【題目】I was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.

There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.

As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.

【1】The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to________.

A. passing the young man a cup of orange juice

B. buying lunch for the old man

C. exchanging meals with the old man

D. giving the juice to the old man

【2】Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?

A. Kind and considerate B. Generous and proud.

C. Rich and friendly. D. Humorous and helpful.

【3】 In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the servant to take the juice to the old man so that____________.

A. the old man could probably accept it

B. he would become famous for his good deed

C. more people would be inspired to do good deeds

D. he would become a friend of the servant

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】C

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了作者親眼目睹一位年輕人買了一杯果汁給吃老人，但是他請服務(wù)員送過去。希望這種行為能夠鼓勵他人也去幫助需要幫助的人。

【1】D 猜測詞義題。根據(jù)后面第二句The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench.可知這位年輕人要求服務(wù)員把果汁送給那個正在外面長凳上吃午飯的老人，而不是自己親自送過去�？芍猘sked for an orange juice as well as a favor.本句中的a favor就是指“服務(wù)員幫助他把果汁送給老人”，故D正確。

【2】A 推理題。根據(jù)本文第二段內(nèi)容可知這個年輕人很有愛心，買了果汁給老人喝。再根據(jù)文章第三段可知他沒有親自送果汁過去，就是下午別人也受到這種善良的行為的影響也去幫助那些有需要幫助的人，這說明他很體貼，考慮問題很周到。文章中并沒有提到他很驕傲，富有以及幽默。故A正確。

【3】C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段第二句I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well.可知作者認為年輕人沒有親自送果汁過去是由于他希望更多的人受到影響以后也去幫助需要幫助的人。故C正確。

【題目】No one not even its creators-thought that the world would care about the interwoven(相互交織的)lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友記)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen lead actors famous.

Looking back the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.

It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The sitcom quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operate like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美國廣播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind---remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.

Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern day US sitcom that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short o a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.

【1】What is stressed in the second paragraph?

A. The origin of Friends

B. The role models of Friends

C. The popularity of Friends

D. The brilliance of Friends.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about Friends?

A. It has a simple but entertaining plot.

B. It is about friendship between college students.

C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly.

D. It first came into being in the 1990.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Producer, Kevin S. Bright, graduated from the same college as David Crane.

B. ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro

C. The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends.

D. Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success.

【4】What might the author think of Friends?

A. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings.

B. Its success lies in the lack of good sitcoms.

C. He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success.

D. He/she shows great affection towards it .

【題目】Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.

A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).

In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.

In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.

The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.

Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品種)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.

It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can’t talk back. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

【1】From paragraph 2 we know that __ .

A. animals are as clever as human beings

B. all dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees

C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills

D. all dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children

【2】Both experiments show that .

A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right

B. Rico can recognize different things including toys

C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics

D. Rico won’t forget the names of objects once recognizing them

【3】Which of the following statements is true?

A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie’s mental abilities.

B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.

C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.

D. Rico is born to understand its owner’s commands.

【4】What does the writer want to tell us?

A. To train your dog.

B. To talk to your dog.

C. To be friendly to your dog.

D. To be careful with your dog.

【題目】Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of the condition mental health experts call clinical depression(臨床抑郁癥). That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression.

Doctors use the word clinical depression to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.

In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters（倉鼠）to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night. The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light. After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.

Randy Nelson, at Ohio State University, says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep interruptions at all but they did mess up biological clock (生物鐘) genes and they did show depressive sign but if they were in the dim red light, they did not.” He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.

【1】From the text we know that ________ made the hamster feel depressed.

A. the amount of the water

B. the colour of the light

C. the loss of pleasure

D. the level of energy

【2】What was the purpose of the experiment on hamsters?

A. To show how well they slept.

B. To see how much sugary water they drank.

C. To explain why they liked dark colours.

D. To find out what caused the depression on them.

【3】The author explains the clinical depression by _________.

A. reporting an experiment process

B. presenting research data

C. setting down general rules

D. giving his own experience

【4】Where can we probably find the text?

A. In a science magazine.

B. In a physics textbook

C. In a tourist guidebook.

D. In an official announcement.
