A Brooklyn man who was quarreling with his girlfriend yesterday threw a dog off the balcony（陽臺） of her 23rd-story apartment in TriBeCa, killing it, the police said.
The man, John Jefferson, 43, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, has been charged（指控） with robbery, criminal possession of a weapon and animal cruelty, the police said. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center yesterday for psychiatric evaluation（精神病鑒定）, they said.
The incident began shortly before 11 a.m., the police said, when Mr. Jefferson went to visit his girlfriend, Eugenia Miller, 41, at her apartment on 80 North Moore Street. She had filed a police report on Friday accusing（控告）Mr. Jefferson of stealing from her, but yesterday she allowed him in and they began arguing, the police said.
Mr. Jefferson threatened Ms. Miller with a knife, and she called 911, the police said. When officers arrived at her door, she ran into the hallway and Mr. Jefferson stayed in the apartment, they said. Mr. Jefferson began throwing Ms. Miller’s things off the balcony, first the television, the air-conditioner and clothes, then her dog, Ribsy, the police and witnesses said.
The dog had lived in the neighborhood for more than a decade and was well liked by children. “He was like a person and he would hang out with us guys or go visit kids at the basketball court,” said neighbors.
小題1:The man was taken to hospital because _____.
A．he killed a pet dog

試題分析：本文敘述了John Jefferson和他的女朋友有爭執(zhí)時，把她家的電視、空調(diào)和狗都從陽臺上扔到了23層的樓下，結(jié)果他的女朋友的狗死了，John Jefferson被指控有搶劫，私藏槍支和對動物殘忍等罪名，他現(xiàn)已被送往醫(yī)院進行精神病鑒定。
小題1:這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)He was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center yesterday for psychiatric evaluation（精神病鑒定）故選D。
小題2:這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The man, John Jefferson, 43, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, has been charged（指控） with robbery, criminal possession of a weapon and animal cruelty,故選A。
小題3:這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The dog had lived in the neighborhood for more than a decade and was well liked by children. “He was like a person and he would hang out with us guys or go visit kids at the basketball court,可知這只狗在這個小區(qū)很受歡迎，故選B。
點評：細節(jié)題為閱讀考題的重頭戲，所占比例很高，相對而言較簡單，因為這類題雖然要求理解準確，但基本上限于字面意義的理解，范圍也限于局部，因此是我們可望得高分的部分。細節(jié)題絕大部分體現(xiàn)“中心思想是解”這一原理。本文都是細節(jié)理解題，在文中比較容易找到答案。

A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadget——under the name of Bowlingual——in U. S. pet stores and gift shops this summer.
Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.
"We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product, " the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.
Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制臺) that is connected to a database (數(shù)據(jù)庫). The console divides each bark into six emotional types——happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire——and shows common phrases, such as "You're ticking me off," that fit the dog's emotional state.
Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation（合作）with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.
One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. "They are too unpredictable (反復無常) , " the marketing manager said.
小題1:This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual ___________.
A．was invented in Japan 　　　　B．has developed quickly
C．will be sold in AmericaD．sells well for its price
小題2:The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ___________.
A．marketsB．productsC．plansD．cats
小題3:From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is ___________ the sale of its new product.
A．proud ofB．satisfied withC．confident ofD．worried about

Ron Meyer is the president and COO（首席運營官） of Universal Studios．As one of the most successful business leaders in Hollywood, he heads up Universal Pictures and Universal Parks & Resorts．He's the guy who oversees the production of Multimillion-dollar extravaganzas（作品） like King Kong and Cinderella Man．
Meyer’s story sounds like the plot of one of his motion pictures．He grew up in a modest home where there was little income．It was a big deal to go to a restaurant．At 15, he quit high school and spent his time hanging out with the neighborhood toughs（流氓）．He was then a kid quick with his fists who seemed to get into fights somewhat regularly．At one point, he was separated from others with an infectious disease, having no TV and nothing to do．His mother sent him two books．One was The Amboy Dukes, a novel about kids in street gangs．The other was The Flesh Peddlers, about a guy in the talent agency（星探公司）who lived a successful life．“I realized,” he says, “that I was no longer that silly kid I had been, and I wanted to change my life．”
Meyer took any job he could get．He worked as a busboy and short-order cook．He cleaned offices and sold shoes．That attitude made an impression on people．One day he received a call from Paul Kohner, a successful agent who represented stars like John Huston, Charles Bronson and Lana Turner．Their messenger and driver had quit, and they knew Ron was willing to take whatever job they offered. He started the job the next day．
Meyer was lucky to work with a good boss―and he had the brains to make the most of that experience．In nearly six years of driving for Kohner, Meyer became his right-hand man and learned a lot．By the 1970s, Meyer had built many relationships in the business．In 1975, the fate presented an opportunity and he started his own operation Creative Artists Agency, which became a huge success, representing Hollywood legends like Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise．
Twenty years later, Meyer was appointed to run Universal Studios, a position far beyond his youthful dream．But once he saw success was possible, he was driven to achieve it．Today, colleagues regularly owe his success―and theirs―to his humility and perseverance．It’s a level of success that takes determination, personality and intelligence, whether it comes from a college education or from the street．
小題1:What is the main idea of the passage? 
A．How a bitter childhood contributes to one’s success．
B．It’s important to choose a right career to achieve one’s life goal．
C．A talent agency helps a person to become famous．
D．It’s people’s determination, intelligence and personality that decide their success．
小題2:What does the author mean by saying “he had the brains to make the most of that experience”?
A．He benefited a good deal from the experience．
B．He smartly took the opportunity to learn from the experience．
C．That experience made him ever smarter than ever before．
D．He used his brains to impress his boss．
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．A talent agency is to oversee the production of movies．
B．Ron Meyer did far more successfully than Raul Kohner．
C．Relationship is the most important thing in the film industry．
D．Meyer had never thought of being as successful as today．

Microsoft founder  Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his fortune(財富)，largely to the cause of global health，during the course of his lifetime.With an estimated(估計)worth of more than $40 billion，according to Forbes，the project will be no small fate(功績) for Gates.Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $24 billion to address global health issues，Gates said that finally his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids”.
So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest？Gates believes that “the equality of opportunity（機會）”in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world. Improving the health of the populations，he says，has proven to be an essential method in helping poor countries to be financially successful.“National borders allow inequalities，”said Gates.“We all need  to take a more global view，rather than just saying my country is doing well.We have to step up these health issues，knowing how few resources are going into them.”
Gates said that both his parents set up an example for him as a child.His father，William H．Gates，was the head of the local Planned Parenthood，and his mother，Mary，volunteered for the United Way.As he gathered his fortune，Gates knew he would finally want to give back as well，but he didn’t expect to devote himself whole?heartedly to one project until he was about 60.
However，Gates,47，began to question his ability to wait that long.“It seemed there was a real time urgency，”Gates said.“I started to think how many lives I could save before then.”
小題1:Bill Gates will give away his vast fortune to　　　　.
A．improve the health of population all over the world
B．improve the health of population in America alone
C．a(chǎn)void leaving his children too much money
D．spare the American government the burden of health care
小題2:Bill Gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is　　　　.
A．to set up more foundations for them
B．to help them with natural resources
C．to put more efforts into the health issues in them
D．to help them take a more global view
小題3:It can be learned from the passage that Bill Gates thinks　　　　.
A．Americans can be world?famous by giving away vast fortune
B．Americans should treat fellow citizens well
C．Americans should devote themselves to certain projects
D．Americans should care about people in other countries
