9.Some animals can be trained to help humans.For example,specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely.Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too.(36)FThe monkeys pick up the phone when it rings,carry shopping bags and do housework.
In the wild,animals and humans are not usually friends.(37)G In Africa,the honey-guide bird works with humans to find food.The bird likes to eat the grubs (幼蟲)-a type of insect that lives inside a beehive (蜂巢,蜂窩).It knows how to find beehives but it can't open them and get the grubs.People like to eat honey,but they aren't very good at finding beehives.(38)A  The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it.When the people open the beehive and take the honey,they give the grubs to the bird.
In Laguna in the south of Brazil,fishermen and dolphins work as a team.The ocean isn't very clean,so the fishermen can't see the fish.(39)CWhen the dolphins find a large group of fish,they make a noise to tell the fishermen.Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach.The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets.The fishermen's nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too.In Laguna,fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years.(40)E.Meanwhile,the dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!

A.So the bird and the people help each other.
B.They attack each other for food or something else.
C.However,dolphins can find them easily by using sounds.
D.In fact,they usually help to get enough food for their babies.
E.The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins.
F.They can learn how to help people who can't use their arms or legs.
G.However,there are a few interesting examples where they can work together.

分析 本文主要介紹人和動物在某些方面能相互幫助,并列舉了兩個例子來說明.一個是人類和鳥尋找蜂蜜和蟲子;一個是漁民和海豚尋找魚.

解答 36--40 FGACE
36.F 考查上下文理解判斷能力.根據(jù)下文The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings,carry shopping bags and do housework可知,它們會接電話,幫忙提購物袋,還會做家務(wù)活.上文應(yīng)是:它們可以學(xué)會怎樣幫助那些手腳殘疾的人.故選F.
37.G考查上下文理解判斷能力.根據(jù)上文In the wild,animals and humans are not usually friends可知,在野外,人和動物并不總是能和平相處,下文應(yīng)是:但是有趣的是有時候他們能彼此協(xié)作.故選G.
38.A考查上下文理解判斷能力.根據(jù)下文The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it.When the people open the beehive and take the honey,they give the grubs to the bird可知,鳥飛到蜂窩,人們跟隨著.當(dāng)人們打開蜂窩去拿蜜時,把幼蟲給鳥兒.上文應(yīng)是:所以鳥和人就相互幫助.
39.C 考查上下文理解判斷能力.根據(jù)下文When the dolphins find a large group of fish,they make a noise to tell the fishermen可知,當(dāng)它們發(fā)現(xiàn)一大群魚時,它們就會發(fā)出響聲告訴漁民.上文應(yīng)是:而海豚卻能使用聲音輕松地找到魚.故選C.
40.E 考查上下文理解判斷能力.根據(jù)下文Meanwhile,the dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!可知,同時,海豚肯定很高興幫忙,因為它們也教它們的寶寶怎樣協(xié)助人類.上文應(yīng)是:漁民們教他們的孩子怎樣與海豚協(xié)作.故選E.

8.I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun,potting flowers outdoors.But that was before the pair of crows (烏鴉).Out of nowhere,they had set up their base camp in our backyard.
We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning.It was early,and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood.I figured they'd go away soon.But,no.They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise.I admit I got a little desperate.
Then,on Sunday afternoon,I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground.I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass.Its eyes were milky,and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it.Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away.I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.
It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground,growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above.The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.
To be honest,I've never been much of a bird person.I also have a healthy respect for birds.They're basically living dinosaurs.
I wish they'd chosen another backyard.There are only so many sunny days in Seattle,and I still can't do any gardening out there.But I'm also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close.It's pretty amazing.
The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees,butterflies,and yes,birds.They are welcome here.
32.The arrival of the two crowsC.
A.a(chǎn)ngered the author's neighbors
B.frightened the author's dog
C.disturbed the author's life
D.damaged the author's backyard

A.She wanted to take some photos.
B.She wanted to protect the little bird.
C.The dog kept making loud noises.
D.The parent crows were to attack the dog.

