第二部分：阅读理解（共25题，第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分，满分45分）

第一节：阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41—60各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

       Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.

       A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200  objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee（黑猩猩）.

    In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.

       In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object , using a word the dog had never heard before.

       The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination（排除法）. A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.

       Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed（品种）known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.

       It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can’t talk back. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

41．From paragraph 2 we know that        .

       A．animals are as clever as human beings

       B．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees

       C．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills

       A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands right

       B．Rico can recognize different things including toys

       C．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics

       D．Rico won’t forget the names of objects once recognizing them

43．Which of the following statements is true?

       A．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie’s mental abilities.

       B．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.

       C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.

       D．Rico is born to understand its owner’s commands.

44．What does the writer want to tell us?

     A．To train your dog.

       B．To command your dog to do something.

     C．To be friendly to your dog.

     D．To be careful with your dog.

    Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will

one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

“ I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “ I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate.”

At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “ There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “ Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”

However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “ It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Center. “ At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

67. By saying “ we are knocking at the door immortality”, Michael Zey means_____.

   A. they believe that there is no limit of living

   B. they are sure to find the truth about long living

   C. they have got some ideas about living forever

   D. they are able to make people live past the present life span

68. Donald Louria’s attitude toward long living is that_____.

   A. people can live from 120 to 180

   B. it is still doubtful how long humans can live

   C. the human body is designed to last about 120 years

   D. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future

69. The underlined “ it” (Para. 4) refers to_____.

   A. a great push

   B. the idea of living beyond the present life span

   C. the idea of living from 200 to 300

   D. the conservative estimate

70. What would be the best title for this text?

   A. Living longer or not

   B. Science, technology and long living

   C. No limit for human life

   D. Healthy lifestyle and long living

A clique(小圈子,派系) is a group of friends who hang out together and act in similar ways. Cliques are common feature of the teen years. Members of a clique usually have certain things in common. For example, they might all be good students. Membership in a clique is limited. Not everyone who wants to belong can join.

Cliques can have a positive or negative influence. Because most teens have a strong need to belong, they want to feel that they fit into a group. Cliques can help them meet this need. Sometimes teens feel unsure of themselves, and they use a clique to gain approval of what they wear or how they act.

Cliques can become harmful, however, if they pressure members to behave the same way as the group that may damage their health. Cliques may discourage members from making their own decisions, giving their own opinions, or having other friends who aren’t accepted by the clique. Cliques may even pressure members to act in ways that go against their own values and beliefs, such as lying to parents or teachers. Cliques can also hurt people outside the group. For example, members might make fun of a teen who isn’t in the clique.

If you find yourself under this type of pressure from a clique, here are some actions you can take to improve your situation.

● Suggest other activities. Offer ideas that don’t involve hurting others or putting anyone at risk.

● Find new friends. If staying in the clique is becoming a negative experience, you will be better off with new friends.

Why do teens want to be a member of a clique?

A. Because it is popular with teens.                   

B. Because it meets teens’ need of belonging.

C. Because it is where teens can be themselves.

D. Because it provides an opportunity for them to be away from their parents.

Why can cliques be harmful?

A. Because kids in there don’t have independent thinking.

B. Because kids in there are not allowed to have their own opinions.

C. Because kids in there sometimes are pressured.

D. Because kids in there are forced to lie to their parents.

What is the writer’s attitude toward the clique?

A. He is very supportive to it.                            B. He is strongly against it.

C. He is not against it, though he doesn’t like it.

D. He is not against it. However, he has some worry about it.

I had an interesting experience playing ping-pong last year. I was playing against aopponent(对手). The score was 20 to 17 in her  . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I my paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me and said we had to continue until one of us .

“Look,”I said, “if we, one of two events will take place, either you or I will win.If you win, I will begin tomy skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn’t it better to know that we both played , that we enjoyed the competition, and that we played an even(相等) score?” This was aending for my opponent and for the persons watching this contest. It made  to me to leave with a tie(不分胜负) game, an impasse(僵局): no winner, no.

So, my friends, here is the problem me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to other nations for retaliatory(报复) strikes. In such a nuclear time, there be no winners, only losers. Under these conditions, the only choice toglobal destruction is glogal impasse. This would be a “tie game” where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise(妥协). This is because compromise becomes the only means of. We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to understanding of victory. The victory is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins, no one loses either.
