18.In a world today of immense technology,population growth and economic flourish,planning for future residential (適合居住的) and commercial developments needs careful analysis with well thought through assumptions about effects on the environment and the people of the community.
One example of a growing city is Wooster,Ohio,my place of residency,Wooster in the last five years has grown considerably in population,leading to a growth in commercial business.Surrounded by farmland,Wooster's planning commission chose to extend the community into these farm areas in the form of residential and commercial areas.
Picture this-corn fields,old trees,clean air,country roads,and wildlife are all part of the area.Within four years,the people living on this farm step outside on their front porch to view an extensive shopping center containing Wal-Mart,McDonald's,Wendy's,TCBY,and a Cinemark movie theatre.The once quiet road is now a city street with traffic lights,busy with automobiles day and night.The air smells of car exhaust and fast food.
Some destruction of farmland is unavoidable when a city expands.Instead of expanding outward,planning commissions should consider interior(內(nèi)部的)remodeling of a city.Tearing down unusable buildings could remodel many areas inside the city.In addition,commercialized buildings could extend upwards to avoid unnecessary use of land.
Environmentally,commercial expansion is harmful to the land.Besides forms of pollution,wildlife,including both plants and animals,is put at risk.A planning commission could have realized the benefits of environmental protection.Why not preserve the beauty and naturalness of the land while at the same time allowing for growth?
With a steady growth of population and the need for more homes and more workplaces,many problems arise when planning for the future.The hillsides,fields and animal habitats need to be preserved while expanding cities.In the future,a world covered with concrete and asphalt(瀝青)could become reality.Serious research and analysis are needed when planning for the future of our home communities and for the entire globe to avoid such a miserable result.
32.It can be inferred from the passage thatB.
A.it is unavoidable to destroy farmland when a city grows
B.Wooster used to be a quiet and peaceful city surrounded by farmland
C.with many nationwide shopping centers,Wooster lost its uniqueness
D.commercial expansion has done no harm to Wooster

A.has tried its best to protect the environment    
B.preserves the hillsides and fields
C.should have avoided such a tragedy        
D.is the cause of environmental pollution
34.Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea of the passage?D
A.Planning for future residential and commercial developments has bad effects on the environment and the living things.
B.With a safety growth of population,more homes and more workplaces are needed.
C.With immense technology,population growth and economic prosperity,we need to plan for the future.
D.When planning for future developments,effects on the environment should be taken into account.
35.What is the writer's attitude towards the current planning of cities?A

B.Favorable.
C.Objective(客觀的)

分析 本文屬于議論文,當(dāng)今世界技術(shù)強(qiáng)大、人口增長(zhǎng)、經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮,對(duì)未來(lái)居民區(qū)和商業(yè)區(qū)的發(fā)展規(guī)劃需要謹(jǐn)慎分析,要充分設(shè)想其對(duì)環(huán)境與社區(qū)居民所造成的影響.同時(shí)作者批評(píng)了不注重保護(hù)環(huán)境的商業(yè)開(kāi)發(fā)行為.

解答 32.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段第一句"Picture this-corn fields,old trees,clean air,country roads,and wildlife are all part of the area."可推斷出,Wooster曾經(jīng)是一個(gè)被農(nóng)田包圍的安靜祥和的城市.故B正確.
33.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第三句A planning commission could have realized the benefits of environmental protection."計(jì)劃委員會(huì)本可以意識(shí)到環(huán)境保護(hù)的益處"可推斷出,作者認(rèn)為Wooster的計(jì)劃委員會(huì)本應(yīng)該避免這樣的悲。蔆正確.
34.D 主旨大意題.文章第一段是論點(diǎn),當(dāng)今世界技術(shù)強(qiáng)大、人口增長(zhǎng)、經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮,對(duì)未來(lái)居民區(qū)和商業(yè)區(qū)的發(fā)展規(guī)劃需要謹(jǐn)慎分析,要充分設(shè)想其對(duì)環(huán)境與社區(qū)居民所造成的影響.故答案選D.
35、A.觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題.根據(jù)第三段后兩句、第四段第一句以及全文最后一句等都可以看出,作者以自己家鄉(xiāng)為例,批評(píng)了不注重保護(hù)環(huán)境的商業(yè)開(kāi)發(fā)行為.故選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本篇文章難點(diǎn)在推理判斷題上.推理判斷題要以表面文字為前提,以具體事實(shí)為依據(jù)進(jìn)行推理,做出判斷.這種推理方式比較直接,考生只要弄清事實(shí),即可結(jié)合上下文推斷出合理的結(jié)論.

10.Now scientists have discovered the first evidence that the animals actually behave like their masters.Just like children,they adopt a"look and learn"approach which means they can mimic (模仿) human's actions when going about their tasks.
    Biologists and psychologists at the universities of Vienna and Oxford designed an experiment to test the theory that dogs do have the ability to copy what they see,using a simple wooden box.In the study,ten owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box,sometimes using their heads to push a handle and sometimes using their hands.
    In the first part of the test,five dogs were rewarded with a piece of sausage for copying their owners'actions.The other five were rewarded with food for not copying,and using other methods.With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times,and the time taken for a dog to get it"right"on 85 percent of attempts (17 goes out of 20)was recorded.The dogs encouraged to mirror their owners reached this point almost three times sooner on average than those rewarded for not copying them.In the second part of the test,all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the method their owners used.The five dogs previously rewarded for copying their owners reached the 85 percent mark more than twice as the other five.
    In a paper published in Proceeding of the Royal Society,they concluded,"Like humans,dogs can't help imitating actions they see."Going further,they said,"The results suggest the imitative (模仿的) behavior of dogs is shaped more by their developmental interactions with humans than by their evolutionary (進(jìn)化的) history of domestication (馴化)."
    Caroline Kisko,from the Kennel club,said,"A dog's behavior is influenced much like that of a child learning right from wrong and adopting similar patterns of behavior.We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore positively influence the behavior of their pets."
38.What's the best title of the passage?C
A.Dogs Are Intelligent Animals         
B.Dogs Are like Children Most
C.Dogs Behave like Their Masters         
D.Dogs Can Complete Simple Tasks
39.The underlined part"they"in Paragraph 4 most probably refers toD.
A.the dogs'masters                    
B.the magazine's publishers
C.a(chǎn)ll the people involved in the experiment
D.the biologists and psychologists
40.The researchers believe dogs'imitative behavior comes mainly fromD.
A.domestication            
B.human rewards     
C.evolution             
D.human-dog interactions
41.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?B
A.Masters should influence their dogs as early as possible.
B.A man's bad behavior may influence his dog.
C.Dogs can't be influenced by men easily.
D.Dogs always behave positively.