20.Chinese female film stars,like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi,due to the charm of their films,have set a good image for Chinese women in the world.Compared with Chinese women,the image of Chinese men is not so good in the eyes of Western women,the Shanghai Evening Post reported.
    In March 2006,Zhang Jiehai,a doctorate(博士學(xué)位) holder at the Sociology Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences,led a research team to investigate how Western women look at Chinese men.The survey shows that many Western women think Chinese men are mostly known for their care for the family.Chinese men,as the Western women say,are willing to spend money for women.As to their shortcomings,Western women think that Chinese men do not have good manners and that some Chinese men have the habit of spitting everywhere,keeping nails and hair long,picking their noses and ears in public places,and not cleaning their teeth thoroughly.These bad habits make many Western women think that Chinese men are unwilling to take care of their personal image.
    The survey was carried out in two ways,by questionnaires and interviews.All the respondents(調(diào)查對象) agreed that Chinese men show much tender loving care for the family and that many Chinese men do know how to respect women.They open the door for women and carry their handbags for them.For some American women,the bad image of Chinese men in the world is largely because of Hollywood films.In many Hollywood films,Chinese men usually do not have a good image.But this has been changed by Hong Kong film star Chow Yun-Fat.After the Chinese film Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon was shown in cinemas in the United States in 2002,many Westerners began to change their impression of Chinese men.
32.Which statement best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?D
A.Chinese female film stars enjoy as great fame as Chinese male film stars in the world.
B.Chinese male film stars do not perform well in their films in the eyes of Western women.
C.Chinese female film stars don't like Western male film stars.
D.Chinese female film stars have set a good image for Chinese women.

D.Picking their noses and ears in public places.
34.In some American women's eyes,Chinese men's images are bad because ofC.
A.Chinese female film stars
B.Chinese male film stars
C.Hollywood films
D.Film stars in Hong Kong
35.What does the passage mainly deal with?A

4.On a clear night,the sky is a wonderful thing.Is there life out there somewhere?Is there another place like Earth where life might exist?If so,where is it?And how far away is it?
  Recently,the American Kepler spacecraft found"22b",a planet about six hundred light years away.It is the first planet in a"habitable zone"outside the solar system.That means the planet orbits a star like our Sun,but it is not too close to it,nor too far away.Because of this position,scientists say Kepler22b might have water,one of the main things needed for life.
  The newly-discovered planet is about two and a half times larger than the Earth.It is closer to its star than we are to the Sun,but 22b's sun is smaller than ours,and doesn't produce as much heat.Scientific instruments show the new planet could be made of gases,rocks or some kinds of liquids.
  The Kepler spacecraft was named in honor of Johannes Kepler,the seventeenth century German astronomer.It was designed to examine a small part of the Milky Way galaxy and search for places like the Earth.It was made to inspect over 150,000 stars and measure how bright they are.
    If a planet passes between Kepler and the star,it blocks out part of the light.That is what suggested to scientists that there is at least one planet orbiting the star.The instruments on Kepler show the new planet as a small,black dot moving across its sun.An important part of the Kepler experiment is on the Earth.After the spacecraft gathers information,scientists use the space telescopes on the ground.
  Scientists have found over 2,300 new planets since Kepler was launched.About 200 of these are about the size of the Earth.Most are much larger,but it is the new planet's length from its star that is important.For life to possibly exist there,the planet's temperature must not be too hot or too cold.
29.What can we learn about Kepler-22b?D
A.Water must have existed on it.
B.It takes humans about 600 years to get there.
C.It is made of gases,rocks and many kinds of liquids.
D.It is the first planet outside the solar system where life may survive.
30.The Kepler spacecraft was sent into space toB.
A.show honor to Johannes Kepler
B.look for Earth-like planets in the sky
C.observe the changes of a star's brightness
D.measure the brightest star among 150,000 stars
31.In Paragraph 5 the author mainly tells usA.
A.how the Kepler system works
B.if the Kepler system sees a new planet
C.how the Kepler system uses the space telescopes
D.why an important part of the Kepler system remains on the Earth
32.What can we infer from the passage?D
A.Life may exist on the new planet in another form.
B.It is colder on the new planet because its sun is smaller.
C.Life can't exist on planets which are much larger than the Earth.
D.The new planet's length from its star decides on the possibility of life existence.

14.I got invited to go with some friends to a game at another school.A senior will be driving us,and I think she's a good driver,but it's someone my parents don't know.I want to tell my parents where I'm going,but what if I ask and they say"no"?I'll end up wishing I never mentioned it and just went ahead and did it anyway.
If you want permission,it's best to build a track record of honesty and trust.Letting a parent know where you're going is always a good idea.
You may worry that telling your parents puts you at risk of getting"no"for an answer.But there's a good chance your parents might be OK with you going.If you go but don't tell them,you risk losing something more important-your parents'trust.
Parents who find out their kids did something behind their backs may be less likely to give permission to do things in the future.When trust is broken like this,parents wonder if teens are trying to hide something-and what they imagine can be far worse than the reality.
Before you talk to your parents about the game,think about which approach will help them feel most comfortable with giving you more freedom.Maybe they'd like to meet the person driving or talk to friends who have driven with her in the past.If your parents have questions or hesitate about letting you go,find out what their worries are and then do your best to answer them.
1.From Paragraph 1we know that the writerC.
A.a(chǎn)ppears nervous           
B.looks worried
C.feels confused             
D.seems discouraged
2.What is the best way to get parents'permission according to the passage?D
A.To get more attention from them.
B.To risk gaining their permission.
C.To keep off the track of reality.
D.To be honest and win their trust.
3.What does the writer really want to tell us?A
A.How to win over parents.
B.How to deal with strict parents.
C.Which effective approach to use.
D.How to get freedom from parents.

