阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Years ago I gave a speech called “Powerful Phrases for Positive People”. These are very 21 but powerful phrases that we all like to 22 : “I’m proud of you.” “I believe 23 you.” “I trust you.” “I love you.” “You can do it.”
24 Thanksgiving Day approaching, we all 25 be focused on another one of these powerful phrases, in 26 : “I thank you.” We can never 27 up that phrase. It should always be 28 the tip of our 29 if we are truly grateful to others who help us each day and to 30 who has richly blessed us with more abundance and freedom than any country in history.
Despite God’s abundant blessings, we’re often too 31 to give thanks and too quickly to complain. Maybe we’re so focused on ourselves and 32 with our lives that we forget to give thanks. Or maybe it’s because those of us in America have become complacent(自满的)with a level of luxury and leisure beyond the imagination of much of the world’s population.
We tend to 33 our blessings for granted, like the story about a house owner who 34 a real-estate(房地产) agent to prepare an ad to 35 his house. The house owner was 36 the ad in the paper about his house’s many 37 features. He called the real-estate agent to say he no longer wished to sell. When 38 what changed his mind, the house owner said, “After reading your ad, I 39 I already live in the house I 40 wanted to live in.”
In this season of Thanksgiving in particular, it’s time to count our blessings and pull out that simple phrase, “I thank you.”
21. A. rare B. simple C. important D. hard
22. A. hear B. see C. know D. feel
23. A. from B. on C. in D. to
24. A. With B. As C. When D. Before

第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Do dogs understand us?
Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
A border collie(牧羊狗)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 10 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(品种)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!
41. From paragraph 2 we know that ______.
A. animals are as clever as human beings
B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees
C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills
D. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children
42. 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
43. 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.
44. 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.
B
It can be said that tea is the most popular drink in the world, apart from just plain water. Even the word for “tea” in many languages around the world comes from different changes of the Chinese word “茶”.
Chinese tea can be classified into 5 kinds. Green tea is perhaps the most natural, with no fermentation (发酵) of the leaves. Longjing, Maofeng and Biluochun are the most famous varieties. Black tea, known in China as red tea, is fermented before being baked. This is the kind of tea most commonly drunk in the West. Wulong tea is a variety half way between green and black teas, being made after partial fermentation. It is a specialty (特产) from southeast China, particularly Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan. Compressed tea are teas that have been, of course, compressed and hardened into a certain shape. These are often called brick tea. We will learn a bit about this when we visit Inner Mongolia. Finally, we have flower tea. This kind of tea is made by adding flowers or other fragrances in with the tea. Jasmine (茉莉花) tea is perhaps the most famous.
Tea has been one of the daily necessities in China for thousands of years, and has spread to be enjoyed by people around the world.
The passage is mainly about______.
A. the history of Chinese tea
B. the making of Chinese tea
C. a general introduction of Chinese tea
D. the spread of Chinese tea
46. The difference between Biluochun and Wulong tea is that______.
A. Biluochun is fermented while Wulong tea is partly fermented
B. Biluochun is partly fermented while Wulong tea is fermented
C. Biluochun is partly fermented while Wulong tea is not fermented
D. Biluochun is not fermented while Wulong tea is partly fermented
47. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “fragrances”?
A. 香料 B. 调味料 C. 配料 D. 辅料
48. What can we conclude from the passage?
The word “tea” in many languages around the world means just the same.
Tea is spread from China to other parts of the world.
People in Taiwan only like to drink Wulong tea.
Longjing is the most famous red tea.
C
Suppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars, we provide the robot with detectors (探测器) to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receieving any sunshine. So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.
According to the evoloutionary (进化的) theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢复功能). It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; and it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if not at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.
The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Morever, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.
49. The author used the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ______.
A. the differences between robots and man
B. the reason why man needs to sleep
C. about the need for robots to save power
D. about the danger of man working at night
50. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ______.
A. keep up a regular pattern of life
B. prevent trouble that comes looking for him
C. avoid danger and inefficient labor
D. restore his bodily functions
51. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we are ______.
A. worrying about our safety
B. overworked C. in a tent
D. away from home
52. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.
B. The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.
C. Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.
D. The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.
D
Dombey and Son, published in 1848, was one of Dickens’ most powerful novels that directly attacked the vices (罪恶) of the capitalists.
The story opens with the birth of a son to Mr. Dombey, the wealthy head of the shipping house of Dombey and Son, and the death of Mrs. Dombey who fails to survive the childbirth. Dombey loves his little son Paul very much because the boy can succeed in the family business, while his daughter Florence cannot. Paul is sent to Dr. Blimer’s school where he is given a strict education, and being a child of poor health, he falls in ill and dies at last.
Dombey then has a second marriage which turns out to be a bargain (交易) for both sides concerned. Edith Granger,the second wife,is beautiful but poor and proud. Dombey gives her social position and wealth and expects her to give him a son in return. Edith shows great love for Florence but Dombey interrupts and separates the two, and then Edith runs away to France with Carker, Dombey’s manager.
This is followed by business failures for Dombey, but the novel winds up in a “happy” ending when Dombey, having lost his wealth, his son and his wife and living in solitude (孤独), is comforted by the return of his daughter Florence who is now married to an employee of his firm, Walter Gay.
Why does Mr. Dombey marry Edith Granger?
A. She is beautiful and wealthy.
B. She can succeed in the family business.
C. His daughter asks him to do so.
He expects her to give him a son.
The passage suggests that Mr. Dombey is a ____person.

