You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days. If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling wast, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-tree hours.

But when she married, she had a new flat which was big enough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday. Then she went to a shop and said, “I’ll choose whichever piano does not cost too much and fits into my living room.” When she had paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned(调音) every few months. Mrs. Peters agreed. A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully. It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived, everything was finished. She opened the door, and the man was standing there with a big dog. “Good morning,” the man said politely, “will it disturb(打扰) you if I bring my dog in, please? I’m blind, and he leads me wherever I go.” 38. Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano _____.

A. the dog would dirty the house B. the piano tuner could see nothing in the house C. the dog disturbed Mrs. Peters D. the piano tuner always took the dog Passage 3 The dog has always been considered man‟s best friend. Always noted for being particular faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on the sheep range, and beside the hunter or blind. He is easy to train, works hard, and often performs astonishing feats. And in the frozen polar regions, he was once the principal motive power, before being largely replaced by the plane and helicopter. Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts in visible to people. Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the dog‟s sensitivity to people‟s feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. His record of saving lives is outstanding, for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master. The dog‟s major contribution, however, has been to medical research. Both his diet and his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject, of countless demonstrations and experiments. Open-heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the dog. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病), distemper, and other diseases. 43. The dog has always been noted for _____. A. protecting children B. assisting shepherds C. helping hunters D. herding a cattle 44. The dog is useful to herders because he is _____. A. loyal B. easily trained C. hard working D. all of the above 45. The dog probably whines in the presence of death because he can _____. A. see ghosts and spirits B. give warning of ganger C. sense unhappiness around him D. perform astonishing feats 46. The dog has been of most valuable to people in the development of _____. A. a treatment of rabies B. open-heart surgery C. a cure for distemper D. all of the above 47. The article does not say whether the scientists‟ experiments with dog have _____. A. benefited animals other than dogs B. served people C. helped other dogs D. contributed to medical knowledge Passage 4 Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers? Five hundred years ago. news of important happenings — battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen. Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and Film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit. 48. The habit of reading newspapers is _____. A. widespread B. found among a few families C. not popular D. uncommon 49. In the past, news was _____. A. sent by telegraph B. sent by letter C. passed from one person to another D. sent by telephone 50. The money spent on advertisements is _____.

Large companies put big advertisements in the newspapers to make their products known. C. The news that we need in our newspapers is up-to-date. D. Though the newspapers are sold at a low price, their owners still gain profit. 52. The phrase "subscribe to" in the second sentence means _____.

When money is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. However, when time is gone, it will never come back. As the pace of modern life continues to accelerate, our time seems quite limited. But there are a lot of things to be done in our lives. We should make full use of our time to fulfill what is useful to us. As students we should devote most of our time to our studies. In this way we can acquire new knowledge and skills necessary for our future career. In my opinion, wasting time means wasting our valuable life. But many of us don„ t realize this . They think time is inexhaustible. But I‟m not in favor of such a view. I think we should never put off what can be done today until tomorrow. 相关资料 |
