三、阅读理解
A
Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthday celebrate the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That is a different story.
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.
Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumer.
36. Growing up is a wonderful thing because ____________.
A. people can celebrate their birthday
B. people can receive many presents
C. people can become more mature and wiser
D. people will feel younger at heart
37. We can infer from the second paragraph that __________.
A. different countries have different opinions on the old age
B. American older people often joke about their old age
C. American culture is very young
D. young people lack experience and wisdom
38. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The golden years can make the old earn lots of money.
B. American social security benefits are not good.
C. The old in America are leading a hard life.
D. The old in America have to retire at the age of 65.
39. What does the underlined word “in” in the last paragraph mean?
A. serious B. disappearing slowly C. cool D. growing fast
40. According to the text, which of the following is correct?
A. The young are often discriminated in America.
B. The young are more respected than the old in America.
C. Growing old makes people feel proud in America.
D. The old are more respected than the young in America.
B
Every pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here.
But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals, the responses were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.
Clearly, from readers’ response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people’s widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure.
Most of the respondents who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope a clone could never truly recreate a pet, many simply didn’t wish to go against the natural law of life and death.
Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More than a few respondents owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend”, “a member of the family,” “the light of my life.” They told moving stories of pets’ heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.
Little wonders the loss is so disturbing—and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away…It’s understandable. Death is always painful. It’s difficult to deal with. It’s hard to accept.”
But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this problem.
41. So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, __________.
A. a lot more of them are for it
B. a lot more of them are against it
C. very few of them are willing to tell their opinions
D. about half of them are for it and the other half against it
42. While talking about the respondents from the readers, the expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet” refers to _________.
A. the death of one’s pet
B. the high cost of owning a pet
C. the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a pet
D. the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet
43. In spite of their differences on the problem of cloning, it seems that ________.
A. all pet owners try to go against the natural law of life and death
B. all pet owners love their pets very much
C. people who support cloning love their pets more
D. people who dislike cloning love their pets more
44. From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he _________.
A. has never thought about the problem of cloning[来源:学科网ZXXK]
B. is going to write another book on pets
C. is in favor of the idea of cloning pets
D. is all against the cloning of pets
45. What is the key question at the heart of the problem of cloning pets?
A. Can pet owners afford the cost of cloning?
B. Can cloning make the pain one suffers less when a pet dies?
C. Does cloning go against the law of nature?
D. How reliably does cloning produce an exact copy of one’s pet?
答案:1. D点拨:句意:当问及他为何去那里时,他说他被派往那里做太空飞行训练。根据句意可知he与train之间为被动关系,所以排除A,C两项;而设空处在句中应作目的状语,所以要用不定式,排除B项。
2. A点拨:句意:为了保证用气安全,政府已彻底检查了供气系统。根据上下文和语义可判断本题是考查非谓语动词作状语的用法。不定式作目的状语,排除B,C两项,又根据句意可知这一动作不是发生在过去,故不能用不定式的完成时表动作已发生,应排除D项,故选择A项。
3. A点拨:用only+动词不定式来作状语,常表出乎意料的结果。现在分词也能作状语,但表自然而然的、在意料之中的结果。如:The storm left, causing much damage. / I went to see him, only to find him out.
4. A点拨:but是介词,后接动词不定式。当谓语部分出现do的任何形式时,后接不带to的不定式;是其他动词时,后接带to的不定式。谓语是could do nothing,要填admit。
5. D点拨:根据句意,应选择不定式作目的状语 ,排除A,C项,又因herself与hear是被动关系,故选D。
6. D点拨:句意:既然我没有办法说服你留下来,我只好祝你幸运。to persuade作目的状语。
7. C点拨:句意:人们看到刘翔就欢呼起来,据报道他打破了110米栏世界记录。根据句意,report后接不定式,A, B排除,打破记录是发生过的事情,所以用不定式的完成时来表达。故选C。
8. B点拨:动词不定式to choose from作定语。所提供的情况“but I’m at a loss which to buy”表明有五双可供选择而不是选择五双,要在to choose 后加from,句意:有五双可供选择,我拿不定主意买哪一双。
9. C点拨:referred to(被提到的)是过去分词短语作定语,修饰the thief。此外,suggest后跟宾语从句时,从句用should+动词原形表虚拟语气。
10. D点拨:句意:他的专题片开头和结尾引用了两个新闻报道,各自阐述了一个与对方矛盾对立的观点。考查独立主格结构。相当于and each makes one major point in…一个句子所使用的标点符号,有无连词,对动词形式的选择往往起着决定性作用。
11. C点拨:pay attention to中to 是介词,应当接名称类的词或短语,A,B不予考虑;prevent…from…中from也是介词,后接动名词。
12. D点拨:此题考查主谓一致和不定式。当A rather than B结构做主语时,谓语动词应以A为主。此外,在sb. is to blame结构中,不定式应用主动语态,故选D。
13. B点拨:考查非谓语动词。不要误入feel like doing的误区。本题中的feel like what to win,是不定式表目的。
14. A点拨:本题考查不定式。易误认为prefer…to…,to 作介词的结构。但此句意为:他们宁愿在乡下要一所房子来安度晚年。不定式作目的状语,故选A。
15. B点拨:句意:这是世界上第一个生产随身听和盒式录音带的公司。在表顺序的词first, last等后,用不定式作定语。