What causes Mrs. Dombey’s death?
A. The birth of her son. B. The illness during the childbirth.
C. Her poor health. D. Her son’s poor health.
The failure of Mr. Dombey’s business results from____.
his second wife’s running away

When travelling abroad, one must remember Dorothy’s famous words that you’re not in Kansas anymore. There are many dangers that one can face in a new and different environment and the best way to protect yourself is to be well aware of possible dangers before you depart. Here are a few tips to ensure a safe and pleasant trip.
● Read up on what The State Department has to say. The State Department does an excellent job of watching out for our safety and protecting us in our travels by providing Travel Warnings (http://travel.state.gov/travel_wamings.html) (advising Americans to avoid certain countries), Public Announcements (postings of significant risks to the security of American travelers) and Consular(领事的)Information Sheets for every country in the world. Be sure to check in when planning your trip, and before you leave.
●Remember that you are a guest in a different country. Do your best to mix in with the locals by taking note of their talk and behavior. Buy or borrow a book from the library that teaches you about the local customs and beliefs.
●Try to stay in areas where there are lots of people and avoid wandering around new places where there is the possibility of getting lost.
●Feel free to make friends with locals, but remember that they are still strangers and you do not know them. Be cautious of information that you share —especially about where you are staying.
●Make a copy of your passport and inform the US Embassy(大使馆) in the country you will be visiting before you leave. Should you come into any danger, the US Embassy is there to help and protect you. Having proper proof of identity will help ensure a safe and speedy return home.
●Map out a sight-seeing roam (漫步;漫游;流浪) before you leave the hotel. This will minimize(减少)your chances of getting lost. It is also a good idea to ask for a contact (联系) card at your hotel so that you can return or contact them in case you do get lost.
●Learn enough of the language to communicate. Not only will you be glad you did when it comes time to request help, but locals will respond warmly to you when they see that you are trying to speak their language.
57. What do Dorothy’s words mean?
A. Don’t miss your home when you are out travelling.
B. It is better never travel outside Kansas.
C. It is safer travelling in Kansas.
D. When you travel out, you might come into some unsafe situations.

A. read up on what The State Department has to say
B. go to http://travel.state.gov/travel_warnings.html for information
C. read Public Announcements and Consular Information Sheets for Egypt

59. When you are travelling in a foreign country, you can _____ a stranger.
A. show your passport to
B. talk about the weather and people in the local place with
