2、hat I have always been interested in animals and zoos.According to my parents,the first word I was able to say with any _2_ was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”,but the word “zoo”,which I would _3_ over and over again with a shrill _4_ until someone,in order to _5_ me up,would take me to the
3、zoo.When I grew a little older,we lived in Greece and I had a great _6_ of pets,ranging from owls to seahorses,and I spent all my spare time _7_ the countryside in search of fresh specimens to _8_ to my collection of pets._9_ on I went for a year to the City Zoo,as a student _10_,to get experience o
4、f the large animals,such as lions,bears,bison and ostriches,which were not easy to keep at home.When I left,I _11_ had enough money of my own to be able to _12_ my first trip and I have been going _13_ ever since then.Though a collectors job is not an easy one and is full of _14_,it is certainly a j
5、ob which will appeal to all those who love animals and _15_.【文章大意】本文介绍了作者是怎样成为动物爱好者的(从小就喜欢动物)。1A.regionBfieldCplace Dcase解析:选C。in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”。此句意思是:别人经常问到的问题之一,是当初我是如何爱上动物的。2A.clarity BemotionCsentiment Daffection解析:选A。这句话的意思是:作者在牙牙学语之时,最早发清楚的音是“zoo”(动物园),而不是“妈妈”、“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清
6、晰”。填入其他选项emotion(感情);sentiment(多愁善感);affection(友爱),不合逻辑。3A.recite BrecognizeCread Drepeat解析:选D。根据后面的over and over again,应选“repeat”。4A.volume BnoiseCvoice Dpitch解析:选C。小孩想去动物园,便不停地发出尖叫声,故选“voice”。A shrill voice与scream的意思接近。volume(音量);noise(噪音);pitch(音调),均不符合要求。5A.close BshutCstop Dcomfort解析:选B。shut sb
7、.up是指让某人住口,为了让孩子停止尖叫,只好带他去动物园。6A.many BamountCnumber Dsupply解析:选C。a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式;a great/large amount of后跟不可数名词;只有a great/large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式。7A.living BcultivatingCreclaiming Dexploring解析:选D。living后必须接介词in,意为“居住”;cultivating耕种;reclaiming开垦;只有exploring有探察的意思。8A.increase BincludeC
8、add Denrich解析:选C。add to相当于increase,增加。其余选项后面都不接to。9A.Later BFurtherCThen DSubsequently解析:选A。later on为固定短语,意为“后来”。10A.attendant BkeeperCmember Dassistant解析:选D。attendant仆人;keeper可理解为“饲养员”,但是a student keeper容易被误解为“收留学生的人”;assistant有“助手”之义。作者一边上学,一边在动物园里打工,只能当助手。11A.luckily BgladlyCnearly Dsuccessfully解
9、析:选D。因为钱是在动物园打工挣的,选successfully更能体现其含义。12A.pay BprovideCallow Dfinance解析:选D。finance my first trip意为“支付我的旅行费用”;pay后应接介词for,其他选项的意思相差甚远。13A.normally BregularlyCusually Doften解析:选B。此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly比较贴切。14A.expectations BsorrowsCexcitement Ddisappointments解析:选D。此句是由though引导的让步状语从句,应与主句意思相对立。选项中,so
10、rrows和disappointments与主句的appeal to相对立,但sorrows的分量太重。15A.excursion BtravelCjourney Dtrip解析:选B。excursion短途旅行;journey(从一地到另一地的)长距离,具体的旅途;travel旅行,旅游,海外旅行;trip旅行,远足。*结束Students who want to study in the United States may find that their chances for financial aid are limited.

11、eir education with their own savings or their familys money. A recent report from the Institute of International Education in New York looked at 2022-2022 school year. Colleges and universities in the United States had more than half a million foreign students. 63% of them paid for school mostly by

Still, they represented the main support for just four percent of international students.Those at the graduate level, however
14、, are more likely than undergraduates to receive financial aid in the United States.

37、DScaredC. 63-66 ACDB*结束Even plants can run a fever, especially when theyre under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet awaystraight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and ot
38、her satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pe
39、st problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colourcoded map showing where p
40、lants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spotspray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and longterm backers were hard to find. But with the renewed
41、 concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray J
42、ackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.51Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are_.Afac

46、on ads,promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs,slim the face,smooth wrinkles,or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their prom
47、oters. The results they produce are questionable,and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public,it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug,FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can requi
48、re proof under the Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device,FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health,FDA can request the producer
49、 or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily,or it can take legal action,including seizure(查封)of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor,which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to
50、 the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously,most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually.
51、Before buying,it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.55It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are_.Aobjective Bcostly Cunreliable Dillegal56FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product _.Aif it is a drug Bif it is a deviceCif

54、leaving behind a host of domestic (国内的) problems with the visit that recognizes the regions economic and diplomatic importance. “Obama”s trip includes stops in Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea, and his message will be simple, says Nicolas Lardy at the Peterson Institute for International Econ
55、omics. “Well, I think his broadest aim is to convince Asians that the United States is fully committed to the region that we have an agenda thats much broader than they saw over the past eight years of the very heavy focus on anti-terrorism.”Obamas first stop is Japan, where he meets with the new Pr
56、ime Minister Yukio Hatoyama who has promised to steer a diplomatic course more independent of Washington. While Japan is seen as a getting-to-know-you stop, when Obama heads to the Singapore for the APEC meeting, he will likely face pressure on trade. “Many Asians are concerned about what US trade p
57、olicy will be, and theyve been somewhat alarmed by the fact that the president really hasnt set out very much revision for what US trade policy is in his administration.”But the critical leg of the trip will come in China, his third stop where Obama will have to navigate the complex relationship wit
58、h the country that is the largest holder of US debt. “As you say, you know, if you owe the bank one dollar, its your problem, if you owe the bank, you know, 3 million dollars, its the banks problem, so its similar with China. I mean they have no interest in trying to use the influence with us, becau
59、se eventually, theyre the one that they own all those dollars.”Also on the table will be North Korea and Irans nuclear ambitions as well as cooperation on Afghanistan.With Obama enjoying sky high popularity level in the countries he is visiting, detailed results may be beside the point, given that O
60、bama is still in his first year in office, analysts say this trip is mostly about laying the ground work for the future. 59、From the second paragraph, we can infer that .AJapan has not been the closest friend of AmericaBJapan and Singapore will give America some pressure on trade CJapan is concerned