1.FROM dogs and cats to pandas and penguins,lists of adorable animals can be very varied.However,when it comes to scary animals,the answers are often more or less the same-snakes and spiders are among the most dreadful ones for the majority of us.
However,most of us have never been bitten by a snake or a spider.So does this mean we are born with a fear of certain things?
Scientists have been actively looking into it for a long time.For example,studies have suggested that babies find live animals much more interesting than stuffed (毛絨填充的) ones.This interest continues even if those animals are snakes and spiders.
A study published in Psychological Science in 2008seemed to show that snakes did have a different impact on babies.When scientists presented babies with animal videos along with random sounds of happy or frightened human voices,they found that babies looked at snakes for longer than any other animal however the voices sounded.
Now,a team from Rutgers University in New Jersey,US has tried to challenge the idea that babies are born with a fear of snakes and spiders.According to the BBC,the researchers measured babies'physiological (生理的) responses as they watched videos of snakes and elephants paired with both fearful and happy voices.
Scientists then set out to surprise the babies to see how they would react.They presented them with an unexpected bright flash of light as they watched a video.As the BBC explained,a surprise like this would be more intense (強烈的) if the babies were already scared,just like when we watch scary films and jump more if we are already scared.
However,according to their findings,published recently in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology,babies'surprised responses were not bigger when watching a video of a snake,even when it was shown with a fearful voice.Their heart response was also lower,which also made it seem that babies were not scared.
"Children do not have an innate fear of snakes,"concluded the study.Even if previous studies had suggested that babies have different responses to snakes,it isn't necessarily related to fear."It's possible that paying more attention to something might make fear learning easier later on.It leads to fear learning,"said research co-author Vanessa LoBue.She further explained that it was a good thing that humans didn't have an inborn fear of snakes because it would make a young infant's  desire to explore new things less strong.
Instead,we have evolved to quickly learn to be afraid of something if it turns out to be dangerous.

62.What is the article mainly about?B
A.How people's fear of snakes and spiders has evolved.
B.Whether humans are born with a fear of snakes and spiders.
C.Why snakes and spiders are considered the most dreadful animals.
D.How babies react differently from adults to snakes and spiders.
63.What was the finding of the study published in Psychological Science in 2008?D
A.The longer babies looked at snakes in the video,the less scared they were.
B.The fearful voices babies heard when watching snake videos doubled their fear of snakes.
C.Babies'responses to the snake in the videos were greatly affected by the types of voices they heard.
D.Babies took more interest in snakes than the other animals in the videos regardless of which human voices they heard.
64.The underlined word"innate"in the second-to-last paragraph is the closest in meaning toA.
A.from birth     B.from learning      C.lasting     D.immediate
65.How did babies react when the researchers from Rutgers University surprised them while they were watching a video of a snake?C
A.They paid more attention to the snakes when they heard a fearful voice.
B.Babies'heart responses changed slightly when they heard a fearful voice.
C.A fearful voice didn't make their surprised response become more intense.
D.They became more scared when they experienced an unexpected bright flash of light.
66.According to Vanessa LoBue,since babies don't have an inborn fear of snakes,B
A.it would make it easier for them to learn fear
B.it would make them more willing to explore new things
C.it would lead them to stay away from dangerous things
D.it would encourage them not to be afraid of anything.

18.As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows,there is far more to a family meal than food.Sociologist (社會心理學(xué)家)Michael Lewis has been studying 50families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(錄像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes.They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children.But as the number of children gets larger,conversation gives way to the parents'efforts to control the loud noise they make.That can have an important effect on the children."In general the more question-asking the parents do,the higher the children's IQ scores."
Lewis says,"And the more children there are,the less question-asking there is."
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹).Lewis found that in families with three or four children,dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child,who has the most to talk about,and the youngest,who needs the most attention."Middle children are invisible(看不見的),"says Lewis."When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner,chances are it's the middle child."There is,however,one thing that stops all conversations and prevents anyone from having attention:"When the TV is on,"Lewis says,"dinner is a non-event."

56.The writer's purpose in writing the text is toD.
A.show the relationship between parents and children
B.teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
C.give information about family problems
D.report on the findings of a study
57.Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner becauseB.
A.they are busy serving food to their children
B.they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
C.they have to pay more attention to younger children
D.they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
58.By saying"Middle children are invisible"in Paragraph 3,Lewis means that middle childrenA.
A.get the least attention from the family   
B.have to help their parents to serve dinner
C.a(chǎn)re often kept away from the dinner table
D.find it hard to keep up with other children
59.Lewis'research provides an answer to the questionD.
