【題目】閱讀理解。

A dog, it is said, is a man’s best friend. Put a dog, a kid and a book together, and you have a struggling reader’s best friend.

The therapy dogs of R.E.A.D. – Reading Education Assistance Dogs – have been helping children improve their reading skills since 1999, when Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) began the program in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Today, tens of thousands of R.E.A.D. teams – dogs and their owners – volunteer to spend time with youngsters in schools and libraries across the United States and around the world. The idea is that sharing a book with a nonjudgmental (不帶評(píng)論的) partner encourages students’ confidence and helps develop a love of reading.

Izzy, a Havanese therapy dog, is a regular visitor to Public School 57 in East Harlem, New York. Students meet him in the library, pick out a book and sit down on the carpet. Izzy snuggles (依偎) up to them and gets ready to hear a story.

“I love reading to Izzy because he listens to me, and he doesn’t make fun of me when I make a mistake,” says third-grader Aelane Vasquez. The 9-year-old, whose parents are from Mexico, is one of 15 Latin-American students at the school who were selected for the program.

“All the students that we work with in the R.E.A.D. program were behind reading levels at the beginning of the year,” Bridget McElroy, who teaches English as a Second Language, explained. “Now most of them have reached the average level, if not above it.” That’s important, because achieving proficiency (熟練) in reading is vital for kids to succeed. Studies have shown that students who can’t read at grade level by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate high school by the age of 19.

The R.E.A.D. teams from New York Therapy Animals work with 175 kids at Public School 57 and nine other schools.

McElroy said she sees a marked difference in Aelane and her classmates, and not just in study. “Not only do the kids have time to practice reading, what we are really seeing is that they are excited to read and practice even when Izzy is not here,” she said.

【1】According to this passage, dogs are the best friend of kids because ____.

A. they keep kids company through therapy

B. they can protect kids from danger

C. they are helpful to encourage kids to read

D. they are struggling and work hard

【2】What does the example of Aelane Vasquez show?

A. Kids from Mexico love reading to Izzy.

B. Only Latin-American students can be chosen for the program.

C. The R.E.A.D. teams are responsible for the selection.

D. Listening without judgment is inspiring for the kids.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The students in the R.E.A.D. program improve a lot only in study.

B. Without proficiency in reading, it’s difficult for kids to succeed.

C. All the students in the R.E.A.D. program can be above the reading level.

D. When not accompanied by the dog, kids will stop practicing reading consequently.

【題目】請(qǐng)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

My mom has eyes in the back of her head．She also taught me from an early age to be suspicious of strange men, especially when they give you presents．One day, a “nice man” bearing flowers managed to steal 20 euros from her purse, while she was holding it in her hands．“He said he was collecting for a church charity so I pulled out a euro,” she explains, “He said ‘no, no, that’s too much’ and offered to look in my purse to find a smaller coin．He must have slid out that 20 euro note at the same time．I did not even notice until an hour later．I felt so stupid.”

According to neuroscientists, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket is not having nifty (熟練的) fingers, it’s having a working knowledge of the loopholes (漏洞) in our brain．The most important of these loopholes is the fact that our brains are not set up to multi-task．Most of the time that is a good thing — it allows us to filter (過濾) out all but the most important features of the world around us．But a good trickster can use it to against you．This kind of trick involves capturing all of somebody’s attention with other movements．Street pickpockets often use this effect to their advantage by manufacturing a situation that can not help but overload your attention system．Other strategies are more psychological．Pickpockets tend to hang out a “beware of pickpockets” signs, because the first thing people do when they read it is check they still have their valuables, helpfully giving away where they are．And in my mom’s case, the thief’s best trick was not coming across like a pickpocket．“He was a very nice guy and very confident．Not someone that would cause you to suspect,” she says．Apollo Robbins, a stage pickpocket, said smart move, like moving your hand in an arc (弧) motion rather than a straight line, is another popular strategy employed by tricksters．

At last, it should be pointed out that most thefts are opportunistic．The skill level of most thieves is far less than you think．But they are opportunistic enough to keep up with new technology.

【題目】Where do you keep ice? In the freezer, of course. That's what scientists might have thought when they were looking for a safe place to store ice from mountain glaciers from around the world. They’ve decided to store ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glaciers in places like the Alps to melt.

Jerome Chappellaz of the French National Centre for Scientific Research is involved in creating an ice vault (地下室）there. He says: “We are probably the only scientific community whose sample (樣本) is in danger of disappearing from the face of the planet. If you work on rocks or on tree rings, the raw material is still here and will be for many centuries."

