题目内容

______ a major disaster will get us to realize that we can't go on destroying the rain forests of the world.

A) Anything but B) Nothing but C) But that D) Everything but

B。

解析:

这里要弄清这两个选项的意思。A项anything but表示“决不，根本不(not at all，far from)”的意思，既可修饰名词，又可修饰形容词，一般位于be之后，例如：She is anything but a writer. 她根本不是什么作家。B项 nothing but表示“只不过，只是(just，only)”，一般用来修饰名词，仅适用于某物。例如：Don't worry about him； he needs is nothing but a few days' rest. 别担心他；他所需要的只是几天休息。C项 none but(only)表示“只能，仅仅”，一般适用于人。例如：None but the brave deserve our respect. 只有勇敢的人才值得我的尊敬。D项 everything but在英文中没有这种固定说法。

阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案

There are many differences between the living conditions of　　 people in the Los Angeles area and those of Topeka, Kansas. For　　 example, the Los Angeles area offers many places to go and see, but in　　 Topeka the places are limited. Places such as Disneyland and Knott's　　 Berry Farm or even the mountains and ocean, which are common to Los　　 Angeles, provide the area with entertainment, for example.

Another major contrast (对照) between the two geographic areas is　　 in the field of job opportunities. Los Angeles has many industries,　　 which in turn create job opportunities, but in the Topeka area there　　 are only a few industries and thus few job opportunities. Also, the　　 people working at their jobs in Topeka stay with the same job for many　　 years because of the limited opportunity for advancement. By contrast,　　 the job advancement opportunity in the Los Angeles area is much better　　 because there are more jobs to begin with and, therefore, people will　　 change jobs more freely.

An equally important contrast is the variation of shopping places.　　 In Los Angeles anyone can shop around for the best deal before making　　 a major purchase, such as a new car; in Topeka there are few shopping　　 places, especially shopping centers and car dealers. Thus people in　　 Topeka do not have the choice in the first place, nor can they make　　 the deals that the people in Los Angeles can.

On the whole the Los Angeles area has many advantages over the　　 entire Topeka, Kansas area.

Renata Di Pietro was studying to be an opera singer. But at 23, while on a music scholarship at the University of Iowa in 1976, her sight began to fail. Soon, it became increasingly difficult to read scores and pick up hand signals from conductors, and the gifted singer was forced to drop out.

After moving to Cleveland, Georgia in 2005, Di Pietro relied on guide dogs to get around. Over the years, she became depressed when she’d lose one of the dogs, who had become her best friend, to old age or death. “It’s very painful, because you love each one,” she says.

In 2009, Di Pietro was intrigued by information from a friend that miniature horses typically live for at least 30 years and make calm and strong guides. She started with a male horse, but he was too hard to control. Angel came next, a mini white female horse Di Pietro has mostly trained herself. “Horses have the ability to avoid the things in the way,” she says. “If I am about to run into something, she slides her body in front of me.”

Di Pietro, now 59, has taught her guide horse to make some sounds with her hoof (马蹄)when she comes to stairs. “Angel can find a chair and locate the nearest door for me,” Di Pietro says. Currently, she’s training Angel to pull her wheelchair and to fetch.

Despite her disability, Di Pietro still sings, performing with her husband, musician Carl Hummer, at special events. Angel is always by her side. “I fight a battle every day to take courage to engage the world,” Di Pietro says. “Angel is my warhorse. We fight that battle together.”

1.Why did Di Pietro have to give up her studying in the university?

A.She disliked her major in music.

B.She failed to get high scores.

C.She couldn’t understand hand signals from conductors.

D.She found it difficult to see things clearly.

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

A.Puzzled. B. Interested. C. Satisfied. D. Frightened.

3.Angel can do a lot of things for Di Pietro now EXCEPT_________.

A.supporting her in case of her falling

B. helping her find a chair to sit on

C. keeping her company every day

D. fighting with her against others
