In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love
these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to
animal hospitals to give them injections (注射) so that they won"t carry diseases. They have special animal
food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two
hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.
When you visit people"s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud
of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are
welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any
animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished.
If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as
close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel
lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone. |

The richest country
To reach the world"s richest country, you needn"t set out for the Middle East, but for the South Pacific, to a
tiny dot just south of the equator, called Nauru. Only 8.2 square miles in size, the whole of this country can be
seen from the air as the plane comes into land. The blue South Pacific reaches for thousands of miles in all
directions, the nearest piece of land being Ocean Island 200 miles to the east.
Nauro is so small that the plane lands in what is best regarded as the capital"s main street. The seaward
side of the runway has traffic lights at each end to stop cars when planes are landing. The tiny bus station
outside the airport is crowded with well-fed and brightly clothed Naurans with their modern cars.
With Naurans now getting an average(平均) of $44,500 a year, the island"s 60,000 people seem to have little
to worry about. A trip to the island"s central hump(隆峰) tells a slightly different story.
The hump with a great deal of phosphate (磷酸盐) round is Nauru"s wealth. When Nauru gained freedom
from the British government in 1908, about 40 million tons of the earliest 100 million tons of phosphate were
left. Since it has taken out another 10 million tons, which leaves enough only for another 20-25 years. |
| 1. The best title of the text should be______. |
A. Wealth and population of Nauru
B. The most beautiful country in the world
C. A small island surrounded by the Pacific
D. A small but rich island country |
| 2. It can be inferred from the text that______. |
A. Nauru has not built a runway in the airport yet
B. Nauru is not large enough to build the runway of the plane the
C. Naurans are not rich enough to build a runway of the plane
D. no cars run on the main street |
| 3. From the last sentence of the text we can learn that the writer wants to tell us______. |
A. why Naurans are so rich
B. something more about Nauru
C. something for Naurans to worry about
D. how the British robbed Nauru of their wealth |
| 4. How many tons of phosphate will probably be taken out in Nauru a year? |
A. 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 tons
B. 2,800,000 to 3,500,000 tons
C. 1,200,000 to 1,500,000 tons
D. 400,000 to 500,000 tons |

Tell the truth or just lie?
You"re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let"s assume you once actually
completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn"t it tempting to lie
just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra
couple of years back at State University?
More and more people are turning to final trick like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers,
for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a
good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a
well-known university. Registrars at most well known colleges say they deal with deceitful like these at the
rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is
lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them"impostors (骗子)"; Another refers to them as"special cases" one well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most
delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by"no such people."
To avoid total lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attended" or "were associated with" a college or
university. After carefully checking, a personal officer may discover that"attending" means being dismissed
after one semester. It may be that"being associated with" a college means that the job seeker visited his
younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claim says that the practice
dates back at least to the turn of the century-that"s when they began keeping records, anyhow.
If you don"t want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony (假的)
diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma
from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from
" Smoot State University." The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the"University of Purdue." As there
is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather
high for one sheet of paper. |
| 1.The main idea of this passage is that______. |
A. employers are checking more closely on applicants now
B. lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem
C. college degrees can now be purchased easily
D. employers are no longer interested in college degrees |
| 2. According to the passage,"special cases" refers to cases where______. |
A. students attend a school only part-time
B. students never attended a school they listed on their application
C. students buy false degrees from commercial firms
D. students attended a famous school |
| 3. We can infer from the passage that______. |
A. performance is a better judge of ability than a college degree
B. experience is the best teacher
C. past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do
D. a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition |
| 4. This passage implies that______. |
A. buying a false degree is not normal
B. personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools
C. most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school
D. society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications |

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or
older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American
society in many ways - education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very
different society - one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various
ages.
A person"s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There"s no
longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The
social clock that keeps us on time and tells us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn"t as strong
as it used to be. It doesn"t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say,"I am much younger than my mother-or my father-was at my age. "No one says Act your
age" any more. We"ve stopped looking with surprising at older people who act in youthful ways." |
| 1. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _________. |
A. has made people feel younger
B. has changed people"s social position
C. has changed people"s understanding of age
D. has slowed down the country"s social development |
| 2. The underlined word "one" refers to"________." |
A. a society
B. America
C. a place
D. population |
| 3. "Act your age" means people should _________. |
A. be active when they are old
B. do the right things at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old
D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age |
4. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text
would most probably consider it _______. |
A. normal
B. wonderful
C. unbelievable
D. unreasonable |