And why do scientists need to study ice from the Alps？Ice formed on the top of a mountain is made of snow accumulated over thousands of years. Trapped air bubbles (氣泡) contain samples of the atmosphere that existed when that ice was formed. Ice is a record of climate. By examining ice, we know carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher now than in the last three million years. Researchers use this kind of data to build computer models and try to predict what might happen in the future.

The ice vault will be housed in a snow cave at the Concordia Research Station, which is operated by scientists from France and Italy. The ice samples will be sealed in bags and placed 10 meters below the surface at a constant temperature of -50*C. This will put the scientists’ minds at rest. Losing the ice samples would be a disaster, and nobody wants to see a mine of scientific knowledge lost forever in a giant pool.

【1】What is the researchers' purpose of studying ice?

A. To learn about climate.

B. To learn about the Alps.

C. To trap air bubbles.

D. To reduce carbon dioxide.

【2】Jerome compares ice with rocks and tree rings to state that ________.

A. ice should be stored at home

B. it’s more valuable to study ice

C. ice disappears very quickly

D. it's necessary to store ice

【3】What makes Antarctica a safe place to store ice?

A. Its large mountains.

B. Its function as a freezer.

C. The abundant ice samples there.

D. The absence of global warming.

【4】What do scientists think of storing ice in Antarctica?

A. They consider it an easy job.

B. They’re not optimistic about it.

C. They think it will cause disasters.

D. They think it’s a reliable way.

【題目】In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There’re too many cars, and you can’t move around a lot.”

Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (導(dǎo)航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What’s unique (獨(dú)特的) isthat we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what’s going to happen in front of you when leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just answer current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give thefastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.

“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.

【1】Professor Cyrus Shahabi is often late for work because of ________.

A. his living far away

B. his car’s navigation system

C. bad traffic conditions

D. too many cars in his university

A. It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.

B. It can make sure that you will never be late for work.

C. It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.

D. It can use a lot of information and data all over the world.

【3】The underlined word “ hits” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.

A. has accident

B. gets to

C. turns left or right

D. collects traffic data

【4】What’s Professor Shahabi’s attitude toward his invention?

【題目】For most caffeine(咖啡因)consumers, its main benefit is that it helps you get more done. This is what makes it unusual, says Stephen Braun, author of Buzz: The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine.

“Its appeal is that it helps us earn more money,” he adds. “What makes it different from other drugs is that it’s used as a productivity tool –– not for pleasure.”

Many of history’s creative minds have also been connected with a large amount of caffeine consumption (消耗).

According to one biographer, the French novelist and playwright Balzac drank as many as 50 cups of coffee a day. “Were it not for coffee one could not write, which is to say one could not live,” he once insisted.

For seven years, the film-maker David Lynch ate at the same Los Angeles diner every day, drinking up to seven sweetened cups of coffee “with lots of sugar” in one sitting, which he said would guarantee that “l(fā)ots of ideas” arrived.

Ludwig van Beethoven was said to have painstakingly counted out exactly 60 coffee beans per cup when he brewed(煮)coffee.

Perhaps recent tales of caffeine excess (過量) featured the singer Robbie Williams, who reportedly consumed 36 cups of black coffee and 20 cans of Red Bull a day.

It is the routine task itself, as much as the stimulating(刺激的)effects of caffeine, that makes the process so important, says Mason Currey, author of Daily Rituals: How Artists Work. “A lot of artists use the process of making coffee as a gateway to the creative process,” he adds. “You need to get into the right mindset to do that sort of work, and the preparation process provides a focus.”

One problem with attempting to control caffeine, says Braun, is that it affects everyone differently –– it is impossible to work out a “safe” limit that works for everyone. “Eventually, you have to become your own scientist –– there isn’t an alternative to careful self-experimentation,” he says.

【1】The examples of some famous people are given to show that _______.

A. most artists like drinking coffee

B. drinking coffee helps artists make more money

C. there’s a link between drinking coffee and creating ideas

D. drinking coffee makes artists become more successful

【2】What leads to the artists’ creative process according to Mason Currey?

A. Being lost in thought. B. Drinking the coffee.

C. Brewing the coffee. D. Getting a good mindset.

【3】What does Braun advise us to do in the end?

A. To drink less coffee.

B. Never to limit caffeine use.

C. To work out a safe level of caffeine use.

D. Never to take more coffee than you need.
