| 阅读理解 | Despite the fact that it has never been seen almost everyone is familiar with the legendary unicorn(独
角兽). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher
Aristotle theorized(推理) that there were two types of unicorns-the socalled Indian Ass and the Oryx,
a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as
their special sign. Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn.
According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has
a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorntrappers, in order to catch this
magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then
to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when
its horn was stuck in the tree.
When hollowed out and used as a drinkingcup, the unicorn"s horn was said to have the power to
offer protection against person. It was believed that nobody could be harmed by drinking the contents
of a unicorn"s horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court was said to have
used cups made of "unicorn" horn in order to protect the king. In addition, the horn was said to have
medicinal value, so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight
of gold. What, then, was "unicorn" horn? We know at times the rhino(犀牛) was confused with this
legendary creature. A drinkingcup supposedly made of "unicorn" horn was discovered to be made of the
horn of a rhino.
1. Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn?
A. It was not historically recorded.
B. Its horn was first used in France.
C. It was similar to the Indian Ass and the Oryx.
D. It could be the symbol of a university.
2. To catch a unicorn, the unicorntrappers had to try all of the following EXCEPT________.
A. tempting the unicorn to attack
B. making use of the tree as a protection
C. hiding quickly behind the unicorn
D. having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree
3. The last paragraph is mainly about________.
A. the value of the unicorn horn
B. the users of the unicorn horn
C. the price of the unicorn horn
D. the comparison between the unicorn horn and the rhino horn
4. In the last paragraph, the word "unicorn" is in quotation marks(引号) because________.
A. the cup is designed only for a royal family
B. the unicorn does not exist in reality
C. the unicorn is the rarest animal in the world
D. the medicinal value of the horn is appreciated | | 完形填空。 | Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to
understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I 1 teaching
it to you. If, when I speak to you, I 2 the same things thousand and one times, do not 3 me,
listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 4
you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a 5 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember
when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I 6 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you
see my 7 little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your
mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you 8 to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life.
When at some moment I lose the memory or the 9 of our conversation, let me have the necessary
time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our
conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 10 to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well 11 I need to and when not. When my
12 legs do not allow me to walk, give me your 13 , the same way I did when you gave your first
14 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 15 any more - that I want to rest
forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, 16 my
mistakes, I always wanted the 17 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must
not feel sad, angry or impotent (无可奈何) for seeing me 18 you. You must be next to me, try to
understand me and to help me as I did it when you 19 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my
way with love and 20 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, son.

It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth. There"s no doubt that
dairy products (乳制品), and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products
are supplemented with Vitamin D and A.
While it"s well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake
doesn"t necessarily lower a person"s risk for fractures (骨折). A Harvard study found that people who
drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank
a glass or less a week.
There"s no doubt that we need calcium. Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart
disease. Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which
may indeed contribute to cardiovascular problems. Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk
of prostate cancer; this seems to be caused by high-fat dairy products, not dairy in general.
Although milk was always regarded as one of the most important thing we need for our bones, yet
least promoted, factors involved in strengthening bones. Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a
nutrient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it. If not, find some others. Because some claims may not
be completely true, when I eat a cream, I"m not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing I"m
thinking delicious. | | 1. Which of the following is TRUE on the milk? | A. The more milk you drink, the more risk for fractures you might be.
B. The more milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be.
C. The less milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be.
D. There is no link between them. | | 2. Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to except _________. | A. cardiovascular problems
B. heart disease
C. prostate cancer
D. stomach cancer | | 3. The underlined words "some others" in the last paragraph refer to _________. | A. dairy products
B. milk
C. food
D. cream | | 4. What"s the author"s attitude towards milk? | A. He doesn"t like milk any more.
B. He used to drink milk as a child.
C. He regards milk as a nutrient.
D. He always cares about calcium, protein when he eats something. | | 5. We can learn from the text that _________. | A. All the claims are not completely true.
B. High milk intakes can lead to cancer.
C. It"s necessary for you to reduce milk intakes.
D. Give up milk for your health. | | 阅读理解 | Are you feeling blue? An American study suggests that being surrounded by happy friends and
neighbors could have more of an effect on your happiness than money. That is the finding of researchers
from Harvard University and the University of California at San Diego.
Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler studied the emotional health of more than four thousand seven
hundred people. They used information from the Framingham Heart Study. That study began sixty years
ago in the American community of Framingham, Massachusetts. It was started to learn more about the
risks of heart attack and stroke. For the new study, the researchers examined the emotions of the men
and women in the Framingham Heart Study. The information was gathered from 1983 to 2003.
The researchers found that friends of happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves.
That means that happiness spreads, or has a contagious effect, among people. And, the smaller the
physical distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each other"s happiness. For example,
a person was twenty percent more likely to feel happy if his/her friend living within one and a half
kilometers was also happy. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased an individual"s
chance of being happy by thirtyfour percent.The effects of friends" happiness lasted for up to a year.
Another finding was that people who worked together or were married did not have as much of an
effect on happiness levels as friends did. The researchers said this was often true among friends of the
same sex. A report on the findings was published this month in the British Medical Journal.America"s
National Institute on Aging helped to pay for the study. Some researchers who were not involved with
the study questioned its findings. They said the results could be disputed(争议) unless a separate study
showed similar findings. | | 1. What does this text mainly tell us? | A. How to live a happy life?
B. One"s happiness influences others.
C. How to keep emotions healthy?
D. A scientific experiment. | | 2. From this text we know that ________. | A. Nicholas and James based their findings on the study of a medical research
B. Nicholas and James have been doing their research for more than twenty years
C. a person with a happy friend has more chance of feeling blue
D. a happy person is more likely to suffer from heart attack | | 3. The underlined word "contagious" in the third paragraph means ________. | A. contacting
B. embarrassing
C. spreading
D. frightening | 4. According to this text, which of the following four persons may have a larger effect on Mrs. Smith"s
happiness? | A. Mr. Green, Smith"s former classmate.
B. Mr. Thomas, Smith"s colleague.
C. A friend in another city.
D. A happy single lady next door. | Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it , and to go into their offices or schools
every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and
reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London
without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country
with a garden of one"s own. Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town.
Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at
night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country.
If one likes gardens, one can spend one"s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred
and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one
has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with
its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dancehalls and restaurants. Such people
would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in
one of the parks and a fortnight"s (two weeks") visit to the sea every summer is all the country they
want: the_rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every
night. | | 1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? | A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.
B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.
C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer
to live inside London.
D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer
to live outside London. | | 2. One can use the same money for ________ to buy a little house with a garden in the country. | A. getting a small flat with a garden
B. having a small flat with a garden
C. renting a small flat without a garden
D. buying a small flat without a garden | 3. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those ________ have the reward of one
who has shared the secret of Nature. | A. who live in the country
B. who have spent time working in the garden
C. who have a garden of their own
D. who have been digging, planting and watering | 4. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that________if they had to live it outside
London. | A. their life was meaningless
B. their life was invaluable
C. they didn"t deserve a happy life
D. they were not worthy of their happy life | 最新试题
