Reading Comprehension (2’X20=40’)Directions: Read the following three passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passage OneDogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong things. The key to preventing or treating behavior problem is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit”, it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you pleasantly if they accept that you are in charge.Tainting should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and more safely allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.1.

He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something andvery gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"The young man paused, looking up and replied, "Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.""I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?""The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die.""But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will get through the strength of our images the power to shape the future.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful.6.

The writer told this story in order to tell us that ________.A) everyone of us is cleverB) all of us can help to shape our futureC) wise men are sometimes stupidD) young people are actually wiser than old peoplePassage Three:In the United States, about 750,000 persons have suffered AIDS. More than one half of them have died.But doctors say evidence also shows there is no reason for persons to become terrified (惊吓) by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an infected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities.A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journal (杂志) of Medicine. The doctors studied one-hundred-one family members who lived with AIDS and lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients. These included toothbrushes, drinking glasses, beds, towels and toilets.Doctors said only one family member —a five-year-old girl —got the AIDS virus. They note, however, that the girl's mother had the disease. They believe the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease.The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools and other public places. Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason to punish AIDS patients and to force them to live separately from other persons.American health officials recently warned, however, that some health care workers should take special care. The report noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective (保护性的) covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental (牙科的) work, or other times when the patient may bleed.In the United States, most AIDS patients are homosexual (同性恋的) men, people taking drugs who used infected needles (针头), and persons who received infected blood. More recent studies show the AIDS virus also can be spread during heterosexual (异性的) relations. It can spread either from the man to the woman, orfrom the woman to the man.11 Doctors say there is no reason for people to be frightened about AIDS because_______.A) it is not deadlyB) few people are infected with AIDSC) the AIDS virus is not spread in everyday social activities.D) the AIDS virus is not spread during sex12 The study of 101 family members who lived with AIDS patients shows that________.A) the AIDS is not spread by personal goodsB) women are more likely to get the AIDS virus than menC) married men are less likely to get AIDS than unmarried onesD) the AIDS virus is passed by drinking glasses13 According to Doctor Friedland, there is no reason to _______.A) stop meeting AIDS patientsB) stop living with AIDS patientsC) fear that AIDS can be passed from a mother to a babyD) fear that the AIDS virus can be passed during sex14 Health workers were warned to take special care when the patient bleeds because_______.A) AIDS can be passed by touching the patient's bodyB) AIDS can be spread by touching the patient's skinC) AIDS virus can be carried in blood or other body fluidsD) the health care workers may be infected by the blood15 _______ are least likely to be infected with the AIDS disease.A) People who use drugsB) Persons who offer infected blood to othersC) Men who are gayD) Married menPassage Four:Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanaton. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!”The possible explaination to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe your’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam(鼓足干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy of concentration for your sharper hours.16. If a person finds gettings up early a problem, most probably _________.A) he is a lazy personB) he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC) he is not sure when his energy is lowD) he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening17. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A) Unawareness of energy cycles.B) Family monologues.C) A change in the family member’s energy cycle.D) Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.18. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should______.A) change his energy cycleB) overcome his lazinessC) get up earlier than usualD) go to bed earlier19. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _________.A) help to keep your energy for the day’s workB) help you to control your temper early in the dayC) enable you to concentrate on your routine workD) keep your energy cycle under control all day20. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE ?A) Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one ’s energy.B) Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day. C) Habit helped a person adapt to his own energy cycle. D) Children have energy cycles, too.Part II. Vocabulary (0.5’X30=15’)Directions: Choose the best one to complete each sentence.21.

She was born in a small house near the Little Pigeon River near the tiny town of Locust Ridge, Tennessee. Dolly Rebecca Parton came into the world on January 19th, 1946, and because her familywas very poor, the doctor who delivered her, Robert F. Thomas, was paid with a sackof corn. Of course, the doctor did not know that Dolly would write a song about him,or that she would become not only a beautiful woman, a multi-millionaire, and a Hollywood star, but perhaps the most famous female country singer of all time.How did Dolly get from Locust Ridge to Hollywood? It was a result of her natural ability and strong determination. A family member remembers “She began singing just about the same time she began talking.” She made her first guitar from an old mandolin and two extra guitar strings. Even before she went to school, Dolly made up songs and stories and asked her mother to write them down so she could remember them.She became a local star at age ten, appearing on a TV show in Knoxville, Tennessee. In 1957, she took a long-distance bus to Lake Charles, Louisiana, where she made her first record, “Puppy Love.” A year later, she made her first public appearance at Nashville’s country music hall, but not as a singer: she played the drums with the Sevier High School Marching Band.Dolly loved Nashville! However, she was still in high school, so she coul dn’t go there often. She had to work long and hard before graduating in 1964. The day after the graduation ceremony, she fulfilled her first big dream: “I graduated from high school on a Friday night and left early on Saturday morning for Nashville.” Her u ncle, country star Buck Owens, gave her a place to stay, and on the Saturday she arrived she took a bundle of dirty clothes to the local laundry. There she met Carl Dean, a carpenter. Two years later they were married in Georgia. They are still married today.Dolly began recording more songs, but none of them became popular. Success finally came to her as a songwriter when another singer recorded “Put it Off till Tomorrow,” and it was a hit. Dolly was a fresh and original songwriter, and could find new ways to talk about familiar stories. She sang with a clear, strong, sweet voice. This helped her become popular with people who usually didn’t enjoy country music. She also became popular internationally.In 1967, she began to write lots of popular songs. She appeared on television shows, and received prizes for her music, all very quickly. Her looks, personality and sense of humor, made her a natural for the movies. In 1980, she appeared in her first movie “Nine to Five,” playing a secretary. Dolly wrote and sang the film’s theme song, and it was the most popular song of 1981.Dolly Parton now owns Dollywood, a large theme park near her hometown; she also bought the local radio station and moved it to Dollywood. She also began a program that promises a college scholarship to every student who graduates from the high schools in her home county.It’s clear why Dolly is still popular after all these years._____ 66.
