8.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從下框的A-F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項. 選項中有一項為多余選項.
A.Adults keep pets with their children.
B.Pet-keeping has a very long history.
C.Pet-keeping may do harm to animals.
D.People keeps pets for their aesthetic need.
E.Caged pets become increasingly popular.
F.Pet-keeping is helpful for children's growth.
61.BPet-keeping is a time-honored tradition.One of the reasons for people to raise dogs or cows was usefulness.While people in the past hunted animals and kept them in their backyards,the civilsed man today is less cruel towards them and is less exploitative(利用的).
62.DWe keep animals as pets because they are attractive.We all have the urge to possess something that has aesthetic(審美的)value,and this is why we treasure paintings or fine furniture.Keeping pets is one form of this urge.A Siamese cat in the house can be a decorative object.Pets are playful animals and they amuse us.A little rabbit amuses us by its playful and lively runs.
63.FMany parents find it helpful to have pets in the house for their children.Having pets is an excellent way of developing in children the love of animals and responsibility.Children get the opportunity to take on full responsibility for another creature's life.It will be an educational experience for a child to watch the natural life cycle of an animal.There are psychological benefits for children.Pets are welcome friends for children who are lonely.Pets are excellent companions.Keeping pets means giving love and being loved.We find comfort in giving care and receiving care in return.We get pleasure from their appearance and their behavior.
64.EAs more people move into apartments,there are limitations on keeping of animals like dogs and monkeys.Therefore,caged animals have increased in popularity.Birds fall into this group.We keep them for their beautiful songs and feathers.Fish-keeping is a widespread hobby and the keeper can observe their behavior in the glass tank and study its entire life cycle.The cat is a fine house pet and it fits neatly into human habitation(居住地) without requiring its own cage.They are wonderful hunters,if there are rats around.
65.CPets satisfy man's desire to care for a bit of nature.The pet owner has the responsibility for supplying those needs that nature provides.Pets are amusing and entertaining,but we are in a way doing animals harm by making them live in a human environment.Are we not enslaving(奴役)them?

分析 本文講述了圈養(yǎng)牲畜的歷史--由一開始利用它們(狗和奶牛),把它們?nèi)︷B(yǎng)在院子里,到現(xiàn)在把它們當(dāng)作寵物的歷史.

解答 BDFEC
61.B 此段話主要講述傳統(tǒng)的圈養(yǎng)牲畜的目的,從很久以前打獵動物并把它們?nèi)︷B(yǎng)到后院到現(xiàn)在對待它們的方式(越來越柔和,且不考慮它們的實用性),表達了飼養(yǎng)動物有很長的歷史,Pet-keeping is a time-honored tradition.(飼養(yǎng)動物是歷史悠久的傳統(tǒng).)和B選項相符合,故答案為B;
62.D 此段話的中心思想可以由第一句話看出來We keep animals as pets because they are attractive.(養(yǎng)寵物是因為它們外表很有吸引力),可見是符合人的審美需求,后面的內(nèi)容是對這句話的闡述,故答案為D;
63.F 此段話的表達中心可由第一句話概括Many parents find it helpful to have pets in the house for their children.故答案為F;
64.E 第四段話的內(nèi)容是講越來越多的人搬入了公寓,他們不能養(yǎng)像猴子和狗一樣的動物,因此,把動物放進籠子里圈養(yǎng)就流行起來.比如鳥類,魚.因此第四段話的中心和E選項相符合,故選E;
65.C 第五段話是對人們現(xiàn)在飼養(yǎng)寵物的反思--寵物滿足了人們保護自然的一點需求,但是把動物變?yōu)閷櫸,我們是否是在奴役它們?(意?可能對寵物來說是一種傷害).其內(nèi)容與C選項相符,故選C.

3.A study of more than five million books,both fiction and non-fiction,has found a marked decline in the use of emotional words over time.The researchers form the University of Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer,a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books,to search for more than 600particular words identified as representing anger,dislike,fear,joy,sadness and surprise.
They found that almost all of the categories (類別) showed a drop in these"mood words"over time.Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage.
"It is a steady and continuous decrease,"said Dr Alberto Acerbi.He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature,in a crowded media landscape."One thing could be that in parallel to books the 20th century saw the start of other media.Maybe these media-movies,radio,drama-had more emotional content than books."
Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend,the research,published in the journal PLOS One,found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour:the ratio (比率) between the two varied greatly,apparently mirroring historical events.
During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash.But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second World War.Nevertheless,the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends.In the paper,they even argue that the reverse could be true.
"It has been suggested,for example,that it was the suppression (壓抑) of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing‘filled with romance and sex'…perhaps,"they conclude,"songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body."
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81.A study of more than five million books indicated a decline in"mood words"over time exceptin the category of fear.
82.According to Dr Alberto Acerbi,one reason for the drop of"mood words"in books may be thatthe literary position has changed in a crowded media landscape/other media-movies,radio,drama-
had more emotional content.
83.What were the two periods when the joy-to-sadness ratio was at its highest?During the roaring Twenties and before the recent financial crash.
84.While the researchers found some changes in the use of"mood words"in books,they were
not sure thattheir research result reflected wider social trends/songs and books reflected the real population.

20.Given that many people's moods (情緒)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate,it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie &the Chocolate Factory,Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100varieties of chocolates.its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents'comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
  If the CRF seems to be a smart idea,that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.
  The CRF's produce is"green".made within the country and divided into 10 lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper,red bean (豆).cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo,Cuba,Venezuela,and Ghana,among others.

44.What is good about chocolate?C.
A.It serves as a suitable gift.
B.It works as an effective medicine.

17.People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars.And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months,anyway.Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months.I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting,and some acted just simply rudely.I started hating the way I was treated,and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜)before were pretty ordinary.So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘).If the star was a bad guy,I would say so.If I thought anyone was stupid,I did not hold back that information.
I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty.Surprisingly,many of them hated me for it.I have gotten so many attacks on my character.In their eyes,being famous is everything,even more desirable than being truly creative and talented
Why do we need stars?In fact,the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (閑話).Over time,talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about.Thus,some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends.That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview-as we care.We want the dirt on their personal lives.
There is another reason we worship stars.As a whole,our society is not as religious as it once was.It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did.Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.
We make them stars,but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant,and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die.I am part of this whole process.No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.

39.What are the stars like according to the author?C
A.They always treat others rudely.
B.They always talk about something dull.
C They are acutually ordinary people.
D.They are usually honest and polite,
40.We worship stars becauseA.
A,we need true mental heroes to support us
B.we can learn something useful from famous stars
C.we concern about the stars,family and friends
D.we like talking about the stars,dressing styles
41.When the author is writing this article,his tone soundsD.
A.excited
B.a(chǎn)ngry
C.worried
D.calm
42.What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?B
A.To show the disadvantages of working with stars.
B.To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.
C.To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.
D.To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.
