【題目】Many blind people use guide dogs to help them get safely from place to place and to warn them of danger. But what can blind people do if they are allergic(過(guò)敏的) to dogs or just don’t like them? For these people, they can turn to the Guide Horse Foundation.

Janet and Don Burleson founded(成立) the organization in 1999. They began training miniature horses to help guide blind people. Miniature horses look just like common horses, only much smaller. They are generally less than 34 inches tall.

Cuddles was the foundation’s first guide horse in full service. She became 45-year-old Dan Shaw’s helper. Shaw has an eye disease and his sight is very poor. One night, while filling out a form to get a guide dog, Shaw heard a news story on TV about people training horses to guide the blind. Shaw loves horses and wanted a guide animal that would live a long time. So he applied(申請(qǐng))，and a year later, Cuddles and Shaw began training as a team.

On a trip to New York, Cuddles helped Shaw safely visit many places of interest .They even traveled on a boat and on the subway system.

Shaw says that he is very lucky to have Cuddles. He believes that Cuddles has changed his life for the better by giving him the chance to do things himself and making him feel much more confident about himself.

試題分析：文章主要講述了一種新型的導(dǎo)盲動(dòng)物——導(dǎo)盲馬。這主要針對(duì)不喜歡狗或是對(duì)狗過(guò)敏的人群。文章還舉了Cuddles和她的主人Shaw的案例來(lái)證明導(dǎo)盲馬能和導(dǎo)盲犬工作得一樣好。

【1】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段They began training miniature horses to help guide blind people.可知，The Guide Horse Foundation訓(xùn)練馬給盲人帶路，故選C。

【2】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段的Miniature horses look just like regular horses, only much smaller，可知，這種馬比其他的馬小，其他項(xiàng)都不正確，故選B。

【3】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段對(duì)于Shaw的描述：Shaw loves horses and wanted a guide animal…可知，他喜歡馬，故選B。

【題目】It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future.

But the dream didn’t last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(殺蟲(chóng)劑) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

【1】Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A. The frogs made too much noise.

B. They need money to buy medicine.

C. They wanted to please the visitors.

D. The frogs were easy money.

【2】What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

A. The crops didn’t do well.

B. There were too many insects.

C. The visitors brought in diseases.

D. The pesticides were overused.

【3】What can we infer(推斷) from the last sentence of the text?

A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B. Health is more important than money.

C. The harmony between humans and nature is important.

D. Good old days will never be forgotten.

【題目】Swimming in the water of Hawaii’s Big Island is a fun experience. But it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people, it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However, this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互動(dòng)).

Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day, they like to rest in shallow bays(淺灣). Many people think the dolphins are awake during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe, so they may be sleeping even when they’re swimming in the water.

From 2010 to 2013, spinner dolphins (飛旋海豚) of Hawaii’s Big Island were exposed to human activities more than 82 percent of the time, according to Julian Tyne, a researcher at Australia’s Murdoch University.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less favorable places, putting them at risk of attack by sharks and other animals.

Besides, when people are around, dolphins become more active. Thus, they can’t get enough sleep. “Disturbing their resting behaviors can actually affect their long term health and the health of the dolphin population,” Ann Garrett of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service told the Associated Press.

As a result, the NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example, the agency (機(jī)構(gòu)) may ban swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins. Or they may stop people from swimming in shallow bays when the dolphins are resting. Tour operators must also be taught to watch for signs to know when the dolphins are in their resting state.

【1】Which of the following about dolphins is NOT true?

A. They spend most of their time sleeping at night.

B. They like to stay in shallow bays during the day.

C. They keep half of their brain awake while sleeping.

D. They may be sleeping even when they’re swimming.

【2】When dolphins are disturbed in their near-shore habitat, they _____.

A. would swim to a crowded place

B. could move closer to sharks

C. could become less active

D. could likely sleep longer

【3】Which activity is against the rules?

A. Swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins.

B. Swimming in bays where the dolphins live.

C. Making signs that show the dolphins’ resting state.

D. Making signs that show where the dolphins are.

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A. What habits dolphins have.

B. What spinner dolphins are.

C. How the animals live in the sea.

D. How to protect dolphins near the shore.

【題目】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)。

People who averaged fewer than seven hours of sleep per night in the weeks before being exposed to the cold virus were nearly three times as likely to get sick as those who averaged eight hours or more, a new study found．

Researchers used frequent telephone interviews to track the sleep habits of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the last few weeks．Then they exposed the subjects to the virus, quarantined（檢疫隔離）them for five days and kept track of who got sick．

Besides sleeping more, sleeping better also seemed to help the body fight illness: Patients who fared better on a measure known as “sleep efficiency”—the percentage of time in bed that you’re actually sleeping—were also less likely to get sick．

The results held true even after researchers adjusted for elements such as body-mass index, age, sex, smoking and pre-existing antibodies（抗體）to the virus．

The researchers aren’t exactly sure why sleeping better makes you less likely to develop a cold．But they do try to give an answer: “Sleep disturbance influences the regulation of symptom mediators（調(diào)節(jié)因子）that are released in response to infection．” In plain English, maybe tossing and turning when you’re infected with the cold virus contributes to the symptoms that define a cold．

The researchers were based at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia, and the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health．

【1】According to the passage, what does the underlined word “subjects” mean in paragraph 2?

A．a(chǎn)reas of knowledge in a school

B．people being studied in an experiment

C．research topics

D．a(chǎn)nimals being tested

【2】It is shown in the passage that _______．

A．the researchers obtain information about the sleep habits by frequent interviews

B．the researchers do their research in the National Institutes of Health

C．people hope to avoid being infected with a cold by sleeping as much as possible

D．sleeping more and better helps regulate the symptom mediators

【3】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．The Relationship Between Virus and Cold

B．How to Sleep Well

C．Good Sleep Helps Fight a Cold

D．The More the Sleep, the Better Your Body
