【題目】 I am the proud owner of three pet dogs. Over the years, I have watched their behaviours carefully that help me when I travel around the world.

One important lesson that my dog, Cody, taught me is how to deal with little problems in life. From his calm behavior when someone knocked unexpectedly at the door to the indifferent way he has dealt with his recent serious illness, he has always had the same easy-going attitude. This attitude is an important lesson to me in how I can face difficult situations when travelling, I've learned to try to handle bad situations calmly, such as when we miss a train, lose luggage, and so on.

Another dog of mine, Preston, loves to walk around the yard, spending hours smelling every place and finding out what it means to him. Taking it slowly is another lesson that’s been very hard for me to learn. As an active traveller, I am actually experiencing less by speeding through everything, rather than slowly getting to know a place. Even if it means that you won’t see as many things, going slowly when you travel is the only way to really get to know a new place. Rushing around a foreign city isn’t fun at all.

My dog, Moya, came from a truly bad situation. I am not sure what happened to her before; I just know it wasn’t good. Although she has become more relaxed over the years, she is still slightly on edge. She is very cautious when faced with any new situation. But once she’s accustomed to her new surroundings, she is fine. She doesn’t let fear influence her experience. The same can be applied to our travel experience. No matter where we go, we need to manage new situations with caution——while at the same time not letting that caution turn into fear.

Many thanks to my pets. Truly speaking, pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pies. To Americans, pets are not just property, but a part of the family. After all, pets are people, too, with the help of whom I am able to gain a lot and live differently.

【1】One of the three dogs, Cody, .

A.once suffered from a serious illnessB.is excited when under pressure

C.enjoys walking around the yardD.is unable to deal with new situations

【2】From Preston, the author learned that one should .

A.pay attention to the details in lifeB.see as many things as possible when travelling

C.stay indifferent to strangersD.travel around slowly and have fun

【3】The underlined phrase “on edge” in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.

A.hungryB.nervousC.calmD.happy

【4】Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

A.B.C.D.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

本文為記敘文。文章敘述了作者從自己的三只寵物狗身上學到的經(jīng)驗教訓：冷靜處理不好的事情；旅行時放慢速度，盡量多看一些東西；無論我們到哪旅行，要謹慎地處理新情況——但也不要讓這種謹慎變成恐懼。

【1】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“From his calm behavior when someone knocked unexpectedly at the door to the indifferent way he has dealt with his recent serious illness, he has always had the same easy-going attitude”從它在有人突然敲門時的冷靜，到他對最近重病的漠不關心，它始終都是那么隨和。由此可知，作者的名叫Copy的寵物狗最近生了一場大病，故選A。

【2】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的“Another dog of mine, Preston, loves to walk around the yard, spending hours smelling every place and finding out what it means to him. Taking it slowly is another lesson that’s been very hard for me to learn. …even if it means that you won’t see as many things, going slowly when you travel is the only way to really get to know a new place.”，我的另一只狗，普雷斯頓，喜歡在院子里散步，花幾個小時聞一聞每一個地方，看看這對它來說意味著什么。慢慢來是另一個我很難學會的道理……即使這意味著你不會看到很多東西，但旅行時放慢腳步是真正了解一個新地方的唯一方法�？芍髡邚拿�Preston的寵物狗身上學到了旅游時要放慢腳步。故選D。

【3】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在的句子“Although she has become more relaxed over the years, she is still slightly on edge. ”中的轉(zhuǎn)折連詞although，可知前后兩句是相反的。即“雖然過去這些年它變得更放松，但是它仍然有點on edge”，可見該詞是前文的more relaxed（更輕松的）的反義詞，即緊張的。分析選項A. hungry饑餓的；B. nervous 緊張的；C. calm冷靜的；D. happy快樂的�？芍�B項符合題意，故選B。

【4】

推理判斷題。本題屬于推理判斷題中的篇章結構題。綜合全文可知，本文第一段“I am the proud owner of three pet dogs. Over the years, I have watched their behaviors carefully that help me when I travel around the world.”作為三只寵物狗的主人，通過觀察它們的行為，在我周游世界時對我有所幫助。接著從第二段至第四段分別敘述了我從它們身上學到的三大有意義的人生教訓。最后一段作了總結“Many thanks to my pets… After all, pets are people, too, with the help of whom I am able to gain a lot and live differently（我感謝我的寵物，在它們的幫助下，我有許多的收獲”。由此可知，本文的結構是總分總的結構，故選C。

Dear Mr. Zhang,

Known that our school is going to set up elective (選修的) English courses, I'd like to give some advices. English Visual-Audio-Oral Course is a good choice. Most of us are interested at English videos and songs, that provide us with great images and beautiful music to listen to. As result, we can enjoy some local customs and singing English songs with joy. In addition, we need to improve our oral English. When we are always learning English, we may not be able to make a fluent speech. We can't easy communicate with others like native speakers. That is why I suggested taking a Speech Course. I'll be glad that if you can consider my suggestions.

Yours

【題目】 Suppose that we lined up our roughly 14 million United States businesses in order of size, starting with the smallest, along an imaginary road from San Francisco to New York. There will be 4,500 businesses to the mile, or a little less than one per foot. Suppose further that we planted a flag each business. The height of the flag pole represents the yearly volume of sales (銷量) , each $ 10, 000 in sales in shown by one foot of pole.

The line of flagpoles is a very interesting sight. From San Francisco to about Reno, it is almost unnoticeable, a row of poles about a foot high. From Reno eastward the poles increase in height until, near Columbus, Ohio - about four - fifths of the way across the nation - flags fly about 10 feet in the air.

But as we approach the eastern terminus (終點) , the poles suddenly begin to mount (升高) . There are about 300, 000 firms in the country with sales over $ 500, 000. These firms take up the last 75 miles of the 3,000 - mile road. There are 200, 000 firms with sales over $ 1 million. They take up the last 50 miles. Then there are 1, 000 firms with sales of $ 50, 000, 000 or more. They take up the last quarter of a mile before the city limits, flags flying at cloud height, 5 , 000 feet up .

At the very gate of New York, on the last 100 feet of the last mile , we find the 100 largest industrial firms . They have sales of at least $ 1.5 billion, so that their flags are already miles high. Along the last 10 feet of road , there are 10 largest companies . Their sales are roughly $ 10 billion and up : their flags fly 190 miles in the air , almost in the stratosphere (平流層) .

【題目】New App Helps People Remember Faces

Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.

The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.

After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.

Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”

The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.

【1】SocialRecall is used to ________.

A. take photosB. identify people

C. organize eventsD. make friends

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

A. how the app works

B. how the app was created

C. what makes the app popular

D. what people can do with the app

【3】SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ________.

A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones

B. collecting information previously entered in the phone

C. providing the information of a person when they first meet

D. showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face

【4】What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?

A. It may put people’s privacy at risk.

B. It has caused unintended consequences.

C. It can prevent some communication disorders.

D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.
