阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。

　　How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments— mostly for entertainment purposes— is fair and respectful?

　　Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals．However,most zoos remain “collections”of interesting“things”rather than protective habitats（栖息地）．Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored,lonely,and far from their natural homes．

　　Zoos claim（声称）to educate people and save endangered species（物种）,but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals' natural behavior,intelligence,or beauty．Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages,and most signs only mention the species' name,diet,and natural range（分布区）．The animals' normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals' natural needs．

　　The animals are kept together in small spaces,with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise．This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis．A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages．Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars,and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth,a sign of unhappiness and pain．

　　Furthermore,most animals in zoos are not endangered．Captive breeding（圈养繁殖）率of endangered big cats,Asian elephants,and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild．Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out．In fact,baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers．Haven't we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?

　　Actually,we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them．Instead of supporting zoos,we should support groups that work to protect animals' natural habitats．

(1)

How would the author describe the animals' life in zoos?

[　　]

A．

Dangerous

B．

Unhappy

C．

Natural

D．

Easy

(2)

In the state of zoochosis,animals ________

[　　]

A．

remain in cages

B．

behave strangely

C．

attack other animals

D．

enioy moving around

(3)

What does the author try to argue in the passage?

[　　]

A．

Zoos are not worth the public support．

B．

Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals．

C．

Zoos should treat animals as human beings．

D．

Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment．

(4)

The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by ________

[　　]

A．

pointing out the faults in what zoos do

B．

using evidence he has collected at zoos

C．

questioning the way animals are protected

D．

discussing the advantages of natural habitats

(5)

[　　]

zoos have to keep animals in small cages

most animals in zoos are endangered species

　　We all hate speed cameras, don't we?They're not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents; they just make money for the government．They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, disturb us from driving properly and are unfair．

　　Well, here's a surprising thing：what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives?It's a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what's happening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety．

　　There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example, but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995．

　　Last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time, or 4.9 per cent less than 2004．Comparing road deaths to population in 2005, that's about 817 per million people compared with Australia's 806．

　　And guess what?Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years．

　　Okay, you know the arguments regarding increased traffic safety and cameras-for-income, but it seems in France there's been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws．A three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on．

　　Travelling on the highways, it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it．The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming．There's even an official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly．

　　Maybe it is because of such transparency by government, rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy la joi de vivre thanks to speed cameras．

(1)

Generally, it seems to most people that speed cameras are used to ________．

[　　]

A．

make money for the government

B．

slow down the traffic

C．

lower the road accidents

D．

help us drive properly

(2)

From the passage we can learn that ________．

[　　]

A．

France has a very poor record of road safety

B．

we'd better ignore the evidence that speed cameras save lives

C．

France had fewer road deaths than Australia in 2005

D．

France does successfully in controlling road accidents

(3)

Which seems more effective in lowering road deaths in France according to this passage?

[　　]

A．

Compulsory seat belt．

B．

Lowering blood alcohol limit．

C．

Placing more speed cameras．

D．

Eating in a shorter time．

(4)

Now you can seldom see in France ________．

[　　]

A．

people drive at a speed of less than 130km/h

B．

lunch time lasts long hours with drunk people rushing back to office

C．

drivers drive according to the traffic lights

D．

police conduct traffic in streets

B．

Openness．

A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.

When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it’s beautiful!”

At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?

Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you’re coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet c1ients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geri’s handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other’s cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.

Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadn’t even given them a gift!

1.In the four Japanese gentlemen’s eyes, Geri took their cards _____________.

A. excitedly                B. embarrassingly               C. politely          D. disrespectfully

2.Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?

A. Because they couldn’t bear Geri’s behavior any longer.

B. Because they had finished the task.

C. Because Geri had something more important to do.

D. Because Geri felt embarrassed.

3.What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. ignorance               B. sadness                            C. mistake          D. carelessness

4.The third mistake Geri made was that she _____________.

A. used her own card as a conversation starter

B. took her clients’ cards with one hand

C. kept her clients’ cards in a wrong place

D. met her clients in jeans

5.What lesson can we draw from this story?

A. Honesty is the best policy.

B. Think twice before you take any action.

C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

D. Don't claim to know what you don't know.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

  Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comfort and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.

Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly line life” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café?

Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.

In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.

41.Which of the following is a feature of the old French way of life?

Leisure, elegance, and efficiency

Elegance, efficiency, and taste

Leisure, elegance, and taste

Elegance, efficiency, and leisure

42.Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?

Many of them prefer the modern life style.

They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.

They are more concerned with money than before.

They are more competitive than the old generation.

43.The passage suggests that _________.

A. in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhere

B. it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the river

C. the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked apples

D. great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen

44.Which of the following is true about the critics?

A. Critics are greater in number than people enjoying the new way of life.

B. Students critics are greater in number than critics in other fields.

C. Students critics have, on occasion, resorted to violent means against the trend.

D. Critics are concerned solely with the present and not the future.

45.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?

A. Changes in the French Way of Life

B. Criticism of the New Life Style

C. The Americanization of France

D. Features of the New Way of Life
