.
A,we need true mental heroes to support us
B.we can learn something useful from famous stars
C.we concern about the stars,family and friends
D.we like talking about the stars,dressing styles
41.When the author is writing this article,his tone soundsD.
A.excited
B.angry
C.worried
D.calm
42.What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?B
A.To show the disadvantages of working with stars.
B.To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.
C.To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.
D.To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.
