24、   Why are dogs our best friends? Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we think, according to a study in Hungary. The study shows that dogs understand not only what we say, but also how we say it. “The results are very exciting and surprising,”says Attila Andics, the lead researcher from a University in Budapest.

For the study, the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months. The dogs had to sit quietly inside machines so that the researchers could check their brain activity. Then the researchers put headphones on dogs and played people's voices to them. There were four different voices. Some were positive words, such as“well done”. Some were negative words like “not good”. The words were also in different tones(音调). Some were positive, some were neutral(中立的), and some were negative.

Brain scans(扫描) showed the dogs could recognize words, as well as the tone of words, much like people do. The positive words with a positive tone brought the strongest activity in their brains' reward centers (反应中枢).“It shows that for dogs, a nice phrase can work very well as a reward, but it works best if both words and tones match,”said Andics.

They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right. People's brains work in the same way.

Andics said it gave us a new understanding of the language. That is to say, not only humans understand the meaning in words, but also other species(物种) do too.

【1】For the study, researchers did all of the following EXCEPT________.

A.they made dogs sit inside machines B.they played with the dogs

C.they scanned the dogs' brains. D.they played people's voices to them

【2】Which of the following kinds of voices do dogs think as a best reward?

A.A neutral word with a neutral tone. B.A neutral word with a positive tone.

C.A positive word with a neutral tone. D.A positive word with a positive tone.

【3】The third paragraph mainly tells us________.

A.the results of the study B.the process of the study

C.the reasons of the study D.the advantages of the study

【4】For both dogs and humans, which side of brain deals with tones?

A.Left side for both dogs and humans. B.Left side for dogs and right side for humans.

C.Right side for both dogs and humans. D.Right side for dogs and left side for humans.

【5】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Dogs are humans' best friends. B.Dogs are talented in learning humans' language.

C.Dogs can understand the meaning in words. D.Dogs can also learn humans' language.

25、   Lisa has been to Antarctica (南极洲). Here is a page from her.

Tuesday   December 2

We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We’d be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth, sometimes you can’t fly at all.

We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.

It turned clear at 9: 30 and we took off at 10: 30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly the whole day.

Wednesday   December 3

After waking up in the Antarctica for the first time today, I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.

We’re staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It’s about minus 2℃ today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!

Thursday  December 4

I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctica. I’m told it’s a bit colder today, about minus 5℃, but it’s not very windy so it  feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off the base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.

Saturday  December 6

Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).

The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I’d step outside in the morning and think, “I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there yesterday.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly thankfully.

【1】Lisa  sat outside wearing a jacket on     .

A.Tuesday B.Wednesday C.Thursday D.Saturday

【2】 could stop Lisa from leaving Stanley for Rothera.

A.Strong winds B.Thick clouds

C.Mountains of ice D.Low temperatures

【3】The underlined word “go off” most probably means     .

A.leave B.change C.guard D.watch

【4】Lisa felt     during her stay in the Antarctica.

A.afraid B.nervous C.amazed D.bored

【5】What left Lisa a deep impression about Rothera was that     .

A.people walked around in T-shirts B.there was a special training course

C.the weather was sometimes warm D.the scenery changed every day

【6】From the article we can know this is a page from Lisa’s     .

A.notebooks B.diaries C.homework D.books

26、任务型阅读

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容，完成表格。（每空填1至3个词）

China has decided to stop the use of free plastic bags. Supermarkets, shops and outlets(经销店) in China can’t offer plastic bags any more.

Every year, people use too many plastic bags. They throw them here and there after they have used them. The government has done its best to deal with them but failed. While we offer quick service（服务）to customers, the plastic bags pollute water, earth and air, and they waste the oil. The government asks people to go back to carry cloth bags and use baskets when they go to buy something. The cloth bags and the baskets can be used again and again.

Many months have passed. The environment has been improved a lot.

27、One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency．You know，you would be submerged(淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely．We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy．

The trip was not very long but it was still very pleasant．We look forward to going there again! Of course，we spent lots of time arranging the trip，but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa，but everything went quite smoothly in the end．

The most difficult part was getting a visa（签证）without an invitation．In the Italian consulate，one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa．Then we had to solve the ticket problem．Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance．The next step was to book a hotel．We finally booked a hotel about 30 km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip．

Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome．Our big house，which was surrounded by the forest，was a rare place for the fresh air and complete silence，beautiful views，hospitable hosts，comfortable living conditions delighting us to no end．Besides this，we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian．She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use．She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go．

Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself．It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves．We walked with a map and a guidebook to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times．So if you’re also planning a ‘single’ trip，don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue．

【1】Why does the author want to go to Italy again?

A. He had a great time there．

B．Italy has a lot of attractions．

C. His friend invited him there．

D．He didn’t stay in Italy long enough．

【2】What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?

A. Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling．

B. Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate．

C. Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome．

D. Solving the ticket problem far in advance．

【3】Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?

A. Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?

B. Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?

C. How did the author prepare for his trip?

D. What tools did the author use for his traveling?

28、阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的单词，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。

Patricia was born in Michigan and grew up in California. When she was a little girl, she often stayed with her grandparents who lived in Union City, Michigan. One summer day, a meteorite（流星）【1】（fall）from the sky, right into her grandparents' backyard! Before that, her grandparents had lived a 【2】 ['kwaɪəʊt] life on their farm. Now things were 【3】 from before. They had so much to do. People came to see the meteorite. The professors from the 【4】 [ju:nɪvɜːsɪtɪ] came to study it and analyze（分析）it.

Patricia loves to tell the story about her meteorite and even today, she carries a piece of the meteorite with her 【9】 [wear evə] she goes. When I met her, she let all of us touch it and make a 【10】. What might you wish for if you could meet Patricia and see her meteorite?
