    閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

Most children, even the youngest of children, are delighted to be around cats and dogs. But these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens(過敏原), prompting researchers to ask: Are cats and dogs really safe for children?

A study finds that, contrary to many parents’ fears, owning cats or dogs does not increase a child’s risk of developing allergies, and in fact, may actually protect them. The study’s lead author, Dr. Dennis Ownby of the Medical College of Georgia, said that even he was “very surprised” by the results. Ownby and colleagues followed more than 470 children from birth to age 6 or 7, comparing those exposed to cats and dogs during their first years of life to those who were not.

By using skin-prick tests for detecting common allergies, the researchers found that, contrary to what many doctors had been taught for years, children who had lived with a pet were not at greater risk.

Even more remarkable, children who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction, up to 77 percent, in risk of allergies. Researchers suggest this protective effect may be the result of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats. Exposing young children to these bacteria helps “exercise” their immune（免疫的） systems early in life so that they’re better able to resist allergic diseases later.

“There’s something very important in the first years of life when the immune system is developing that we can retrain it away from an allergic response,” said Dr. William Davis.

And while researchers are not encouraging parents to buy dogs or cats just to reduce a child’s allergy risk, they say if a family already has one or more animals, there’s no need to get rid of them.

41. Why do the researchers feel “very surprised” by the results of the study?

    A. Because the results are contrary to what they have expected.

B. Because so many families are going to get rid of their cats and dogs.

C. Because parents are so much worried about their children.

D. Because children with animals may develop allergies easily.

42. Compared with children who have pets, those who haven’t ________.

    A. will lose the chance to develop immune system

B. may suffer allergic diseases more often

C. will reduce the harm from bacteria

D. are more likely to resist allergic diseases

43. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

    A. pets are ill-treated by their owners

B. fewer families would like to own cats and dogs

C. keeping pets is a good way to keep children healthy

D. the results of the study can make families with pets feel at ease

44. The underlined word “it” in the fifth paragraph refers to ________.

    A. the early life                      B. an allergic disease

C. immune system                    D. something important

45. What may be the best title of the passage?

A. How to protect your kids from allergies.

B. Your pets may be helping your kids.

    C. Bacteria do good to your kids.        

    D. Advantages of owning pets.

     Hello, my dear fellow classmates. Today we’re having a class meeting here whose topic is “2012 Guangzhou Asian Games & Me”.                                                                            

     Thank you for your attention and next, I hope all of you will share your idea with one another about the coming great Games.

                                                 Brazil has become one of the developing world' s great successes in reducing population

 growth but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts

 to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at

 Harvard.

      Brazil' s population growth rate has dropped from 2. 99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to

 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2. 7 children on

 average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that

makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.

     According to Martine, both soap operas and instalment(分期付款) plans played an important role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world' s biggest producers of soap operas. Global, Brazil' s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy

characters living the high life in big cities.

      "They described that middle and upper class values not many children and women

working. They influenced all parts of Brazil. " says Martine

Meanwhile，the instalment plans tired to encourage he poor to become consume（消費(fèi)者）.

“This led  to a  great change  in  consumption  patterns  and  consumption  went against  unlimited reproduction (生育)." says Martine.

53.  Brazil has cut its  population ，growth____.

  A. by education    B.  by family plan   C. by TV program   D. by chance

54.  Some Third World countries

   A. have paid little attention to birth control

   B. would soon join Brazilin controlling their birth rate.

   C. haven't succeeded in controlling the population

   D. didn't realize the role of TV plays  in  family  planning

55.  Soap operas have helped to lower Brazil's birth  rate  because____.

    A. they keep people sitting long hour watching TV

    B. they have gradually changed people's way of life

    C. people are interested in the stories

    D. they make birth control popular

56. What is Martine's conclusion about Brazil's population growth?

    A. The rising in birth rate will increase consumption.

    B. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.

    C. consumption has nothing to do with reproduction.

D. Soap operas can always lead to low birth rate.

“When I was a small child, during the war, we were very  37  and we lived in a remote

village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a  38 . A German motorcycle had

been broken in that place.

“I  39  to find all the pieces and put them  40 , but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece and made it  41 . I began to play with it as a toy and became  42  by the fact that I could reflect light into dark  43  where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most  44  places I could find.

“I  45  the little mirror, and as I grew up, I would take it out in free moments and  46 

the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to  47  that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor (隱喻) for what I might do with my  48 . I came to understand that I am not the light or the  49  of light. But light — truth, understanding, knowledge — is

there,  50  it will shine in many dark places  51  I reflect it.

“I am a fragment (碎片) of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can  52  light into the dark places of this world — into the  53  places in the hearts of men—and  54  some things in some people. Perhaps others may

Modern scientists have mad great development in building computers that can imitate logical thought. There are two schools of thought on artificial intelligence(人工智能)。 Supporters of “Strong AI” consider that all human thought can be broken down into a set of mathematical operations. They expect that they will one day be able to copy the human mind and create a robot able to both think and feel, with a sense of self---the stuff of classic science fiction. Supporters of “Weak AI” think a computer might seem intelligent, but it is not aware of what it is doing, with no sense of self or consciousness.

Now the development of life---like robots may be closer to reality than you think. Engineers have created robotic soccer players, and bees that act like the real thing.

Powered by a small battery on her back, humanoid robot Lola is a soccer champion. “The idea of the robot is that it can walk and see things because it has a video camera on top.” Raul Rojas, Ph.D., professor of artificial intelligence at Freie University in Berlin, Germany, told Ivanhoe. Using the camera on her head, Lola recognizes objects by color.

“Using this camera, Lola can locate objects on the floor, such as a red ball, go after the ball and try to score a goal,” said Dr. Rojas. German engineers have also created a bee robot. It can imitate the bee’s “waggle” dance which communicates the location of food and water.

“Later what we want to prove is that the robot can send the bees in any decided direction using the waggle dance,” said Dr. Rojas.

Robots like this could one day become high-tech surveillance(偵察) tools that secretly fly and record data.

64. Robotic soccer players mentioned in the text reach the level of        .

A. “Strong AI” technology         B. “Weak AI” technology

C. being able to think themselves  D. having a sense of consciousness

65. How does Lola tell different objects according to the text?

A. By microwave   B. By sound    C. By smell.   D. By color

66. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to “      ”.

A. a bee robot                        B. a robotic soccer player

C. a bee that can use the waggle dance  D. a surveillance tool

67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A. A robot able to both think and feel only exists in science fiction now.

B. Scientists have created the robots that can play soccer better than men.

C. Engineers have created robotic soccer players and bees that can replace the real thing,

D. Scientists have made great development in recording data in the past few years.
