15、 greyhounds(灰狗) and believe they need lots of exercise. They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding
16、is that greyhounds must be aggressive(好斗的) because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.Greyhounds can live for 12-14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They dont need a lot of space, dont make a lot o
17、f noise, and dont eat a lot for their size.Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33 cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mi
18、x of these.Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because theyre slim（苗条的）they dont have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold. Especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.56. The text is w
19、ritten mainly .A .to tell people how to raise greyhoundsB. to let people know more about greyhoundsC. to explain why greyhounds are aggressiveD .to describe greyhounds of different colors57. It can be inferred that greyhounds . A. love big doghouses B. like staying in bed all day C. make the best gu
20、ard dogsD. need some exercise outdoors58. Why does the author say that greyhounds make grest pets?A. They are big in size.B. They live a very long life.C. They can run races for some time.D. They are quiet and easy to look after.59. If you keep a pet greyhound, it is important .A. to keep it slimB.
21、to keep it warmC. to take special care of its legsD. to take it to animal doctors regularlyB When a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past. The ship construction showed how s
22、hips were built and operated during the seventeenth century. In this way, artifacts, objects made by human beings, provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago. Underwater archaeology-the study of ships, aircraft and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water-is really a p
23、roduct of the last 50 years. The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment .Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸），underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5000-year-old boats in the Mediterranean Sea. Underwa
24、ter archaeology can provide facts abut the past. In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunken in the past 6,000 years. There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of peoples way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times. Underwater archaeologists want to study these
25、 objects to add to the worlds knowledge of history, but they have to fight two enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors. Once sold, these objects are lost to experts. The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机）often used to repair ports. T
26、hese machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud. By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past, archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.60. What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage
27、? A. To provide background information of the topic B. To attract readers attention to the topic C. To use an example to support the topic D. To offer basic knowledge of the topic61.The aim of underwater archaeology is to . A. exploit water bodies B. search for underwater life C. study underwater ar

A. sea hunters have better diving equipmentB. their knowledge of world history is limitedC. dredging machines cause damage to the portsD. sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research63. What is the mai
29、n purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a young branch of learning. B. To discuss the scientists problems.C. To explain peoples way of life in the past.D. To describe the sunken ships.CWhy I Dont Spare “Spare Change”“Poor but honest.” “The deserving (值得帮助的) poor.” These words always come to my mind
30、 when I think of “the poor.” But I also think of people who, perhaps through alcohol (酒) or drugs, have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure. Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction (上瘾) really are “diseases,” as many people say, but m
31、y own feeling - based. Of course, not on any serious study - is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor.” And that is largely why I dont give spare change to beggars.But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving.” Deserving
32、what? My spare change? Or simply the governments assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity (慈善机构), but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone, or, am I perhaps simply
33、encouraging someone not to get help? Or, maybe even worse, am I supporting a cheat?If one believes in the value of private charity, one can either give to needy people or to charitable organizations. In giving to a beggar one may indeed be helping a person who badly needs help, but one cannot be cer
34、tain that one is giving to a needy person. In giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that ones money is likely to be used wisely. True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate person needs help at this moment - a cup of coffee or a sandwich - and the need wi
35、ll not be met unless I put my hand in my pocket right now. But I have come to think that the beggars whom I meet can get along without my spare change, and indeed perhaps they are actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs.I know nothing about these beggars, but its my impressi
36、on that they simply prefer begging to working. I am not generalizing about street people. I am talking about the about whom I actually meet. Thats why I do not give “spare change,” and I dont think I will in the future.64. What does the author think of beggars who take drugs? A. They should be given
37、 a check-up. B. They really need money to live. C. They have no pleasure in life. D. They are not worth helping.65. Why doesnt the author give money to street people? A. He doesnt think they need help. B. He doesnt have enough money to give. C. He is not convinced they will use it rightly. D. He bel
38、ieves they can get help from the government.66. In the second paragraph, the author presents his idea by _. A. asking questions for people to think about B. giving examples to support his argument C. raising questions and answering them D. expressing his opinions directly67. Which of the following o
39、pinions does the author accept? A. Drug addiction is a disease. B. Some street people are poor and needy. C. Most beggars have received enough help. D. Charitable organizations handle money properly.DWhile parents, particularly mothers, have always been attached to their infants (婴儿), societal condi
40、tions frequently made this attachment difficult to maintain (保持). First of all, the high infant death rate in the premodern times meant that such attachments often ended in hopelessness. Perhaps to prevent the sadness that infant death caused, a number of societal practices developed which worked ag
41、ainst early attachment of mother and child.One of these premodern attachment-discouraging practices was to leave infants unnamed until they had survived into the second year. Another practice that discouraged maternal (母亲的) attachment was tightly wrapping (包裹) infants. Wrapping effectively prevented
42、 the close physical interactions like stroking (抚摸) and kissing that are so much a part of modern mothers and fathers affection for their infants.A third practice which had the same distancing effect was wet-nursing. Breast-feeding (母乳哺育) was not popular among the well-to-do in the early modern time
43、s; infants were often fed by wet nurses hired for the purpose. In some places, such as nineteenth-century France, city infants were sent to wet nurses in the country. Often a wet nurse would feed her own child first, leaving little for the city infant - who, in many case, died. In Rouen, the death r
44、ate for children sent to a wet nurse was 35 percent.68. Babies were unnamed until they were two so that _. A. an old social custom could be kept up B. maternal attachment could be maintained C. they could have better chances to survive D. their parents would not be too sad if they died69. Why were b
45、abies wrapped? A. To protect them from the cold. B. To distance their mothers from them. C. To make them feel more comfortable. D. To make it easy for their mothers to hold them.70. Wet nurses were women who _. A. babysat city infants B. fed babies of other families C. sent their babies to the count
46、ry D. failed to look after their babies71. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Societal Conditions in Premodern Times B. Practices of Reducing Maternal Attachment C. Poor Health Service and High Infant Death Rate D. Differences between Modern and Premodern ParentsEA study published in Septem
47、ber suggests there is a surprising way to get people to avoid unhealthy foods: change their memories. Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California at Irvine asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities (个性) and food experiences. “One week later,” Loftus says, “we to
48、ld those people wed fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences.” Some accounts included one key additional detail (细节). “You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream.” The researchers then changed this detail into a manufactured (人
49、为促成的) memory through leading questions - Who were you with? How did you feel? By the end of the study, up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made them sick, and many said theyd avoid eating it.When Loftus published her findings, she started getting calls from peo
50、ple begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries. Unfortunately, its not that easy. False memories appear to work only for foods you dont eat on a regular basis. But most important, it is likely that false memories can be implanted (灌输) only in people who are unaware of the men
51、tal control. And lying to a patient is immoral, even if a doctor believes its for the patients benefit.Loftus says theres nothing to stop parents from trying it with their overweight children. “I say, wake up - parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years, and nobody seems to mind. If th
52、ey can prevent diseases caused by fatness and all the other problems that come with that, you might think thats more moral lie. Decide that for yourself.”72. Why did Loftus ask the volunteers to answer some questions? A. To improve her computer program. B. To find out their attitudes towards food. C
53、. To find out details she can make use of. D. To predict what food theyll like in the future.73. What did Loftus find out from her research? A. People believe what the computer tells them. B. People can be led to believe in something false. C. People tend to forget their childhood experiences. D. Pe
54、ople are not always aware of their personalities.74. According to the study, people may stop having a certain food if they _. A. learn it is harmful for health B. lie to themselves that they dont want it C. are willing to let doctors control their minds D. think they once had a bad experience of eat
