题目内容

Last summer, after finishing our work in China, I took a trip of a lifetime on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Leaving Beijing early on a Wednesday morning in July, my wife and I traveled through some gorgeous countryside before we arrived in Moscow the following Monday evening.

The first part of the journey took us past the Great Wall and through the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. At the Mongolian Republic border, we had a delay(耽搁) while the wheels were changed because the railway is different.

On our way to the capital, Ulan Bator, we saw herdsmen(牧人) on horseback looking after their cattle. There was a terrible thunderstorm as we crossed a vast open plain. Later we had a quick tour of Ulan Bator.

Next, the train took us into Siberia. After a stop at Irkutsk, a popular holiday resort (胜地), where a tour group left the train, we passed the great Lake Baikal. Later, we saw some lovely wooden houses in pretty, sunny countryside. This surprised us, as we had imagined Siberia as being covered in thick snow.

Over the next few days, we passed through Novosibirsk, Omsk and other cities in the heartlands of the Russian Federation. By now, our body clocks were losing their sense of time. We wanted to sleep and eat at the wrong time!

At last we reached Moscow. We were too tired and slept for 16 hours that night. The next day we went sightseeing. We saw the Kremlin and some other great buildings in the Russian capital. Then, all too soon, it was time for us to return to our home in London.

I love camping. It’s my favorite way to spent the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went for a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully. For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At the night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp, and I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.

I have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania was unique. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. He hasn’t seen his family since he was 16.

When we reached Bucharest, his family was waiting outside to greet us. After a lot of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also embraced (拥抱) me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. His family loved our gifts. We made trips to the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains. Eating at outdoor cafes to the sound of gypsy violins was very different, but nothing was as unforgettable as family dinners.

Most Romanian homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers. It was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was surprising: The women had dinner in their bras (文胸) and slips (衬裙). The men were shirtless. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Disrobing (脱去衣服) for dinner was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of doing laundry – at least in their household, and perhaps all across Romania. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed.

On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. The table applauded. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying: “She’s part of our family now.”

1.When the author arrived in her husband’s hometown, _____.

A. his family showed no respect for her at first

B. she intended to talk to his family in English

C. she got extra attention from his family for her nationality

D. she found that she hadn’t brought enough gifts for his family

2.What surprised the author most during her visit to her husband’s family?

A. Most of his family members didn’t travel a lot at the time.

B. Women in his family had dinner in only their underclothes.

C. Most of her husband’s relatives didn’t like doing laundry.

D. They had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers at home.

3.On the last night of the author’s stay, the family applauded her because _____.

A. the author disrobed for dinner as the family did

B. they just wanted to show their love for the author

C. the author could finally understand them easily

D. it was time for the author to give a speech

Sheep Smarter than Thought

London—Sheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated the woolly creature. They could be much smarter than we think.

Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces—which they think is a sure sign of intelligence.

Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes (电极) to measure their brain activity , which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years .

“If they can do that with faces, they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else?” Kendrick said in an interview.

So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.

Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb (unable to speak, unintelligent) animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and are frightened of just about everything.

“All animals, including humans, once they are frightened, don’t tend to show signs of intelligent action,” he explained.

In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar.

“The most important finding (of the study) is that they are able , both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized , to remember a large number of individuals for a very long time,” said Kendrick. “It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”

1.From the first paragraph we can find that______.

A．people used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals

B．people used to raise sheep in a wrong way

C．people don’t consider sheep as clever animals

D．people have done a lot of research on sheep

2.From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that_____.

A．scientists have learned everything about sheep’s intelligence

B．scientists have learned a little about sheep’s intelligence

C．scientists can’t do anything more about sheep’s memory

D．scientists do not have to research animals’ memory

3.As is known in the passage,__________.

A．sheep are among the week animals

B．it is not right for people to raise sheep in groups

C．when sheep eat grass in the field their minds may be active

D．if people feel frightened, they may become braver

1.___When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(迫使) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. 2.__Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits, and sometimes become ruined by them.

3.____Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness.

Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. 4.___ Unfortunately older persons often form habits which ought to have been avoided.

5.___

A. There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help.

B. Whether good or not habit are, they are easy to get rid of.

C. We ought to keep from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.

D. Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.

E. It is very important for us to know why we should get used to good habits.

F. These are all easily formed habits.

G. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.
