1.Cool Cats-Cheetahs
     Cheetah cubs(babies) are cute,furry,energetic,and downright lovely.  And when they get older,they'll run faster than any other animal on the planet.
     Five cheetah cubs were born in the summer of 2005 at the National Zoo in Washington,D.C.Their mother,Zazi,was 4 years old.When the cubs were 10 weeks old,they weighed 9 pounds and were about the size of house cats.They were the second cheetah litter(一窩) to be born at the zoo in seven months and the second litter to be born in the zoo's 116-year history.
"They're pretty quick,"Lauren Afdahl,an animal keeper at the zoo,told Senior Edition."Whenever they see something moving,they take off an  run."
     And,boy,cheetahs do like to run!They can reach speeds as high as 60 miles per hour.The cubs reach their top speed when they are about a year old.
     The National Zoo's first litter of cheetah cubs was born in November 2004.  When almost a year old,those cubs weighed more than 30 pounds. Zazi's cubs stay with her for at least a year. When they are fully grown,the cats may be sent to other zoos.
     Cheetahs are endangered animals.About 100 years ago,the wild cats roamed an area from North Africa to India.Today,cheetahs inhabit only the countries south of the Sahara desert.Just 12,000 to 15,000 now live in the wild.

分析 這篇文章屬于科普說明文,主要介紹了貓科動物--獵豹,并呼吁大家來保護(hù)這種瀕臨滅絕的動物.

解答 31.B  觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題    根據(jù)文章第一段第一句Cheetah cubs(babies) are cute,furry,energetic,and downright lovely.作者用一些褒義的詞來修飾獵豹,說明作者對它們的關(guān)心欣賞.
32.C  判斷推理題   根據(jù)文章第三段飼養(yǎng)員的話"They're pretty quick,""Whenever they see something moving,they take off an  run."可知,飼養(yǎng)員是客觀地對獵豹進(jìn)行描述.
33.A  主旨大意題   本文主要介紹了獵豹這種有趣的動物.其它選項(xiàng)在文章中也有出現(xiàn),都是屬于細(xì)節(jié)敘述,但不能概括文章大意.
34.D  判斷推理題   根據(jù)最后一段Cheetahs are endangered animals.Today,cheetahs inhabit only the countries south of the Sahara desert.Just 12,000 to 15,000 now live in the wild.可推斷出作者號召大家保護(hù)這種瀕臨滅絕的物種--獵豹.

點(diǎn)評 對于這種科普類文章,如果平時對背景知識有所了解的話,做題會相對容易一些.獵豹我們應(yīng)該比較熟悉,是世界上跑得最快的陸地動物.做題時注意作者的態(tài)度,根據(jù)一些形容詞就可以判斷,如31題,判斷推理題應(yīng)該根據(jù)文章進(jìn)行合理恰當(dāng)?shù)耐评恚荒苤饔^臆斷;主旨大意題根據(jù)全文進(jìn)行歸納,不能以偏概全,如33題的選項(xiàng)BCD就是如此.

6.The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on(從事) in later life,a new study has suggested.
Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with,the study by the Office for National Statistics found.
Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life.
A child born December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector,they found.A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots.Meanwhile,April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions,births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player,doctor or dentist.
The study was got by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last survey,the Daily Mail reported.Although these trends may be difficult to explain,correlations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.
Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia,Alzheimer's disease,asthma and autism.

11.Happiness is a journey
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married,have a baby,than another.Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are.After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse (配偶) gets his or her act together.When we get a nice car,and are able to go on a nice vacation when we retire.The truth is,there's no better time than right now.If not now,when?Our life will always be filled with challenges.It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza.He said,"for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin a real life.But there was always some obstacle in the way,something to be gotten through first,some unfinished business,time still to be served,a debt to be paid.Then life would begin.At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness.Happiness is the way.So treasure every moment that you have.
And remember that time waits for no one.So stop waiting until you finish school,until you go back to school; until you get married,until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey,not a destination.So,work like you don't need money,love like you've never been hurt,and dance like no one's watching.

32.In the third paragraph,the author uses Alfred Souza's quote in order toA.
A.support his viewpoint             
B.introduce one more topic
C.enrich the content of the article     
D.compare their different views on happiness
33.The underlined word"this"in the second paragraph probably refers to"D".
A.Life will be better after we get married,have a baby and another.
B.Our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together.
C.When we retire,we are able to go on a nice holiday
D.Our life is always filled with challenges.
34.The best title of the text might beC.
A.Owning the present is owning the future
B.Pursuing Happiness is Nature of Us Humans
C.Happiness is a journey,not a destination.
D.How to Possess Real Happiness
35.The main idea of the second paragraph is thatB.ll be much more productive and creative after ago
A.Only when we get whatever we want can we feel our life is complete.
B.Whatever happens in our life,we should live at present.
C.We shouldn't enjoy happiness at present but in the future.
D.We cannot enjoy happiness now because we are facing many challenges.

When the customer before you takes ages to pay for his or her groceries,you tap your foot impatiently and cough every now and then to remind the customer to move quickly;but no,he is still not hurrying up.It takes all of your power not to make a scene.However,if you imagine that customer to be someone you like,then you will find yourself not getting too annoyed,right?

When you're stressed,it's almost impossible to learn how to be patient with people.You've got to find a way to relax first.If you know you're going to be in a Situation where your patience will be tested,get yourself a massage(按摩)first.Remember:the more stressed you are,the faster you'll lose you r temper.
However,learning how to be patient with people is not a must in life.You've seen people who manage to survive day to day with unbelievably short tempers after all,
